If you're a UAE resident
UAE-resident British nationals can borrow up to 80% of the value on a first home (75% above AED 5M), just like any resident — often an attractive step up from renting in Dubai.
If you're buying from abroad
UK-based buyers can finance UAE property as non-residents, generally up to 50–75% of the value. Several UAE lenders are comfortable with UK income and are well set up for non-resident applications.
How we help British & UK buyers
- Finance as a UAE resident (up to 80% LTV) or as a UK non-resident (typically 50–75%).
- UK salary, self-employment or company income can usually be assessed by the right lender.
