The most important aspect of a mortgage is to have a realistic budget. You would need to understand the following before purchasing a property:
Your affordability, so look for a property within your budget
You need to make a down payment for the house that you plan to buy and in UAE this would typically be 25% of the purchase price. Make sure that you will be able to pay this amount
Understand the fee structure well before entering into a contract, for it should not be a burden on your pocket later
Get to know about the principal, interest, insurance and taxes that are essential parts of a mortgage
Be prepared to make regular repayments according to the EMI calculated based on the loan amount
The same EMI rate may continue till your loan is fully repaid or it may be reset at fixed intervals
Floating interest rates may change at any time. If it is reduced, you stand to benefit because you would be paying much less than the fixed interest rate, but if it is increased, you will have to pay a lot more interest on your loan. Make sure that you can afford the Dubai mortgage interest rate before you take the home loan
A non-refundable processing fee of 0.5 to 1.5% of the loan amount is charged by the bank for processing your loan application whether or not you decide to take the loan
You will be paying more by way of interest if you opt for the off plan property mortgage instead of the ownership for a ready property mortgage as your intention is to profit from the investment
If you want to prepay the Dubai mortgage loan from your personal savings, the bank does not charge you a fee, or may charge at 1% but in case you are shifting your loan to a different lender, you will have to pay 1 to 3% of your loan outstanding amount as early settlement charges
Be aware that by taking a mortgage loan, you enter into a legal contract with the lender, so non-payment of your debt will give the lender the right to resort to foreclosure, a term given to the process of selling your property to cover the loan amount. It would also affect your credibility to a great extent that it may be very difficult for you to purchase a new property later
Expatriates will be allowed to borrow 75% of the total value of a property for a first investment of less than AED 5 million whereas UAE nationals will be allowed to borrow up to 80%
For properties worth more than AED 5 million, expatriates and UAE nationals can borrow up to 65% and 70% respectively of the total value of the property
All mortgages will be restricted to 50% for off-plan properties irrespective of purpose, value or nationality
Loan repayment will be spread over a term of 25 years. Maximum age for expatriates and UAE nationals at the time of the last installment of the loan will be 65 and 70 years respectively
EMI cannot be greater than 50% of a borrower’s monthly income and total repayments cannot be more than the annual income earned in 7 years for an expatriate and 8 years for a UAE national
The above new rules came into effect from November 2013.
You need to be at least 21 years of age to buy a property
Maximum age to get a home loan is 58 years if you are salaried and 60 years if you are self-employed but this can change according to the lender
You need to have a steady income to be able to get a mortgage loan as your monthly income alone can help determine your loan amount
