Eligibility Criteria to Get Mortgage in the UAE

The minimum monthly salary requirements to apply for the mortgage in the UAE starts from AED 15,000. However, some banks may accept lower incomes if your debt burden ratio (DBR) is favorable.
The UAE Central Bank mandates that your total monthly debt payments, including the new mortgage, should not exceed 50% of your monthly income. For example, if your monthly income is AED 20,000, your total debt payments should not exceed AED 10,000.
A down payment is essential, and the amount can vary based on the type of property and your status of your residency. Generally, expatriates may need to provide a higher down payment compared to the UAE nationals.
Lenders require proof of stable employment. For salaried individuals, a minimum of six months of employment history is often needed. Self-employed individuals should have at least two years of business activity, supported by audited financial statements.
Age Limitations - Most banks have age limits for when the loan should be fully paid off, typically requiring borrowers to be under a certain age (often 65-70 years) at the end of the loan term.

Types of Mortgages in the UAE

With a fixed-rate mortgage, the rate of interest is agreed upon prior to the commencement of the loan for a specific fixed period usually up to five years.

A variable rate mortgage follows the market conditions, so your repayments must increase or decrease periodically.

A non-resident mortgage which is intended for buyers who live outside the UAE. This usually means that monthly repayments are much higher; however, it presents a route through which international investors can buy property in Dubai.

Under an offset mortgage, your savings account is linked directly to your mortgage balance. The more you have in the bank, the lesser interest you pay, thereby allowing you scope to reduce your repayment burden without actually paying down the loan.

Remortgaging means switching to a new option in order to get better terms. This could become more important if interest rates have gone up, or the current deal is not competitive anymore.
