Frequently Asked Questions

What is LTV and why does it matter?

Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident?
Yes, residents have access to up to 78% LTV. Verify with your chosen bank for current terms.
What are the typical interest rates?
Indicative rates for French Residents range from 4.25% to 5.85% per annum. These are ILLUSTRATIVE ONLY and vary by bank, creditworthiness and market conditions. Always request a formal quote from your lender.
How long does mortgage approval take?
Typically 5–10 days for pre-approval (if documentation is complete) and 2–3 weeks for final approval. Processing times vary by bank and loan complexity.
What are the hidden costs?
Common costs include: processing fee (AED 1,500–3,500), valuation fee (0.25–0.5% of property), insurance (0.5–1% per annum) and registration (4% of property value). Always request a full fee schedule from your bank.
Can I pay off the mortgage early?
