Loan Application Step by Step

• Investing in property in Dubai is a serious deal and you should take the time to study the available finance options from different banks or private lenders.
• Before going out for the big adventure to search and invest in a property, It is advisable to make sure that you are an eligible candidate for a loan application. Try to get an estimated finance property pre approval letter from your bank. This one is important. A number of buyers go out looking for a property without being sure that they will even be financed and pay a down payment from their hard earned saving to reserve the property. While many have luck and get to find a finance institute within 2 weeks. They were still rushed to make a fast decision and may have not gotten the best loan deal available for them.
• Your selected property may be financed by one bank only.In many cases this development is engaged with the concerning bank and will give you all the support to get their so called “In house finance”. If so, apply for a loan as soon as you know you like to invest in this property. Many Developers, Brokerage Companies and Re Sellers understand the situation of a finance buyer and will give him a chance to secure the property for a period of time with a reservation form that has a clause saying:” The buyer needs to make all his best efforts to comply for his loan application; if the bank rejects the loan application all the deposited funds will be returned.”
• It is important that your lender takes the time to understand your individual needs. While there may be a number of lenders that can provide finance, there is usually one lender which offers the "most suitable" product for your requirements. -You just have to find them. Some lenders will reject any application because it doesn’t fit neatly into their guidelines. Look for a lender which can offer you a more service oriented and flexible approach and can help you secure a loan, no matter whether you're borrowing as an individual or a company.
• Consider the entire loan package. Many people only look at the initial interest rate when looking for a Mortgage. With experience however, you realize that the entire package, including costs, flexibility and exit fees should be considered - not just the initial interest rate.
• Also nonresidents can apply for a loan in the U.A.E. You can either apply for a resident or non-resident finance.
• Islamic/Sharia Loans and Mortgages –What is the difference? Although both Shariah loans and Mortgages fulfill the same role (providing money to a borrower) Shariah loans do not charge interest - they are based on Islamic profit-share principals. Shariah loans are similar to hire/purchase agreements in that the title of the asset stays with the lender of the money, until the final loan payment is made - and the title is then transferred unencumbered to the buyer. For a mortgage, the title is always with the buyer, but a "registered interest" of the bank stays on that title until the last payment is made – and the registered interest is then removed. Shariah loans are also available to people who are not Muslims.
• Loan application fees vary between lenders and loan products. Each lender has its own fees and charges. Some lenders may require insurance policies linked to the mortgage. Building insurance is also commonly required. If you find yourself in uncertainty or lost, it can be advisable to find help from an independent finance consultant which works together with several banks and lenders.They are trained to know most of the products and rates and can give good advice for your individual situation. Most of these advisers get paid commissions from their lenders when they supply them a client. They may also charge you a consultation fee which can, of course vary again.
