Market overview

UAE mortgages are split into UAE national and expat segments, with different LTV caps and rate access. Major lenders include Emirates NBD, Mashreq, ADCB, FAB, and HSBC. Most rates are tied to EIBOR (Emirates Interbank Offered Rate) with 1-5 year fixed options. Post-2024 rate cuts brought 3-year fixed rates to 4-5% for prime borrowers.

Why 4.5% is the typical rate

4.5% is typical for a 3-year fixed mortgage at 75% LTV for a UAE resident expat with stable salary income. UAE nationals and Golden Visa holders may access slightly better rates.

Tax & regulatory notes

No income tax, no mortgage interest deduction (none needed). Dubai Land Department fee is 4% of property value. Loan-to-Value capped at 80% for UAE nationals (first property under AED 5M), 75% for expats. Mortgage registration fee is 0.25% of loan amount.

❓ FAQ (United Arab Emirates)

Common questions in United Arab Emirates.

Can expats get a UAE mortgage?
Yes. Most major UAE banks lend to salaried expats earning at least AED 15,000-25,000/month with 2+ years of UAE employment. LTV is capped at 75-80% for residents. Non-residents can get mortgages but face lower LTV (50-60%) and higher rates.
EIBOR vs fixed-rate UAE mortgages — which is better?
EIBOR-floating tracks the interbank rate (currently 3-month EIBOR around 4.3%) + a bank margin of ~1.5%. Fixed (2-5 years) gives certainty but typically costs 50-100 bps more than the floating rate at signing. With rates declining, EIBOR-floating has been the better deal in 2025-2026.
Is rental income enough to qualify for a UAE mortgage?
Most UAE banks discount rental income at 60-70% when assessing serviceability. You'll typically need salary income on top of rental for the primary qualification. Investor mortgages exist but with higher LTV caps and rate premiums.
