Lots of people, who are considered non-residents of the UAE, buy property every year in the UAE, which is why it has become one of the hottest real estate markets on Earth. Some are trying to find tax-free rental yields for their properties which can reach up to 10 per cent on smaller units in Dubai; this helps them to lead the way and allows them to enjoy a higher standard of living by doing so. Other people invest in property as an investment in lifestyle with hopes that its value continues to go up – based on demand and reconditioning efforts over time.

As a non-resident, you can apply for a mortgage in Dubai either for a home you are interested in living in or as an investment property. However, depending on your circumstances, and the specific property you want to buy, the amount of deposit you’re asked to pay will change.

Different banks and financial organizations will offer different products, and not every customer can access all of the loans available. There is often specialist mortgage service available for first-time buyers or investors, You’ll likely need to take specialist advice to help you understand all the products available to you.
