Multi-Currency Mortgage Lending in Dubai

This service is designed for customers planning to purchase properties outside their country of residence.

Where a client is associated with a particular currency via their earnings or assets, it can make sense, to borrow in that particular currency. An example being someone working in Japan, who is paid in Japanese Yen, purchasing a property in Dubai. The mortgage would normally be arranged in Dirhams, but can be arranged in Yen to minimise the clients exposure to regular exchange rate shifts.

Currencies available include: Sterling, Euros, Swiss Francs, US Dollars, Hong Kong Dollars, Singapore Dollars, Australian Dollars, New Zealand Dollars and Japanese Yen.

Currently lending of this type can be arranged in Dubai to a maximum of 50% of the value of the property.

International-Mortgage-Broker.com is happy to announce that it is one of the first brokers to arrange mortgages in Qatar:

• We can finance up to 65% of the purchase price, meaning a 35% down payment has to be provided.
• Finance is case sensitive to the age and the monthly income you receive
• We can arrange mortgages for up to 20 years on a repayment basis.The loan has been repaid, however, by the time you reach the age of 60.
• If you wish to make a joint application, we will also need to look at their source of income, obligations with other banks, and other financial background.
• The Interest rate is currently at 9.25% on a variable basis.
• Other charges include a management fee of 1% of the loan amount.
• There is an early repayment charge of 1% of the remaining balance.

Regarding investment in the Qatar property market, kindly note that there are only a few places that expats/ non-residents can currently own a free hold property.

We are able to obtain pre-approval of mortgages for customers, so whether you are at the very early stages of thinking about purchasing a property in Qatar or have already found your Qatar  property, we may be able to help.
