Downtown Dubai area guide →Can this lot be bought with a mortgage, and what would the payment be?
UAE banks lend on ready homes, and the listing does not confirm that this property is ready. If it has been handed over, the numbers are: a resident puts down from 30%, here AED 1 950 000; a loan of AED 4 550 000 over 25 years at 3.75–4.99% a year comes to roughly AED 23 400–26 600 a month. A non-resident puts down from 40% (AED 2 600 000) and pays about AED 20 100–22 800 a month. The bank approves the rate and the amount.
Run your own numbers in the mortgage calculator →What costs come on top of the price?
The main one is the Dubai Land Department registration fee: 4% of the price, AED 260 000 for this lot. With a mortgage the bank charges for processing and valuation, and the mortgage is registered for a separate fee. I will send the full calculation for this lot on request.
Does buying this lot qualify for a UAE residence visa?
On price, yes: the 10-year Golden Visa is granted for property from AED 2 000 000, and this lot is priced at AED 6 500 000. The threshold is measured by the Dubai Land Department valuation, not the contract, and only freehold qualifies.
