Sobha Hartland area guide →Is the property ready or still under construction?
The handover date in the listing is Q3 2026, which has already passed. I will confirm whether the property has actually been handed over when you ask: listings are not always updated.
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 20%, here AED 372 000; a loan of AED 1 488 000 over 25 years at 3.75–4.99% a year comes to roughly AED 7 700–8 700 a month. A non-resident puts down from 40% (AED 744 000) and pays about AED 5 700–6 500 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 74 400 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 the lot clears the classic threshold for the two-year residence visa, AED 750 000. It is AED 140 000 short of the 10-year Golden Visa, granted from AED 2 000 000. The threshold is measured by the Dubai Land Department valuation, not the contract, and only freehold qualifies.
Golden Visa and residence visas →How do I view the property and get the exact address?
Lots in the database are anonymised: the unit number, exact address and owner's details are not published. Send the lot code NP9-498355 on WhatsApp or Telegram — I will confirm the lot is still for sale, send the full details and arrange a viewing.
A mortgage covers the final instalment
The final payment on this building falls in 2026 — under off-plan plans that is 40–60% of the price in one go. A UAE bank closes it: the flat becomes the security, and nothing is added on top of what the developer has already been paid.
- Up to 80% of the appraised value, no extra down payment
- 3.99% fixed for three years, up to 25 years in term
- 6–12 months before the keys — the bank wants six months of income history
Already been invoiced, or missed the date? That is not a dead end either — write and we will look at what the developer will accept.
