EP 19 – Expat Guide to Off-Plan Mortgages in Dubai
Thursday Nov 27, 2025
Thursday Nov 27, 2025
In this episode, we have the pleasure of speaking with Liv Thornhill from SPF Private Clients UAE. Liv provides valuable insight into an off-plan mortgage product specifically designed for Dubai properties. Although currently available through only a select group of developers, this product presents an excellent opportunity for non-residents to invest in larger properties. It also allows investors to finance the remaining balance of their payment plan, thereby facilitating a more accessible and strategic entry into the Dubai property market.
Please note that this mortgage facility is limited to purchases made via certain developers who are willing to issue a Pre-title Deed and permit bank access for property valuation within the Sale and Purchase Agreement (SPA). These conditions are essential for eligibility.
I encourage you to listen to the episode for a comprehensive understanding of this new and promising product. Additionally, kindly share this information with your network and follow our channel to help us expand our reach and keep you updated with future podcasts.
Thank you for your attention, and I look forward to your continued engagement.
