Fixed and variable mortgage rates, EIBOR and reset risk in the UAE
A fixed period, variable margin and benchmark reset can produce very different future payments. The advertised starting rate should be read with the full effective rate, fees and post-fixed formula.
Apply the framework to the real facts.
Stress-test the monthly payment above the quoted rate and at the end of the fixed period. Compare early-settlement, switching and insurance costs.
What to check
- Fixed-period length
- Post-fixed benchmark and margin
- Effective annual rate
- Early-settlement and switch fees
- Payment at higher rates
Common mistakes
- Comparing only the first-year rate
- Assuming EIBOR and the bank rate are identical
- Ignoring insurance and processing fees
