Initial cash needed to buy property in Dubai with a mortgage
The down payment is not the full initial cash requirement. Registration, brokerage, valuation, mortgage registration, bank fees, insurance and valuation shortfall can all affect completion cash.
Apply the framework to the real facts.
Build a dated cash schedule from reservation to transfer and keep a contingency for a lower bank valuation or changed approval.
What to check
- Down payment based on valuation rules
- DLD and trustee charges
- Brokerage and VAT
- Bank and valuation fees
- Mortgage registration
- Valuation shortfall buffer
Common mistakes
- Using the purchase price instead of bank valuation for the plan
- Spending the contingency on furnishing
- Assuming fees can all be financed
