FAQ
Questions Buyers Ask Us
Under UAE Central Bank loan-to-value rules, expats typically need a minimum 20% down payment for a first property valued up to AED 5 million, and 30% above that. UAE nationals benefit from lower minimums (15% / 25%). We always structure your file to the lowest compliant deposit route.
Yes. Several UAE banks lend to non-residents, typically up to 50–60% LTV on selected projects and communities. We maintain an up-to-date list of non-resident-friendly lenders and their documentation requirements.
Pre-approval usually takes 24–48 hours once income documents are in order. Full approval including valuation typically completes within 5–10 working days, depending on the lender and property type.
Not necessarily. UAE Islamic banks price their profit rates competitively against conventional interest rates, and many offers match or beat them. We always quote both structures side by side so you can choose with full clarity.
About Loanzone
Fifteen Years of Turning UAE Renters into Owners
Founded in Dubai in 2011, Loanzone has grown into one of the most trusted independent mortgage advisory firms in the Emirates.
Home / About Us
Our Story
Built on Trust, Measured in Families Housed
Loanzone began as a two-desk consultancy in Deira, helping newly arrived expats understand a mortgage market that felt opaque and intimidating. Fifteen years later, our advisors have arranged more than AED 1.2 billion in home finance across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Ras Al Khaimah.
We remain deliberately independent. No bank owns us, no product is pushed — our panel of 20+ lenders competes for every single client file, and that competition is your advantage.
Today our team of certified advisors, Sharia finance specialists and former bank underwriters serves clients in five languages, from our Downtown Dubai headquarters.
Our Mission
To make UAE home ownership simple, transparent and achievable for every resident and investor — by placing independent expert advice at the centre of every mortgage decision.
Our Vision
A UAE where every family and investor can access fair, Sharia-conscious and conventional home finance with complete clarity — and where the advisor, not the product, comes first.
