Refinancing & Equity Release
Review your existing UAE mortgage, explore potential refinancing options and understand whether accessing property equity fits your financial plans.
Is Your Current Mortgage Still Right for You?
Your mortgage needs may change as interest rates, property values and personal circumstances evolve. Refinancing can involve moving an existing loan to another lender or adjusting the terms of a mortgage, subject to lender availability and approval.
Equity release may allow an eligible property owner to borrow against part of the property's available equity. It increases secured borrowing and should be evaluated carefully against repayment capacity and long-term objectives.
Refinancing vs. Equity Release
Two different financing decisions, each with its own costs and considerations.
Mortgage Refinancing
Replacing or restructuring an existing mortgage, potentially to obtain different pricing, repayment terms or lender services.
- Review current and alternative financing terms
- Compare transfer and early settlement costs
- Consider fixed and variable rate exposure
- Assess total repayment over the remaining term
Property Equity Release
Potentially borrowing additional funds secured against an eligible property, subject to valuation, equity, affordability and lender criteria.
- Assess outstanding debt and property value
- Understand additional secured borrowing
- Review intended use of funds and affordability
- Consider costs, risks and repayment obligations
