    Mortgage tips for first time homebuyers

    So you’ve decided to buy a property in Dubai . But what about the finances?  Buying a property in Dubai can be a pressure on your financial state. But don’t worry! There are ways you can address your financial worries. You can get a mortgage to be able to afford your dream home.

    And  applying for a mortgage is easier than you think.

    What is a Mortgage?

     A  mortgage is a type of loan that you obtain to pay the value of a property. A mortgage for residential property is generally called a home loan.  These are the few things you should consider before taking the mortgage.

    How much to take?

    This is a very crucial decision. Before finalizing the amount you should calculate what are you monthly expenses. For example, how much are you spending in food, utilities etc monthly out of your paycheck. This would give you a good idea on the size of property you can afford and the down payment that comes with it. And make sure you don’t only look at just the monthly payment but at the total property cost including moving, relocation, insurance, maintenance etc.

    Don’t flow with the emotions

    So you think since you’re getting a home on loan you should add all the extras like a swimming pool or maybe a fancy deck. This is a mistake that people often make which inflates their monthly payment. Invest in a home that is suitable for your family and is located in a good neighbourhood. Check properties in your pre set price range to avoid falling in the over spending trap.

    Check how much you can borrow

    The loan amount depends on several factors such as credit history, monthly income, other debts which you may have and some other factors for some institutions. So before starting the buying process, consult with a mortgage consultant about the type of loan you’re eligible for. Ensure you don’t get a black mark on your credit file to have a pleasant mortgage application process.

    These are the best rates you will get for a specific amount.
