ARE MORTGAGES THE BEST WAY TO BUY DUBAI REAL ESTATE IN 2025? | DUBAI REAL ESTATE PODCAST
Wed Apr 09 2025
Mortgages in Dubai can feel overwhelming—especially with shifting regulations, residency questions, and bank requirements that seem to change overnight. But Amit Nainnani, Director of Sales at Lion Mortgage, is back on the show to simplify it all. After his last episode became one of our most-watched ever, Amit returns with even more clarity, insight, and practical advice.
In this episode, he breaks down how financing works for both residents and non-residents, the real timelines buyers need to know, and why planning six months in advance can save you stress (and money). We also cover equity release, changes in DLD fee financing, and common mistakes buyers make when assuming visa status equals eligibility. Whether you're buying your first property or scaling a portfolio, Amit’s guidance cuts through the confusion and helps you make smarter, faster decisions in Dubai’s fast-moving market.
