Tamweel PJSC, the UAE Islamic home finance provider, has announced the expansion of its Home Finance product suite with the launch of two new products.
The Non-residents Programme will make home finance available to select overseas investors looking to purchase residential property in the UAE.
Tamweel’s Home Refinance Program for fully paid properties is designed to help owners unlock the value in their homes.
Through the Non-residents Programme, finance is available for ready residential properties in Abu Dhabi and Dubai up to a maximum value of Dh5 million and with a repayment tenure of up to 25 years.
The product is open to salaried individuals from select countries.
The launch of the Non-residents Programme follows the recent announcement of the Federal Cabinet to extend visas for non-resident property buyers to three years from the current six months.
Varun Sood, Acting Chief Executive Officer of Tamweel, said: “The recent announcement by the Federal Cabinet will bring about increased certainty to foreign property investors which will in turn provide a boost to the UAE real estate sector. In launching this product now, Tamweel is well positioned to meet the anticipated uplift in demand from overseas investors.”
Tamweel also launched its Home Refinance Programme which allows salaried and self-employed owners of fully paid properties to acquire finance for up to 50 per cent of the value of their home.
“Home Refinance Programmes are common in many mature markets, such as the UK and US, but relatively new in the UAE.
There is, however, a clear demand from owners of fully paid properties to unlock some of the value in their homes to fund home renovations, children’s educations and etc.
The launch of Tamweel’s Home Refinance Programme meets this demand and is in line with our commitment to provide innovative solutions that meet the evolving needs of customers,” added Sood.
