Find out how to apply with HSBC

Applying for a mortgage with us is simple - we'll guide you through the two steps. First, we recommend that you get an Approval in Principle, then you can apply for your home loan.

Approval in Principle

We recommend that you get an Approval in Principle before you apply for your home loan. This is because:

  • it'll give you a good idea of the amount you may be able to borrow
  • you can get it on average in just 60 minutes1
  • it's valid for up to 60 days
  • it doesn't cost you anything
  • it won't impact your credit score
  • it gives you an advantage in the homebuying process ie, it shows the seller you're ready to buy

How to get an Approval in Principle

To apply for an Approval in Principle, complete our form and one of our mortgage advisers will call you back, or you can visit us at your local branch.

You'll need the following documents when you speak to our mortgage adviser:

  • a valid passport, visa or Emirates ID (we'll need to verify your ID in a branch)
  • an income statement (eg a salary certificate)

On average, you'll receive your Approval in Principle within 60 minutes of submitting your documents.

Apply for a home loan

We recommend that you have an Approval in Principle before you start your full home loan application. But, you can complete an application without one.

Who can apply?

Before you apply for a home loan, check that:

  • you're a UAE resident aged between 21 and 65 years and
  • you have a minimum monthly income of AED 15,000

 

UAE residents

If you're a UAE resident, we'll open an appropriate current account for you to make your home loan repayments, if you don't have one already.

Non-residents

If you live outside of the UAE, you may still be able to apply for a home loan to buy a property here. You'll need to be an HSBC Premier customer, or be eligible for an account for your home loan repayments.

We'll let you know if you're eligible and answer any of your questions, when you request a call back.

If you do not keep up your repayments/payments, you may lose your property.

You may have to pay penalties if you pay off a loan/financing early.

If you do not meet the repayments/payments on your loan/financing, your account will go into arrears. This may affect your credit rating, which may limit your ability to access financing in the future.

Refinancing your loans/financing may take longer to pay off than your previous loan/financing and may result in paying more in interest/profit.

Enter a few details in our form and one of our mortgage advisers will call you back.
