Emaar Properties partners with Standard Chartered Bank to offer two easy home finance options

1. Mortgage offered on Emaar’s projects in Dubai
2. Two mortgage options for end-users and investors up to 75 per cent of property value
3. Asset Back Lending Product is an easy loan unique to the market and tailored for end-users and customers seeking financial assistance
4. Standard Home Loan Product will appeal to potential buyers seeking property in Dubai

Emaar Properties has partnered with Standard Chartered Bank to extend two easy home finance packages for all its projects in Dubai that will be delivered in the next nine months.

Standard Chartered Bank will offer two mortgage products – the Asset Back Lending (ABL) Product and Standard Mortgage Product (SMP). The Asset Back Lending (ABL) Product offers an easy loan of up to 40 per cent of the property price with mortgage of AED 100,000 to AED 2.5 million will be provided for a tenure of 3 to 25 years.

The Standard Mortgage Product offers a standard loan of up to 75 per cent of the property price. Potential end-users and customers can obtain financial support from AED 150,000 to AED 10 million for a tenure of 3 to 25 years.

The home finance options will cover an extended portfolio of Emaar projects including apartments and villas in Dubai in prime locations such as Downtown Burj Dubai, Dubai Marina, Arabian Ranches and Emirates Living. The ABL easy loan is particularly tailored for current investors and end-users seeking financial support to complete the remaining payments before handover, while the standard mortgage will appeal to all potential home-buyers.

Mr Ahmad Al Matrooshi, Managing Director – UAE, Emaar Properties, said: “The partnership between Emaar Properties and Standard Chartered Bank is a huge confidence booster for Dubai’s property sector, as it marks the strengthening of liquidity levels. Emaar has always been at the forefront of industry-leading initiatives and this collaboration will further invigorate the market and strengthen investor confidence.”

He added: “The two easy mortgage plans are tied in for the projects that are to be delivered in the next nine months. The ABL product, an easy loan, particularly underscores our commitment to support investors who have been affected by the unprecedented challenges of the global financial crisis.”

Commenting on the partnership, Chris de Bruin, Head of Consumer Banking, Standard Chartered UAE said, “This is an exciting opportunity for Standard Chartered to broaden the core range of our home finance solutions which are offered by us in both conventional and Shariah compliant varieties. The introduction of this new line up is part of the larger consumer banking concept that Standard Chartered has created specifically to be more customer centric.”

Potential customers can visit the Emaar Sales Centre within Downtown Burj Dubai or the nearest Standard Chartered Bank branch located at Emaar Business Square and complete the formalities to avail of the mortgage.
