Follow on Google News | The New Mortgage Law Boosts Investor Confidence, Says Engel & VoelkersEngel & Voelkers, a German-based international real estate brand, welcomes the new mortgage law issued by the Dubai Government.
The 35-articles law includes all procedures concerning a mortgage and its legal effects on the concerned bodies, as well as execution procedures on the mortgaged property, and the relations between the mortgage issuer and the borrower. The new law makes all mortgage deals that are not registered with the Dubai Land Department null and void, allowing the department to better regulate property and mortgage transactions. The mortgages on properties in Dubai, should henceforth be provided by registered financial institutions and be insured. The borrower and the lender will have to present complete financial documents for registration of the mortgage with the Dubai Land Department. The provisions of the law will be applied to properties for mortgage as property insurance with no difference between full towers or units. The law excludes properties granted by the government to UAE nationals, for residential and commercial purposes, as those are monitored by the orders and instructions issued by the Ruler. The law, which will take effect 60 days after its publishing in the official gazette, stipulates the invalidity of any property contracts that are not registered with the department. # # # Founded in 1977, Engel & Voelkers Group opened its first Middle East office in 2004.
