How do I make an application for a Mortgage through a broker?

So, you've explored your options and decided how much you want to borrow and what type of mortgage you want to apply for. You're ready to take the plunge and officially start the home-buying journey. At this stage, your mortgage broker will submit your application for pre-approval from the bank.

To submit your mortgage application, you'll be asked to provide documentation confirming your salary, address, and identity for an affordability check. But don't worry you can do this part online too with Holo.

Once you've uploaded your docs, we'll submit your application for pre-approval.

What does pre-approval mean?

Pre-approval is a provisional commitment from the bank that they will give you a mortgage subject to the documentation you have provided for your affordability check

Once you have been pre-approved for a mortgage, you can start the exciting part of buying a home; the property search. Having your mortgage pre-approved means that real estate agents and sellers know you're serious about buying and get you those all-important viewings.

Will a mortgage broker charge me fees?

Yes, usually they do. Typically a mortgage broker in Dubai could cost you between AED 2,000 and AED 5,000. But Holo is 100% free. From the moment you make your online application to the minute the keys are in your hands, we won't charge you a penny or a fil.
