Interest:

* Part of the loan will also need to paid off as “Principal” but this is not lost
ADM Fee: – This will be saved as, unlike tenants owners don’t pay ADM Fee

*Principal:
(Principal is what you pay off your loan, you dont lose it the way you lose rent or interest)

So how do we get these numbers?

First of all we work backwards to get how much your property is probably worth – we do this by assuming your rent is 7% of the value of the property, which is pretty standard amongst property in Abu Dhabi.

We then apply the mortgage rate to 80% of that value (you can only borrow 80%, you’ll need to find 20% deposit in cash). Mortgages make up two payments, interest and principal. Principal is paid to reduce the loan, and interest is lost to the bank (in the way you currently lose rent to the landlord).

We then take your current rent, subtract the interest part of the loan, subtract a further 5% of the rent (this is the municipality fee that owners don’t pay), et Voila! This is your saving. If you want us to make a bespoke calculation just for you click on the button below.
