About this episode

The episode discusses the tightening of the Dubai mortgage market and the implications for property buyers.

Craig is joined by Shauna Callaghan a mortgage broker and Mario Volpi to discuss how the Dubai mortgage market remains active, but lending conditions have tightened. Banks are applying stricter stress testing and deeper scrutiny on borrower profiles, reflecting a shift in risk management. For buyers, this means longer approval timelines, more documentation, and a need for stronger financial positioning before entering the property market.
