Handover notices can be short. A file that is already pre-approved is the difference between a calm transfer and a scramble for bridging cash.

Handover Mortgage Finance in Dubai
When the building is ready, so is the loan.
Handover finance in Dubai takes you from developer instalments to a full bank mortgage when an off-plan home is delivered.
Handover finance is the mortgage arranged as an off-plan Dubai property reaches completion, converting the sums already paid to the developer into a bank loan at delivery.
Off-plan buyers in Dubai typically pay the developer during construction. Some banks will now finance that purchase before completion, depending on the developer, how much of the building is finished, and the buyer’s profile. Others still wait for handover.
Handover finance is the conversion of those instalments into a bank mortgage at delivery. The work is to start early enough. Pre-approval, valuation, and the bank’s conditions should be in motion before snagging is finished.
If the building is still going up and you want finance now, see off-plan mortgage Dubai. If you are close to the keys, stay on this page. Crelco matches the project to lenders that will actually complete.
- Plan the conversion from instalments to a mortgage before handover.
- Compare lenders who finance the building and the developer.
- Align valuation and transfer with the developer’s notice period.
- Avoid last-minute applications that miss the completion window.
- End-to-end support through registration.
How it works
The file, in order.
Developer and bank
Banks treat buildings differently. We check which lenders will finance this community, this developer, and this unit type before you apply.
What you have already paid
Receipts to the developer form part of the file. Keep them. They show the equity you have already put in and help the bank size the mortgage at handover.
If completion slips
Delivery dates move. We keep the file live so a delay does not mean starting again from zero.
See what you can borrow.
A Crelco advisor maps the file, compares banks, and you decide. Crelco does not charge any consultation fees.
Documents
What we typically ask for
- Passport, visa, and Emirates ID if resident
- SPA / sale and purchase agreement
- Payment receipts to the developer
- Salary certificate or trade licence
- Bank statements
Exact lists vary by bank and employment type. We collect only what the file requires.
