Evidence to prepare for a Emirates NBD review
- A current trade licence and applicable ownership documents, such as the MOA or share certificate; the minimum business history is product-specific.
- Company and personal bank statements plus financial accounts for the period Emirates NBD currently requests.
- Existing personal and business commitments. The CBUAE DBR maximum for expatriates is 50%, but the lender must also stress-test affordability and may use a lower limit.
- Property and identity evidence. CBUAE LTV ceilings depend on the applicant and property category, not employment type; Emirates NBD may approve less.
Regulatory ceilings: CBUAE mortgage regulations. Published bank checklists are not identical; see the source-led comparison in our UAE self-employed mortgage guide. We confirm Emirates NBD’s current checklist before submission.
How we prepare the file before submission
- We reconcile the licence, ownership, accounts and statement trail before the bank sees it.
- If Emirates NBD’s current criteria do not fit, we explain why and compare alternative lenders before another application is sent.
- with no client brokerage fee: a lender may pay Mortg Ease a commission on completion; bank and third-party charges can still apply.
