Answer: Yes — it's called a mortgage buyout, and it's routine. The new bank settles your old loan and re-registers the property. There's no 4% DLD fee because ownership doesn't change.
Typical timeline is 3–6 weeks. The full mechanics, costs and break-even math: UAE mortgage buyout guide — or see buyout pages for each bank, e.g. Emirates NBD and RAKBANK.
