Definition:

The Government of Dubai lands department credits mortgages for both individuals and different bodies. The mortgage is registered for the benefit of certified banks, government departments or local individuals and a mortgage contract is issued once the conditions are met and all necessary documents have been submitted. Mortgage contracts are credited if they relate to first degree or second degree lands (i.e. new mortgages on land areas which have been previously mortgaged) which have no restrictions and are going to be used for building purposes. However, there are some cases where mortgages are not credited such as:-

• If the mortgage was under age unless there was an order from the office of the attorney General.
  
• If the involved bank was not yet licensed to conduct business in the UAE.
  
• If the indicated land was confiscated.

 Documents Required:  

Mortgage contracts could be dissolved or modified at any time if the department received a letter from the pledgee indicating its termination or the necessary modifications on the payment method. Moreover, the mortgage could be transferred from one body to another in what is known as the mortgage transfer process.
