The bank will provide loans of up to 70 percent of property value for Qataris and Expats, with mortgage repayment periods of up to 20 years.
The updated home loan offering features 4 product variants for discerning individuals and families. Qatari customers can obtain housing loans for ‘ready to sell properties’ or houses and villas under construction, while expatriates and Qataris can benefit from leasehold and freehold property purchases.
Dr R Seetharaman, Doha Bank group CEO, said: “Our customers’ needs are paramount and we believe in launching products best suited and geared towards their expectations. Doha Bank recognises that the property market is an important element of the Qatar economy. There has been overall stabilisation of the real estate market this year, particularly in retail mortgage properties, and much of this can be attributed to current and future spending on infrastructure works, and reinvigorated real estate development in Qatar.”
