A mortgage broker who has actually been the expat
on the wrong side of a bank's paperwork.

I help people buy property in Dubai without a UAE credit history, a local payslip, or the patience for seven rounds of "just one more document." I've moved between six countries myself — I know exactly which forms you're missing. Let me help you compare 18+ UAE banks for the most suitable mortgage option.

About Anton

Built the mortgage software.
Then started using it on people, not code.

For seven years I built fintech products — most recently leading the mortgage platform that banks and brokers across the region use to process loan applications. I understood the machinery of a mortgage before I ever arranged one.

In 2025 I moved to the other side of the desk, becoming a mortgage consultant in Dubai. I now spend my time with people instead of product specs — and I've found the two skills sit closer together than you'd think: reading a case file is still reading a system, just one with a person attached.

Before Dubai, I lived and worked in Singapore, Sydney, Hong Kong, Stockholm and Barcelona — which means every client conversation about "I don't have a local salary certificate" or "my credit history is in another country" is one I've had about myself, in one city or another.

"You're not a difficult case. You're a normal case that the wrong bank hasn't seen before."

Where I can help

01

First-time buyer, expat status

Structuring a case around foreign income, a new employment contract, or a credit file that doesn't exist here yet.

02

Non-resident & offshore buyers

Financing for buyers purchasing from abroad — different lender panel, different paperwork, same deadline pressure.

03

Remortgage & equity release

Reviewing an existing rate, switching lenders, or releasing equity to fund the next purchase.

04

Self-employed & business owners

Presenting variable or multi-currency income in a way underwriters can actually approve.

How a case actually moves

Initial call

30 minutes on your situation, your timeline, and what a bank will actually ask for.

Pre-approval

Your file goes to the lenders most likely to say yes — not every lender, just the right ones.

Offer & valuation

Once you've found the property, I manage the bank's valuation and the formal offer in parallel.

Disbursal

Final conditions cleared, funds released, keys handed over. Done.

Let's see what a bank will actually offer you.

No obligation, no local credit history required to start the conversation.
