Mortgage Registration: 0.25% of loan + AED 290 |
Title Deed Issuance: AED 250 |

5% VAT on all bank service fees only. Government fees are VAT-exempt.
⚠️ Key Difference vs Dubai
In Sharjah, there is NO Dubai Land Department (DLD) fee. Instead, SRERD charges 4% (or 2% during ACRES). This is the same rate as DLD but the authority is different. Sharjah has no 4% + AED 580 formula — it is a flat 4% of property value. This can result in significant savings on lower-priced Sharjah properties.
Early Settlement Fee Breakdown
Know exactly what you'll pay to exit your mortgage early — critical for Sharjah investors and property flippers.
AED
⚖️ CBUAE Early Settlement Cap + Sharjah Investor Strategy
Maximum 3% of outstanding balance or AED 10,000 (whichever is lower) within the first year. After 1 year, caps reduce further.
ADIB offers zero early settlement fees when selling the property — the best choice for Sharjah investors in high-growth areas like Tilal City, Aljada, and Maryam Island who may resell within 3–5 years. Islamic finance structures (Ijarah/Murabaha) terms may vary slightly from conventional.

📊 Sharjah Market Insight 2026
Sharjah offers UAE's highest rental yields at 7–9% for apartments — driven by high tenant demand from professionals working in Dubai who prefer Sharjah's family-friendly environment and 40–55% lower rents. The 20–30 minute commute to Dubai, expanding freehold framework under Law No. 2/2022, and master developers Arada and Eagle Hills are driving strong capital appreciation. SRERD recorded AED 1.4B+ in transactions at ACRES 2025 alone. Service charges are lower: AED 8–18 per sq ft/year vs Dubai's AED 12–35 per sq ft/year.
7. Conventional vs Islamic Finance for Sharjah Properties
🏦 Conventional Mortgage
• Interest-based lending (Riba)
• Fixed or EIBOR-linked variable rate
• Available at all 9 banks listed
• Standard penalty structure (CBUAE regulated)
• Works for both freehold and usufruct Sharjah properties
