Dubai, UAE, Monday 20th April 2026 – Allsopp & Allsopp’s mortgage division is reporting a marked return to form in April, with the latest data pointing to a clear and confident recovery in buyer activity across Dubai’s property market.
In a clear demonstration of the market’s resilience, Allsopp & Allsopp submitted more mortgage applications in the first eight days of April than it did across the entire month of March – a figure that underlines just how swiftly sentiment has recovered and accelerated.
When comparing the first two weeks of April against the same period in March, submissions are up by more than 250%, a near fourfold increase that points to a decisive shift in buyer momentum.
“The numbers tell a very positive story,” says Michael Melim, Head of Mortgages at Allsopp & Allsopp. “Despite some uncertainty in the wider region, buyers have quickly returned to the market with real intent”.
The mortgage recovery does not exist in isolation. Across the wider Allsopp & Allsopp business, the same confidence is reflected at every stage of the transaction pipeline. Internal data shows viewing activity up 198%, buyer enquiries up 147%, and completed transactions up 98% week-on-week – a market moving decisively out of uncertainty and back into active trade.
The data suggests that buyers have taken recent geopolitical uncertainty in their stride, choosing to move forward with purchases rather than sit on the sidelines – a reflection of the enduring confidence that underpins Dubai’s real estate market. The UAE’s stable regulatory environment, continued infrastructure investment, and strong international demand continue to draw buyers who view property here as a long-term safe haven.
For buyers considering their timing, current market conditions are particularly compelling. The best mortgage rates available in Dubai right now are sitting as low as 3.89%, providing a meaningful incentive for those who have been waiting on the sidelines to move forward with confidence.
While the headline rate is an important starting point, Allsopp & Allsopp’s mortgage advisors take a holistic view of every product – factoring in all associated costs including fees and insurances – to ensure clients end up with the most cost-efficient structure overall, not just the lowest rate on paper.
For Allsopp & Allsopp’s mortgage team, this level of activity signals not just a strong month, but a broader trend of sustained buyer engagement that shows no signs of slowing.
