A stalled mortgage pre-approval, rebuilt and closed in budget
A partner referred a client buying a Dubai property on mortgage — documentation complete, income verified, legalization clean. But the file had already broken inside the bank, and the two-month pre-approval validity was running out.
The prior broker had filed the application with no logical structure, so the bank couldn't reach a decision. It was also a mortgage-to-mortgage deal — both buyer and seller carried mortgages, doubling the banks involved and the break risk — against a tight budget in a location pricing above it.
Rather than wait on the bank, we went into the branch the next day, sat with the banker, found where the file had broken, and rebuilt it as a structured case (income, transaction and documentation logic) — recovered after a first bank 'no'. Pre-approval issued in two business days. A focused search plus seller negotiation then closed a unit in the target location.
