How it works
QCB circular 7/2023 replaced the old 70% and 20-year mortgage rule. For individuals financing a home, ready or under construction, and repaying from salary or their own non-property income, the consolidated 2024 Instructions to Banks set a loan-to-value limit and a maximum term that depend on who buys and the price. Up to QAR 6 million, Qataris may borrow 80% over up to 30 years and residents 75% over up to 25 years; above QAR 6 million the limits fall to 75% and 70%, with the same terms. Investment and commercial property and non-resident buyers have lower limits and are not modelled. The widget finances the price less your down payment, computes the level payment at the rate you enter with A2Z's shared loan engine, and checks the loan-to-value ratio and term. Banks also apply a debt-burden test - 75% for Qataris and 50% for residents - but its salary base was not settled in the text read, so the widget describes it rather than testing it.
Calculation method
- Limits by buyer and price band (<= / > QAR 6m)
- Finance = price - down payment; payment by the reducing-balance formula
- Checks: finance <= price x LTV; term <= maximum
Worked examples
Resident, QAR 3m home
Inputs: Down QAR 750,000; 5% over 25 years
Result: About QAR 13,153 a month; within limits
Resident, 80% finance
Inputs: Down QAR 600,000
Result: Above the 75% limit

Questions
How much can I borrow for a home in Qatar?
Qataris up to 80% of a home worth up to QAR 6 million (75% above); residents up to 75% (70% above), under QCB circular 7/2023.
What is the longest mortgage term in Qatar?
30 years for Qatari citizens and 25 years for residents, for individuals repaying from salary.
Can expatriates get a mortgage in Qatar?
Residents can finance homes in areas open to foreign ownership, at up to 75% loan-to-value over up to 25 years; non-residents face lower limits.
What about off-plan homes in Lusail or The Pearl?
Homes under construction use the same individual limits, with any grace period of at most three years counted inside the maximum term; investment property and non-resident buyers face lower limits.
Are Qatar mortgage limits different for investment flats?
Yes. Ready investment or commercial property repaid from rent allows 75% (Qataris) or 70% (residents) up to QAR 10 million over 25 years, and less above that; under-construction investment property drops to 60% or 50%.
Rules and official sources
Every legal or regulatory figure this widget uses is listed here, with the official page it was read from. The widget reads them from A2Z's rule file for Qatar; when a rule changes, the widget changes with it.
| Rule | Official source | In force from | Last verified | Next review |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Residential mortgage limits Individuals buying a home (ready or under construction) and repaying from salary: property up to QAR 6m - Qataris 80% LTV over up to 30 years, residents 75% over 25 years; above QAR 6m - 75% / 30 years and 70% / 25 years. Figures read from QCB's 2024 consolidated instructions (digits) and matching the Qatar News Agency release of 8 Jul 2023 (official excerpt; the circular itself was not found as a separate file). The mortgage debt-burden base (total salary or basic plus social allowance) is not settled, so the widget does not test it. |
