ISLAMIC FINANCE

Real Estate, Commercial, Corporate

(Any Purpose - Any Amount - Any Background)

Islamic finance is a financial system that operates according to Islamic law (Sharia) and is, therefore, Sharia-compliant. Like conventional economic systems, Islamic finance features banks, capital markets, fund managers, investment firms, and insurance companies. Islam requires that investors (lenders) and entrepreneurs (borrowers) share involvement in economic activities resulting in profit and loss. Two broad categories of well-known products that support the sharing of profit and loss:

Mudaraba products: In a modaraba contract, a financier (lender) provides capital to an entrepreneur (borrower) who manages an economic activity such as property construction, a business, or a joint venture. When this economic activity returns a profit, both parties share the proceeds; when a loss occurs, only the financier (lender) bears the financial loss. (The entrepreneur loses his effort and time.) However, if the loss is due to the misconduct of the entrepreneur, then he must suffer financial loss as well.

Musharaka products: In a Musharaka contract, both parties become involved in a joint venture project or property by investing capital and entrepreneurship. Both parties share any profit or bear any loss generated by the activity.

Islamic Real Estate Investments Finance are FCA Non-regulated products.

Islamic Finance FAQ?

How Much Can I Borrow?

Borrowing against the investment property will depend on whether it is Owner Occupied or Rented/Leased. In case, it is owner-occupied, the finance will depend on the profitability or EBITDA generated to service the loan. Alternatively, if the commercial property is rented, the loan amount will primarily depend on the annual rent being received by the tenant.

Can I Take Out an Islamic Mortgage on profit (Interest) Only?

Yes, Islamic Finance is available on profit ( interest) only or with a full capital repayment option.

What are Regulated Commercial Mortgages?

Islamic mortgages become regulated if 40% or more of the property is to be used as or in connection with a dwelling. This occurs where a property is used to both live in and trade from.

Can I Borrow Against Leasehold Property?

Yes, our commercial mortgage products are available for leasehold properties.
