Whether you are a local resident, a GCC investor or an international buyer, we ensure your journey is simple, secure and fully supported from start to finish.

Buying Property in Saudi Arabia

Who Can Buy Property in Saudi Arabia?

Saudi Nationals can purchase freely across the Kingdom.
GCC Nationals are allowed to buy in selected areas.
Foreigners can now buy property in Saudi Arabia under new regulations, with approvals granted for residential purchases in designated zones.

We advise all international clients to check the latest guidelines with our in-house team or legal partners, as rules may differ between cities and projects.

Step-by-Step Buying Process

1. Select the Property

With access to high-profile developments like Trump Tower Jeddah and selected Riyadh and NEOM-area projects, we match your goals with the right investment.

2. Submit Buyer Information

Foreign buyers may be required to submit personal and financial documents for pre-approval depending on the project and legal framework.

3. Reserve the Unit

Once selected, the unit is reserved by signing a reservation form and paying a booking deposit. This secures the property until final agreements are prepared.

4. Sign the Sales Agreement

The sales contract outlines payment plans, completion timelines, and full terms. For off-plan properties, post-handover payment options may be available.

5. Legal Registration

After final payment, the property is registered with the relevant municipality or authority. We assist you in completing this step, including any official approvals or documentation.
