Frequently asked questions

The questions we hear most about buying, financing and procedures.

Buying

What are the steps until I own the property?

You view the property, we agree on price and terms, then the title is transferred electronically through the Ministry of Justice platforms. We arrange it between you and the owner.

Are there costs on top of the price?

There is the real-estate transaction tax (5% of the value); citizens buying their first home are exempt up to a set amount under current rules. The brokerage fee is written in the brokerage contract before we start.

Financing

Can I buy with a mortgage?

Yes, through banks and licensed finance companies. The down payment depends on the lender and your situation, and citizens can get support through the Sakani program. We help you prepare the papers and compare offers.

Renting and procedures

How is a lease registered?

Residential leases are registered on the Ejar platform, which protects both tenant and owner. We prepare it once the payment plan is agreed.

How do I book a viewing?

Tap the WhatsApp button on the property page; the message is pre-filled with the property number. We reply with a time that suits you.

Ownership by non-Saudis

Can a non-Saudi own property?

The law on real-estate ownership by non-Saudis allows ownership under conditions that differ for residents and non-residents, within zones set by the Real Estate General Authority; Makkah and Madinah have special rules. We check the property's eligibility before any step; the official reference is the Real Estate General Authority.
