How we help with buying property in saudi arabia for foreigners
Since 22 January 2026 the Non-Saudi Real Estate Ownership Law allows non-Saudi individuals, residents and non-residents alike, as well as foreign companies and funds, to own property in approved geographic zones of the Kingdom, with special rules for Mecca and Medina. The opportunity is real, but so are the conditions: the right category of buyer, a property inside an approved zone, the correct ownership structure, registration on the Saudi Real Estate portal, the transaction tax, and ongoing obligations after purchase.
We guide non-Saudi buyers through every step, from confirming eligibility before any deposit is paid to the electronic transfer of the deed into your name, and we run full due diligence on the property itself so you buy with certainty. We also advise owners who qualify for Premium Residency through real estate.
Eligibility & Zone Check
Which buyer category you fall under (resident, non-resident, company, fund) and whether the specific property sits inside an approved zone and within the permitted foreign-ownership ratio.
Ownership Structuring
Freehold, long-term usufruct or other real rights, in your name or through a Saudi-registered company, chosen for tax, succession and resale.
Saudi Real Estate Portal Application
Registration, document preparation (residency ID or passport, commercial and investment registration for companies), the automated zone verification and payment of the prescribed consideration.
Property Due Diligence
Deed verification, mortgages, seizures, heirs, planning and fees, so a permitted purchase is also a safe one.
Contract, Tax & Transfer
Bilingual sale agreement, deposit protection, Real Estate Transaction Tax registration and the electronic transfer of the deed on Najiz.
Premium Residency Through Property
Assessing whether your purchase qualifies you for Premium Residency (unmortgaged residential property of at least SAR 4 million) and handling the application.
