How to buy a property in Riyadh, step by step
From setting a budget to the transfer: what to know before you pay a deposit.
Set your budget and payment method
Start with what you can finance: a mortgage, housing support or cash. It defines your search and saves time.
What to check before you pay
Before any deposit, check that the title deed is valid and matches the seller, that there is no mortgage or restriction, that the area matches the deed, and review the building permit and developer warranties.
Negotiation and transfer
Negotiate the price, payment schedule and handover terms, then follow the bank and the notary through to the keys.
