Real-estate financing FAQ

Real-estate financing is a product that lets you own a home or property through an accredited financier, repaying its value in monthly instalments over an agreed term. In Saudi Arabia, banks and financing providers offer it through Sharia-compliant structures such as Murabaha and Ijara.

Under Murabaha, the property is registered in your name and pledged to the financier until all instalments are paid, and the financing price is fixed and does not change after signing. Under Ijara (lease-to-own), the property stays in the financier's name until the end of the term and then transfers to you, and the rental rate may be variable by agreement. We help you compare and choose what best fits your case.

Requirements vary between financiers, but they usually include Saudi nationality or legal residency, a minimum monthly income, an age within the allowed range, an acceptable credit record, and a deduction ratio within the regulatory limit. We review your situation before applying so your options are clear.

The down payment varies by bank, program type, property value, and whether it is your first home or an additional property, and government programs may support it in some cases. We show you the rates that apply to the offers available to you and compare them clearly.

Real-estate financing is used to buy a new property, while a mortgage (financing secured against a property) lets you obtain cash liquidity against a property you already own without selling it. Each has its own conditions and uses, and we guide you to the one that fits your goal.
