Sakan.com is a property portal built for people in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain and Oman who want to buy, rent or invest in property in the United Kingdom, Spain and France. Listings come from estate agents and developers working in those markets, and every page is available in English and Arabic, so you can compare homes abroad in the language you are most comfortable with.
Browse property for sale in the UK, from flats in London to family homes in Manchester and Birmingham. On the Mediterranean, see property for sale in Spain, with villas and apartments in Marbella, Estepona and Barcelona, or property for sale in France, from Paris to Nice on the Côte d'Azur. Filter by city, property type, number of bedrooms and price to narrow the search to homes that fit your plans.
Whether you are moving for work, sending children to university or spending the summer in Europe, you can find property to rent in the UK (including London), Spain and France. For shorter trips, Sakan Stays lets you book apartments, villas and houses by the night.
Many buyers from the Gulf choose new-build homes: they come with modern finishes, developer warranties and, often, staged payments before completion. Explore new developments in the UK and new developments in Spain, compare floor plans and prices, and contact the developer directly from the project page.
Buying property in another country is simpler when you know the steps. In most cases they are:
Prefer not to do it alone? Our Help Me Buy team can help you find and buy the right home, and our guides explain the buying process, costs and rules in each country.
Can people from the GCC buy property in the UK, Spain and France?
Yes. All three countries allow foreign buyers, including residents and citizens of the Gulf states, to own homes there. The buying process, taxes and fees differ in each country, so take local legal advice before you commit.
Do I have to travel to buy?
Not always. Many buyers shortlist online, view homes by video call and let a local lawyer handle the paperwork, then visit once before completion or at handover.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident?
Some lenders in the UK, Spain and France lend to overseas buyers, usually with a larger deposit than for local residents. A Decision in Principle shows what may be possible before you start making offers.
What currency are prices in?
Agents list prices in the local currency (pounds sterling in the UK, euros in Spain and France), and you can choose another currency to display prices in.
Can I search in Arabic?
Yes. Switch the site to Arabic at any time; listings, filters and guides are available in both languages.
If you market property in the UK, Spain or France and want to reach buyers and tenants in the Gulf, you can register as an agent or developer and list your properties on Sakan.com.
