What You'll Learn

This report provides original insights to brokers interested in working with GCC clients. It uses search data provided by Rightmove for Nomo. It identifies three key themes:

1. There is a strong and growing GCC appetite for UK property. GCC customers continue to see the UK as an attractive market for both holiday homes and buy‑to‑let investments, driven by buoyant GCC economies and the expectation of UK interest rate cuts in 2025.

2. Clear regional preferences shaped by perceived value are emerging. Searches are dominated by buyers in the UAE, followed by Saudi Arabia and Qatar, with London, the North West, and Scotland emerging as the most popular locations. GCC buyers remain value‑focused, responding to competitive pricing and anticipated UK property value growth.

3. There has been strong demand from Qataris residents for a range of properties in the UK, both inside London and further across England.

Here are a few examples of cases we've seen in 2025.
