Nomo: Understanding Broker Perspectives in a Shifting Property Landscape

By /

At Nomo, broker relationships are central to our mission of connecting GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) investors with UK property opportunities.[1] Our latest Property Pulse research—offering a quarterly snapshot of GCC demand for UK residential real estate—draws on insights from our trusted broker network to better understand market dynamics.

According to our brokers, several key factors are driving renewed interest from GCC buyers this year. The Bank of England rate cuts in 2025 are boosting demand, making UK property more accessible and attractive. Additionally, brokers expect the predicted positive outlook for UK property values, with a projected 4% increase this year, will reinforce the perception of strong investment potential.[2]

The robust economic performance of the GCC region is also playing a pivotal role. With growth forecast to accelerate to 4.2% in 2025–26, buyers are in a stronger financial position to invest internationally.[3] This economic confidence is translating into heightened interest in both new purchases and refinancing options.

Refinancing activity is also expected to increase. Brokers highlight that as fixed-term mortgage and property finance agreements reach maturity, demand for refinancing is surging. The UK’s interest rate cuts have opened up attractive options, making this an opportune moment for GCC investors to reassess and restructure their portfolios.

Maleesa Mariym, Business Development Manager, Nomo, commented: “Brokers are seeing clear opportunities for GCC residents, and a number of factors have made the UK increasingly attractive this year. We’ve had our busiest year on record and expect the momentum to continue.”

As we look ahead, Nomo remains committed to working closely with our broker partners to unlock value and support GCC clients in navigating the UK property market.
