Nomo Launches Expanded Property Finance Offering for GCC Residents

At Nomo, we continue to see strong demand from Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC)[1] residents investing in UK residential property. This has been accompanied by a clear shift towards more structured and professional investment strategies. In response to this evolving demand, we have recently reduced rates across our full Property Finance range and launched a new Portfolio Landlord proposition.

For the first time, Nomo is now available for portfolio landlords with between four and ten properties, offering Sharia’a-compliant financing of up to £2 million per property, with two- or five-year fixed rates. We have also introduced improved pricing tiers for High Net Worth clients, supporting larger facilities of up to £5 million.

These product launches come at a time when GCC residents continue to be drawn to UK residential property. Nomo’s recently published research, The Evolving Gulf Buyer: Why GCC Demand for UK Homes is Becoming More Strategic[2], using data from property search portal Rightmove, and insights from the bank’s broker network, found that GCC residents are increasingly adopting a more strategic approach to UK residential property investment.

A key finding of the research is the accelerating use of limited company structures, among Gulf buyers and in particular, Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs). This shift reflects the continued professionalisation of the UK buy-to-let market and is supported by wider data from 2Europe, which recorded a 23% increase in SPVs registered in 2024/25.[3] These purchases are overwhelmingly broker-led, underlining the vital role intermediaries play in structuring and managing increasingly complex cross-border transactions.

For many GCC residents, SPVs offer clearer governance, improved tax efficiency and a stronger UK financial footprint. This helps to streamline due diligence and engagement with UK property finance providers. With demand expected to grow further in 2026, Nomo’s expanded proposition is designed to support this evolution, enabling Gulf buyers to access competitive, Sharia’a-compliant property finance solutions.
