Number of Saudis seeking property ownership ‘exceeding expectations’: REGA Governor

RIYADH: Requests for property ownership in Saudi Arabia exceeded expectations, with about half a million requests being received on Ehkaam electronic platform so far, Real Estate General Authority (REGA) Governor, Ihsan Bafakih revealed today.

Ehkaam is an electronic platform launched by the Authority in December 2020, to receive requests for ownership and change of properties.

“There are areas that are very crowded with requests, such as Makkah, Al Madina and Asir,” Bafakih said in an interview on Al Arabiya.

Those requests are studied by a number of committees, he said.
