This agreement signifies a new era in property investment in Oman and is the first agreement of its kind that allows expatriates to purchase their own property in the Sultanate

The mortgage facilities available will provide superior solutions for Omani nationals, GCC nationals and expatriates. Omanis can receive a mortgage of up to 90% over a maximum of 25 years whilst GCC nationals can finance up to 70% over the same period. Expatriates can apply for a mortgage of up to 60% over a period of 15 years.

Statistics from Phase 1 of the Wave, Muscat residential sales indicate that Omanis still represent the largest group of customers closely followed by expatriates living in Oman, whilst expatriates living outside of Oman still represent a small percentage of overall sales.

Mr. Ali Hassan Moosa, Deputy GM of Alliance Housing Bank said:

"This is a fantastic opportunity for Alliance Housing Bank to work with The Wave, Muscat to provide mortgage solutions to investors at this exclusive development. This eagerly anticipated agreement will also allow the expatriates looking to invest in Oman to own property in this prestigious integrated tourism project."


Wael Al Lawati, Deputy CEO of the Wave said: "We intend to open up opportunities for both local and expatriate property investors. The timing, in my opinion, is just right as the world's attention now focuses on the Sultanate, where real-estate and property development is experiencing tremendous growth."

On offer to both Omani nationals and expatriates; the homes at The Wave, Muscat will comprise of luxury apartments, townhouses, as well as garden, waterfront and beachfront villas. Designed to reflect the aspiration and purpose of the developers, the homes will ensure stylish and practical living.
