According to a recent survey by Al Rayan Bank, a significant one-third of 150 high-net-worth individuals from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE acquired luxury properties in London over the past year. Robinson remarked, "The vibrant real estate market in London, coupled with its rich cultural scene and exceptional amenities, continues to draw interest from GCC residents seeking premium properties."
