Real Estate in Brunei

By Joshua Wood, LPC

Last updated on Feb 02, 2024

Summary: An expat looking to buy a home in Brunei should start by researching the local real estate market. They should look for listings on websites such as PropertyGuru, iProperty, and EdgeProp. They should also consider contacting a local real estate agent for assistance. Foreigners are allowed to purchase property in Brunei, but there are some restrictions. Foreigners are not allowed to purchase land, and they must obtain permission from the Ministry of Home Affairs before purchasing a property. Houses in Brunei typically include amenities such as air conditioning, swimming pools, and gardens. Many homes also have security features such as CCTV cameras and alarm systems.

How do I find a place to live in Brunei?

We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:

"One of the best ways to find a place to live in Brunei is to search online for rental listings. There are many websites that offer listings of apartments, houses, and other types of rental properties in Brunei. Additionally, you can also search for rental listings in local newspapers and classifieds. Additionally, you can also ask friends and family who live in Brunei for recommendations. Finally, you can also contact real estate agents in Brunei who specialize in rental properties," said one person in Brunei.
