Buy House in Brunei

Brunei Darussalam is a calm, affluent sultanate on Borneo. Daily life centers on Bandar Seri Begawan, while Seria and Kuala Belait serve the oil & gas community. It’s equatorial and rainy, so homes with good ventilation, covered carports, and generous living areas are prized. Amenities cluster in low-rise neighborhoods like Gadong, Kiulap, Kiarong, and Berakas.

The housing stock is mainly landed (terrace, semi-detached, bungalow) with a smaller share of modern apartments. The rental market is active with typical 1–2-year leases, 1–2 months’ deposit, and utilities paid separately; some compounds offer pools and security. Foreign ownership is limited and subject to approvals, so many expats rent. Family-friendly picks include Kiarong, Berakas, and Gadong; for oil & gas staff, Seria and Kuala Belait are convenient.
