Engine Works Park is now open to Gulf investors. From this week, families, offices and asset managers across Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain and Oman can speak directly with Mohammed Alnassar, who joins us as Middle East Investor Relations lead.
Why we’re going east
For a Gulf investor, the maths on UK commercial property has rarely looked better. Sterling sits near multi-decade lows against the Riyal, Dirham and Dinar — your money buys more building today than it has in a generation. UK yields have repriced after the 2023 rate shock to attractive levels, and the Bank of England’s cutting cycle is now in motion, which makes fixed-rent income from a building like Engine Works Park look stronger by the month.
Combine that with the things UK commercial property has always offered — freehold title under English law, transparent registry, no foreign-ownership restrictions, and a legal system that has protected wealth here for 800 years — and the case is made before you’ve left London.
A Gulf-native voice in London
Mohammed isn’t an outsider. Born in Kuwait, based in London, twenty-five years working between the City and Riyadh — he bridges both sides natively.
“I know what UK property can do for a family in the Gulf or the wider Middle East, because I’ve watched it work for my own. My job at Yeats is to make sure investors understand exactly what they’re buying, exactly how it earns, and exactly how they exit. No noise, no pressure.”
— Mohammed Alnassar, Middle East Investor Relations
Mohammed travels the region regularly and meets investors on their own ground — Riyadh, Jeddah, Khobar, Kuwait City, Dubai, Doha. He responds within one business day, in English or Arabic.

The bigger picture: Margate is moving
Margate sits in East Kent, the most actively developing corner of the South East. Thousands of new homes are being built across Thanet over the next decade. Westwood Cross — five minutes from the scheme — is the busiest shopping and retail centre in the county. Same-day road access to France, Belgium, the Netherlands and the wider EU sits half an hour away through the Channel Tunnel. London is closer than the suburbs of Riyadh feel from each other. This is not a quiet town in the countryside. It is a stretch of England that the UK government, the rail operators, and Britain’s largest housebuilders have all bet on — and that bet is being paid down today, in cranes and concrete.
