Hi all
Thank you for this very useful forum. Myself and family (2 adults + 2 children, GC 15, non US payroll, based currently in London) are about to relocate to KSA in 1.5 months time. Despite several attempts i cant get anything specific regarding housing from my Reloc Advisor. Best i got was that i will know 1 week before my flight... Great, who doesn't like surprises i guess?
- Does anyone have any recent experience on the accommodation situation, given the new policy? Any views on what i should expect?
- Are there enough spaces in the non-aramco compounds for newcomers? (Someone told me that getting a decent house even in the external compounds is very tricky due to limited supply)
Any advice / comments would be very much appreciated

I am travelling from the UK too in a month (single). From the posts and speaking to my RO it seems that finding out about your accommodation is a last minute thing ie notification a week before departure. For those with families there have been recent posts with varying experiences with regards to accommodation. Vpainter has given a list of contacts for accommodation outside the compound. It might be an idea to make your introductions and enquiries with them now so that if it's worst case scenario for you and your family you'll have started the ball rolling to get yourselves situated. All the best.
