Hi Paul, the coast near Tiba Resort is good for kite surfing and there is already a small kite surfing school not far away. We took Chris Burke (Pro Kite Surfer) out with us a couple of years ago as he was looking to set his own school up and he surfed down from El Gouna to where Royal Beach...

John, The Egyptian builders/developers would struggle to promote their developments to foreign investors without foreign agents, so if these agents were more diligent on what developments they promoted it would safe guard the investors. This would also put the crooked developers/builders...

Here is recent video hopefully portraying how they now feel :smile: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5D5dO5cn1PQ

Quite the opposite John, the whole industry needs fixing first because if it isn't fixed who are promoters going to promote too, with all the bad press generated by the individuals intent on stealing investors money investors will stay away? We want to eradicate the ones that continue to ruin...

John, the Egyptian Government is taking note of what is happening especially in Hurghada with certain companies, we are in direct contact with Mr Hisham Zazou the Tourism Minister, who has arranged meetings with our lawyers in Cairo and the TDA. The TDA Chairman and their legal team are in...

Hopefully they won't bite this time inshallah :)

Looking to the past the Egyptian people seem to feel safer when under military rule, as long as the leader respects the country and the people without taking advantage as Mubarak did, I think Sisi will stabilise the country. Although I expect there will be some teething issues, as not everyone...

Hi John, you need to look at who is in the market now and who is doing things right, check reviews, ask questions, use forums like this one as they are great for exposing the untrustworthy ones. With these great forums, review sites, Google searches, if you do something wrong someone will write...

Thanks Steve, and I would say there are far more bad or at best average ones out there than good ones, because being a good agent takes time, energy and you don't make as much money because you spend time looking after your clients until they get the keys and beyond rather than vanishing once...

Hi Steve, hence my comments on researching developers and agents!!!

Hi Steve, a lot of what happens in Egypt is strange which is why many people fell foul when the sharks from Spain and other destinations moved in around 2006 and agents were given the wrong information from local lawyers who were in cahoots with the sharks. There are still some sharks over...

Hi Steve, it's not "dodgy" because owners can register if they don't then it is their responsibility. It also comes down to buying on the right development from the right builders and using the right agent (doing research and homework) just like all the developments in Turkey where the owners...

In theory yes, but as they have signed the POA and given it to the buyer if anything was too happen and it went to court the buyer would of course have the legal papers to show they are the legal owners of that apartment.

Hi Steve, I know it is a slow process but it doesn't affect buying, the buying process is very quick and simple and once you have the POA it is just a matter of waiting for the registration process. The problem is nothing is computerised in Egypt, all paperwork is done by hand.

Hi Steve, no it is the buyer that registers if they want to, as I say not many do. The POA given by the landowner/builder gives the buyer the right to register, which they do via a lawyer.

I will leave it because he has asked for areas of the real estate market offer the best value, I would have to name developments and locations to answer so to avoid any slapped wrists I better not.

Registering a property in Egypt is called The Green Contract, and the Green Contract can only be applied for once the whole development has been completed and the land registered by the developer/builder/land owner. Once this has been done each individual purchaser should be given a Power of...

Would it be classed as advertising if I replied?

Hi Veronica, this is why I asked but if you want the forum updated and I have staff in Egypt taking photos that we email to our clients, then it would help the ones that don't get any updates from their agents by being able to see them on here? I don't mind either way, but if you want the...

Am I allowed to put photos of the development on here for all owners/investors to see?
