Trusted Property Developer, Lawyer needed, Hurghada

[mgsteveb]

Hi All.

I signed 3 copies of a contract for 2 apartments with a Lawyer in Hurghada in June this year. Despite repeated requests for a copy of the contract from the Lawyer and the Sales Agent I have not received one.

I paid £980 for connection of electricity/water in June as well. After research it appears this charge is questionable. I asked the lawyer and sales agent for an explanation but they did not give me one.

Three weeks later I was asked to pay £1500 for electric from the hall to the apartments. I questioned this as the contract stated it was the builder’s responsibility.

The Sales Agent has since stopped communication and the Lawyer is demanding £1200 for the registration.

Is there one honest person in Hurghada that can help?

I think I would consider flying over to Egypt to speak to some of these people in person even if only to bang some heads together..

980 pounds to connect electricity and water??? That's insane.

You have been scammed.

Paying £980 for connection of electricity/water alone is one of the signs that you have been scammed.

How much would it cost to have electric meter fitted by goverment ?

Is this at GEORGE BUILDING ? Well I will never ever trust anyone in anything , I will be going to sign and rent an apartment in January so when in March or April I will move I will do it through a lawyer and will go to the Government offices to be sure that it is all legal.
I have been comunicating with a lady from George Building in Hurghada her name is Monika George where she says that she is the owner . I will not pay her a penny unless everything is 1000% legal .
I will go look at it first and then see what .I learned one thing in my life not to trust any one even not my wife ....... I moved to Lebanon from the USA and have been scammed so many times. I will never ever trust an Arab , Even though I am one of them , I grew in the USA and learned honesty , where in the middle east bunch of thieves , I have lost over $30.000.00 in the last 2 years and still get scammed , Here is the land of scammers , thieves where you can't trust anyone , sometimes you think that you can't even trust your self ...
Be careful , go fight the hell out of them and get your money back . Egypt is not that expensive to hook up Electricity and other services other wise 80% of the poor population will have no electricity or water .
Careful my friend , Hate when someone steels a penny from me .
Hope that you will resolve it soon and kick there arses real bad.

Cost for electric meter

Hi

Whats the problem - we had electric meters fitted by the electric company for about £50 each, for the whole building. May cost more as a one off.

The problem for you may be that you will not be allowed to get access to the mains supply if you do not have full proof of your ownership of your apartment, or if the developer will not grant access to the mains supply.
