Here is our simple step by step guide to buying one of our properties.

The first thing is to choose the right property, this is a big decision so do not rush into anything, we urge you to take as long as you need in this process.

Once you have chosen a suitable property give us a call and talk to us, we are human and also owners in the complex’s we sell in so we have a vast amount of local knowledge and John even lives in Aqua Palms so knows more than most.

Once you are happy with everything now is the time to fill in a reservation form, this is used  by the developer in Egypt to draft your contract so it is a good idea to make it as clear as possible and double check everything as mistakes can delay the buying process.

It is at this stage that you will pay your reservation fee, we can offer advice on the best way to send your payment as all payments are made direct to the developer’s

No agent should ever take payments from you for the property!!

There is now a short wait while the contracts are drawn up in Egypt with 1 side of the contract in English and 1 side in Arabic.

This will then either be sent to you by courier or more than likely emailed over to you to print (this has happened more since the pandemic)

You then need to print 3 copies of the contract and sign and date each and every page on both the buyers side.

The contracts then need to be returned to the developer’s, please do not send these in the post as the Egyptian postal service is very unreliable.

Send your documents via DHL and they will arrive in 3-5 days but usually faster.

Once the developers have received your contract it is then time to send payment for your apartment if paying in full or send the balance of the deposit minus the reservation fee you have already paid.

The developers will then complete the contracts and return 1 fully signed and stamped copy to you.

If your apartment is already completed then all you have to do is arrange a handover either in person or appoint a representaive in Egypt to complete this for you (We can help with this if needed)

It is during the handover that if there are any issues that need to be rectified you should raise this with the developer.

If you have bought off-plan you just need to wait until your apartment is completed and then follow the above process.

We are with you every step of the way with both staff in the UK and on the ground in Egypt and once you have taken possession of your apartment we can help with a range of services from helping you to furnish your apartment to help with renting it and key holding services.

If you can it is worth a trip out to Hurghada so you can view as many properties as possible and get a feel for the place, we can arrange an apartment for you to stay in for your visit.

We hope we have covered most things above but if you have any other questions please do not hesitate to contact us.
