Expert guides for foreign buyers and property investors: legal verification, transaction procedures, associated costs, and district selection.
An overview of Egyptian legal regulations for international buyers: baseline regime under Law No. 230/1996, special rules for Hurghada tourism areas, conveyancing steps, property residency criteria, and essential legal due diligence checks.
A detailed analysis of transaction costs when buying real estate in Egypt: official statutory taxes and registration fees, 2.5% real estate disposal tax under Law No. 151/2026, market benchmarks for legal due diligence, brokerage commissions, utility connections, and maintenance reserves.
A comparative analysis of key residential neighborhoods in Hurghada: urban layout characteristics, beach access options, local amenities, housing types, and practical utility verification advice before buying.
Compare two specific units rather than two listing labels: layout, contract, beach and facility rights, compound rules, recurring costs and resale conditions.
“Private beach” can describe several arrangements. Verify the document, beach owner and operator, access card, fees, tenant and guest rules, and transfer on resale.
Compare the full path to a usable home—not only the asking price: handover timing, remaining payments, finishing, furniture, service charges, likely repairs and what is actually included.
Walk through the exact unit with a prepared checklist, photograph defects and record them in writing before you confirm acceptance.
The listing price is not the full cost of ownership. Ask for the current property-specific schedule, inclusions, billing frequency and the seller’s stated paid-through date.
Confirm that the actual unit matches the listing and use the same checklist to compare condition, building quality and likely extra costs.
Compare the same written scope, itemized quote, material specifications, exclusions, payment milestones and change-order process—not one total number alone.
