Default Property Registration

Alison's comments are spot on. I work with Resort Alliance, the promoters of Sahl Hasheesh. Here the Developers have a master plan showing proof of ownership of the entire 32 million m2; each plot has been mapped and given a number and each Developer purchasing land has to submit a project for approval, first to the Egyptian Resort Company who own the land and subsequently to the local authority for planning approval.

Once this is granted there is a system of inspection and a final check that everything has been built according to plan. At this point the Developer will go with the purchaser to the Notary in Hurghada and register the purchase. The cost of this is around 350 GBP.

This is a workaround as Egypt does not have a formal land registry system at the moment.
