I think this a true refection of what this charge could be as these charges have been caculated in egypt by an egyption company and i am sure they will still make a heathly profit
Just seen an ad for new development due to be ready 2009/10 which is asking for £800 annual maint fee for a 1 bedroom apartment in Hurghada - is this realistic - seems to be based on a percentage of the apartment cost, which is expensive for Hurghada.
