Thanks for the business, Jeremy.
No, it's not in there as it's not a very high profile development and I didn't come across it while I was over there.
The developers should actually be quite glad that I didn't mention it as I'm sorry to say that I wouldn't have been terribly complementary about it.
The first I heard about it was when I was talking about the book with one of the agents who has done her homework and knows the market in Hurghada well. She asked me if Hurghada Village was there and I said no. She then went on to use it as an example about how terrible it is that some agents sell projects that they know nothing about and where details are really sketchy. The first thing that she mentioned about it was it being on a dual carriageway next to a Shell garage.
Exactly the same points were made on the discussion on this forum about the development.
Are the sea views guaranteed according to the contract? I can't see how they can be as there appears to be an empty building plot between the development and the sea which I can't believe will stay empty for long.
I'm sorry if you're already committed to buying there. Personally I think that, for the same budget, you would have been better off buying in Suleder or Red Sea Pharaoh just a litte bit north or, if you could increase your budget by a grand, then Lotus Breeze would have been a better choice.
