Yes thank you - I pm'd you already so thanks for your help with that.
Hopefully people thinking about buying will make sure they use a lawyer who is regulated by the UK Law Society. If our Lawyer had been a member of the UK LS he would have been regulated by them. As he isnt then basically he can practice Egyptian Law in the Uk unregulated if that makes sense.... I will give the agent til friday as I served a 7 day final notice on them which ends Friday and they have assured me they will have the matter resolved by then (which i seriously doubt!) After that I will contact Hamdy el Sawy and hopefully he will be able to help! Thanks again! Sue
