In Sahl Hasheesh the land was purchased by the Egyptian Resort Company and a town planning consultant from the UK was brought in to draw up the Master Plan. Every plot was then sold and plans were then submitted to the ERC and then to the local council for approval. There is then a system of checking to ensure building is in line with the consent given. The final receipt for the property is then registered with the local authority and Notarised at a cost of around 250k sterling (2500 Egyptian).
This seems to be a good workaround in the absence of a formal registration authority; what do others think of this?

Hi Peter,
Having reserved an apartment at Veranda in Sahl I was interested to read this post!! Am I right in thinking that purchases in Sahl should be 'safer choices' because all these checks have been put in place? I have perceived this as if the developer does not deliver what he has said he would ERC won't sign over the final receipt for the land? Surely this will ensure all projects are delivered as specified?
