Hello Nigel

Yes we have found our way to this forum. It is very informative and we hope to get to know our new neighbours (and maybe fellow forum members) a bit in this way. We saw the newly added pictures of the construction progress!! great!! Do you have more pics? as you can imagine we are pretty excited to see more

Awaiting updated photos - but I do have an updated roof layout - I've extended the communal area so that it overlooks the pool now.

hello Nigel,

Guess which apartment is getting done first !

That's right - it's mine - on the ground floor - the attached photo does not show very much but it's a start

- I should be getting more over the next few weeks.

Basically we will complete the interiors from the bottom up but may leave the odd unsold unit to make sure that all the sold ones are completed on-time.

Hi Nigel,

Never would have guessed they would start with you're apartment

I am looking forward to see how the completion of the interior progresses

cheers Manon

He provided all details of people who had already purchased so we could contact them if we wanted, which we did. At no time were we under any pressure to part with our money quickley without 1st checking out all the paperwork, when we decided we wanted to reserve our apartment, we only had to put £100 deposit, refundable if we didnt go ahead and was then allowed time to visit the plot before paying a further £1000 deposit which should have been paid within 6 weeks as were had decided to pay in full to get the best discount. We arranged to go to Hurghada for a week just before xmas as nigel and another couple were to be there at the same time and it was hoped we could meet the other couple. We were met at the airport by nigel, his wife, Sammi his egyptian partner and the builder, it was a lovely gesture with them all meeting us, sammi drove us to our hotel whilst nigel stayed at the airport with the builder to meet the other family arriving a bit later.
After a couple of days in the hotel to settle in, Sammi & Nigel came to the hotel to take us to meet our solicitors as we hadnt a clue where we were going never having been to Hurghada before and after our meeting we were taken to the site to check out the area and see the building.
Nigel & Sammi have been very helpful throughout our buying process, we did have a problem with the solicitors we chose but with Sammi speaking to them in Arabic we managed to get it sorted out. Nigel has always made us feel comfortable with the way he helps even when he doesnt need to and to keeping us informed with newsletter emails.
We finalised our purchase in January this year and bought a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom with 3 balconies on the 2nd floor and also a private section of roof terrace and the price we paid was just over £39,000. We have held back 2% of the purchase price to be paid 8 weeks after completion which should take place in December this year.
Overall, we would have no qualms in reccomending purchasing an apartment from Nigel & Sammi and naturally, like everyone else looking forward to receiving the keys to our apartment in December.

Hello Nigel,

We have seen the furniture packages on the website. We are very pleased with the two bedroom packages. In addition to our earlier quote request, is it possible to have a quote and item list for the second bedroom to?

Do you have the measurements of the beds?

Thanks in advance,

Leo and Manon

The standard bed size in Hurghada seems to be a bit bigger than the standard double in the UK.

The ones we are looking to provide are about:

- "king" size bed 1.8m by 2m
