Where have you bought in Egypt and why

[paddywin]

hey swim...not exactly the answer i was looking for...thought this site was for swapping info to help each other out and inform people if there are any problems with investment properties, builders, agents etc...had a quick look at your earlier posts and at first you are seemingly very excited about your purchase and praising sahl hasheesh(veranda) as the best possible investment you could make in your lifetime, and i quote "you will be the proud owner of a place in the most sought after area in egypt" surrounded by lagoons, golf courses etc.etc.etc... and in the last few posts you its a complete about turn attitude saying there is nothing in it, no nightlife, bars,restaurants and hurghada is a better investment.....what happened to your apt in sahl?...did you pull out for some reason?...or are you perhaps (as you described someone else on here) " an agent in disguise" and have moved your interest from sahl to hurghada?...would hate to think your short and uninformative answer was anything to do with the fact that my name is paddy an obviously irish?....let us know....thanks...paddy the irishman

hi cuerdley...I just wondered if maybe you heard anything back from swim maestro about sahl hashees and any problems he might have encountered..he kinda dropped a hint that he did have probs with his CAPITAL's answer to your first post to him...I asked him the same question and got a short and sweet "at the end of the day its up to you"...not really the answer i was looking for but thought he might have given you some more info?...lets know...cheers...paddy

Hi Paddy, Top of the morning to you (oops it's evening, oh well better late than never LOL) I'm sorry you have been offended by comments that swim posted. Unfortunately, this does happen to most of us at some time or other. Just pick yourself, dust yourself off and carry on, please do not allow this type of reaction/comment prevent you from posting on the forum. I'm sure you've already sussed out that the majority of us are friendly, informative people and love sharing our experiences, both good and not so good, on to others via this forum. It's just a shame that occasionally we do come across people that seem to thrive on upsetting others.

Hi paddywin - sincere apologies for not getting back to you sooner. I received a PM from swim and it appears he is becoming frustrated with the slow progress in Sahl Hasheesh.
I was in Sahl Hasheesh earlier this month and purchased a property there. I really hope that it turns out to be as good as we all expect it to be because it is a stunning location.

Hi guys when does anything move quickly in Egypt Sahl Hasheesh will take a few years to complete and is behind schedule but look at the size of the project. It must be a Project Managers nightmare, property investment should always be viewed as medium to long term, i would say the latter for Sahl Hasheesh. However, when it is finished and as long as it is finished to the standards they are saying then WOW how good will be be.

I think once the first golf course is ready and you can see the striking colours between the sand and the grass it will look amazing, just like El Gouna. Keep your chin up (and the other one) and just think ahead.

hey cuerdley...i would'nt be worrying about your apt in sahl, i have been there a few times since they started building, ok they are a little slow but it is a huge development ...but i have to say its such a fabulous setting and when the place is finished it will be stunning...i have heard it being refered to as "little dubai" so that cant be bad lol....and recently i'v heard that tiger woods is to sign off on one of the golf courses there...dont know how true that is as he has never signed off on a golf course anywhere else in the world but would'nt it be a nice little cherrie on the cake lol......chin up..paddy

Anyone here bought in these?

[queenie40something]

Hi no not on those but just down the road on Sierra resort which is next to Jasmine centre and opposite Magic Club Life hotel. We had our handover last summer and the apartment has now been registered in the courts with all the appropriate stamps etc.

I do personally know a few people that have bought villas and live full time on Sharm Residence - Pete and his family have a villa there and they own St Georges Bar at Jasmine Centre and are a lovely family.
