The building owner is Egyptian-American and he has taken every step to take care of the construction process to see that the quality of the building is very high. Additionally, he is taking the effort to be selective in the tenants which will have shoppes at the street level of the building.

The building is located in the town area and is just a short distance to the beach. (about 5 minutes walking). The building is located right on the corner of two streets and it will
have shops on the street level. At street level you can sit in the cafe, enjoy a cappuccino, smoke some sheesha, get something to eat or just enjoy watching the passers by,

The apartments are located on the upper floors. This property is basically "off-plan" since selling of the units is done as the building is being completed. Many people like this since it means they're getting a substantially reduced price, just 14000 Euros for a one bedroom unit and a 18000 Euros for a 2 bedroom unit.
This is a common way to buy in many places of the world, it works well and the Egyptian government does closely control and monitor these types of transactions in order to see that everything is legal and done according to the way it is supposed to be. You are able to own the property freehold and you can keep it forever, sell it, rent it, live in it or do whatever you might desire.

Some people might not be familiar with purchasing an off plan property but it is commonly done in Egypt and the process of purchasing this way works quite nicely so these apartments and shoppes will be sold and let in the traditional off plan contract for sale.

Buying off plan give you the chance to have a very special pricing on the apartment and then the interior is finished at additional cost. Interior finishing for a 1 bedroom unit is 8,000 Euros and finishing for the 2 bedroom unit is $10,500 Euros.
Some people prefer to finish it themselves, especially those that are local to the area. Many times foreigners want the apartments to be completed and we're happy to provide the finishing of the units if you desire that.

Our finishing packages will bring the apartments to American style finishing with nice bathroom fixtures, full shower and bath, kitchen with cabinets and a wardrobe closet for storage in the bedroom.
With our finishing packages, standard tile flooring will be added and the interior walls will be painted in neutral colors. Of course if you want a certain color theme we will be most happy to make it to your request.

With our finishing packages, just add furniture and you'll be ready to move in. Refrigerator and stove is not included in the finishing pricing, most people prefer to select one of their own choosing. Of course we can help you with these appliances and well as furniture if you need help.

The building will have an on site manager so there will always be someone around to help you with whatever you might need. Sometimes people buy the apartments for their own use and other times they are looking to get them as investment purposes.

As investments go, this is a great one as the apartments in Marsa Alam are in heavy demand. There are not many apartments there and this is an absolutely gorgeous place to spend some time. It's quiet there and a great place for those that want to get away from it all and enjoy life a little on the relaxed side of things.
If you're wanting to rent the place while not using it personally, there is a big rental market there for apartments and you would find it quite easy to have it rented whenever you like. Management companies are readily available to help with taking care of your guests while you're abroad.

payment is due at contract signing. The amount due for the first payment is 40% of the purchase price. The remaining 60% is payable according to the finishing time you request.

Five Things to Consider When Buying Property in Egypt

International Property often makes a great investment. The likelihood of your investment appreciating in value over the next 5 to 10 years is pretty good, if past performance is anything to go by. Something that we are seeing more and more when it comes to property investments are holiday properties, rental properties and second home properties abroad. Buying property abroad allows an investor to maximize his or her investment potential by purchasing property in up and coming areas and areas with a high volume of tourism.

One of the most popular places to buy such property is in Egypt. Why? Like most other countries, Egypt is experiencing a much smaller decline in their housing market than that of most other areas but still they too are feeling the hit of the economic times. These days, sales are down and there are plenty of properties to choose from. This means that you can buy virtually any property you want for a bargain price. The culture, allure and beauty that have always been an integral part of Egypt are still there. But now you can buy a piece of it for a fraction of the cost than you could in years past. Throughout Egypt, there are apartment homes for sale and properties to purchase. Choose from the city life in Cairo or Alexandria or choose the beach life of the Red Sea area in Egypt. Red Sea city life is different than the rest of Egypt. Red Sea Egypt property owners always say the sun shines every day 365 days of the year. It makes a nice place to own an apartment near to the sea and owning property by the beach in EGypt.

Egyptian Property: 5 Things to Consider

Whenever you buy any type of holiday property whether it be in Egypt or some other exotic location, you will have many considerations that you will need to make. You should never buy a property in Egypt without weighing the pros and cons. Here are some things you should consider:

• Location – Location is everything. Egypt is experiencing a decline in the housing market, but some places are harder hit than others. Try to choose a property in an area that will recover quickly once the downturn is over. Areas that are holding their own in spite of current market challenges are the best places to start. The Red Sea area is one such place, anywhere along the Red Sea are well established destinations with good signs of growth potential on Egypt real estate investing.

• Use – How will you use the property? Will it be used as a second income, as a holiday home or both? If you plan to sublet it, will you hire a management company to take care of the details?

• Affordability – You should be absolutely certain that you can afford all of the costs associated with the property without the extra income from a tenant. After all, you might not be able to secure a tenant right away or at all. You should be prepared for all possibilities.

• Salability – How long do you plan to hold the property? Remember; sales are down in Egypt. If you’re looking for a property that you can buy and sell quickly, you might want to look somewhere else. If you’re looking for a long-term investment, on the other hand, Egyptian property is ideal.

• Laws – Buying property abroad is different than buying property at home. You have to abide by the country’s property laws where the property is located. Some of these laws might be favorable to your situations, some might not be.

Buying property in Egypt is a venture that you should not enter into lightly. Do your homework; study the market. Hire a great agent. Do everything possible to ensure that you get the property you want and the best deal possible.
