Safe Real Estate Transaction in Hurghada
How to Ensure a Safe Property Purchase in Hurghada (Fraud Prevention Guide)
Every year, a small number of foreign investors in the Hurghada market fall victim to fraudulent or substandard property transactions. However, with the right precautions, Hurghada real estate is among the safest emerging market investments in the world. Here’s how to protect yourself.
The 5 Pillars of a Safe Hurghada Property Transaction
1. Work with a licensed, verifiable broker Always work with a registered real estate agency. Check that the agency is listed with Egypt’s Real Estate Regulation and Brokerage Authority.
2. Demand Green Contract documentation Never purchase a property that is not eligible for Green Contract registration. All MAMO Property listings are Green Contract-eligible.
3. Make all payments to official bank accounts Transfer money only to the developer’s registered corporate bank account. Request official payment receipts for every transfer.
4. Get independent legal advice Engage a separate Egyptian real estate lawyer (not provided by the same agent who’s selling you the property) to review all contracts.
5. Verify on-site (if possible) Before committing to a large purchase, visit the property in person or request a live video tour with the MAMO team who will verify the property’s physical condition.
