How to Buy an Apartment in Hurghada from the UK — Full Guide 2025
Buying an apartment in Hurghada from the UK is straightforward — and many British buyers complete their entire purchase without setting foot in Egypt. This step-by-step guide covers everything from choosing a property to receiving your Title Deed.
Why UK Buyers Are Choosing Hurghada
Since Brexit restricted EU access to 90 days, Egypt has emerged as the leading alternative warm-weather destination for British buyers. No 90-day rule, 5-hour direct flights from multiple UK airports, properties from £15,000, and rental yields of 7–12% make Hurghada an increasingly attractive proposition.

Step 2 — Power of Attorney
If purchasing remotely, you will need a Power of Attorney (POA) authorising a representative in Egypt to sign contracts on your behalf. The POA can be arranged through an Egyptian consulate in the UK. There are Egyptian consulates in London (Mayfair), Manchester, and Edinburgh. Cost: approximately £200–£350. Process takes 1–2 weeks.
Step 3 — Independent Lawyer
We strongly recommend using an independent Egyptian lawyer to review the developer contract, check the Title Deed chain, and confirm building licences are in order. This typically costs £500–£1,000. We can refer you to English-speaking lawyers in Hurghada.
Step 4 — Reservation and Deposit
Pay a small reservation deposit (typically £500–£2,000) to hold the property while contracts are prepared. This is fully deducted from the purchase price. The reservation is usually refundable if the contract review reveals problems.
Step 5 — Sign Contract and Pay Down Payment
Once your lawyer has approved the contract, sign (via POA if remote) and pay the agreed down payment (10–30%). Funds can be transferred by international bank transfer. Keep all records.
Step 6 — Monthly Instalments
Pay your monthly instalments per the agreed schedule. All plans are 0% interest. Most developers provide monthly statements and WhatsApp reminders.
Step 7 — Receive Your Title Deed
On completion and full payment, your freehold Title Deed is registered in your name. It will be couriered to your UK address. Congratulations — you own property in Egypt.
