The Location

Marsa Alam is located in the south of the Egyptian Riviera on the Red Sea approximately 300km south of Hurghada.  The popularity of the region as a diving destination led to the construction of the Marsa Alam International Airport 65km north of the town itself.  Construction  is currently underway on an extension to this teminal in order to handle the increased tourist inflow into the now easily accessible area.  With direct flights from London and many other European destinations now available, the area is seeing an explosion in tourism growth and development to cater for these tourists.

Breakdown of payments and procedure

As this development is currently at the pre-launch stage investors will have the opportunity to take out an option on an apartment by placing a €1500 fully refundable deposit.  This will allow the investor to get the best apartment there is available once the development is officially released and also to take advantage of the discounted pre-launch pricing. In order to place an option investors will need to follow this process:

  1. Fill out a reservation form containing their name, contact numbers, address, e-mail address and type of apartment (i.e. garden, middle or penhouse).
  2. Investors will be required to transer the amount of €1500 to the escrow account, details of which are contained on the reservation document.
  3. Investors will need to return the signed reservation form, a copy of their passport and a recent utility bill to the agent.
  4. The option will be placed ONLY when the funds are receipted into escrow and the order which funds are received will  determine the order which investors will choose their apartment. Therefore, the quicker the money is sent, the higher up the list the investor will be placed and subsequently the better choice of apartment they will have.
  5. Investors will be placed on a waiting list based on their apartment preference and the time the funds show in escrow.
  6. The project will be officially launchd no later than the end of February 2008.
  7. Seven days before the launch, those who have pre-reserved will be sent the full details including site map and location of individual apartments.
  8. A call will also be scheduled in a 15 min window in seven days time where the investors will be individually called by a representative of the developer and asked for their decision on whether they are going ahead and which apartment they wish to reserve.
  9. The developer will take all reasonable measures to contact the investor during the 15 minute wndow but if for any reason the investor is unable to take the call then they will be moved further down the list.
  10. Should the investor not wish to proceed then they will be sent a form to fill out where they will provide account details for refund and give IPI written confirmation of cancellation.
  11. Should the investor wish to proceed, contacts will be prepared immediately and sent.  The client will then have a period of 14 days to complete the purchase and pay the balance into escrow.  Should the client not complete by this time then they will be subject to the increased price.
