Why Invest in Egypt Property?

Property investors today seek emerging markets such as Egypt for a stable investment with good growth rates. Learn below why Egypt property offers such great potential.

Today, investors seek the stability and simplicity of the property market to gain good returns on investment. Under-performing stock markets are often proving more volatile than property and this is especially true for the non-professional as there are many external factors that can effect your financial investment. Did you know that 50% of the members of The Times Rich List made their money through investing in property?

The benefit of buying specifically for investment purposes is the removal of emotion from your purchase while property is used purely as an investment vehicle. Egypt offers many possibilities in the form of re-assignable off-plan contract options to sell at a substantial profit prior to completion, or "buy-to-let" situations to generate reliable rental income and eventually substantial capital appreciation.

Main Reasons Why Egypt is a Desirable Investment Location:
- Low property prices starting at around only £30k
- Steady year-on-year capital appreciation of between 20-30%
- Beautiful, well established tourist hotspots suitable for varied tourist interests, from excellent diving and snorkeling to cultural and historical locations
- Stunning natural, unspoilt landscapes
- Steady annual growth in tourist figures
- Less property taxes than paid in the UK
- No capital gains tax

- Foreign investors are regarded by the government as a big investment opportunity and laws have recently streamlined procedures, making the purchase procedure easy.
