I bought an apartment in block 3. The licence was issued on 11/9/2007. When signing up in August I was not told about the delay in the licences however my solicitors didn't pass on my deposit until the licences were issued. I was told that the constuction would start in Oct and that another 20% would be due. I far as I can ascertain contruction has not started.
Not too worried about the delay as this seems normal for all developments. (Regardless of location)
Hope to travel to Saidia for a few days in the new year so I can see the progress for myself.
