Hi Tony we have bought 40A2.

No hassle as we are all here to help each other so dont worry.
Any other Sierra buyers will have put a post on this thread so this is where you will find other purchasers on Sierra. A thread is a topic relating to something such as Sharm and all posts are made within that certain thread.
Here is a link to some info about using the site that you may find useful http://www.propertycommunity.com/forum/faq.p..._read_and_post
You can search for a certain thread or post. On the front page under the page numbers on the right hand side you will see Search This Forum - click on this and write in what you are looking for eg Sierra and you can choose to either search threads for Sierra or posts for Sierra - hope this makes sense.
When you post there is an option to post a quick reply as well as a longer one. Im sure you will get used to it. But please ask anything you dont understand.

As for El Tor - this is a place that is about an hours drive away from Sharm. The passport and government notary offices are based here. I went to the passport office to get my multi entry visa and residents visa. Without these you cannot give Power of Attorney to your lawyer which is needed to register in the Cairo Courts. Once you have been to the passport office you then take your passport to the government office where they issue POA which you pass onto your lawyer. I believe this can be done in the UK but you would need to ask Zeiad ( Egyptian lawyer ). You can post any legal questions here http://www.propertycommunity.com/forum/egypt...rty-egypt.html and Zeiad will answer them for you.

Hope this helps

Regards

Alison
