Lack of Knowledge! Always makes me laugh to see agents try to justify their trade. I've been writing about and visiting Morocco for over ten years and have contacts accross the spectrum. These are the facts, plainly put so Andyk2 can understand. For your information I speak fluent French and went to the Agencie Urbaine in Tanger to find out for myself as everything I was reading was so contradictory. Anyone can do it and you'll see the facts in black and white:
1) Royal Asilah has been withdrwn from the market and amny purchasers were switched to Paradise Beach (which has licenses)
2) Asilah Marina Golf sign has beentaken down and the plans are back for consideration as the density at which they first proposed to build was illegal.
3) No agents have been appointed by Emaar yet to sell Tinja. Hamptons will be selling it as they are owned by Emaar.
4) Real Estate agents frequently claim to have access to projects that they can't deliver. It's an age old "sales" technique used to flush out over eager buyers. It's illegal to advertise non-existent properties but these rules don't apply to emerging markets.
5) Call Simon at Casablanca yourself and ask him. I was informed by a spanish agent and a moroccan company that this was the case.

Plus two good things to remember when buying overseas - as told by Amanda Lamb on Place in the Sun:
Buy quality as its easier to resell.
Use local specialists as they know the market.

Just because its simple doesn't mean that knowledge is lacking.

If I use strong words it's just because I want to cut through the smoke and mirrors that forum anonnimity grants.
