Thats good news abouth the £150 scare!!....Our trip to London for the Poa went very well............the Notary lawyer was in Buckingham palace rd from there it was down the mall to the Foreign office(after watching changing of the guard at the palace)...we were in the Foreign office for an hour...loads of people there & then off the Egyptian consulate..which is an absolute mare to find but all done now.....we had a great day in London & Stu even got tickets to take me to see grease for my birthday in November....all we needed was Egyptian weather cos it was bloody cold tho

Hi Stuandchelle yes panic over!! Glad all went well yesterday and was relatively painless. Sounds like you had a great day seeing some sights as well. Enjoy Grease in November!
Can I ask you to post the costs involved for the POA etc for fellow purchasers wanted to go down this route.

Thanks
Alison

The lawyer we used charged £60.00...i will post details laters as they are at home & i'm at work...the Foreign office cost £27 & Egyptian consulate £20

Hi - I guess that's better than my local notary who wants £100 just for one stamp cheeky ******!
I'll be shopping around.

Hi guys
We are Anita & Steve and we have bought apartment 53B1
We used a local notary public as we are from the midlands and couldn't find time to get to London at the time
He charged us £200 and that covered everything and we had it all back in 48 hours ready to send to Zeiad - he even gave our contract the once over for us :-)

Plus you saved on the cost of travel etc

Hi Anita that sounds good as normally for a lawyer to give the contract the once over the charge is at least £150.

You're really welcome. I got more enquiries on my email from many clients in Sierra over the same issue, and I told every one the same; there is nothing at all like this, and IN THE EVENT something like this happens in the future (which I really don't expect and hope will never happen) then I will be legally very aggressive on behalf of all my clients who purchased there, but again since the developer has completely deined even the thought of it, I have no reasons to think otherwise.

All the best,

Zeiad Yehia
Solicitor

Thanks Zeiad that puts all our minds at rest.

hi we are in the midlands too what notary did you use and what did they do
