To everyone on the forum, I have now officially ended my employment with SPS, the egytptian master agent for Veranda. I am now freelance again in Hurghada. If anyone has any questions on Veranda, and Sahl Hasheesh in general I will be always happy to answer any queries.



kindest regards

Hi Ross and welcome to the forum. I have merged your thread with the existing one on this development. Please can you read the rules of the forum http://www.totallyproperty.com/faq.p...eptableusedesc and here http://www.totallyproperty.com/egypt...use-forum.html and you can become a premium member here http://www.totallyproperty.com/premium-membership.php and refrain from asking forum members to contact you as this is against the rules as you are an agent.

Kind regards

Alison

well by freelance i mean i am on holiday! ie not working at the moment. to the clients who have bought through me and want to get in touch, maybe try face booking me..or getting my email from my profile..of course i am always available and veranda is a very good purchase still.

Please advise.
I've been looking up on forums and seeking advice, on which is going to be the best resort to buy on, out of the following: Paradise Gardens and Veranda. Paradise Gardens is alot closer to the beach, but i was told today by a freelance agent, that Veranda is built to a much higher standard. Not sure if he has a reason for saying this, or if it is the truth. Any ideas anyone??? Also would a one bed give a much better return than a studio? I'm far from rich but would stretch to a one bed if the hype about Sahl Hasheesh is all going to come true. Thanks everyone and anyone who helps.

Hi - at the moment as the 3 threads are all small and refer to Sahl I have merged them altogether. If any specific development expands we will seperate them.

Hi PutneyPJ

I think both look lovely developments, so sure you wouldn't be disappointed with either. The gardens and pools look very nice for both developments. As you say Paradise Gardens is closer to the beach, so if thats important to you I'd go for that one. However, it sounds like Verandah will have fab views of the bay, so if you're after a view I'd consider that. Prices on Paradise Gardens certainly for 1/2 beds were cheaper when I last checked, than Verandah. Also lots of developers claim that their development is being built to a higher standard than anyone elses, but until they've finished the project or unless they can show you something finished, I'd be a bit cautious. Certainly images in many of the glossy brochures produced by developers worldwide do not accurately reflect the finishings you actually get!!
With regard to a studio or 1 bedroom, I certainly would opt for a 1 bed if I could afford it - as it gives you more flexibility. Mind you studios on some developments in Egypt are actually more like an "open plan" one bedroom apartment, with a permanent space for the bed and not like the studios we have in the UK where you have to pull the bed down. I'd be happier to consider a studio if that was the case. As I say, both look stunning and whatever you go for will be great. Hope that helps a bit.

Hello
I think from the off plan designs and layout, you can see that Verdana Designs are much beter than Paradise gardens, its up to you as Paradise Garden has the cheapest units in sahl Hasheesh, and Verdana more expensive so this give you idea, so depends on your budget and how much you can stretch your self for 1 bed unit at the end, but i recommend you to visit both locatioins of both projects, and then decide

Thank you Distant dreamer and also thank you George. I've been considering my budget, and feel that unfortunately a studio is probably my safest bet. Still undecided on which developmentbut i need to decide today i think, as the prices are due to increase. Although you say the Veranda plan is slightly better, do you think that Paradise Gardens location (nearer to the beach), would make the price increase more? for when looking to sell in the future. I've also seen that a developer Superior (Resort Alliance)?, went into Administration which is worrying me a little. And also i've read that along the coast there are loads of developments that are unfinished, due to money running out. Is there much chance of this happening in Sahl Hasheesh? Thanks so much again for the advice.

Hi again,

Superior were the agents who went into administration. They were selling beachfront properties El Andalous, Palm Beach Piazza and Ocean Breeze, marketed through Resort Alliance. Resort Alliance are certainly still in business and ceased working with Superior prior to the problems. All the contracts are direct with the actual developers and not the agents, so no developments in Sahl Hasheesh have been affected by Superior going into administration. Sahl Hasheesh has a master plan for the entire development and work on the infrastructure etc has been going on for many years, prior to most people even hearing of the place. I'm sure there won't be problems like in Hurghada as there are high profile people involved in the development and this would be the last thing they'd want to happen.

I think Paradise Gardens prices went up the other week, not sure about Verandah. Personally I think the closer to the beach the better, thats why I've purchased on El Andalous. If you're considering purchasing on Verandah check where the beach club is as only the frontline developments have their own private beaches, along with the hotels. Everyone else as far as I'm aware will have access to the public beach. Ross who posts on here should be able to answer any questiions as he worked for Verandah until recently.

Regards
