Hi
I have been recommended to start this thread for anyone buying in the Viva Reef Development in Nabq Bay in Sharm. I have just paid the deposit for an apartment there and are awaiting the contracts to check and sign.

Has anyone else bought or are thinking of buying on this development? It will be good for us to compare stories and help each other out. Its also a good introduction for when we get out there and have a sakara by the pool together as owners!!!

I will post the photos of the site that we took when we went out on our hunt for our bit of egypt. (i'll put them on soon)

Hi Jo - congratulations - look forward to all the progress reports and pics in the future xx

Hi
Great to hear someone has already bought in Viva- I caught the thread while on google making up my mind whether to take the plunge & buy into viva Reef. I haven't been to Sharm for a few years but I have stayed in Nabq in the past, but I won't be able to visit for a while so I have been hesitant to buy without seeing- it would be fabulous if you have pictures.
I too am looking at 2 bedroom properties.

Hi Oddbod and welcome to the forum. If there is anything you need to know about navigating the forum please let the moderators know - Lsab ( Linda ) and myself Alison.

I am also buying in Nabq - Sierra along with quite alot of other forum members. I was out there in June and July and took some pics of Nabq see http://www.propertycommunity.com/forum/egypt...ures-nabq.html

This area really has come along in leaps and bounds and the new La Strada and Al Khan malls are lovely.

I completed my handover last month and have just received pics of the furnished apartment so Im really excited - you can see the pics on the furniture thread http://www.propertycommunity.com/forum/egypt...-egypt-46.html

If there is anything you need to know please feel free to post away in the various threads.

Good luck

Alison

Hi oddbod???

We liked the look of Viva reef from the brochures but just wasn't brave enough to take the plunge without going out first. I've just had a new progress pic sent by our agent (pioneer property) so i've attached that for you to see the first apartments being built. I have to say both me and my partner john were impressed by the site even though it is just a building site at the moment! The 2 bed apartments are a really good size especially when you compare the price to that of other 2 bed apartments on offer.

Anyway heres the photos as promised, you can see the progression of the golf course to the right of one of the pics. The hotel part of the complex is the one that looks the most done!

Any questions you have about the development that you want to know i can give you the information we were told by Pioneer (i have to recommend them too they were really friendly and answered everything we wanted to know). The developer also did the Roman Theatre complex in Naama bay, although they said that was their basic apartments where viva reef is of a higher specification. We saw the roman theatre apartments and they were to a nice standard and you could see the detail and nice finishes that were put in place there so it bodes well for viva reef. We opted for a ground floor apartment as there was a 3 metre garden included due to the loss of kitchen space because of the stairwell taking up room compared to the 1st and 2nd floor apartments.

Hi Jo & Queenie,

Thanks so much for the pictures.
I have been holding back because I hadn't seen the development, & I have no holidays left from work, ( my arm was twisted for a 2 week ski holiday in March) I had hoped to go over in January.
Its pioneer property that I have been in touch with. I had looked at the ground floor apartmants, thinking of my parents who are 70, but when I told them they are not keen and would prefer the second floor!
I Have asked about the warraty for the building and she (Karen at the developers) has yet to get back to me, but it looks good.

Hi Oddbod have you looked at other developments in Sharm - there are quite a few out there.

Hi Queenie

Yes I have, I lost count, but Viva ticked most of the boxes on my list: not Naama, back from the sea, very near to the golf course with the terraces a bit more shaded & of course the extra space for the prices charged at others & 2 bathrooms.
It was one of the first I looked at but I kept searching but always came back to compare the others to it, so now I've seen it I guess its the one that suits my needs.

You must be so excited about taking over your apartment, it looks fab with all your bits & pieces set out, I can't imagine any developer in the Uk doing that for you, mine seems a long way off in 2010

Aud

Hi Aud - thanks for your kind comments. We are really pleased. We didnt buy the developers furniture pack but went to Idea4furniture and couldnt believe the extra touches he put in for us. Got a flight out on Tuesday so watch the Sierra thread as I will post some vids. Cant wait to see it in the flesh.

Does any one want me to go up to Vivia to see if I can get in and take pics and a video??

Good luck xx

hi Queenie

Thank you for for the kind offer offer but answering for myself I'm happy with Jo's photos at the moment, I can't imagine it will have grown much in such a short time. Enjoy
Aud
