Consider hiring a translator so that you can translate all documents to English and understand them. Always make sure your names are on the documents filed with the proper offices. A good honest translator is worth their weight in gold here in Egypt

@DPGardnerj (1) Do we have to register the property?
Yes to be able to get residency on your apartment and not to be taken from you and to protect your property incase buyer can resell it , primary contract ,landlords can issue for many and the one who will own jt legally is the one who registered his peoperty and assured that seller signature is right in court ( incase you will need to sell afterwards.

(2) Do we physically have to be here :
No ,you can make a lawyer authorization for by and sell in your behalf , to register the property the property owner must attend at registration,聽 usually both buyer and seller shoukd be present .
Now the new laws this week , is to register your apartment to be able tonre sell it , you will need a court case for that , the buyer approves his signature on the apartment contract ,then to move to civil Registry and pay 3%
(3) understand can anticipate paying 3% of total value
Yes, adding to registration expenses
(4) Can anyone recommend a lawyer with good reputation?
Kind regards

@DPGardnerj Did you buy the apartment through an Egyptian real estate agent? I am trying to contact them through sites like ReMax Avalon, which is an international company and they advertise thousands of properties in Egypt, but no one is answering my inquiries. Is there an Egyptian real estate agency which caters to foreigners wanting to move to Egypt? At this point I don't know how to start the buying process. Thanks.

Never buy an apartment from thief scammers聽 -聽 Red Sea Way聽 聽 聽- you will inherit a聽 multitude of problems. Floods indsutrial waste dumped in from of the resort/compound聽 and your complaints will be ignored. Avoid!
