In Egypt, it was proposed to create a unified system for regulating the real estate market.

The deputy leader of the Wafd party in the Egyptian Senate, Yasser Kura, introduced a comprehensive bill to create a centralized real estate market surveillance system. The aim of the initiative is to increase transparency, protect the rights of buyers and investors, and stabilize one of the key sectors of the economy.

The main provisions of the plan include:

1. Creation of a national regulator with the participation of key ministries and the Central Bank to monitor all transactions.

2. Introduction of mandatory escrow accounts for each project. Buyers' funds will be protected, and payments to developers will be linked to the confirmed stages of construction.

3. The launch of a unified digital platform, where all information about projects, prices and progress of work will be accumulated in real time.

4. The unification of sales contracts and the prohibition of vague formulations in order to eliminate "fictitious sales" and manipulation.

5. Creation of special judicial chambers for accelerated resolution of disputes in the real estate sector.

The project also provides tax incentives for environmentally conscious developers and simplified procedures for foreign buyers to attract investment.

The bill adapts international experience (UAE, Saudi Arabia, USA) to Egyptian realities. After consideration in the Senate, it will be sent to the House of Representatives and the Government.

The Egyptian real estate market is attractive and promising, but it is important to choose the right partner. On how to do this, told in the article on HomesOverseas.ru .
