I have looked at a few websites advertising apartments in Sharm.

Would you recommend buying a one bed apartment there ? I have heard conflicting views and can not make my mind up.

I am thinking of buying and renting it out through a local agency to an Egyptian local (rather than have to constantly find tourists to rent to)

I am aware of some of the pitfalls such as always checking that the developer had permission to build on the land, checking that the owner actualy owns the apartment, having a overseas property lawyer inspect the contract and advise on the sales process but are there any other things that I need to look into?

I have heard that there is some kind of property tax around £50 a year. Is that correct ?

Are there any other taxes to pay on buying an apartment ?

Would the apartment need registering with an Egyptian authority ?

Thanks for your advice.
