Comprehensive Legal Overview of Reliable Title Deed Verification for Foreign Buyers in Egypt

Purchasing property in Egypt can be a sound and secure investment, but it also carries significant legal risks—especially for foreign buyers unfamiliar with local real estate practices.

At Anglo – Nile Legal Services, the company operates as a sole limited liability company, cooperating with specialized experienced lawyers in Egypt who carefully verify ownership records, investigate any legal disputes, and provide verified legal opinions to ensure your purchase is fully protected under Egyptian law.

Expert Assurance

“Trusted Legal Support for Foreign Clients in Egypt”

Comprehensive Registry Check

We conduct an in-depth investigation at the Real Estate Publicity Department (REPD) and other relevant authorities to confirm the true legal ownership of the property. This search reveals any outstanding liens, mortgages, court orders, or encumbrances, ensuring that the property is free from hidden claims and that the seller is legally entitled to transfer ownership. We never rely solely on the paper deed provided by the seller—our process guarantees official and up-to-date information.

Our lawyers prepare a detailed legal report in both English and Arabic. This report summarizes our findings, clearly highlights any legal risks or irregularities, and explains their implications in straightforward language. The document is designed to be understood by clients without legal backgrounds and serves as a solid reference should you need to negotiate, renegotiate, or walk away from a risky deal.

Document Collection & Authentication

We take care of collecting all necessary documents from the seller, including the current title deed, official IDs, utility bills, property tax receipts, and—in the case of inherited property—court documents that confirm the legal transfer of ownership. Each document is carefully checked for authenticity and consistency with official registry data to prevent fraud or administrative errors.

Mortgage & Encumbrance Investigation

Our team systematically searches for active mortgages, judicial orders, ongoing family disputes, and any previous claims related to the property. This thorough check prevents you from inheriting hidden debts or being caught in unresolved legal issues after your purchase. We provide you with a clear breakdown of any risks identified and advise on the best way to address or avoid them.

Most Common Legal Questions

How can I be sure the property’s title deed is not forged or outdated?
  • We conduct cross-checks with official land registries and court databases in Egypt to confirm authenticity, registration status, and legal validity.

What documents do I need to start the verification process?
  • At a minimum, we need a copy of the title deed, the seller’s ID, and any prior sale contracts or inheritance documents, if applicable.

  • Yes. You can authorize us through a Power of Attorney. Our team in Egypt will handle the full process on your behalf, with full transparency and reporting.
