Property Registration in Egypt — Clear, Compliant Ownership for Foreign Buyers & Expats

Why Registration Matters

Property Registration in Egypt converts a private sale into enforceable ownership against third parties. Registration at the Real Estate Publicity Department (REPD) protects you from double sales, hidden claims, and succession disputes, and enables lawful resale, mortgaging, and leasing. Accurate Arabic-compliant filings with bilingual guidance are essential to avoid remarks and delays.

Who We Serve

Non-resident Egyptian nationals, foreign buyers, mixed-nationality families, corporate purchasers, and heirs regularising legacy deeds. We handle residential, commercial, touristic, and inheritance-based registrations across Egypt.

Our Legal Scope & Responsibility

ANGLO–NILE INTERNATIONAL LEGAL SERVICES LTD is a UK-registered sole limited company. We do not provide or practice legal services under UK law. All legal services are delivered exclusively under Egyptian law through the lawyers the company cooperates with in Egypt. We contract with you directly and remain fully responsible for the agreed scope of work.

How the Registration Process Works

Phase 1 — Assessment & Due Diligence

  1. Intro Call & File Opening: Share sale documents and IDs. We confirm the target outcome and expected timeframe.
  2. Chain-of-Title Review: Cooperating lawyers examine deeds, court judgments, and allocation letters to confirm seller capacity.
  3. Registry & Court Checks: Searches for notations, overlapping sales, liens, pending suits, and encumbrances.
  4. Feasibility Memo: Bilingual note outlining risks, corrective steps (if any), and indicative costs.

Phase 2 — Document Preparation

  1. Arabic-Compliant Instruments: Sale deed, powers, and declarations prepared to REPD practice.
  2. POA for Clients Abroad: Tailored Arabic/English POA with notarisation and legalisation/apostille guidance.
  3. Survey & Tax: Coordinate boundary plan (if required) and obtain tax clearances and municipal confirmations.

Phase 3 — Submission & Completion

  1. Notary Attendance: Signing before an Egyptian notary or via authorised representative under your POA.
  2. Lodgement & Official Fees: Submission to the Real Estate Publicity Office with receipted payments.
  3. Follow-up & Final Output: Addressing remarks, monitoring progress, and delivering the registration certificate.

Timeframes depend on file complexity, local office workload, and whether corrective actions are required. A scoped plan follows the assessment.

Our Property Registration Services

Clear steps, secure filings, protecting foreign investors

The first step is to arrange a consultation to discuss your property registration needs. We assess your situation and ensure all the necessary documentation is in place before we begin the registration process.

  • Our team helps you gather all required documents such as the title deed, property survey reports, tax clearance, and personal identification documents. We verify these documents for accuracy and completeness.
  • We carefully review all necessary documents, including the title deed, proof of ownership, and tax receipts. Our team ensures that all documents are legally valid and in order before starting the registration process. This step helps avoid potential issues or delays in the registration.
  • We perform an extensive check to ensure there are no legal disputes, encumbrances, or outstanding taxes on the property. Our team verifies that the property’s ownership is clear and that the seller has the legal right to transfer ownership.
  • Once everything is in order, we prepare the necessary registration documents, including the contract, sale agreement, and any required affidavits or notarizations. All documents are checked for accuracy.
  • We file the registration documents with the Egyptian Real Estate Publicity Office and ensure they are processed according to the law. This step officially starts the registration procedure.
  • We ensure that all property taxes are paid and that you have the necessary tax clearance before proceeding with registration. This helps in avoiding any potential legal issues or delays during the property registration process.

We provide comprehensive support in verifying the legitimacy of the seller's ownership and their right to sell the property. This is a critical step to ensure that the transaction is valid and legally binding.

  1. We follow up with the authorities to ensure the registration process moves smoothly and that you receive confirmation of ownership once the process is completed.
