The industries reputation is suffering

For many years now, the overseas property industry has been experiencing an ever increasing bad reputation. With ‘horror stories’ in the news on an almost daily basis, we are constantly being made aware of people losing their investments, properties never being built and both developers and agents giving little or no after sales service once money has been paid.

As there is no legal governing body for the overseas property industry, there is very little stopping anybody from setting up a website and a phone number and overnight becoming an ‘overseas property expert, selling property worldwide’. This maintains distrust in the industry.

Progress is being made

The AIPP (Association of International Property Professionals) was created to allow professional conduct and alleviate mistrust in the International Property market.  The AIPP works because they have no vested interest in either buying or selling of property and want to ensure that their members provide a high standard of professionalism to the process.  All the members of the AIPP have to follow a professional code of conduct in a bid to improve the standards of the industry. The code of conduct is focused around providing the highest levels of customer service and support and providing detailed and honest information throughout the whole process of buying a property. This in turn means that if a consumer does have recourse as part of the process the AIPP has the authority to enforce the code of conduct.  This can be by means of fine or even expulsion. The AIPP are making steps to really ‘clean up’ the overseas property industry.

More needs to be done

However, members of the AIPP join voluntarily. There is actually nothing in place that means companies NEED to follow any type of procedures. So despite the AIPP providing the service, without the legal enforcement, the industry is going to remain open to the ‘con-men and sharks’ that are out only for themselves and not the consumers.

Have your say!

Show your support for improving this industry by commenting on this blog. Tell us your stories good or bad, ways you can think the industry can improve and whether you agree or not that the Overseas Property Industry needs regulating. We will take this information to the government and a national newspaper along with your stories, in a bid to increase the publicity around the industry with the end goal being higher standards for all involved.

Egypt – Red Sea, Hurghada

Boasting over 20 miles of spectacular coastline, the bustling town of Hurghada was once a small fishing village, which today has blossomed into a destination of choice amongst international holiday-makers, making it Egypt’s most popular tourist resort. Its permanent summer weather, fantastic diving facilities and luxury hotels pull thousands of visitors to the region every year, attracting an increase of 27% British tourist’s annually. The government also has a growth strategy to increase its population from 200,000 to over 1 million,
creating a rising need for quality rental property.

The increase in tourism has created a higher demand for quality accommodation. With the Red Sea experiencing one of the highest rental markets in Egypt and given Hurghada’s well established transportation links, regular flights and world-class facilities, property in this area is becoming more appealing to investors looking to benefit from an immediate rental income.

Development – Royal Beach

Situated strategically between the energetic Hurghada and the exclusive El Gouna, you have the perfect location to discover both areas with a complimentary shuttle bus. Imagine playing 18 holes of championship golf by day in El Gouna on a Freddy Couples designed golf course and relaxing with a fine meal and a few drinks on the Marina in Hurghada by night. That is if you can pull yourself away from the 4,500m2 beach, the diving school, the pool and beach bar and the 6 international restaurants on the Royal Beach resort!

With all due diligence being carried out by a multi-national law firm with offices in Cairo and the UK, then a further independent multi-national law firm with offices in Cairo and the UK being offered for the purchase contracts it is easy to see how different this sounds to previous developments. With a completion date of March 2012, construction is well under way and on course.

Rental Guarantee

The developers of Royal Beach have written into the contract a rental guarantee that will give purchasers a guaranteed return of 31.5% over the first 5 years, enabling owners to have 3 weeks free usage. The rental will be paid yearly in the following increments:

• Year one – 5%
• Year two – 5.5%
• Year three – 6%
• Year four – 7%
• Year five – 8%

The Association of International Property Professionals (AIPP) 2010 Awards were presented live at the A Place in the Sun exhibition in Earl’s Court, London on Friday 26th March, 2010.

In front of hundreds of fellow industry professionals and members of the public, Rivermead Global Property was honoured with the highly prestigious ‘Most Outstanding Example of Customer Service’ award.  This was given in recognition of their significantly important work in Egypt over the last twelve months, where they have tried to get homes back for hundreds of clients (the majority of whom were not originally their own).

The AIPP is the professional body that sets standards and regulations in the international property industry.  Their ethos is primarily centred on promoting professionalism and establishing confidence in consumers, which is why this particular award’s recognition of excellence in customer service makes it one of the most coveted titles of the ceremony.

Neil Hollingsworth, Property Director of Rivermead Global Property says:
“After all the hard work in Egypt, it makes it all worthwhile- even more so because we’re finally coming to a solution there.  It’s absolutely wonderful to be recognised for all the hard work of the last 12 months and to be acknowledged by the industry!”
