≈ +3.5% over the price. The statutory registration fee is 3% of the higher of price or rent-capitalized value; in practice many sales sit on “receipt” registration (0.5%) for years, which saves money and costs enforceability. The 2024 mortgage-law amendments and new capital-gains treatment for unregistered land aim to kill the grey market. Sign at the notary, register properly, and the discount is not worth it.

Rentals run on rules

The rent side, in three lines

  • Deposits run two to three months, often a full year in advance.
  • Leases are commonly annual, paid quarterly or upfront.
  • New Cairo and the North Coast are two markets: one prices in pounds, one in dollars.

Cairo’s new cities price off dollar-earning expats; Alexandria off a domestic port economy.

The New Administrative Capital is Egypt's flagship development: a new city 45km east of Cairo with government offices, financial district and residential compounds. Foreign buyers can purchase freehold in designated areas.

Transfer fees are typically 3–5% of the property value. Notarised contracts are standard. The market is active but documentation and enforcement vary.
