Selling a property in Egypt is not just about finding the right buyer, it also means getting your paperwork in order. Having the correct legal documents ready speeds up the process and builds buyer confidence. Whether you're selling an apartment in New Cairo, a villa in Sheikh Zayed, or a coastal home in the North Coast, this guide covers everything you need. Why Proper Documentation Matters in Egypt’s Real Estate Market Egypt’s property market continues to grow, especially in urban areas and tourist-friendly cities. Many local and foreign buyers are looking for homes or investments in places like: • New Administrative Capital • 6th October and Sheikh Zayed • Ain Sokhna and North Coast • Hurghada and El Gouna But even in a high-demand market, deals can fall apart if your documents are missing or unclear. Essential Documents Needed to Sell Property in Egypt Here’s a checklist of the documents you need before listing or finalizing a property sale: 1. Original Title Deed (Contract of Ownership) This is the most important proof that you legally own the property. It can be: • A green contract (resale title deed) officially registered with the Real Estate Publicity Department. • A preliminary contract (if the property isn’t yet registered), especially in newer compounds. Tip: If you only have a preliminary contract, work with a lawyer to validate ownership and make the deal secure for the buyer. 2. Copy of Seller’s National ID or Passport You’ll need to provide: • A valid national ID (for Egyptian sellers). • A passport copy and visa or residency (for foreign sellers). • If you’re selling on behalf of someone, you’ll need a power of attorney. 3. Tax Clearance Certificate This proves that there are no outstanding property taxes. It’s required by law before the sale is completed. Fact: Egypt’s government is increasing digital services, so some tax documents can now be issued online or through authorized tax offices. 4. Utility Clearance (Electricity, Water, Gas) You must show that all utility bills are paid and up to date. Required for: • Electricity (from Egypt Electricity Company) • Water (from the local utility authority) • Gas (if available in the property) This reassures the buyer that there are no hidden debts on the property. 5. Copy of Building Permit and Layout Plan (If Applicable) In gated communities or compounds, the buyer might ask to see: • The building permit • The property layout or floor plan • Confirmation that construction followed local laws This is more common in villas or large residential units. 6. Power of Attorney (If Selling Through a Representative) If the seller isn’t present, a notarized Power of Attorney (POA) must be issued to authorize someone to sell on your behalf. Important: • POA must be notarized and legalized (if issued abroad). • Must clearly state property address and selling rights. Optional But Helpful Documents • Property evaluation report from a licensed real estate expert. • Proof of payments (especially for off-plan or developer properties). • Mortgage release letter if the property was previously under a bank loan. Final Steps: Legal Process to Sell Property in Egypt Once your documents are ready: 1. Agree on a price with the buyer. 2. Sign a preliminary agreement with deposit terms. 3. Visit the Notary Public Office (El Shahr El Aakary) to finalize the sale and ownership transfer. 4. Hand over the keys after payment is completed. Tip: Hiring a legal advisor or real estate lawyer can speed up paperwork and avoid legal issues. Why Buyers Prefer Properties with Complete Documentation Well-documented properties: • Sell faster. • Attract serious buyers, especially expats or investors. • Often sell for a higher price. Especially in cities like Cairo, New Zayed, and Sokhna, buyers expect full legal clarity before moving forward. Why It’s a Good Time to Sell Property in Egypt Egypt continues to be a hot market for real estate investors thanks to: • Ongoing mega-projects like the New Capital and major highways. • High demand for beach properties in Ain Sokhna and North Coast. • Rising interest from Gulf and international buyers. By preparing your documents properly, you can sell faster, safer, and at a better value. https://elbayt.com/en/list-your-property
