Excellent news, thats one worry out the way! And its ahead of time too eh?

Listen that hob is proving to be a problem, arrived with no styrene packaging or anything! Have managed to get it in the case but could be carrying a dirty great big empty suitcase on the way back cos all weight is taken up by bubble wrap and protective packaging.

Still, better than being ripped off - provided I don't crack it on the way! LOL

That reminds me when I took a 20" flat screen TV out as hand luggage. It was the exact size of the allowable baggage at that time but much heavier. I was so stress out they would take it off me but they didn't query it at check in, didn't weigh it, and no query through the cameras at security!. Only problem now is of course I can't get it back again!

Rayman hate to worry you but I have seen them drop bags the full height from the plane at Sharm LOL

Ouch! Thanks Penny, just what I needed, some positive encouragement! LOL. I did think about checking it in seperately but to be honest I think it will probably get more damaged just in some wrapping. I will ask the check in staff to put fragile stickers all over the case but I don't expect that it will make much difference. It is going inside a Samsonite case so I hope its gonna be ok...........might not have any nails left when I get there though, my luck it'll be ok but I'll drop it at the other end! [Big Grin]

Mac,

Suspect I'll be back out at the end of Feb, around the 23rd somewhere as I have a return leg on BA for 28th. Just have to find a way out there now........oh and don't ask about BA return leg as its a veeeeeeeery long story which I might share at the weekend over a beer. [Roll Eyes]

anyone heard of this outfit? Are those the right prices for S Bride? What does this company get from the purchases?

And no - just cos' I'm new I'm not flogging anything or touting someone else's business.

Hello Dimka
We bough at the S Bride 2 flats
68 m2 middle floor I paid 21318 K each x 2 after a discount of 15% for cash in advance payment I did calculate that the m2 is for 313 pounds a great value for money with a great sea view.
How about you?

yes will go about 19th feb till 5th march i gave the paint sofa to mike lol after you letf i had the mirrors installed from the guy i told you about and mike had his kitchen from him and bedroom package i think he charged him less then me ,work that out, so over all i was very pleased with the workmanship from him and the speed he installed he came 10pm at night so now i will stop in my apartment from now.
shame you didnt get to see my new project in montazah its very nice with pool going around the balconies on the ground floor.
when will you return to sharm for a week or few days, i got a car after you left which i should have got one from the start

Well if he does mine as well he would be doing it even cheaper and at that rate, someone gets theirs for free! lol. Probably going out on 24th Feb or thereabouts. Flights are a pain at the moment. Will look at the new project then.

Hi Dimka
Sorry I do not know why?
I met them at the home buyer show in London a few months ago you can check their web site through google sharm el sheikh real estate and they are the exclusive sales agent for that resort,I felt comfortable dealing with them.
I did a big search before departing my money to Sharm Bride and they got the best value for money,I got my contracts and all went through smooth.The agent monthly send us updated photos for the building progress

That sounds great value. I'm thinking of 2 but on separate sites and at different stages of development. What about furniture and which lawyer did you use?

Hi Dimka
15% is for paying cash in advance only
If you buy a whole building they will through in 5%,any way for the amount I paid it is already a great value
I paid them the full amount and got my contracts signed by the developer.
The furniture is an option, no price yet.

Our agent informed us that the first hand over at Sierra will be due in July 2007 and the last will be March 2008 at Sierra check with them which phase is due for hand over first they might have some apartments available for sale

Our deal went through in Turkey and we are thinking about buying at Sierra for investment

Can get one out on 25th but that only gives me 2 and a half days in Sharm which I don't think is enough. Alternative is to go on the Thursday but didn't want to be there a week! No happy medium. Will just have to pay the extra for the BA flight on the Saturday instead. Theres always availability so no problem there. Will book it next week on Wednesday when I'm back from a business trip.

as iam new to this forum i have spent a lot of time reading and some most informative,some funny i might add, i notice IAN 457 want to start a thread up leading away from this but my personal thought is for new members such as my self will miss the past input from such members past and present i think this site is very good from those i have visted in the last week as to furniture purchase, property related isuse ie, contracts and such as, even just reading the threads on here has help me greatly and its so nice to see so many people together in one place giving and receiving thier personal thoughts and sharing them with each other,i my self will be in sharm soon to follow up on my recent purchase and is very keen to learn more about the pit falls of furniture prices and where and where not to go
