Excellent service from start to finish, when buying a property from SHO in Egypt. George is an honest, experienced property advisor. He knows the buying process from viewing remotely to recommending a good lawyer. Support on the ground from his team when dealing with government officials, opening bank accounts, issuing POA's and shopping trips. Any concerns I had I was put at ease in a calm and friendly manner and emails and phone calls were acted on promptly. For peace of mind and to be in safe hands I would highly recommend Sun Homes Overseas Ltd Thank you for making my dream come true
Slick service from offer to completion with good update process

My apartment in Hurghada has been managed By Sun Homes Egypt for the last 6 years. During that time I have appreciated the personal and efficient service that I have received. Sara has used her vast local knowledge to adapt and protect my interests in a changing financial and political situation heralded by the "Arab Dawn" I have been very satisfied by the overall performance of my management team especially the recent changes to the financial information system I receive each month. I have total and absolute confidence in Sun Homes Egypt and would recommend their services to any owner that is thinking of renting out their property.

I am delighted to be able to feedback on our experience with Sun Homes Overseas. From the start it has been the most positive experience and would like to thank George and Nigel for their professional help and experience. They really did make the whole experience very simple and straight forward for us and they regularly kept in contact with us through the whole process which is always very reassuring when selling a property abroad. I have to say that they are incredibly thoughtful and considerate in all that they do and my comments probably do not do justice to the work they do. Once again thank you so much for everything and I strongly recommend this company to anyone and everyone.

Professional service provided by Nigel throughout the process of buying our apartment in Bansko, from the initial viewing through to agreeing the purchase with the seller. It was all very easy from our perspective, including the recommendation of an efficient local lawyer who spoke excellent English and dealt with the conveyancing for us in just a few weeks. We would definitely recommend Sun Homes to anybody looking to buy or sell in Bansko.

George, thanks for all your help with the purchase of our apartment at the Makadi complex. Jan and myself were obviously a little nervous and apprehensive this being our first such purchase abroad, but with all the help and advice provided by you the whole matter has gone without a hitch. We were particularly impressed by your immediate responses to our questions and the level of information you provided to us on each occasion, we understand how difficult this can be at times. Jan and myself have now completed our purchase and are just awaiting the final papers from the lawyer, again who you provided advice on, and are now looking forward to our apartment being completed in 2011 and the anticipation of many relaxing and very enjoyable holidays for us and our family. Thank you again George and please pass on our thanks to your other staff, they have all been great. All the best for the future

The Sun Homes team have looked after our property in Bansko for many years and have provided an exceptional service, often above and beyond the call of duty - for example when Nigel had to rescue a tenant who was trapped in the bathroom one Sunday! I have always had absolute confidence in their management of the apartment and the finances and have been delighted with the smooth and painless process we went through to sell it. I would recommend them unreservedly for all sales and property management services.

Our property was listed with several agents for over a year. Sun Homes had it listed for only 4 months and found a buyer for us with an offer we were happy to accept. The sale was completed in 3 weeks. Sun Homes' fee includes the lawyer's fee so you know exactly how much the fees will be regardless of the final selling price. We liked this - so much better than paying a percentage plus the lawyer's fee.

We used Sun Homes to resale our Bankso property. We were impressed with the service, right from when we listed the property with them, to the completion. Nigel & George are both very knowledgeable about the Bulgarian property market. Everything was explained in detail, and the whole process from offer to completion was 35 days. We also found it easier paying one fee (which included the lawyer's fee). Would highly recommend them.

Sun homes have been managing my real estate in Hurghada for over 5 years. There have been challenges with getting suitable tenants etc but thats just down to the state of the economy in that region. George and his team have been professional, very responsive and go over and beyond sometimes by settling taxes or payments due from their pockets to be reimbursed later. We just concluded sale of the property and that went smoothly with regular updates and information provided regarding the unique requirements of the region. I feel like I have been dealing with family even though all transactions have been by email. I will highly recommend Sun Homes Overseas if you want to purchase or lease out your property in Egypt. You will get honest and reliable advice and handholding all the way through!

Henry

After many years of ownership, we decided to sell our apartment in Egypt primarily to use the money to see more of the world. We did not need to sell, so we wanted a good price. After many suboptimal offers, George Sorial managed to find a purchaser willing to pay this price. The selling process is somewhat complex, but George was excellent throughout and provided all of the necessary support with lawyers, Notaries, Embassies, the Foreign & Commonwealth Office, International document transfers, bank transfers etc. Ultimately a potential organisational nightmare went exceptionally smoothly. We received our funds into our UK account without any issues whatsoever. Excellent service throughout, even personal telephone support over weekends. We would thoroughly recommend.

George at Sun Homes Overseas has provided an excellent service throughout a sale transaction. He has gone above and beyond, significantly, to ensure a speedy completion to meet everyone's requirements. From the very beginning to the completion communication was outstanding and his team colleague oversees (Rifat ) has also gone above and beyond to help us furnishing our townhouse in Hurghada. We cannot recommend them enough for what they did for us. They are friendly, professional and overall great people who want nothing more than to secure you your dream home. Thank you, again, for all your help, we couldn’t have done it without you! We would highly recommend.
