Is the price fixed once I sign?
Short answer
Yes. The price on the contract you sign is the price you pay, and the plan, the deposit and the delivery year printed beside it are the ones that follow. Any clause that lets the figure move is read in that same contract.
What fixes the price?
Yes — the figure you sign at is the figure you pay. A developer sale in Egypt runs on a written contract signed at reservation or shortly after, and the price is written into it as a number for a named unit. The payment plan is an annex to the same contract: the down payment as a percentage of that price, the plan length in years, the spacing of the instalments, and the delivery year. The compound's page prints the same plan as its plan card, so the deposit, the length and the delivery year are read before signing.
Does the price on the page match the contract?
The plan card is the developer's own filing and the contract is the document that binds. Where the two agree there is nothing left to settle: the price on the page is the price in the paper. Where a plan carries a cash offer beside the instalment plan, the discount is part of the figure you sign at, not a separate promise. Privado Cluster 94 in Madinaty is filed with a 10% down payment over five years and, beside it, a cash offer of 27.5% off, with delivery in 2026 — one page, one price, two ways to pay it.
What can move after signing?
The price of the unit does not drift on its own. What the contract may allow to move is written in the contract: a re-measurement at final survey, where the price is fixed per square metre and the finished area differs from the planned one; a change in the unit's specification that you ask for; and a late-payment penalty that attaches to an instalment arriving after its date. Each of those is a clause, and the contract is where you read it before you sign rather than after.
Is a fixed price the same as a fixed delivery date?
No. Fixing the price settles what you pay. The delivery year is a separate term on the same annex, and it is a year rather than a day. If handover moves, what you can claim — a delay penalty, a notice, a revised date — is set out in the contract's delivery clause, and the plan card prints the year the developer filed.
What does the catalogue show today?
The catalogue prices a plan by its deposit and its length. Today the deposit the largest group of units carries is 5%, with 10% next, and the plan length the largest group carries is eight years, with ten years behind it, within a range running from one year to fifteen. Delivery years run from 2024 to 2032. Those are the terms the pages show on the day of the reading.
What about a resale unit?
On a resale unit the price is the figure the owner asks and the two of you agree. What does not change is the plan already running on it: the balance, its dates and its length come from the developer's records, and the sale transfers the unit with that plan attached.
What should be in writing before I sign?
Six things: the price as a figure for a named unit; the deposit as a percentage of it; the plan length and the spacing of the instalments; the delivery year; the clause that allows any figure to move and what triggers it; and the schedule annex that turns all of it into dates. Put them in one place — the contract — and they answer the question on the day you sign, not the day you ask.
