The practical answer
Compare offers for identified properties using the same price basis, measurement definition and inclusion list. Record the issue date, validity period and supporting document for each answer. Leave unknown items marked as unknown. A lower headline price becomes meaningful only when you understand what each proposal actually delivers.
Give each offer a clear identity
Save each proposal as a separate version with its issue date, seller, project, building, floor, orientation and attached plan. Ask whether the quoted property remains available and when the offer expires. A screenshot forwarded through several conversations may omit the conditions that gave the original price its meaning.
You might begin your search with Cala Sahl Hasheesh and Veranda Sahl Hasheesh. Their project pages are discovery starting points; obtain current proposals for the actual homes you want to compare. Keep later revisions beside the earlier version so a changed specification does not disappear behind an unchanged price.
Choose a common basis before comparing totals
Write down whether each figure is a cash price, an instalment total or a price conditional on a particular payment date. Ask which currency the contract uses, how any displayed euro figure was calculated and whether it remains fixed. These answers belong beside the price, not buried in a separate chat.
Consider an illustrative pair of offers: Proposal A includes air conditioning but excludes furnishings; Proposal B includes furnishings but does not specify cooling. Even if their totals match, their contents do not. Request a complete cooling specification for B and a separate furnishing quotation for A. Avoid filling either gap with an optimistic estimate and presenting the result as a confirmed comparison.
Replace broad labels with an inclusion schedule
Words such as finished, equipped and furnished need a supporting list. Separate flooring, bathroom fittings, kitchen cabinetry, appliances, cooling equipment and loose furniture. Mark every row included, excluded or awaiting confirmation. For supplied equipment, request a specification or agreed substitution rule rather than relying on the appearance of a show home.
Apply the same approach to parking, storage and access arrangements: identify the relevant document, any separate charge and the conditions attached. GOV.UK’s overseas buying guidance recommends written confirmation of negotiated terms and independent legal advice. Have your own adviser check how accepted inclusions will appear in the purchase documents.
Keep evidence beside every comparison row
A compact table makes uncertainty visible without turning the decision into an accounting exercise. Use one row per issue and reserve a final column for the document, date or person who can resolve it.
| Comparison row | What to record | What closes the question |
|---|---|---|
| Floor area | Area and measurement basis | Annotated measurement schedule |
| Specification | Named items and exclusions | Current agreed schedule |
| Payment basis | Total, currency and conditions | Dated written proposal |
| Availability | Exact property and expiry | Current seller confirmation |
Keep sales statements separate from independently checked evidence. The RICS standard on comparable evidence provides professional context for evaluating information sources. Your buyer comparison is a decision aid, not a formal valuation or proof that either asking price represents market value.
Make your lifestyle priorities part of the decision
Once the proposals are aligned, choose three preferences that genuinely affect your stay. You may value a shaded outdoor sitting area, separation between the bedroom and living space, or an easier route from the entrance to your front door. Describe the practical benefit you want rather than giving an undefined score for luxury.
Record what supports each preference: a visit, a measured plan or a specific unanswered question. A beautiful image may help you shortlist a home, but it cannot resolve every detail of its position. If Offer A suits your daily routine more closely, a written explanation of that advantage is more useful than a complicated scoring formula.
Send one final clarification request
Before choosing, gather the unresolved items into a single message. Ask for a revised offer that incorporates the answers, identifies its attachments and confirms which earlier proposal it replaces. If an answer changes your comparison, update both the total and the practical consequence. An omitted appliance is a specification issue; an unclear delivery condition is a separate decision.
Contact Hurghadians Property with your two offers and three priorities to request help organising the comparison and asking for current information. Ask your independent legal adviser to review the documents relevant to the purchase before committing. A well-prepared shortlist leaves you free to enjoy the property search with fewer unresolved details.

Bring your priorities to the next viewing
Use the same questions for every shortlisted property. Ask for the current information that applies to your chosen home, then bring the answers together before deciding.
