The Egyptian Ministry of Housing, through the Urban Communities Authority, has completed the procedures for land regularization in new urban areas. This development allows for the signing of contracts with winners of residential land plots. The New Urban Communities Authority has confirmed that the process is underway, following the completion of examination, review, and verification of submitted documents.

The process of land regularization and contract signing is a significant step towards providing citizens with legal and secure land ownership. The Urban Communities Authority has emphasized the importance of submitting required documents and attending the authority's office starting from November 22. These documents include the original preliminary sale contract, property ownership documents, a national ID card, and the original application.

Applicants who submitted their applications through the mail must provide proof of submission. The required documents must be in order to proceed with the contract signing and payment procedures. The authority has specified that a bank cheque payable to the New Urban Communities Authority is required, with values ranging from 60,000 to 150,000 Egyptian pounds, depending on the land area.

The values of the cheques are based on the land area, with 60,000 pounds for lands up to 300 square meters, 100,000 pounds for lands between 300 and 500 square meters, and 150,000 pounds for lands exceeding 500 square meters. The authority has clarified that these amounts are considered payments under account until the final financial settlements are determined based on the actual area of each land plot.

The Urban Communities Authority has stressed that all interactions with the authority must be conducted through the Technology Center for Citizen Services at its headquarters. This measure aims to streamline the process and provide efficient services to citizens. The authority's efforts focus on providing secure and transparent land ownership to citizens.

The completion of land regularization in new urban areas is part of the Egyptian government's efforts to improve land management and provide citizens with secure and affordable housing options. The Ministry of Housing continues to work towards achieving these goals, ensuring that citizens have access to essential services and infrastructure.
