Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi had ratified Law No. 9 of 2022 amending some provisions of Law No. 114 of 1946 regulating the real estate month, which relates to the mechanisms for registering real estate and residential apartments.

The Egyptian Ministry of Justice confirmed that the real estate registration is regulated by two laws, the first being Law No. 114 of 1946, which is the real estate registration law, which is a professional law, and the second is regulating the administrative aspect of real estate registry employees, which is Law No. 5 of 1964 and it regulates issues related to appointment, dismissal and promotion.

The Ministry of Justice explained that the law, issued by Sisi, regulates the process of registering and publicizing property, which was one of the problems of society, stressing that the reason for reluctance to register is the requirement for registered property, which is the reason for the repetition of customary contracts on the same property, and it was removed and this condition was canceled in the new amendments.
