The name 'Model' does not exist in the current context ASP.NET MVC5
This error was probably caused by Resharper. We are a team of three developers using GIT. One of us installed Resharper, and this probably caused the error for the other two of us. When we installed Resharper trial it suddenly worked again. Unfortunately it isn't working when uninstalling Resharper again...
Try to add this section in system.web. (Make sure the versions i added are indeed the ones you are using)

Close the .cshtml view files. Rebuild the project. And open them again.
Un-installing the project MVC Nuget Package and Reinstalling it fixed it for me. Mine got botched when I changed the .net version of the project.
