If you want to get a good deal you are always better to shop in Famagusta or Nicosia (I know the Girne shopkeepers will disagree) prices are generally a lot cheaper and they will deliver, most things are now readily available and for the small accessories there is always the huge 1001 near to the airport or China bazaar in Nicosia close to the Metehan crossing, both will discount if asked.

Hi everybody,

I haven't got anything interesting or funny to say but Sweetwater Bay had dropped so far down I just wanted to bring it back to the top again.

Take care,

Hi guys n gals,



You can buy plug socket power surge protectors from argos and maplins- You need them for eveything electric that you will plug in kettles, lamps, tv etc!!!!!!



There are some links to argos catalogue sockets on the electric/fuse thread already!

Hi



For those of you who don't follow the general forum, someone has just posted the following message regarding the registration to Land Registry.



"I've spoken to my Estate Agent (by phone from the UK - free international landline calls to Cyprus through Talk Talk - not to mobiles though) who says that following representations from lawyers/estate agents; the government has agreed not to implement the 3 month rule for those contracts signed before 1/1/08. This was because of the hundreds of people all over the world who could not comply. Whether this is correct I (and it appears most people in TRNC) I know not"



Keith and I intend waiting to see what the final outcome will be as we thought that it wouldn't be possible to get all registrations done by 31 March - besides, a lot of you may be going out in April or later and can then register this yourself, without additional P of A, as I believe the cost to the Land Registry is YTL.47.

Hi Gang



I've now heard for definite that the TRNC Government has agreed that if your solicitor already has a Power of Attorney, you don't need a new one to be drawn up.



One of the gang has asked, if both husband and wife are purchaisng together, whether both parties need to be in NC if they do their own registration. If I find out, I will post again.

Hi all,



I have heard its the norm anywhere that if both husband and wife buy etc then both need to be there!



But if solicitor already has power of attourney then this should cover it to sign on behalf of bothe of you!!



I am so happy we are finally getting somewhere now- So I can sleep at night again!

Hi everybody,

I can't really tell from the photo if the restaurant looks small but is that the swimming pool in the pool area photo?

It looks the right shape but it doesn't look very big or deep to me!

Is it in a big dip?

Anybody who's seen it in the flesh care to comment.

How's the site looking?

Hi all,



jakki its on the main construction page - scroll down it says restaurant above the picture!



Loby- The swimming pool size looks ok and from what I can make out on one of the photos it gets deep at one end as you can see the water puddle build up from where the water has slid down and gathered (if that makes sense??)



They still have a small circle baby pool to put in and over the other side the olympic sized half covered pool also ( I HOPE???)



But if the restarant needs to house a kitchen area and toilets then it looks on the small side to me!!!



But maybe thats just me being fussy as usual- I used to be a restaurant manager in london for 9 years!!



Take care-D

Hi all -



Just to let you know that we actually paid the Stamp Duty back in August. Looking into the fact about Registration (will have to go through paperwork!!). At our initial meeting with our solicitor we were given the option of paying Stamp Duty at a lower rate than what would be due on completion (although there was talk that Stamp Duty would be abolished). We chose to pay the lower amount.

Sorry about having to disagree yet again. Our solicitor in the TRNC is NOT a rip off. They charged us £1000. We originally bought C42, changed our minds, they had to redo all the paper work to C38. Later when we thought we wouldn't have the funds to proceed, we again asked for very lengthly legal advice. This was promptly sent to us with pages of explanation AND NO EXTRA MONEY WAS OR HAS BEEN CHANGED for any of the above.



We've taken the view that in most other European countries, charges above purchase price is approximately 15-20% - in the TRNC it's 8-10% including solicitors' fees. Personally, Keith and I are so grateful to have found such a beautiful and inexpensive place for our litle money.



Maybe we should all take a deep breath and have a little think before putting postings on the forum. People are getting immoderate and in some cases down right offensive.

Hi Milou



It is nice to hear that you have had a good experiance with you law firm and also very reassuring.



A lot of people are annoyed because they have paid more money than you have quoted and then are been asked to pay approx £150 more than most other Lawyers are quoting to register their sales contract WHICH SHOULD be the responsibility of the Vendor and not the purchaser. Also after reading through a lot of forums it seems to be only one firm that is charging this fee.

Instead of looking after their clients and advising us not to pay and putting pressure on Vendors we are seen as soft touchs with deep pockets of which I am neither

Hi all,



I too appreciate everyones comments and some peoples situations are different from others!!



The issue I have is that I was not previously informed of the stamp duty scenario- along with many others!



The frustaration of never being able to contact your solicitor and get staright answers or facts to any queries we have!!



Milou you are right in many respects and I love you too bits so dont take this the wrong way - But unfortunately alot of people out there have not been as fortunate as yourselves with their choices of legal representation!!



I commend you as you seem to have had a stress free purchase so far todate -But alot have not been as fortunate unfortunately!!



Take care all-D

Hi Gang



For those of you that don't read the main forum, I've just emailed the Land Registry Office to ask two questions:



Are we likely to be given an extension of time beyond 7th April?



Is it likely that purchase contracts will have to be rewritten in Turksih?



This is the answer I got back within 5 minutes of writing - hows that for EFFICIENCY!



DEAR MOIRA HUNT,



THANK YOU FOR CONTACTING US. THERE ISN'T ANY CERTAIN DECISION ABOUT THE EXTENSION OF TIME BY GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS YET. AT THE MOMENT THERE ISN'T SUCH REQUIREMENT OF TRANSLATING THE AGREEMENTS IN TURKISH.

Hi



For those of you that don't read the main forum, someone has just confirmed that stamp duty will only be 0.5 percent -

Regards



Great news.... I have just been advised by my Estate Agent that the tax office has decided to charge 0.5% stamp duty on ALL contracts. This means that if your contract was signed prior to this year, you still only pay 0.5% stamp duty, and not the 1.5% or 0.7% that has previously been mentioned!

Just returned from NC - we visited the site on three occasions and were most impressed with what the work force had done in those three days. The site is a hive of activitiy with lorries and materials being delivered. It may be old news now but your contract has been translated into Turkish before registration can take place.

Hi All-



Has anyone heard anything about the beach being cleaned up!! It may have been estate agents talk when we first visited the site, was told that whole of the beach was going to be dug over with imported sand being put down. Arthur (B18) said he and Dorothy had been down the beach and filled up many bags full of rubbish. I said we would be willing to help, Arthur said it should take only take half a day if some of us got stuck in. Does anyone else have any news on the subject?

Last time I spoke to SWB about a month ago they said it would be cleaned up and some sand was being imported to lay on the beach!



But whether it materialises or not time will tell??



I hope so though- although the beach is still naturally beautiful!!



Ill remeber to take some black bags and a pair of marigolds with me on my visit so I can help for a few hours- I dont mind!!

Just to let you all know on the subject of power surgers, we are taking out:



Two APC Line-R 1200 watt automatic voltage regulators (one for the PC and ancillary equipment and the other for the TV and hifi) for brownouts and over- voltages. These are available on Amazon but note that they CANNOT BE USED for equipment with AC motors such as fridges. Also note they need EU Line plugs and sockets (like you have on a PC). These are available from Maplin.



For spikes and surge protection, we are taking out Belkin SurgeCubes for each individual socket. These can be obtained from Amazon.

Hi Jakki not so much hiding from the winds but panicking about the amount of packing we're having to do - I thought we were supposed to downsize. Re the satellite dish, we've heard via other people that the satellite is a non starter due to costs. I heard the quote was for £200.000. It may not be too bad after all as all the apartment blocks do have a space on the roof where dishes can be placed out of sight where there's a hollow space on the roof. Also contrary to the 5 metre dish story, B18 have installed a 60 cm dish in their bungalow and I suspect the villas will be able to do the same.

Hi, has anyone registered their contract at the Land Registry Office themselves. We are going to N C in a few days so have the choice of us or the solictor. Not sure if we might have problems so would welcome any advice.

A few people on the main forum have successfully done it themselves and we also intend to do it ourselvs but it will be after you - see your attorney first to obtain all the relevant documents for you to do it.

Good luck.

Yeah - it's quite easy - as Milou says go to see your solicitor for the relevant documents, we tried to register when we were in NC last month, the staff are very friendly, we couldn't register ours because the law had changed 30 minutes beforehand stating all contracts now have to be in Turkish. There is a fee around 45 ytl - the Land Registry 'Tapu' is to the left of the Court House.

There are new pics on the SWB site!!

hello All,



Just seen new pics on site looks fab. Would love to know who my nieghbours will be. Im buying 115gf left, have 3 children between 3-12 and will be using it mainly for long holidays. I know it sound like an AA meeting but half the reason i bought on a complex is to meet fellow residents who in my previous experiance made the holiday even better.



looking forward to hearing from you

Amazingly theres a couple on the site who have taken occupation already, wouldnt worry about the site photos last time they went on about 3 days later. saying that If the flat got finished in time with still a bit of sun sept/october would be tempted to complete early.

judging by the forums i do like the sound of quite a few residents who will be moving in permanantly, rather then the complex being used as purely holiday homes. Im hoping someone will volounteer to keep an eye on the development for a small fee of course.

Hi all,



Everyones come out to play tonight thats good!!



With the pickies Id watch the site the next few days as Ive found on the odd occasion previously that they dont add them all on in one day but for some reason tends to happen over a few days!!



Also it would be nice like youve said to see some more of the pool etc aswell??



Quite a few people are retiring to SWB and milou and hubby should be out there soon as I think theyre leaving on tuesday and heading to NC for good!!



As for yaov- unfortunately Ive upset him at the moment so I wont ask him anymore questions right now and Ill let him cool off for a bit!!!!



Take care-d x

Hi guy's, interesting reading developments on this site which is over the ravine from the TBB development which I have an apartment being built. Your site is really taking shape - how exciting ! Do you have a maintenance contract established as it's an outstanding matter on TBB ??

Hi richy,



The scoop is that SWB handle the site management for 6 months aftre completion!



Then its down to the residents at SWB to find and instruct a suitable company to manage the site on our behalf i.e rental management, maintenace, shop ,office, restaurant and bar etc!!



We are in the process of setting up a Residents association ( RA) to deal with this so we are not left in the lerch when SWB finish the 6 months management for us!!



Take care-D
