Hi everbody

After talking to people on this forum and other forums i have put together a list of builders that i would like your input on.

I would like to know what you think about the builders and the more feed back the better for us, so we can make a choice of which ones we see when we are out in N/C at the end of feb about a off plan villa

All of these builders have been recomended to us by people on forums.

looking forward to your feed back.

1/ Ersoy construction

2/ Sydney construction

3/ Beydola estates and construction

4/ Royal crown estates

5/ Tenas construction



Thanks Paul

Hi Paul

Can't really comment on any of the above from personal experience but I do know that Beydola have been around for the longest in NC. Sydney Construction built the house next door to us. All bricks were laid flat (which is good), two coats of exterior paint went on, also good. They seemed to take a lot of care over what they did do and they kept the surrounding area clean whilst they worked and removed all of their rubbish from site on a daily basis.

Whilst I'm sure all your chosen list are excellent builders, if your anticipating building anywhere near east coast you don,t get better than New Villas International and Dovec Brothers and you should veiw their completed villas.

Having had many years of experience in development/construction and inspected both their sites several times both builders stand apart for the quality of build and materials used, combined with exceptional finish they continually achieve.

N.B apart from satified customer have no connection with either company.

We are having our villa built using Greatstone and they always reply to our emails and have kept us informed on the progress of our villa.

Who told you Beydola was a good builder?



At present he has 26 writs out on him and they are trying to move the business into Ufuk's name to avoid paying damages. Polar Foods are exempt as it'sa different company from the building side and under its own registered company.



Ersoy, Sydney, Tenas, Royal Crown. Great Builders. Great Stone, as mentioned bedfore, are building fanatastic villas all over the island for around £110,000 but........they've just signed a Sole Agency with Unwins. It's up to you if you want to deal through them.

How Can That Be ?



Unwins are NOT on the Approved Estate Agents list - so they allegedly cannot sell any properties - anyone know why ?

ABAG,



Neither are 99%, or even 100% of the English run Estate Agents and they're still trading and until they say "Times up, all contracts must goto the Land Registry from a certain date, or any agreement entered into is at your own risk", then the present system will prevail.



By the way, on the list are companies I've never even heard of!

So basically what you are saying is, that if you now buy in the TRNC and do not use one of the approved estate agents, any agreement entered into will be nil and void?

Hi Paul

as you know Tenas built our property and we are delighted, Karen AKA as orangekazzie mentions the property next door to her home built by Sydney Construction and yes I agree with her comments looks a lovely place.

Hey Jarra,



How's it going mate, long time since I've seen you posting here.



How's life out in Esentepe?



Will check with you when weve set a date for our next visit. we'll check to see if our dates correspond and w'll go for a beer. Will be good to see you again.



We will be out sometime during the next few months. Our Villa is just about to complete the shell.



Best wishes



Steve

Bradus,

Not nul and void totally, but if you have a problem in the future don't go running to the PCO to try and help. The courts will be your only solution.

TimothyCadman, hi, i was the one who recommended Ufuk. I had a large very nice villa built and completed in 8 months. Full snaggin completed and no issues. All paperwork completed timely and no problems, hence recommendation. Although from your comments, yes, perhaps this should be questioned. PaulKay, I would refer the above to Ufuk if you are put off by TimothyCadman comments and ask him re: this. I certainly will.

Cheers

Hi, I can recommend a guy called Ali Yemeneci from Tenas construction, my villa was built to very high spec and completed two months early, in less than one year from start to finish.

hi everyone,



as mcsteviet says on another thread,

do not rush things



these sort of lists are a brilliant idea and should be combined

with looking and mooching about, lots of recommendations and...

deciding what it is you really want to do, if anything!

that said it is the perfect time to look for property in nc

there is so much choice right now



sorry if I wander off the subject but we spent ten years

touring the med and completed four visits to north cyprus

before we even thought of a purchase here



it has gone quite well and we used a highly reputable firm

and we are in a unique setting

but still wish I had been aware of this brilliant forum earlier

paulkay I would strongly recommend our deveveloper seaterra

yes you did say you were going to get a villa off-plan

(any particular reason why it has to be off-plan?)



if you change to an apartment seaterra are not the cheapest

but specialize in 24-hour security

and have really worked hard to do the best for us



beset with some builders problems plus the dreaded word kibtek

they have re-credited us all with two months service charge

there are four or five of their sites on the island,

by and large, in areas of outstanding natural beauty

but the build quality varies a bit because they tend to use

a different firm for each project

plus many builders and estate agents seem to have their ups and downs...

and what one client may take in their stride can drive another beserk



do let us know how you get on and what you decide

if we live long enough to retire (the wife says I must work till I drop dead)

a villa would be really nice

Sydney Construction has one of the best reputations on the Island. His office is based is Karakum. He will take you around his sites and show you the quality of workmanship.

We had a place built in Ozankoy by Zafer (owner of Sydney Construction) no problems at all, Finished to a very high spec.



Good Luck

Can we just add, Beydola builds to your requirements, not estates to choose on...hence, you get built what you want where you want to your spec and you make stage payments. so no issues.

Greatstone Construction. I am adding an entry on this forum to highly recommend this builder to anyone wishing to purchase a property in Northern Cyprus. Tash, the builder, and his equally able sister/assistant, Reyhan, will go to great lengths to accommodate any changes/requests in your new build. With the added important advantage that they both are fluent in english which goes a long way in assurance that what you are asking for is being understood. All that is requested is put in writing, signed and both parties receive a copy for their records. All I have requested has been carried out exactly. The quality of Greatstone's houses is beautiful. I have just returned from a very enjoyable two week visit, during which my wife and I chose tiles etc, and Tash and Rehyan accompanied us when required and the superb hospitality showered on us by Tash, Rehyan and all the workers we came across on our many visits to the site made us very confident that the finished product will be something we will be proud to live in. A dream come true.

Our developer is Tierra Construction, located near Peace Monument - lovely couple (Turel and Alev) no complaints so far. Anyone else had any dealings with them?
