Hi all,



No- But still looks like its coming on pretty quickly!!!!



Im going out in 5 weeks but Im sure by then alot of properties will be almost complete- as its starting to look that way already!!



Last may I went to SWB and all they had was the show apartment 3 villa shells and the shells of 2 apartment blocks- one being my own!!



Im secretly hoping that mine will be almost finished by the time I go out as when I spoke to SWB about a month ago now they said they had done the tiling and were starting to install the kitchen units and bathroon suites !!



SO EXCITED!!!



Take care all-D

Hi andrew,



It doesnt matter now anyway as SWB are not doing it as its too costly and timely to do!!!



But what I have discivered is that the individual satellite system wont be as bad as we all originally thought!!



As its come to light that only 60cm dishes are needed now instead of the 1.5 metre dishes that we originally thought that was needed for each property!!



And also that there is a vacant roof area which has be designated to hold the dishes which is out of sight and out of mind!!!



Also I have been told through the grae vine that the dishes for villas and bungalows will be fixed to the sides of properties so it doesnt obstruct others sea views etc!!



But unfortunately I didnt find the good news about this until after I upset SWB regarding some sensitive issues!!



But all in all- Better news than we expected so we can all sleep again at night!!!!



take care-D

Hello all, I have just been looking at the new pictures on the web site the pool area looks like it is going to be fantastic, very clever how it drops down a level makes it feel

secluded. I also think the development has a village feel about it rather then a complex.



Looking forward to seeing it develop over the next few months



With Regards

Hi everybody,

Just came back from a week in North Cyprus on Friday, weather good during the day, a little nippy a night but pleasant enough.

SWB is coming on nicely, the pool, (no tiles), was being filled to check for leaks, the gym area was having it's stone cladding put on, walls were being built, the shops were looking good, all in all you will be very pleased with the progress.

Met some nice people there who were buying as well, so it's looking good, though a little behind schedule I would say but not much.

This next bit is important for those people doing their own land registry, we queued five hours at Girne to find that SWB needs to be registered in Magusa at the Tapu office there.

There was no queue there though and we did it in about ten minutes and it also cost less, about 31.60 YTL saving us over £300.

So anybody doing it themselves take note.

All the best,

Loby.

Well done Loby - we're unable to get to NC until June here's hoping that they extend the registration deadline date beyond 30th April - otherwise we'll have to pay the £350. fee but hey!! Perhaps you could give directions though for the Tapu at Magusa - thanks

Hiya everybody,



Heather has spoken to Moira this week over there. So all is well. I don't have any gossip though but that she couldn't get photos of what I wanted as there was so much work going on over there and she would have had to wear a hard hat!!! She says it is all progressing really well.



I didn't realise there was a deadline to register contracts. Do you just pick up the original contract from the solicitors and are they supportive of this action?

Hi Gaynor -



What we did in February was to go to our solicictor (Naomi Mehmet - but her assistant Askin is handling our case - very good looking I have to say girls!) - they are wonderful we turned up without an appointment and they gave us the necessary documents. When we attended at the Tapu in Girne they told us that the law had changed 30 mins beforehand that contracts had to be in Turkish - well as you know the law has been reserved - staff are very friendly and helpful wherever we went anyway to be honest. It sounds llike Loby's experience was an easy one. Anything else I can help you with - don't hesitate to ask. Gaynor are you a neighbour? - we're C34 - Jackie

Hi jakki,

On the Lefkosa-magusa road into Magusa you come to an island, turn right, go across the next island and turn right before the old hospital and the Tapu is on the left with the old train in front. Easy to find, one small problem was they didn't speak English very well but O.K. to do the job. They kept the original contract though which was a surprise.

Somebody has said they did theirs in Girne but they wouldn't do ours that's why we went to Magusa because SWB comes under Magusa district (it's written at the top of the contract).

Loby.

Hi, we have just spent a week in NC, spent the week pricing up curtains and furniture. the weather wasnt the best though so it was ok. The site is looking really good although still loads to do. We are really pleased how ours is looking. We also registered the contract in Magusa ourselves, it was really easy. (long queues in Girne though). Cant wait for ours to be finished now so that we can go back.

I know what you mean but we were over in Feb. and saw so much going on particularly with our villa - but we just thought after a month that our villa would really haved moved on - of couse, SWB will not commit to dates re. work schedules ie. date for tiling etc. but have told us to keep asking for 'up-dates' this is not acceptable and after the week-end we'll press for dates surely they must know when works will be completed, what we don't want to do is to book flights for, say, some time in June only to find that our villa isn't ready and don't want to waste money on hotels - I mean why should we when we have paid for a villa? It really has left us in limbo do we book flights or not?Watch this pace!!

I do not think Phase 2 will be complete by May more like late June early July which is still pretty good. It is frustrating though if you are trying to book flights for the summer.



Jakki since we first started the purchase process I have contacted Yoav on several occassions asking for dates of completion for the various stages of build to help me manage my finances. He has been excellent and always replies very quickly and so far his estimated timescales have been spot on.

Just some info for GR apartment owners.

I've purchased a ground floor right apartment and I hadn't noticed when I'd been out before but the GR units have a fantastic storeroom in the courtyard space, this is almost the size of a small room. It will be perfect for storing all your bits and pieces.

I don't think the GL have this but I maybe wrong.

I cant see Phase 2 being completed until the autumn and Phase 3 (those sold early 09) how many are complete in Phase 1 in fact how many are completed at all, it looks like one totally completed and lived in with temporary services, We all have to be patient and hope in this financial climate that SWB is well financed. It is not a british registered limited company at companies house. I do feel sure they want to complete a prestigious development (if they can) as there was talk of a further development elsewhere.

The development is backed by an Israeli company so therefore will not be registered as a British limited company. Overall if the development is running behind I'm not to bothered as long as the finish is good which so far it appears to be. I still feel that Phase 2 will be ready June/July. Phase 1 I think they made a mistake on completion dates.



Also with the finance aspect you will be aware of this as an ex banker, in the UK it is very rare to be allowed to get stage payments for any development, most developers have to complete their building get a completion certificate from building control and also NHBC before they can get ANY money from the purchaser. Sweetwater are getting payments as the build of each unit progresses and they are backed by a major International company so for the moment I am happy

Hi Jakki

Don't wish to put a dampner on it but if your windows aren't in yet I wouldn't hold out much hope of the place being finished in the next 4 weeks. There is a lot of internal stuff to do once the windows are in.

HI N4me, Which major international company is backing them? If one has a property built in the Uk the purchase/contract with the builder is often in stage payments but not on multi developed sites I agree. I think the development looks good but as I said I am going out next week I do think we all need to be patient. It would be nice if SWB decided to landscape the plots where they are not building even nicer if they gave them to us all at SWB to develop or sell on later!!

Just came back from SWB. Still a lot to do but improving. How the problem of generator for the electricity inside the unit will be resolved? They will include only generator for common parts. does a local municipality one exist? Should we put one small each on our property and make the place unliveble?

Why no will to resolve the issue of the satellite dish in commun? Will we have a lot of small dish mashrooms growing on the roofs, gardens, etc? Where is the maintenance contract that governs all this? Will any owner be allowed to bring in any animal (cats, dogs, elephant, giraf, crocodile, rino, etc.) or all of them will be forbidden? If not, who decides? If yes, what kind of insurance they should have? Who controls it?

Any opinion will be welcome.

hi bermuda . nice place bermuda been several times my sister runs her own company over there north cyprus a bit layed back like bermuda. i will coment only on the issue of the communial satellite system as i know whats involved i own my own company that installs these systems in blocks of flats etc. the main reason is cost theyve had quotes in the region of £200000.00GBP so its a none starter. secondly they left it to late it should have had ground ducts for the cable to run to the many street head ends that would have to be built and this would have been a major issue for some ressidents if one was put at the side of your property! everyone will need there own dish.showtime of nilesat all in english and only needs a 60cm dish so its no big issue regards andrew

Hi all,



Unfortnately deadlines are always there to be broken and this always happens in the construction industry as delays etc happen!!



All I can say is be careful when planning holidays etc as at the end of the day deadlines will be missed whereever you are??



We have been told that there is void roof space allocated in the apartment blocks for satellite dishes to be installed and villas and bungalows will have them installed on the sides of their properties!

The dishes are now only 60cm as that is all we need and that dishes will not be installed on roofs as to not obstruct others views!!



One dish system worked out too expensive and tiime consuming so that was a no go in the end!!



Take care all-D

We have contacted Yoav but no response, which I know is unusual, can only guess that he is on holiday?! We are now just going to kick back and relax a bit more when the villa is ready, it's ready! Going on holiday soon anyway - but just wanted to get in and buy the furniture etc. for the villa. It can wait - when we were over in NC we did notice Arthur and Dorothy's satellite dish on their roof it didn't obstruct anyone's view and it couldn't be seen - thank goodness. Don't think we'll get a dish though I can understand people living out there wanting to watch tv but we're not great fans anyway. I understand from Moira that all things medical will be stated in the Residents Association Memo. I suppose we'll sort this out when we've all moved in. I know that Davidoff has all the infor. Thanks

Copied message from Elko on an earlier posting not sure if its still relevant perhaps Elko could advise





KDV (VAT)



Cyprus Today article on KDV is misleading and wrong. KDV was introduced in 1992 by law number 47. So how can the paper talk about a law dating back to 1959?



Message posted by Elko



I have seen the directive sent out by the Tax Office to accountants asking for the KDV to be paid when the lkeys are handed over and this directive was based on law 47/1992 temporary parag. 1(2). This parag. referred to buildings started before the passing of this law and authorized the tax office to deal with KDV for part of the building constructed after the passing of this law. Thus it has nothing to do with collection of KDV at the time the keys are handed over and thus this directivre has no legal basis and is null and void.

Hı Gang



Keıth and I arrıved ın NC after some wonderful adventures en route. We,re totally fallen ın love wıth thıs ısland and spend our tıme watchıng blue skıe, blue sea and green mountaıns. I also can't stop buyıng all the wonderful fresh fruıt and veg and have gıven up beıng vegetarıan ın consıderatıon of the qualıty of meat I'am buyıng!

I've had a quıck read through the forum and want to reassure everyone that SWB ıs SIMPLY SPECTACULAR - FAR MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN I IMAGINED - the archıtect should be awarded DESIGN OF THE YEAR.



The satellıte dısh proved too expensıve and we have dıscovered that we all only need 60 centımetres dıshes whıch can be hıdden ın the apartments, vıllas and bungalows.



The delay at SWB ıs not much behınd schedule (understand SWB have a 3/4 month delay clause) - our vılla was suppposed to be complete at the end of May but we thınk we'll be ın by the end of June (one month behınd schedule).



Concerns about the company ıs unfounded - IVE SEEN THE QUALITY OF BUILD - furthermore B18 has now been occupıed for four months WITH NO LEAKS AND NO DAMP. Keıth and I are very relıeved that we landed wıth thıs company.



There wıll bo no communal amenıtıes thıs year but mostly everythıng should be complete by the end of next year May.



Ive also seen the chart at SWB offıce and sales are very strong and I am now confıdent that most of the unıts wıll be sold by the end of May 2008.

Great to hear from you and glad you and Keith had a safe and exciting trip.

I will be out on Tuesday next week so will catch up with you both at some point.



I think that Sweetwater should employ you as their PR rep as your enthusiasm is infectious

Its wed night (16th)got back from SWB the development looks good although 2/3 months behind schedule, thats far better than other developments we looked at!! With the economic climate I wonder why peole are risking reserving plots elswwhere where there is little or no progress!!! We pulled out of one planned for Bahcelli in Jan 07 it is still a plot of land with a few pegs so watch out folks its SWB for us. The site is very very dusty so I am glad we elected for phase 3 . We tried to meet the existng residents(Arthur & Dorothy)but they must have seen us coming they either hid or went out!! We did meet Yoav and Alan and Edith and they are all working hard I assure you. The people and restuarants are fabulous but I hate the journey even by taxi from Lanarca its Ercan next time or the new airport our friend Asil is developing!!!OK the orange moby worked ok this year an improvement on Jan 07.

Hi Jackie,

Yes I am the one you emailed so kindly last week. Diane says hello as we were with her on our whirlwind trip over the weekend.



Its all a bit new at the moment but we are calming down and looking forward to seeing everything come together.



Is there an actual Sweetwater Bay owners club yet? Mind you Essex is only across the water from us in Kent so maybe a meet this side would be good too.

anyone got any views on this. we have bought an appartment no 133GL we were the second people to purchase in this block of four in november scince then another unit as been sold leaveing only one penthouse to remain unsold. if you click on our plot number on the website it lists the three as sold but next plot to ours 132 two are listed RESERVED and have remained so scince november. how can they remain listed as reserved ? you reserve by paying your reservation fee of £1000 gbp then have to pay your first payment shortly after then it shows on your plot number as sold. but these two plots 132GL and 132GR have remained in reserve state nearing six months . andrew

This forum was set up to help all prospective purchasers yet time and time again you get idiots like yips come on and give these stupid comments and not back up what they are implying.



Yips if you have something to say then please share it or shut up.

Im not sure about the reserved situ on 132. When we bought our apartment we put

the reserve fee down and then got cold feet and that dragged on for a good while, then we got our contract and were not happy with it so that got changed and then we wanted plans, build specification, site specification, warrants etc all of which was supplied to to us but it took several months till we were satisfied and paid our first payment. All that time our unit was reserved.
