Here's the photos of the aircon unit for the middle bedroom as fitted by F & J for those wanting something to retreat to from the summer heat. They've managed to fit it on the outside wall rather than have it sitting on the balcony taking up valuable room, cost £240.

Andrew Cowley, who is the contact for F & J can be reached on : -



andrewcowley2845@gmail.com



if you would like one as well. Its a small bedroom and if you close the window to keep the mozzies out, could be sweltering.



This as the first message of the continuation from the previous thread, I'd be happy if you could follow on from here.



Cheers

Okay.. thanks.. I'll just email him again.



Do you know of any new progress with the apartments?? The last I spoke to Ilker he pretty much guaranteed the apartments and phase will be completely by the end of this month! I guess we can live and hope!

Does anyone know of what further progress has been made to the interior of the blocks in Phase two? Have external doors been fitted? Is there only activity on the site itself and not the apartmetns themselves/ Any update would be appreciated.

Well I got news today that my flat which is in block 4 is pretty much complete. I have all my kitchen units in, all the tiles have been done, my wardrobs are in and my bathroom is finished. I also got news that block 4 has been painted green which I wasn't too happy about, but very excited that there is progression. I think all that is missing at the mo is the front door.



If anyone else knows of any progress please let us know. Also, if anyone has seen the colours please give some feedback as I would have pref the plain cream!!!

Thanks Gailforce, I have to agree about the colours. The kitchen units were in place in early April but no bathroom equipment. The worktops were not fitted and no external doors were fitted to the apartments. So hopefully this is progress. Again, thanks.

I know stickle the colours are rather disappointing! The whole point of buying in phase two was because we liked what we saw in Phase one!! Oh well as long as there is progression I am happy..



Is there anyone who has actually moved into their properties in either phase one or two? Phase two I doubt but I thought I would ask anyway. As my feedback is just from what I have been told and not really seen??

I was also told that the apartments are going to be different colours than of phase 1 and the name instead of being called 'neapolitan' they told me they are going to be "The Rainbow Residence' and guess who is running the maintenance etc 2 blokes named 'Bungle' and 'Zippy' .

Greetings Gailforce,



Not that I’m always here in WWW3, yours being WWW4, if there’s anything you need to know about progress of Phase 2, then just ask.



On the basis I kept photos going back to 2005 of Phase One, like every month, based upon adverse experience, “Welcome to the Land of Kavanlar and the Living Dead”, I checked my photographic records.



The current stage of Phase two, is liken to Phase One 30/07/2007.



Move in, habitable date, was 01/11/2008.



This should give you some idea as to when, if ever, you finally take finished delivery.



Imagine, a simple thing, like internal lights for the common areas, has only taken 9 months, but finally 20/05/2008, there is now water in Phase One’s pond.



Happy Days.

Hi,

I as told by Ilker that phase 2 would be complete, first in march then April and then the end of May. The estate agent said that he would hang himself if the apartments were not complete by the end of July. Looks like he might have too.

I would also have been happier with the same colour as phase 1. However right now a true completion date would be great.

Hi everyone,

I am moving into Block 5 in September. We arrive in Cyprus at the end of July and will be staying at the Riverside until our furniture arrives. We have decided to take the plunge and move out there permanently. I am married with 2 kids, ages 14 and 12. I would love to hear from anyone who is doing the same as us. Glad to hear there is finally water in the pool.

Hi Gailforce



How did you get to know about the recent progress including bathrooms being fitted. We have being e-mailing Ilker and also Hulya to request a completion date so that we can plan leave from work, book flights and get REALLY excited!! We have not had any response.



We would really appreciate photos from anyone or up to date info. We are also concerned about the colours and think that it may be some kind of wind-up.



Do anyone have any alternative e-mail address for Ilker apart from the Kavanlar@superonline?



This site is our lifeline at the moment!

Hi Lem,



We are in phase 1, we bought in January when we were on holiday. Apparently it was the last apartment in that phase. We later heard that someone had backed out, couldnt get a mortgage. Dont know whether we have been ripped off with the price,seems the apartments are selling for £58,000, we paid a lot more than that. When we questioned the price they said it was because the apartment was finished and we didnt have to wait like the other phases.

Sorry about those last 2 duplicates. There must be an echo in here.



By the way, to all on Phase 2.



As you are owners, once you have all bought your apartments in a block, so long as you all agree on a colour and share paying a painter, you can decide to have it painted whatever colour you like.

Hi all,

Cant wait to get out there,we have been so busy sorting everything out at this end for the big move. We are moving into apartment 2,block 5, so maybe some of you might be my close neighbours. We are flying out on the 25th July and staying at the Riverside, but will be calling at the apartment to sort things out before the furniture arrives. Anyway I am looking forward to meeting you all and maybe we can get together for a drink or two.

For your information there are children playing in the pool today and the adults are enjoying a beer and a chat. Looking forward to seeing you all enjoying the same when you arrive.



Can I just mention that the colour of phase 2 appears to be just green, they have painted approx half. Looks like the different colours painted in strips on a few walls were for decision making only. It is a pastel green and not garish. It amuses me at the quick wit of you lot - Neapolitan - good one Lem. Lamp posts have now been erected and they are tiling around the pool area but the inner pool has not yet been tiled.

Hi Janann,



Thankyou for taking the time to update on phase 2. Externally, would you say just the inside of the pool, main doors and painting are left to be completed? Is the gazebo/bandstand up yet?



We still haven't had responses from Ilker. Did he just contact people on Phase 1 to say your apartment is ready, did you have to pester or did he give you notice to plan?



Regards

Pester is not the word, hounded more like it but we moved here in May last year so we made his life hell until we could move in. They are tiling the gazebo area so the gazebo will not be built until they have finished. Had a nosey from our roof and could see that a couple of the blocks do infact have the main entrance door fitted. Road still to have tarmac layed then it will be pretty tidy. Should not have a problem having white goods/furniture delivered to site now.

I'd like to second Jan's comment. Ilker will only move unless he has you on the phone every few days. Keep it light and good humoured but keep it persistant, he will respect you for it.



If he says the carpenter/plumber/electrician is going in next Wednesday, ring on Tuesday to "confirm" by way of reminder.

Hi HP sorry haven't been on the forum for a couple of days. I bought my apartment off a developer who has 3 blocks in phase 2 - she works closely with Ilker and the site owner, she has been able to hurry the whole thing along for us and has been great. We get all our info from her as she is always in contact.



From all the feedback on the forum looks as though things are going smoothly at the moment and hopefully will be completed soon.



Janann thank you for all you insight. We are due out in July 22nd - we are hoping to stay in our flat. Do you think it will be finished or will I have to stay in a hotel? Hoping to order the furniture from over here in London and they my husband will be coming out end of June to get the water and elec connected.. anyone know time frame for connection, do you have to apply first and then wait. Have heard many different things.

Hi Gailforce. You are in the lap of the gods with the electric. You could be one of the lucky ones who gets a meter within a few weeks after paying your installation fee but many have waited months due to the lack of meters on the island this year. Our water meter was fitted within a couple of weeks. The picture will be clearer when your husband visits at the end of June. Your site is farther advanced than phase one when we moved in. You should not have much trouble booking in a hotel at the last min if needed.

Hi there, High Priest.



No reply from either one infamous Ilker or Hula, whether by phone, Bush Telegraph, or E-Mail.



The only time you will hear from either, is when they want money.



Never Mind, keep your Pecker Up and as to Phase two, they are now painting, green, the outsides, painting over (green) all the unpainted bits they missed before.



Unreal, they now have six sets of scafolding, absolutely unreal and paint in the Dark!!



This is progress indeed.



July, well, wishful thinking, but which year!!

Its not only that, Phase 2 is luminous! I heard they got the paint as a job lot from some nuclear power station somewhere.



Nothing like a nice green glow to liven up Alsancak at night!



Still it will save on installing perimeter lighting!

Does anyone have any idea when the large - and getting larger by the day - hole in the road on Phase 1 is going to be filled in? If it gets much deeper, we'll be able to visit Australia without bothering to buy an airline ticket. In my professional capacity as a soothsayer, I did foresee some time ago that anybody living round the back would need to purchase a 4 x 4 and I fear I am correct (as ever).

Just spoken to Ilker + he said all on phase 2 are finished apart from landscaping + pool. We have also had pictures today from Unwins of our apt 5 block 5 inside + out . External door on , sink in , extractor fan in , worktops on , everything looks good although no bathroom pictures . Ilker said the electrics are to be inspected 16 June + the government will take 2 weeks to complete . So he said booking 1st 2 weeks in July with 1st week in hotel to clean , deliver furn. + white goods + get water / elec meters should be fine , but I should ring him in 2 weeks to make sure . In fact he said ring him anytime . He also said that there is no shortage of meters anymore , but he won,t get one for us , we must go ourselves .
