A few more properties have been reserved on Sweetwater Bay only 2 villas and 2 bungalows left now not sure about the availability of apartments but as the site nears completion there should be more interest.

I've purchased a ground floor apartment but was really impressed with the penthouses.

The roof terrace area and the views from all of them will be truly spectacular and adds a further dimension to what are already fantastic apartments.

I think the reason they are selling slower is mainly because of the price.

Some of them are over £100,000 and for that money in some areas you can buy a small villa.

Another possible reason and its a contradiction on the great rooftop terrace is that some people may see it as a safety hazard for small children.

I just wish I'd had more money though.



If anybody is out there soon let me know how 123 GR's doing and a couple of new photos would be nice.

Take care.

Not sure about anyone else living there but many completions were promised by the end of September.Do we know if or how many have completed?? I am hoping to fit in a short trip soon but it will be whistle stop need to talk to a landscaper and look at the furntiture shops. We may not furnish on completion though as may decide to sell on we are so busy I cannot see that we will have time to use the villa. May even part exchange for an apartment on SWB or TB if someone wants extra space that a villa offers.

Hi all,



Rocky sorry to hear you may be selling up on swb??



I have read various threads on here for a while and as far as I understand you firstly need your ptp to be approved and once this comes through you can apply for title deeds for your property which swb have to do on your behalf.



Once you have your deeds then you can sell your property- until you receive deeds apparently you cant sell you property in NC unless you sell to a TC only??



So double check your options as this is quite complex?



Hope this helps take care d x

Rocky,



I think I speak for many in saying that we're disappointed that you may be selling. You seem to have a similar [slightly wicked] sense of humour. Don't quite understand why switching to an apartment at SWB or TB would solve the time problem. I certainly WON'T be doing any gardening. Ours will be landscaped for low [in yhis case read zero] maintenance. I'm certainly not visiting SWB for a spot of gardening!

Regards

Hi All not definitely decided to sell yet, just that life is very busy at the moment and we cant see how we can get the holidays we need in 2009. I understand you can sell your contract to a buyer and the buyer completes the contract so may be possible. Hopefully life will get a little less busy and if things get better and life easier we may be able to use the villa.

Hi Rocky/norths4me,

I don't think I'll be going out for a while so some pictures of 123GR would be nice.

It's gone past my completion date but that doesn't worry me at the moment as I'd rather keep my money in my bank account for now and they can take a little longer to finish off if they want (but not forever).

Rocky, I was having lunch with Sir Alan Sugar the other day and he's told me because of the credit crunch I'm to offer you £25,000 for your villa and to sell you my apartment for £500,000.

How does that sound?

Loby of course I will take a shap or two for you whilst I am there. My wife is unable to travel with me so I have asked Jennifer Lopez and Julia Roberts if they would like to share the villa I have booked. After all I need a woman to do the cooking and cleaning.Whilst Jenny is doing that Julia can do the washing and ironing.

Ill let Davina explain what shes done with the tiling.



Hi Sheila & Phill



I now have taken possesion of my flat but there still some snagging issues outstanding main one was the minor point of having the wrong kitchen put in. This was due to me changing my mind when i first chose apartments so my nieghbour has mine and vice versa have held back monies till work is rectified which is the responsibily of the builders who made the error in the first place.



Saying that my snagging list was smaller then Edith and andys who also snag so hopefully what i miss they get and vice versa. Im sure there are issues that i feel that are less/more important then others so i will leave up to the residents to decide the general workmanship which i am happy with bar the quality of the windows and doors which i feel the developers should have spent more money on.

Hi Steveie - Many thanks for the up-date - we commissioned a fully surveyor's report and he too noticed damage to the patio door frame - something that we hadn't even noticed. Once SWB have finished repairs etc. that Stuart Hillard has suggested, we have requested Stuart to do the snagging for us also.

Here's a snagging question for somebody.

When I looked at the showhouse shower I noticed that the plughole was the same fitting as the air vents in the wall and was non removable.

Now I'm not a plumber but surely that's not the correct fitting for a shower base!

In the UK they can generally be taken out to clean out all the fluff and hairs that build up.

As anybody noticed if it's the same in the finished properties?

Something to check out Rocky.

Sorry I have not posted recently but I have been away from my base on business and have been really busy.



When we were over in Cyprus recently we arranged to have some additional units installed, we organised the buying of the furniture, the bigger items anyway and we (my wife) also sorted out all the curtains, drapes and blinds etc.



We will not be back over until some time next year, maybe as late as Easter but I would just like to say that the site is coming along really well and I just hope it is not so hot the next time we are there.



Sorry to hear you may be selling your unit, but what ever you decide I would like to wish you the best of luck.



Cheers,



Alex.

Hi all,

Just returned from swb was hoping to have great visit until the sheep incident spoilt it !!!



Was driving along the main road past esentepe when an extremely large sheep stepped out onto the road straight out infront of our car!!

We had no time to stop and hit it full on!!

Unfortunately the sheep died and the car was an almost a write off- luckily we had seat belts on and the airbags worked instantly!!!

The farmer didnt speak english and we didnt speak turkish so the police arrived and we spent the afternoon at the police station!!

I cant THANK edith, andy and marco enough for their support and help they were our knights in shining armour who came to our rescue and if wasnt for them wed probably be in a NC jail by now!! WE ARE TRULLY GRATEFUL FOR THEIR HELP AND EFFORTS- THEY SAVED THE DAY !!!



Take care d x

Hi all,



Anyway apart from the sheep scenario...



SWB looks great and overall we are very impressed with the progress on site and the completion of out unit.



We met mike from rms briefly whilst he was busy unwraping and installing the gym equiptment onsite.



Sauna, communal shower/toilet area is completed and installed and they were also installing the jacuzzi whilst we was there which is big.



The pools are almost ready to be filled and the offices shops and one of the 2 sports courts are also complete now and the 2nd court is not far from completion either.



Phase 3 is really taking shape with most apartment blocks shells complete.

I appreciate that the site is coming on. However, until you get electricity and water, the properties can be as complete as they like, but no one can move in. We've asked RMS to sort our electricity connection, but there seems to be a stunning silence from SWB regarding when water will be available. I may try, but even I can't live by wine alone!!
