Just had an update from me mate out in NC. He visited the site yesterday and says quite a few blocks look completed or close to being completed to this stage (can't quite believe it myself). He also says that they look as though they are marking out the areas for the pools and landscaping. Things are progressing nicely it seems.



He also sent us photos of our apartment, if anyone is interested in seeing them let us know and we wil attempt to put them on the MSN site for you.

Hi Keith



We were on site 2 weeks ago and yes there was lots of activity, especially on our penthouses ( block 1 L&R.selling one hopefully) so not too surprised when today we were asked for big payment. They do look very good and view from the roof spectacular.

Hi all

Just back from north cyprus, superb two week holiday vistied CBM site three times ,building work seems to be progressing very well. there were lots of workmen on site even at weekends. Visited the eagle nest bar and restarant which is just opposite the CBM site it turned out the owner is buying an apartment on CBM A6. Worth go for a drink and chat as he is keyed up on the up to date prices for CBM. The owner has got two or three photo albums of the wild flowers and animals of the area. Got chance to look at two or three furniture packages but we are not very impresssed , so decided to pick our own furniture and curtains after the handover. We visited quite a few shops and these three Fiskos Home design, Mermaid fabics and furniture, and Aysels at Alsancak and these three stood out for good quality furniture at very competive prices.

We met the owner of Aysels when we were there last time-very genuine lady and her furniture is competetively priced(much to the annoyance of other shops) and exceptionally nice.

She was holding an exhibition when we met her, and she had nearly sold out!

Tony,

Nice to have you back its been a little quiet on here lately. Did you take any photos of the site when you were out there and is so are you able to post them for us to see how its progressing.



We went to the eagles nest when we were last over its a nice friendly place with great views and not to far from our site - I would say it could become our local - staggering distance home.



Thanks for the info regarding furniture we wil visit shops you mentioned when next over.



Chris thanks for your comments to. Very helpful.



Keith and Sarah.

Hi all

Second week back at work ,Cyprus seems a long way away but its given us time to reflect about or visits to CBM. Firstly the construction work seems to be progressing at high speed the turkish workforce appear to be living on site. The work seems to be of a very high standard and on talks with the foreman he seems confident they will be finished off site by the end of the year. Whilst we were in Cyprus we visited four other building developments and CBM seem to shine out well above the others in postition, to the road and sea and the entrance road probably hundred per cent better than any other development. We also got chance to view the landscaping on other Evergreen sites and would be very happy for the same standard on CBM site. Just one other thing if anybody is going out to Cyprus in the new year Monarch airlines have got a good sale on from Manchester to Laranaca at £193-96 for two people return, on a Saturday flight. Hopefully on this visit we hope to buy the furniture for the apartment.

hi all

Yes it has been very quiet lately. Not much to do but save the money up Its difficult not really Knowing what the final price for the apartments with the add-ons i.e., electric and water connection communal chargers will be. Decided not to buy any furnishing until all other bills are paid .Hopefully we will be in a position to furnish the apartment when we go over in march next year for the coming summer. Hope to stop at the ship inn have read some excellent reports about the hotel plus they have a indoor pool which could be very useful so early in the year .afraid cant help with the border crossing hell we could not find the crossing in Nicosia with three maps. Any pictures off the site would be most welcome hopefully this time next year the complex and the beers will be up and running

Hi all dont know if this helps at all, but i bought on CBV from evergreen and if your costs are anything like ours you will be looking at around £6000 in extra costs before you will be given your key. Thats how it worked out at CBV electric connection was around £1500 water deposit £500 landscaping/pool furniture £1000 vat £2000 and then there is the first years payment to lynx for maintenance, another £1000. Hope this helps, it was a bit of a shock to me when i moved, because i had not been told, its better to know and be prepared.Geoff.

Tony,

There was no request for VAT payment with the email, but I believe it is due on transfer of title.

I will let you know.



Are you still having problems uploading photos on msn site?

Tony,

Possibly a misunderstanding on my previous post.

We paid 5% VAT to Evergreen on final payment, however there is also 3% land registry to pay on transfer of deeds, which is now due.

Our advocate also wants another £400 to transfer deeds to our names!

Hopefully this is the end of payments, my money tree at the back of the garden is looking very poorly.

Hi gd427man ,we were there on cbm dev in June this year and have been told completion of site ,pools etc will be finished around December 2008 and then we will be able to pay final payment to Evergreen and have possession of our keys. I am buying b5 ground floor left and the apartment is finished when when we were there in June 2008.Excellent standard of finish no complaints, and brillant view and a foreman on site who speaks good english and very helpful.

hello gd427man



i am also a new member



i have A10 pl and was out there in May. I had a look in a few apartments and i would not think that you would be able stay in them. I would not think you would have water or electric for a start.

i am also out there in september and staying in an apartment next to the Moulos Inn, which is virtually across the road.

Be nice to meet up one day for a drink or two to discuss being "neighbours"

Hi all



just come back from CBM to check on Block B9 and am very impressed with the quality, location and decor...as good as anything on the Kyrenia coast road.



On the site they seem to be concentrating on the access roads and some blocks to the front, rear and left of the proposed swimming pool/ restaurant area (still chalk marks in the rubble!).



I spoke to the owner of the Eagles Nest restaurant, located on the cliffs directly in front of CBM, who was equally impressed with the quality. Apparently, he used to own the CBM land and now has four CBM apartments!



I shall be uploading some photos and perhaps a short video in the near future.



Regards



Tony
