There have now been over 300 postings regarding the Kavanlar Development on this Board. Part 3 has now reached 103 so I'd like to start again on Part 4 as scrolling down over a hundred messages is a real pain.



I realise that a lot of the posters have bought in Phase 2 and are quite bored by the Phase 1 owners chatting about how nice it all is now they can move in and the pool is finished etc.



To try and ease the pain I'm posting the latest Phase 2 photo fron Gailforce.

Don't forget, guys, Kav and I are about during the summer on site and we can try and help if there is something you need urgently sorting. You can always email me on: -

Thanks Kavenkoy for your reply to my question about the apts in other phases being some 15sm smaller than those in phase 1. (on the previous Kavenkoy thread) Got to say not happy about this, as I think it's quite a difference. Not really sure what we can do about this! Snagging would be too late.

Don't know why I keep saying we are buying on phase 5 when it's phase 4. Maybe you or Lem could tell us if there has been anything going on on this phase. Last time we were over last October we saw that the start of the footings were in, but since then havn't heard anything.

was over last week and more than footings now .blocks are up .



the talk is of phase 6 yes phase6 .

dont ask ,its somewhere next to 5 i believe of what neighbour told me .

they also demolished the house at entrance to phase2/3 .footings and shuttering work was directly going on at the back of phase2 so would suggest that could be 6?.



on 2 in the corner there is one block that faces the sea ,in between that and next block up is where the newest build is taking place .



we will all get hoodies to wear in the winter lol



kav



ps i didnt notice when looking around phase2 they were smaller ,a neighbout told me to go again and count the tiles .when i did i realised it was smaller buy think when you are in and furniture in place it be ok .

Hi



Phase 2 is smaller than phase 1 apartments , when i purchased mine in may 2006 , i went in to phase one apartments and actually measured the room sizes and then to the concrete pad in phase 2 where my apartment was and yes some of the rooms are a few tiles smaller. the rooms are still big though.

I still went ahead and bought because the apartments was what i was looking for and the quality finish etc.



Lemtich cheers for the update on phase 2 with Gailforces photo

Hi Brandysour



The photo in this thread is of the Phase 2 pools, there are 9 blocks of 6 apartments in this phase (54). On my posting of Kavanlar Apartments Alsancak Part 3, I posted photos taken by Kav last week showing the full pools on Phase 1. There are 6 blocks on this phase of 6 apartments (36).

just a word of warning.



Until you get your electric and water connected you cant finish your snaging list. I am in Phase 1 and we had cement bag paper blocking our water inlet pipe and all our water including 3X 10 tons we purchased went into the other flats tanks through the fire hose connection.



Our toilet flushes were faulty and we paid privately to have them upgraded and our water immertion had blown and we had to pay for a new one and have the fuses changed.

One last thing, the water inlet valve was stuck up with calcium build up and also had to be changed.

Thankfully Ilker paid for this after some bargaining.



beware.

Hi



Just a word about the toilet flushes, they are pants. They don't use the syphoning action like UK loos but some sort of release mechanism that lets the water out and then springs shut. Except that it doesn't, so you get a persistant trickle which wastes water or it locks tight and you can't flush. There is also a bidet function on these loos which you can turn on but the jet invariably shoots across the loo splattering water over the rim, I just turned them off in the end.



If there is going to be heavy usage, I'd recommend up grading them. Also, check your sink wastes for water leaks, they are fitted long before a water supply is available and may need adjusting.

Ebbern5, if you look at the photos there does not appear to be any pergolas on the roofs.



Thanks to Cooper and Lemtich for the photos.

Hi Lou,

Thanks for your advice about the board.On the pergodas do you think that they have not been fitted yet or that they do not intend to fit them on this phase.

Best Regards,

hi HP



water was a one off payment of 1000ytl paid direct to alsancak beledyier,upstairs and you require copy passport ,copy contract .



the meter has changed now from last year ,it was 176ytl and same procedure with copy passport and copy contract .go down to girne and down high street ,turn right on 2nd turning and walk to bottom .kibtek offices there .up steps and enter ,machine on right hand side ,grab ticket .you new registrations and then que left hand side (right will be paying bills) .pay your money and get receipt ,just say kavanlar phase2 alsancak etc ....then join ques for installation and timescale for fitting is determined if meters are on island.



i do here that amount has changed now and if "none" cypriot it will be around 570ytl ,if cypriot will sponsor you around 176ytl .This is supposed to be so none cyps dont run off without paying bills ,ermmm dont know about that one .



when chasing meter up after you have paid ,drive towards girne to roundabout where fountain is ,near the market .see grid station with pylons etc ?yard behind there where meter installation people hang out .



hope it helps

There are reputable lawyers and builders/developers here but the bad ones are pulling the good ones down with them. If the Specific Performance Law was changed and the KDV was payable direct to the tax office, then it is a win-win situation for everyone. The buyer gets their title deeds, the tax office and government get their money and the developers deliver what they contractually promised.











Without a change in this law, it means you cannot take action against your vendor to compel them to transfer the title deeds to you. Thus some unscrupulous developers are not adhering to their side of the contract and are not willing to transfer the deeds to the buyers, using this a leveridge to extract extra funds from purchasers.











Please see this weeks edition of Cyprus Today (June 21-27), who are covering this very important issue. http://www.hbpg-trnc.net/documents/Press/CT210608_SP_petition.html







The petition was started some time ago by Ismet Ustuner, a very helpful and knowledgeable member of this board where legal matters are concerned. The petition is backed by the HBPG.

Hi HP,



I think you said that you would be going out to cyprus in early July. Would it be possible for you to have a look at my apartment to see what stage it is at and what works are required to complete it.

My apartment is phase 2 block A apartment 4.

I would appreciate very much.



Thanks

Some very lively postings whilst I have been away. Nemesis seems to be new and has raised some very valid criticisms - many of which are legitimate - but do not seem to be finding favour from some quarters.

Keith is coming in for a bit of stick too. Who is Keith? He sounds like someone I would get on with famously. Not good manners from Jim and Isabella to publicly lambast him for not paying the less than wonderful MEPS. Even if it's true, surely nobody's business but his and MEPS. Perhaps this famous Keith is not a Brit and doesn't give a flying .... about bringing the Brits into disrepute. Come to think of it, he sounds more interesting by the minute.

Pleased to see that PhilD has the unlovely Ilker and Unwins sussed. Lemtich castigates Nemesis for calling Unwins 'mafia'. Perhaps Lemtich knows less than the soothsayer about their past history and dirty deeds. Just like the freemasons? Hm, then again, perhaps not.

Lemtich is also unhappy with the querying of price differentials for electricity and water connections. Like Nemesis, I see absolutely no justification for ripping off foreigners who bring money to this country. In other places this is called discrimination and in the EU would be illegal.

The car parking problem is answered by telling people not to have a car?? You what? This is called bolting the stable door etc - they all have at at least one already don't they? This bizarre view doesn't alter the fact that Phase 2 has crap parking arrangements.

Congratulations to Kavenkoy on his in depth knowledge of Greek mythology. I'd love to be so clever and not just the poor soothsayer that I am.

Hi Nostradamus



Interesting posting, Just like to take issue with a couple of points, I am not happy nor unhappy with price differentials, I do understand it although I don't agree with it, yes it is discrimination but the TRNC is not in the EU yet and again its who you know.



As for Unwins, I am fully aware of the allegations and stories made about this Estate Agency including that made by an ex member of staff, and I stand by my opinion that rather than being a "Mafia", they use local connections in the same way other small town business groups do, its who you know not what you know writ large.



Back to the parking, it is tight, I shall probably be moaning about it myself when I stay out there. All I can say is that hopefully not everybody will be there at the same time and have a car. But what's your answer? Build a multi storey car park as well on site?



As for Keith, I have never met him, he is in my block so I hope we can be good neighbours, I can get on with just about anyone because I try to see where they're coming from and like to listen.



Best regards



Lem

Hi stickle,



I believe that there is not a lot left to do in the majority of apartments but this seems to be the slowest part. When my sister visited a couple of weeks ago she said that there was very little work activity going on in the apartments.

I think that being there tends to push things along a bit.

Incidentaly still waiting for my apartment to be completed.

Hi Stickle ,

We're there from Wed 2 July - 20 July + furniture is due to be delivered 7 July . In Sempati Hotel for first week + then hopefully apt. If you want us to report on any individual apt's let us know .

Hi Kav ,

I realise you like the fun , but maybe we should ignore Nostradamus' / Big Ears' / Mickey Mouse' / Nemesis' / Old Uncle Tom Cobblers an all's comments and she might go away .

Hi Both



No I am in the middle of sorting them out, I have had a few other things going on but hopefully I will be in there pretty soon

All extra's are in and ready for you

If you need me to do the clean just let me know

Susie x



As for all the bad postings about Ilker and Kavanlar I have found them to be nothing but good to me and my daughtewrs and all the things I have asked them to do has been done

Peolpe need to realise they are not in the uk and things work differently here, things may not get done on time but they get done in the end



So stop windging everyone and things might get done without bad blood between everyone, this island is too small for things like that

I have lived here a long time and you will all realise that one day

thanks for the information Susie. We ahve always found Ilker agreable and pleasant. Dates in the TRNC are negotiable. Can cause some irritation but compared to others we have no real complaints.

I know you guys want cleans and snagging but when I get out there in 4 weeks, I'll try and do a photo fest of Phase 2, interiors and exteriors and all over the place.



I'll post them up but could be a couple of weeks after.

I think its £40 plus KDV at 16% because no electric was available.

When you say no electric was available was that in the apartments or in the outside areas and do you have any idea if it has been sorted out in phase 1.

hi mackarel



over the winter months (nov/may) no meters were on island .so no meters were available for powering all the outside and communal areas.

These typical areas are pool lighting ,street lamps ,power to the pump in pool,lights in communal building areas like stairwells ,entrances etc .

Hi Cooper. Pleased the clean went well. Told you they were good! They did some snagging while they were there and organised the guys to fix things for us. (Going the extra mile I think). They both know their way around language and process over there.



Hello Lem. Do you know if there are electric meters for the apartments in block A yet?



Really looking forward to being there at the end of the month. Our kids are looking forward to meeting some people of their own age to get away from "the rents".

Personally, I'd love two weeks with my mum and dad playing old music and shopping for lovely furnishings.....

As far as I know, meters are available and electricity has been sorted out for Phase 1 communal areas. I'll be out there in 3 weeks, can't wait!

Hi all

got back from cyprus today,

Phase one has all electrics running including hallways and outside lighting.



Phase two has not had any paper work put into place yet, we were told to go into town to get leci put on and after some 30 minutes waiting we were told the kavanlar had not submitted the neccessary documents, the same with water.

Ilker told us it will be next week (I think this is a turkish week)



The flats have all been locked and keys taken until owners have paid their final payments , this was confirmed by Ilker.



The cost of the electric includes the cost of bringing it to the site so as there are more flats in phase 2 than in phase 1 the cost pro rata will be less. aprox £350.00 instead of £400.00 in phase1.

Also all the roads were being tarmacked while we were there.

I have some photos but how do I post them?

Hi Stickle , this is HP using Susies computer , we are here now yours needs sink in vanity unit in main bathroom .



Hi Stusparks , you need a threshhold stone at entrance only .



We have furniture , whitegoods + curtains in , waiting for water + leccy only ,

Come over when you can + you can complete everything else . Bring plenty cash , 1300 ytl for water , 700 ytl for leccy , current wait week to 10 days .

Will report when we get back on details .

40 deg today .

Susie cleaned apt + did a good job , £150 which is cheaper than the rest + very worthwhile as it would have taken us 3 days in this heat .



HP .

Thanks for letting me know about the electric meter. Do you know if the workmen have been in the apartment, last we heard was they had misplaced the keys and couldnt get in.

Do you know when the water meter will be fitted?



We are coming over July 25th.
