Cheers for that, old buddy.
Just on a different thought. The Kavanlar development in its various stages appears to be mostly bought up by the British. That adds up to quite a sizeable contingent in Alsancak.
I know most of us are probably not going to be there most of the time but could we not set up an internet site just for residents?
You could exchamge views, gripes, help, contacts, messages etc
kavankoyvillage.com perhaps

Great idea Lem, we would certainly support this.
It may be good as part of this to invite /pool ideas on what we want from future maintenance not leave a provider to tell us what we can get for a price? No disrespect MEPS if you are a contributor here. We have recieved nothing yet to introduce MEPS service just heard costs to the pioneers in phase 1 and rumours of how much cheaper it will be in phase 2 - for what? Is there a spec that could be emailed from any phase 1 or 2 buyers please to give us a start point? (Tonyro@live.co.uk )
Is this an area that all phases could unite on from day 1 to get the best quality/value wherever we come from?
This may encourage a more positive attitude from owners as well as protect our investments. We would certainly sign up to that!
We could have pages for Kavankoy contracts, build stage, snagging,maintenance, penalty clauses, quality complaints, areas for improvement like safety and security, FAQs and Help? Sounds like a goodun to us!

Hi Lem,
If you would like us to build you a site for the Kavankoy residents in Alsancak, we could do this for you a basic site would cost £150 this would include domain name registration, hosting and design.
Design - £115.00
Hosting - £25.00 for 1 years hosting
Domain name - £10.00 for 2 years
this is for a basic site, your site will probably need to be more database driven, as soon as you know the exact specifications and requirements for your site we could then discuss prices for extras e.t.c
for more info email stay@wish2rent.co.uk

This idea for a website for owners might be something that can be incorporated into a new maintenance contract as a cost shared by residents of the individual phases. On Phase one £150 devided by 30 units equals a £5 each.

I would support this also. I think it would give some structure to the posts. I like this site appearance mind. I think its user friendly and attractive.
Scampy's input could be a real bonus.
Maybe discussions also around things like poolside chairs/recliners. If we all get our heads together it could be a joint venture rather than looking bare or mismatched. Even if we don't get a bar/cafe like originally planned maybe if we organise well enough we could have one thro the main season if others wanted it - could be a nice studenty job for someone but i haven't a clue of the implications of course like stocking a bar with the all important cider.... lol
oh i can't wait to get over there.

We won't be arriving until about 8am ish with children! We'll try not to make too much noise, or will you be still up!!
Yes we are buying in phase 2, but as not ready yet are renting apartment in phase 1.
I think this gives us permission to use phase 1 pool!! lol Hammers

Hi Phase 2 guys,
A close friend in Algarve who runs a building company was very impressed with the speciications and finish of our Kavanlar apartment. He had a piece of advice regarding insurance from his own experience. He suggested that we persuade all the residents of our block to use the same building insurers. This way all elements of the block, the roofs, the communal areas like staircases are all covered without argument. I think this is good advice, particularly for the penthouse people. They have a private section of roof for which their insurers would have to take responsibilty. Contracts for the lower apartments specifically exclude the private roof area.
On our last visit we contacted MEPS and spent an hour discussing this issue and they contacted an insurance company whise representative came along to the discussions. They promised a good quote for the block of 6 apartments but we are still waiting. No surprises there but we will try to follow this up in September.
In the meantime, if other occupants of block 9 phase2 get in touch we would like to know their views. If anybody has contacted insurances companies, we would like to hear from them.
cheers to all

Has anyone else had an e-mail from fatma saying that they have to pay 5% VAT.
After the full purchase price of the apartments has been paid what other payments have to be made to the GOVT?

Robbie,
Are you phase 1 or 2 ? I presume the payment you are referring to is the GBP2000 held by the solicitor.

I haven't got my permission to purchase through so how can I pay VAT (KDV) on a transfer of title?
I'm also opting to pay the 3% not 6% stamp duty. All in all you have to pay about 8% of the purchase price as VAT and Stamp Duty to the Government.

Kevin,
Am I correct in thinking that this(8%) is not payable until there has been transfer of title and is it paid through the developor or the solicitor?
You say that you are opting to pay 3% stamp duty.What is the other option.

Everyone who buys in the TRNC is given a once only option of paying 3% Stamp Duty instead of 6% on a property purchase. If you intended trading up to a villa from an apartment, it would pay to fork out the 6% on the cheaper purchase and keep the 3% option for a more expensive purchase later.
5% is paid as VAT whatever and there is a nominal payment to the local council.

Hi all,
Has anyone else in phase 2 had an e-mail today from kavanlar attorney, Fatma, asking to pay the £2000 snagging payment. We haven't checked the apartment for snagging and also know that our air cons and white goods have not been fitted yet.
Any advise on what we should do would be appreciated.
Thanks Hammers

Hi,
Yes, had email from Fatma requesting full final paymen + 5% vat
I have replied that £2000 should be retained by my lawyer until proof of title deed division.
Apparently once the vat payment is made a receipt is issued to your lawyer from the vendor which is held until Title deed division.
Then you have the option of 3% or 6% stamp duty +1%.
All very complicated!

I think that we should all pay the penultimate 2000.00 when we have seen that everything works. and the cvontract staes that the final 2000.00 should be paid when deeds are handed over or after 3 months of hand over (whichever is the soonest) this is to be held by your solicitor.why are they driving us made for the final payments.
my pal lou in phase 1 has taken out insurance for approx 130.00 per year covering goods to 10.000 and building to 60,000. if only one person in block takes out the insurance they will receive a payout if the whole 6insure
they will rebuild the block.
this sounds good value to me.

Hi all, you may find this link helpful concerning the V.A.T payment.
http://www.hbpg-trnc.net/documents/KDV_0708.html
Stamp duty is 0.5% of contract price if paid within one month of the contract date.it then increases until it reaches 1.5% if paid after 6 months. however there is currently a ammnesty where you can still pay at the 0.5% rate, how long this will stand for no one knows.
Land Registry Transfer Fee is 6% of contract price but has Lem as pointed out everyone has a one off choice of paying at the reduced rate of 3%.This is payable at the time Deeds are transfered to your name.

Has anyone paid their final payment before snagging? Also Fatma has asked me to pay the 5% VAT at the same time as I make the final payment (excluding the GBP2,000 held until transfer).Does this all sound right?

Just got this from my solicitor
28.02.2008
Dear Client,
Re: Payment of VAT.
The General Income and Taxation Department, by using the authority given by 47/92 VAT Act, published and served new instructions by a circular dated 06.02.2008 with ref. No.:GVD.0.00.25/08-324, Circular No:M.M.101/2008.
According to the circular mentioned above, it is ordered that for all the immovable properties which constructed after 01.07.1996, VAT payable will become due on the delivery date of the property to the purchasers.
If you have taken possession of your property, VAT has become payable.
As the new directive of the relevant Department is a by law, it will supersede any conditions of the sale contracts between the Vendors/Constructors and Purchasers.
Current rate of VAT is 5% and the sale price on the contract will be taken as the basis.
If you have taken full possession of your property please pay 5% of the sale price as VAT to the Vendor/Constructor against a receipt, which clarifies that amount paid is for VAT.

Hi Susie,
Ilker has a MEPS specification for Phase 1, I saw it some time ago. Maybe he has a similar one for phase 2. Can you do better?
How would you feel if you had a Residents committee looking over your shoulder?
It is a fair responsibilty to take on when you live with your clients!

Hi Susie
You need to put some sort of spec together so residents can make some sort of judgement. How will you handle the IT side? Phase 1 spec includes CCTV, and the cameras are already in place, and a webcam serving a dedicated web site so owners can look in at the site from where ever they are.
Be bold and ask MEPS to see their specification as a phase 2 resident.
Good luck

What an interesting happening yesterday on Phase 1. Kavanlar's unlovely project manager shouting abuse at one of the residents, followed by threats of physical violence. My, my, methinks he needs a course on anger management - most unsavoury. The matter has been reported to the local police.

Just back from a wek living in Block Five (E) on phase two. Dide not realise there was a board 5.People are starting to move in and the place is improving all the time. Snagging was done almost immeidately. Ilker was very, very helpful. Workmen sent roound in a very short space of time. They need to be supervised when snagging as they will only do the fault you report unless you get them to check the consequences of their actions. Particularly anthing to do with Solar Panels and water. Apartments are fairly clean and it is possible to clean yourself if you want to. I did over 3/4 days. Water total costs were approxiamately 1400 YTL as you have to have a Council tax receipt before the water can be paid. Took about two hours as they process the council tax (about 80 YTL for everyone on the contract. They then ring you when that is ready and you go pay. Kibtec is 750YTL and then £60. Don't know why one bill was YTL and one was Sterling.
No developments on the roof terraces. A pleasant and non confrontational approach has meant that thouse who were there last week got most things attended to.
To High Priest and Preistess thanks for the Hosiptality and the friendship during the week. No doubt you will read this and post what you thought.

Come on Nostradamus, I'm sure there are more like me waiting with baited breath to find out the identity of the project manager.

Block E apartment 1. Snags take time as the workers only do what they are told to do but if you watch them and ask them to check what they do it is OK. The problems were that the plumbing was never tested and as soon as water pressure was applied the weak spots leaked. The solar panel had an internal leakage which was replaced but the plumbers did not test the joints when they refitted it. Ilker sent them back and the repair was completed. The aircon will be put when you have your meters. Seems reasonable as there has been no charge for the use of Builders electric and water. However, someone living on phase three has an aircon unit fitted. They are still building above them and the phase is a working building site.

Hi Stickle,
Did you manage to have your Electricity and water meters installed in the time that you were there.
Also I am in phase 2 block A apart 4. Is anyone else that uses this forum in the same block.

Hi,
I haven't send in the last payment yet. Still arguing about the late delivery.... The 2000 GBP wil stay in my account until title deed.
Someone mentioned that the final payment was only 1250 GBP, was this after deduction of late delivery charge?
PS: Bought in bldg 4, appartment 5. Would like to come into contact with other owners to arrange insurance and joint water testing, etc...... Anyone going over in the near future?

Hi Oldenzeal, we are in apartment 6 Block D (4). We have got a quote from Can Sigorta who were recommended by our solicitor. The quote was not the cheapest at £210 but covers £10K contents, £70K apartment and earthquake cover (snow damage too but thats going a bit too far!). I spoke to Kemal Can the Manager and he said that we would not necesarily need to get all six signed up to cover the whole building for rebuild costs etc
They can give you a quote on line at http://www.cansigorta.com. Mention that we are booked up with them. If they say there will be a discount for 4 out of 6 please let us know. We may not get all six booked up as I believe that 3 of the others are owned by the previous landowner and they may be sold but not yet? Gailforce is also in our block havent asked about insurance?

Welcome back HP and HPtess - brought the weather with you then -well almost! Glad that E5 is up and running. Geoff and Marion may be a great help. We already value your word on stuff so will talk to them next time we are out.
We have been told that our wrought ironwork has been done on block D - did you notice it going on by any chance? Have they painted the wrought iron on the stairs in your block?
Sept will come round quickly - we may go again then too.

Hi Tony + Bev ,
All your paintwork should now be done , the painter with his yellow dungerees has definitely done your iron work + was putting finishing touches all over the apt . None of the inside iron has been done yet . Thanks for your company ,we had a super time at Aphrodite with you , in fact we went every other evening after that . See you hopefully in Sept .
Duncan + Lynn .

Hi Suzie ,
Please can you give us a proposal via email re maintenance with every cost broken down . We did some research whilst out there re pool / garden + lighting costs so we have an idea of the figures . We can then give you some feedback .

So sorry for the delay in replying to Niftyduo and Kavenkoy. The project manager is the ever unlovely Ilker.

Hi HP,
Welcome back and thanks for the info. You say that you still have no meters for Electric and water. What are the problems for long delay in installation?
No meters, very busy time etc. We will be over for 4 weeks in August and were hoping to move in.
