Hills,



Look through previous Troy Lake threads.



Simbas, a frequent poster, has a villa on this site so might be able to give you more information.

Helllo hills1962,



In answer to your above.



Yes we did.



Yes we are satisfied at the moment.



Yes and she is a buyer as well. her contact detais are on the letter etc. Contact her and ask questions etc. May be better than getting distorted views from person/s with self interest.



My opinions are on earlier reply's on this site.



Bye for now.





Bradus, From all the info you seem to be throwing about I took it that you were also a purchaser on the Troy Lake site! seems I was wrong, sorry.

Look forward to seeing you stirring it up again soon about the site. We are over in Bogaz to SEE for ourselves what is going on in a few weeks.

Sure Sue only hopes as I do situation for all 'Troy Lake' buyers is resolved, but feel potential purchasers should be warned that track record to date is clearly lacking.

Will certainly applaud physical evidence of progress towards actual completion of purchased villas, particularly in these difficult times.

Trusting it will happen.

cheers

No Tiggy,



You are right I'm not a buyer at Troy Lake. I really do not know what you are trying to gain by sweeping issues under the carpet? I could have bought on this site had it not been for a few honest Troy Lake buyers who are decent enough people to come clean about the problems being experienced.



When people post and ask for advice, as so many have already done, then it is important that they are informed that past buyers are experiencing untold misery after buying with this company. My interest is to stop others being ripped off.





Whats yours? Thank godness some Troy Lakers are honest enough to warn others, in order to prevent them being in the same situation as them selves.

Well said Paul Hurley. (your part)



sweping under the carpet....honest.......Bradus you are typing crap. I am a concerned purchaser like all others on the site and have been to a meetings like all others and at present are being given info by Troy Lake and our site represenative Lorraine Balls (presently on holidays) on a regular basis. I urge all purchasers with querries to contact her.



I have met Simbas and found her to be a very nice person and a good laugh to boot. As for you putting her name forward for others to ask for info, you should ask her first. I have a reply from a person looking for money back who thinks Simbas is in league with Troy Lake! as you seem to be making out that I am too.



I have been approached by several purchasers on my e-mail address and have given honest opinions and concerns they need to know, to which I have been thanked..



This web site is a great assett, but at times it seems some lonely people (being kind here) just want to stir a bit of shite etc.



I would suggest that anyone putting on comments on this subject have their facts in order and not tittle tattle that they have heard at the check out, or in a bar full of lonely whinging ex-pats!



Viva the TRNC.

Tiggy,



Your over-defencesive attitude speaks volumes. This is not the first attempt you have had at shutting up anyone that attempts to make negative comments about this building company. Perhaps a visit to past posts will freshen your memory?



The title tattle is not heard at the bars or checkouts.....if only, because that would mean that most buyers were actualy in their homes, it comes from postings on this site by people who have paid up front and many years later are still waiting to take possession of their property.



No way did I say that you were in league with Troy Lake, I simply commented that you were sweeping things under the carpet, which is absolutely fine if you wish to take this path, but you have no right to attempt to stop others from doing so by being dissmissive and rude.



This forum has always been a great support to buyers and future buyers in the TRNC. One of its many achievements is the guiding of purchasers to the reputable builders and steering them clear of the few problematic ones. By doing this not only do we have happy buyers but it also helps prevent the reputation of the TRNC from becoming tarred, thus hopefully encouraging the construction industry to grow. If you feel that this amounts to sh*t stirring from lonely people



As for the comment about whinging Brits......wasn't this first coined by Hasun Sungar, Chairman of the estate agents Union? Appears to be a way of not taking ownership of a problem.



If Simbas is reading this then I apologise for giving her name to someone that was asking questions about Troy Lake. I will ask her next time. You are right in that respect, it would have been courteous to do so first.



As for being lonely.........now that is childish and scrapping the bottom of the barrel.

Hope all does work out for Troy Lake buyers, as others have already commented, its heartbreaking to see the initial threads, so full of optimism, turn into frustration and anger.

Bradus,

the spoken word is much better that the written one and if you would like to contact me please send me an e-mail and I am more than willing to speak to you.



i am not over defensive and have no wish to shut anyone up that has real knowledge of the situation and the ongong true story. I was used by a certain person sending several different names to me in the past.



the door is open to contact me.

to whom it may concern , can i just say , that i am not and never have been in league with troy lake ,we just happen to have had our villa finished with no problems , how can i personally comment on the current situation , when i have nothing to complain about . to the person or persons who think that i am , how dare you make accusations about my person , when you clearly do not have a clue what you are talking about , i wonder what your agenda is ? but clearly whatever it is it certainly has'nt anything to do with me ,and it does not give you the right to assume ,

Hi Simbas,



I apologise for referring someone to your self for information about Troy Lake without first asking your permission. I hope this has not caused you any problems. I only did so because you have first hand knowledge of this development having bought their a few years ago.



Although Tiggy suggests that another poster had stated that you are in league with the developers, I sincerely hope that you in no way consider that I believe you to be connected in any way with Troy Lake other than as a happy purchaser. I feel that the suggestion made was ludicrous.



Kind Regards



Sue

Nice one Patricia,



Enjoyed the conversation earlier this afternoon with you. Hope we can meet up in Cyprus with you and Bel.



Had a nice invite from Paul Hurley on my e-mail as well this afternoon.



Nothing from Bradus yet in my e-mail yet to suggest a talk is in the offing! and Bradus your comment above " I sincerely hope that you in no way consider that I believe you to be connected in any way with Troy Lake other than as a happy purchaser. I feel that the suggestion made was ludicrous" seems a little two faced to me. await your e-mail



rtddci, thanks for looking up my member information, makes good tongue in cheek reading eh! by the way I have been married in the past....I will not comment on yours, as it say's it all really.

Nothing two faced in my post Tiggy, I just have a lot more respect for some than I have for you and your bullyboy approach.



Why on earth would you like me to contact you by Email ? Isn't how this all started, you trying to shut people up in the first place?



If I have anything to say, I'll be sure to post. If you wish to challenge me feel free to do so. Thats what forums are for.

well I offered to speak to you have made excuses. Keep on poking your nose in to other peoples buisness as you seem to be really good at it.



In my opinion, anyone that is a buyer or has poss interest in the site to contact either the company or the rep who is on the website or others that are on the forum who are purchasers etc. and get info that way. Not from lonely, nosey, interfearing,bussy bodies.



How can I challenge you when you know sod all about Othello I or II



Say hello to Jane etc.

Have not got any idea who Jane and etc are.......but hello there.



In my opinion don't contact the rep or the company as they are hardly going to be honest about the situation and you will simply get more reasons for delays.



Contact the HBPG (I know some have already) You will then get support to complete the villas through co-operation and action planning.



Tiggy you might think that I am a lonely, nosey, interferring busy body and thats fine, you can have your opinion but unlike you I am not gullible and naive.



Sincerely hope things do go well for Troy Lakers despite what Tiggy might think.

See there you go again Bradus, spouting off about things you do not know nothing about. so your opinion is wrong....yet again.



Lorraine Balls who has agreed to work as rep is a purchaser as well, that had serious issues with the company about the completion of her villa. She attends meetings and is giving people a monthly update etc, along with answering queeries and concerns that we as purchasers may have.(she also reads this forum and I would think your comments about her honesty again may well cause you to appologise to her as well)! Just liked you assumed that Patricia was going to be on hand to dish out info. but you got that wrong as well. Your opinions and info so far amount to "not a lot"



Anyone wanting to contact the HBPG may well be a good idea and they may be able to give info as well. (my opinion)





So Sue, we seem to be in contact a lot recently and we may well become good friends.



T.



Missing you already!

Tiggy,



We just seem to be going round in circles and your dissmissive attitude and your complete lack of sympathy for other Troy Lakers does nothing to further your hidden agenda.



As I have said before this is an open forum and people should be free to share information and seek help and advice if needed. You may not feel in your particular circumstances that you need support which is obviously all well and good. However this should not mean that you attempt to silence people who have had first hand experience ( not me obviously) of the ongoing problems since 2003. Five years is way too long to have to listen to continued excuses.



You obviously have your own reasons for stifling any open discussion on the board, prefering instead to encourage people to keep it all quiet by emailing you personally.What can anyone gain from this apart from hearing the opinions of one man who seems to have become a self appointed expert on the Troy Lake saga?



Unlike yourself, I feel genuinely sorry for the people who have either paid large deposits or have paid in full over the past 5 years for properties that have not yet materialised and sincerely hope that the unbridled optimism that you have in the developer bears fruit for everyone.



We are never going to agree so I see little point in pursuing this with you otherwise it can get way too personal and detract from the real issues in hand. I wish you well with your purchase and hope that in the near future you will be posting to let all forum members know that you have taken possession of your completed villa and are 100% satisfied. This would then be the right time to sing the praises of Troy Lake and recommend them to other prospective purchasers.



I am sure there will be many more posts on this forum about Troy Lake and hopefully by listening to everyones views and experiences people can then make an informed choice about the way forward.



Game over.

Hi Lorraine



I refer to Tiggys post 16 where he says you have agreed to work as a rep, attend meetings and give people monthly updates. Is that a formal appointment by Troy Lake?or an informal one with various other purchasers?

Hello Bradus,

I have helped a lot of purchasers with sensitive info etc and like myself most do not want it blabbed over this forum for obvious reasons. You do not realise that a lot are in contact by e-mail and by the lack of purchasers replying to your messages would seem to back this up.



You also make totally wrong observations about me being stifiling and being a self appointed expert on the Troy Lake saga. I do feel for others that have concerns etc and we have had our own I can tell you. I only wanted to contact you off line to put you straight on a few matters that I am not prepared to put on this forum.



Thank you for the comments of wishing us well, our villa has had the ground work started now and we know along the way before completion we expect a few hiccups! I wish all purchasers well and look forward one day to a big meet up and a monster party with you.



Dozey,

Lorriane is on holidays at present and has been appointed part time on a formal basis. see her details on the website and send her a message.



Over and out.

Hello Dozey,



I feel a right doughnut (no comments please) you are correct it is Sharon Mills and I have just realised it. She is in Cyprus at the moment and will be updating us all on her return.



Lorraine, please accept my apologies for the mix up. hope you are well and keep in touch.

Hello Tiggy, apology accepted. I couldn't put a reply on here earlier so I put it on the other new troy lake thread.
