I have been letting my house out through Unwin - since I bought it through them. When I asked for them to transfer the rental money to my account in the TRNC I was told that they only transferred amounts of 7000YTL and above and that they would meanwhile keep my money in a no interest bearing cllient account.

I thought I would see if anyone else has had sa similar experience with them or other letting agencies and at the same time warn others of this problem - since n omention of this was made when I signed the letting agreement.



Has anyone a suggestion as to how I might be able to persuade them to part with my money?

That doesn't sound right at all. I'd ask them to point out to you where it states re 7000YTL minimum transfer in your contract to start with. It's your money from rental income so if they don't forward it to you it amounts to theft, if there was no mention of this minimum.

Rented my house out through Unwins,

Charged for things that were not done

Items damaged and stolen, can`t be proved because they did not do an audit,provided our own but were told they would have to complete one,this they did not do,,so no proof,charming in the extreme when they wanted money,but essentially i would not trust them an inch



I believe there was a song about them by Cher

It is true that banks cannot transfer amounts of less than 7000TL in an electronic transfer. However, my friend rents her apartment through Donaghy and Beyler. They collect the rent monies, remove their cut, pay the rental tax and deposit the remainder in her bank account every month and then send her a statement in confirmation. This is part of the service that she pays them monthly for. If I was you I would move to another agent as soon as you can.

Our bank doesn't let us transfer anything less that YTL7000 so have now moved to another - its OK doing transfers to people who have accounts in the same bank but other than that you cant do it

Unless it is the same bank then they can't transfer less than 7000YTL by electronic transfer. A friend of mine has rented her property for 3 years through Unwins and has been lucky to have the same tenants the whole time. They take her rent, pay the 10% TAX and then pay the balance into here bank each month (she does bank at the same bank as them).



I know other people that rent through various agents and they all pretty much work in the same way.



Hope this helps.

Why not tell Unwins your TRNC bank account details and ask them to pay their cheque into your bank. Surely the shouldn't refuse to do that - even pay them a small fee for their trouble , if necessary.

If you are already paying them a monthly fee then paying your rent into your bank account (at any of the local banks) should be part of the service as it is with other agents.

We had our house rented out with Unwins and we had the same problems, At first they put our money into Turk Bank but after 3 months they e/maled me to say that they would hold our money until we came out as they did not have staff recources to que up at the banks every month.



The mainproblem we had with them was that we were only out for a week arriving on a Sunday, We made arrangements with them prior to leaving the UK to collect our cheque on the Monday from them, We duly went in on the Mon no cheque signed by Hayran Unwin, without going into to much detail and starting to loose my rag, and six visits later on the Friday we got our money, what a palava.

Anyway beware, I will NOT use them again !!

I have had no problems with unwins so far if you e-mail they reply sometimes you wait a while but if you are polite and on the ball you get there in the end. The question is simple if they are that bad and as they are often quoted as Highwaymen how come they are still in business????????????

As l work for the Continental bank in Karaoglanoğlu you can only transfer 7000 TL or the equivelant ınto any other bank ın Cyprus. But ıf you open an account wıth the same bank they are wıth they can automatıcally transfer the funds monthly for you.

Message 23,

When you are critical of a tradesman's work you have to be very careful what you say and back it up with factual evidence as it could well help you if you are in court being sued for slander and deformation of character.



In my experience i have used Bracey Builders once before and the work was of an excellent standard and reasonable......

Hi toby7, I had a problem with Unwins too, basically they fell out with our builder (over money, what else?) and left us in the lurch! We were left to deal with the builder ourselves.

Toby7 a first post mmmm, are you an ex disgruntled employee I wonder? Seems a little strange that a week after Unwins got rid of all the dead wood and members of staff who felt it necessary to deface legal company documents.…you trawl up an old post slagging off Unwin Estate Agents! Have you actually been into the office and voiced your concerns or are you one of the ex-disgruntled employees we just had no choice but to get rid off?

If you are a genuine unhappy customer then I apologise for any bad service you have received from our company and I would welcome the opportunity to discuss this matter with you personally, therefore, please contact me on hayran@unwinestates.com or phone my personal mobile number - 0542 882 4269

Not a wonderful example of your employee relations... and no, I'm not 'one of the above' but can understand why one might be 'disgruntled' having been described as 'dead wood.' All not well at Unwins it appears? Is this an example of what your customer relations could be like?

Dear rtddci

No this is not an example of our customer service and if you were a customer you would of course know this. Unless you have been a victim of employees stealing company documents and replacing them with fraudulent copies, then I feel you should not comment on this subject. We do not have a need to continue any form of relationship with "some" of our ex-employees and when documents were stolen from our company those employees responsible had no right to be disgruntled when their employer adhered to the letter of their employment contracts.

For information and for those who are genuinely interested...everything is very well at Unwin Estate Agents as we are now in the process of refreshing many things within our organisation; including staff, systems etc.

I was a genuine unhappy customer! Pity you didn't post the above a few years ago, we were dropped like hot potatoes by Unwins after falling out with our builder (Armacon) and after 4 years the house still isn't finished!

I am not a new poster, and have no reason to lie.

We had no problem at all with Unwins services, they were actually the last company we saw on our buying trip, they should have been the first then we could have cut out a lot of the wasted time. They found us the place we asked for in fact they never showed one property outside of the criteria we gave them where as the other agents tried to sell us exactly what we had told them we did not want.

Unwin's were very professional and we have not one cause for complaint we could not fault thier service whilst going through the purchase or thier aftersales service either.

Based on our experience with Unwins we would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone.

Britvic,

If you were an unhappy Armacon customer then why did you not contact us to discuss this matter? I note you have mentioned we fell out with the builder over money. I can confirm that we never fell out with Armacon over money, therefore, not sure where you get this information from.

Please confirm your full name and I will dig out your file and make contact with you to see if we can help.

Unfortunately unless people contact us then we cannot help and we have never dropped any of our client's like "hot potatoes"!

I would like to add that we are Estate Agents for many developers/builders and we cannot be held responsible for a builders/developers actions, but we can of course mediate between both parties and advice accordingly.

However, if you do not communicate with us then we cannot help.

What? You think we didn't try to contact Unwins at the time? We just thought "Oh well" We didn't go to the office, or email? Mark Unwin ran a mile when he saw us coming! Did I not say this was 4 years ago? I don't think there is much you could do now to help the situation.

This situation has obviously upset you and if you feel that strongy about it then surely contacting us direct would be more beneficial than posting comments on an open forum, regardless of whether it was 4 years or 4 hours ago?

I have offered to listen and help you but I will need your details, therefore, please contact me on my personal e-mail or mobile phone should you like my help.

I will not be dealing with each individual customers concerns on an open forum.

Should you need our assistance, then please contact us direct.

Britvic, so this is something that is solely in the hands of Armacon. If I could finish your house then I would, but this is clearly a problem that only the builder can resolve so not sure why all of your anger and frustration has been aimed towards our company.

We are in communication with Armacon so the offer to contact the builder on your behalf is still open should you feel you would like to take up this offer. Not sure if it will make a difference, but we are willing to try.

The quote above is the response we got at the time, "It's the builders fault" I am obviously very angry with all of the problems we have had with our Villa, and having to deal with the builders on our own for years, and quite frankly having to fight every inch of the way!

Like I have said even if I do email you, there is absolutely nothing you could do now, however I will give you the benefit of the doubt, if you can help I will be the first to let everyone know, if you can't I will be the first to let everyone know!

Britvic - I find your comments rather abrupt and very negative. I have offered to help, however, if the builder still does not cooperate why will you continue to point the finger of blame at our company?

The builder is responsible for finishing your house and all we can do is talk to him to find out why he hasn't and to see if we can assist in mediating between you and the builder.

Please contact us supplying your name to enable us to assist as much as we can.

I suppose if this thread moves on to have ago at "Amy Villas" then it will be deleted.....just like the seaterra one did.... sorry but the integrity of this forum has been compromised and should be pulled!

All threads that go against your big brother attitude are in danger of being deletd...so much for free speech!





Reply by Izzet - Threads do not get deleted due to posting against me. This thread and similar will stay here and will not get deleted. The reason why SeaTerra thread was deleted was due to legal reasons. Unless you want to cover my lawyer charges, such threads that may cause legal action will continue to be deleted. The reason I posted Amy Villas policy is just to let people know that different companies have different payment policies. I do understand that this also can be seen as "marketing".

Hi Britvic, Thank you for you welcome.



I am surprised at the reaction my posting no26 has created.

NO!! I am not an ex employee, only a disgruntled customer, for the record. My numerous telephone calls, emails regarding my several problems with Unwins have all been ignored. Even a phone call requesting to speak to Mr Mark Unwin has been ignored.

So will I ever get a honorable response from Unwins?

I doubt it!!!

But, I still would like to hear from other people who have dealt with Unwins Estate Agents.

I have spent time reading this post and found it of interest. I used to work for Unwins and hand on heart can say i had no problems with them, they are very professional, very busy and a good company to work for.



The staff there are only human beings and they are very busy, they get back to people as soon as they can. They never ignore customers there is hundreds of clients to the memebers of staff they have at the office.



Its nice to read some good posts as people are quick enough to write bad stuff and not quick enough to write something positive.same as news really.

Tuttut,



Prices have been steadily falling for the last year. There are hundreds of empty shells all over the place. Developers are going bust daily. The reputation of buying, not just in the north but also in the south, is now well publicised with various European Governments warning about the pitfalls of buying in Cyprus.



There is a possibility that your assets in England might be seized. More and more buyers are not getting their PTP or deeds. Many are now finding out that the land their property is on is mortgaged. Contracts are worthless.



But you would buy? As my mother used to say, "There's one born every minute"

I do not jump to conclusions, worry, and make other people worry. I think that people have a right to their own opion and each to their own.



Im very happy living in Northern cyprus and i am propared to fight for what i have got. I do not want to change things nore make this lovely island into a little britain i left there to live here. I fell in love with the people and area and i still am now.

It is unusual to ask one person a question and another to answer with exactly the same grammar and punctuation!

Speak as you find i use Unwins and i have found Tom and Lyndon to be spot on if you ask the question they reply. If you ask for advice they give it take the advice or don't. Not had a problem keep up the good work chaps...............

I don't think britvic was criticising your grammar etc....just remarking that it appeared identical to "another" poster.

I have to agree with Bradus and cronos. Only a fool would even contemplate buying in NC.

Prettypink, we are not the same person, i used to work for Unwins yes but my husband has never. It was a common mistake of him signing me off and him going onto the computer and i did not realise, mistakes happen.



Cronos, i know they were not making a comment lol, but thought i should just appologies for any mistakes, anyone do after work lessons !!!! think i need um

No problem Tuttut....don't worry about it....it's just I can't stand the spelling,punctuation and grammar police that come on here at times who love to point out people's deficiencies in these areas to deflect from what they are saying.

The message and content is the important thing.

People should not be discouraged from posting just because they have difficulty with the written word.

Hayram, I note that in one of your postings that. "We are in communication with Armacon so the offer to contact the builder on your behalf is still open should you feel you would like to take up this offer. Not sure if it will make a difference, but we are willing to try."

I was under the impression that Armacon had gone out of business. Are they still operating ?

Armacon have not gone out of business, they have moved office (without telling anybody) their original office is up for sale.

Armacon are still in business and we have already visited Britvic's property and taken pictures and are in the process of compiling a full report before replying to Britivic. Our findings so far is that the property is finished and has been furnished, but just waiting for electrical connection. Armacon was very surprised that Unwin's had made contact with him regarding Britvic's property as apparently he has been in constant touch with them and claims to have a good relationship with the couple. He also confirms that the couple have taken possession of the property. The electrical connection seems to be the main problem, therefore, a meeting took place between all residents only 2 weeks ago to find a solution.

I also confirm that looking through Britivic's file, we have never received any correspondence from them informing us of the problems they have been facing or asking for our help in this matter.

I feel we have acted swiftly and will now continue to monitor this situation.

I would like to add that since posting my messages asking people to contact me personally should they like our help. I have received a massive total of ONE e-mail and ONE phone call. With the amount of complaints I read about our company I thought my phone would be ringing constantly and my inbox full of e-mails!

We have not had contact with anyone from Armacon since November 2008 when we were last their, no residence meeting has taken place as I have already said we are in England, the only people we are in touch with is our neighbour, who very kindly is sorting the electric problem via email with all residents and Armacon, all residents on site are paying an equal amount for the electric and Armacon are paying the shortfall.

opinion their behavior is totally unacceptable I would like to hear of other peoples experiences.

Hello Reggie2

If you have had dealings with us and are not happy then why are you not contacting me direct so I can assist you? My phone number and e-mail have been made available to anyone who wishes to contact me, but at the last count we were still standing at a whopping number of ONE phone call and ONE e-mail so far. So either everyone is happy or the postings on this thread are not genuine!

I am starting to think that Reggie2 and Toby7 know each other already and are just trying to start trouble and keep this thread going which is becoming very pointless and in my opinion should now be closed!

I will reiterate that I am available Monday to Friday 9am - 5pm to deal with any calls and answer e-mails so instead of going on open forums and having a moan contact the people who you have a grievance with so we can help resolve your problems as having a moan on this forum does nothing but create negativity which serves no purpose.
