I have no complaints about TRNC, I love the place and the people and have been very lucky with our property, but people who have been ripped off by dodgy builders, who are still waiting for their properties to be finished, sometimes years after the agreed date, and who have lost many thousands of pounds, are entitled to say it how it is, as you would if you were in that position.

British people put a lot of money in to the economy here, they pay their taxes and do at times get treated as if they are cash cows, all they want is to be treated fairly and with some respect.

Property purchases we have within the family , we have had no probs with the actual build in fact very high quality , the problem we have had is with our advocate who fed us a load of twaddle , we had trust in our advocate , after all if you cannot trust a solicitor thinking they had a duty of care to us which clearlly they do not as we found out to our cost ,paying him £2,200 , moving on to broken promises , from our developer relating to the site ,refusal to meet and discuss issues on a way forward and threats from our maintenance company , in answer to your question we purchased in good faith , did all what was asked on our part , thought it was a privlidge to buy in this wonderful country and have learnt to trust no one and suspect everyone . So no any misery we have had is not due to us .

With regards to message 25. We also had a problem with our first advocate, they tried to rip us of for 14 thousand so I can truly sympathise. I must correct you on the management company issue though.



In my opinion chasing non payers for money that they owe is not bullying. All the amenities are in place, except for the Sauna/steam room. However, as you know we are rapidly loosing services due to non payers. i.e. refusing to pay the communal electricity. So soon we will have no pools, no flushing toilets etc. So the misery you are facing in the trnc is your fault and you and the other non payers are inflicting that misery on others.

1. I have no need nor desire to pm you.



2. I believe that you using the word hijack is not from this thread but from myself accusing you of hijacking on another thread. The thread was called ‘What happened to non payers’.

3. I am unable to bury my head in the sand as you put it, because due to the fact that I only own one apartment, I am unable to sit in my other apartment enjoying working communal electricity. This is the misery I am facing in the trnc. Totally on thread.

4. You are free to start any thread you wish, but when anyone posts on this forum, you must expect people to try and clarify a situation which is what I have tried to do.

Why don't I have a right to clarify a situation and who says that I am being fed twaddle from other people, apart form you. You by your words are implying that I do not have the intelligence to form my own opinion. Everything that I have stated on this forum has been seen with my own eyes, these facts are true. I am not the only one on this forum that has tried to expalin this to other readers of the forum. However, you seem to be unable to partake in a debate, you have your opinion and anyone who does not share it gets attacked.



A great many people are facing real misery in the trnc, not just a case of being unable to have a sauna. As for the other non payers, how can I talk to them, I do not know who they are, apart from you?

Ok When we were out in October 2008



We used the pool outside our apartment which the m/c did not 'mothball' as my children and two other families were using it. Some of the other pools had been 'mothballed' for the winter. I choose not to use the outside pools as they were to cold. I choose to use the indoor pool, which I used every day. I also made use of the gym equipment as did my eldest son. My husband collected some of the cobbles off the beach, which he had complete access to and has had complete access to on every visit.



There has been considerable progress made with regards to the open areas. Any can check this out by looking at the Glencoe website. Each day we saw the gardener, who was at all times helpful and polite.

cont.



Some of the pools are no longer working as the communal electric has not been paid and will stay closed until the non payers pay up. i.e they have the electricity cut off. This is the fault of the non payers.



The basketball court is finished and can be used as is the pitch and put. Yes the sauna/steam room is not in place, but we have had this conversation before.



I will also refer you back to the non payer list, how can I speak to them when I do not know who they are and what their problems are. To my knowledge you are the only non payer that posts.

When you answer my questions I will answer yours. That is how a debate works. Not just saying the same thing over and over again.



1. So I will ask you again. Why don't I have a right to clarify a situation and who says that I am being fed twaddle from other people, apart form you.



2. As for the other non payers, how can I talk to them, I do not know who they are, apart from you? So to all those non payers please talk to me, but do not attack me personally, if you have a rational arguement let everyone know, do not rely on pipie.



3. You say that you want to go forward. But how can that be when all you will talk about is the past. These amenities are up and running and I have seen them with my own eyes, surely that is the most important thing, or would be if the electric had not been cut off (non payment). Perhaps now these things are all up and running all you have left is going over old ground as justification of non/late/very behind payment. MY MISERY IN TRNC.

Rubbish. Most of the local builders didnt have a clue what they were doing (seeing as most were anything but builders) and this, plus the government who paid no interested, as they were busy seeing what they could put in their own pockets plus uneducated workers with no sense of pride in what they do and poor work ethics is the cause of most peoples problems. Thank God for the new breed of foreign companies now doing quality work.



This is not unique to N. Cyprus. Go to almost any un-developed nation where corruption and ignorance prevail and you find the same thing.



At the end of the day, how do you expect someone who lives in a shack and wipes his a** with a fig leaf to know anything about quality! The only way to beat this is with good management but until people used to working in more demanding markets got involved that wasn't going to happen was it!

My Turkish is good enough for me to get by in Cyprus thanks very much. I'm posting on a website that uses English and responding to a message sent in English and was either a wind-up by a Brit or a Racist remark by a Turk/TC with corrupt moral values!



What good is Turkish outside of Turkey anyway? I don't intend to live here for good and my Spanish is passable so I'm sorted (Panama looks like a great option).



The point of my last message was that if Catalkoykid is English he isn't very advanced in his mother tongue!

Msg 69



Just like the ottoman empire (lower case)!



I'm a nomad and certainly not nationalistic so you can say what you want about the UK, it sucks as bad as here but in different ways.



AND i don't give a damn if people speak swahili, urdu, turkish or whatever in the UK and who decides to live there Polish, Albanian..... whatever!

Donty - "What good is Turkish outside of Turkey anyway?"

It would stand you in good stead in both Germany and the Netherlands!

Also in the Portsmouth area in UK.

No plans to go to those places so no drama.

I live where I want to as I'm not tied to anachronistic nationalist ideas, I've got a European passport that allows me to get to most countries, work in an industry that is worldwide and have the gift of the gab.



P.s Why is it ok to be derogatory towards Brits but not Turks?

No not an estate agent but in property. I've also sold finance, cars, people, hunting and fishing equipment and modular office furniture along with the yaks in my lengthy career in sales and marketing.



You haven't answered my question about why is it ok to be derogatory towards Brits but not Turks as per msg 1? You didn't come galloping out to defend poor Brits who were being slated for being shafted by locals, thats ok is it, its just not on when one of us foreigners says anything bad about your beloved patch of dirt in the Med eh!

I know. I'm not anti Turk and I don't dislike this place its just that this when someone takes the p**s out of Brits for just buying here and for getting ripped off by dodgy local builders, lawyers and the inept system, someone has to take a stand especially as it's the Brits that have helped drive this economy for the past few years. Sorry, I fight fire with fire and i refuse to keep quiet whilst someone tries to be a smart alec.



p.s. I'm not a victim, I havent lost a bean on this island and i'm a TRNC supporter, just don't try to mug me off!

In fact i'm suprised more locals aren't on here apologising on behalf of your nation to poor individuals that have bought a pile of cr*p off some douche bag and standing by the foreign cash cows that have made this the Mercedes driving place that it is!



At the end of the day this place has no real economy other than tourism and you need to be nice to your guests. Its only polite and part of your culture to be kind to guests or so i've been told! Otherwise get ready to sell the Merc.

Fair enough the robbster was a bad egg and the Brit government asked for many years for you to hand him over but your government gave him shelter! Back-hander central!

mess 1





most of the probs by expats are there own probs, go back from where you come,what they bitch about,interest rate dropping, builders are sh*t,this place is pardise go home for a few weeks se whats there.





As you see "most of the probs",If you parted with all your money up front in england spain portugal,to name but a few theres a good chance you would get you ar*e burnt,

as alot of people including brits say they left there brains on the plane.

what a load of bull



most people didnt give all money up front they paid in installments but the lousy quality of work offered by most local so called builders caused problems later on when their properties started leaking and falling apart.



Its obvious from your response that you also think like a shark. do all locals think its ok to rip off the people who come here? so far on this post its 100% of locals who are crooks.



Your responses make me question why anyone would deal with a local when it comes to anything more than a kebab!

In england you would use a surveyor, why did'nt they use stuart hilliard a brit surveyor or was it cutting corners.
