Hello there, I really want to thank people for the good information on here and I am certainly passing it on. Latest is the tenant rang the solicitor and gave her a whole pile of abuse on the phone - she is extremely frustrated and there's some satisfaction to be had there! The solicitor reckons...

I will certainly flag this to them thanks for the tip!

Delgirl thanks for the sound advice - I will certainly urge her now to contact the CWO to see if they can transfer the RA to them directly, at least it will be something! At the same time a solicitors letter went to the CWO one went to the PRTB to inform them of the situation but no response...

Hello again, Just thought I would post an update. Solicitors letter went to the CWO - tenant rings today saying her RA has been cut off and she certainly won't be leaving the house now and was extremely abusive on the phone. My sister rang me in tears, she reckons they have no option but to...

I was thinking perhaps they could reduce her social welfare payment slightly as was previously mentioned. At the moment the taxpayer paying for this mess is my sister and her husband..... The latest from the CWO is the tenant needs to agree for the payment to be made directly to the LL - which...

Thanks very much for the advice. Because there is a child involved they don't want to do anything that's not by the book. I advised my sister at the time to just give the cash to her and just get rid but they couldn't see past this woman owing them hundreds and just giving her more money was...

Hello everyone, My sister (who is pregnant and beyond stressed at this point) has a nightmare tenant that I need some advice on. Her tentant is a single mum with one child who reduced her rent twice of her own accord (breaking the terms of the lease). This crucified my sister and her family as...

Hi Furzy, So we're both suckers! :) I am in contact with an agent in Mahmutlar at the moment and the first viewing of our apartment for potential buyers is happening this afternoon so fingers crossed! We just have a one-bedroomed apartvilla but it looks like we will have to take quite a...

Hello Slim, Thanks so much for the reply. I took a look at that site you recommended and reckon its exactly the place I was looking for! Much appreciated :)

Hello people, Hoping someone can help us here. My husband and I, after much deliberation have decided to go gung ho to try and sell our property in Turkey. I posted about it on an earlier thread here but its basically a one bedroom apartvilla in a 5* star resort called Goldcity in Alanya...

Hi Slim, No I wouldn't buy in Mahmutlar either - Goldcity a bit different because it has a lovely private beach (free shuttle bus to it and Alanya regularly every day). It also has a nice breeze in the summer being on top of a mountain and all! At the same time we would sell it if we could...

Hi Slim, Is your sister in Mahmutlar somewhere? That's mad that the resort was half empty in June. I know it was fully booked for most of July and August of last year. We were there during Easter last year and it was very busy - 2 football teams included! (they have a big sports complex /...

Hello Bronte, Just came across this thread so sorry for late reply. We bought an apartment in Alanya in Turkey a few years ago and I highly recommend it as a place to buy. Alanya itself is a lovely city, fab harbour area, castle, restaurants etc. Very different to Kusadasi and the like...

Hi there, Thanks for the replies! Will check with the EA who exactly the seller is and if there are any loans outstanding - the builder if a big player though and has lots of houses so not sure what we are dealing with.... If the banks do agree to lend the extra to finish the house I wonder...

Hello there, Hoping someone can give us some advice here! My husband and I are considering buying a house that's at a builders finish at the moment. Supposedly the builders of this house are gone bust and its now owned by the bank (not sure which one though). We would hope to get a good deal...
