Garry,
In America you can call lawyers to account and have full democracy. This is not yet the case in the north of Cyprus.

- Kulaksiz 5 in North Cyprus – structural integrity of property in question
Hey Ian,
The only socks around here are the sock puppets still running the north (for the time being).
My post above probably sums up the whole situation best, which may be why it annoys you. Why can’t, or won’t, you address the very simple points I made? By the way, I’m a somewhat disorganised person so I don’t know where you got that idea from. I just don’t behave like a f***ing c*ck when I’m buying property overseas – especially in places that are full of cheap, transparent crooks and gullible fools. - Kulaksiz 5 in North Cyprus – structural integrity of property in question
Before I bought my property in Kyrenia I had a contract drawn up and paid only a deposit until PTP came through. When that arrived I handed over the balance and was given my Kocan at the land registry the same morning. Prior to missives being concluded I conducted a full search at the “TRNC” and RoC land registries to make sure everything was in order. After that I ordered extensive renovations which were supervised by Kyrenia Municipality building control department. Hence no nasty cracks or other problems.Is it any surprise that people run into disastrous problems when they insist in behaving like complete bloody fools?
Also, some genius recently came up with the motto “no kocan, no money”. Maybe it’s just me, but isn’t that the way property is bought all over the world? It was the system operating when I bought my place in north Cyprus. So why have people not stuck to the safe, tried and tested way? It seems to me that since 2003-2004 the majority of expat purchasers have behaved like a bunch of stupid and greedy kids in a sweet shop. They may as well have stuck a note on their backs saying: “Dumb Brit. Rip me off.” And now they’ve ruined the system for everyone by giving free rein to the unscrupulous.

Embargoed! need to be fully investigated in case they receive any public funding for their ludicrous outpourings. I’d imagine Citizen Osman would not be too happy either if the Turkish Embassy is giving them bungs. Are they a charity?

Thunderbox,
Please don’t quote “Oor Bard”. I’m pretty sure he’d have a thing to say about Scots cashing in on the Cyprus conflict as so many have done. Given our own history and sense of justice one would expect better of a Scot and I always make a point of reminding our bad apples. That said I’m sad to hear of the state Pauline is in so I’ll give her a cyber hug even though she hates me

I see you guys have the same trouble we do with the politics and lawyers. They try to rule and make more money while they do it. And if they don’t make enough money they change the rules.
Here in America, Tenessee, Hickman County, the council thought they deserved a raise (they don’t earn the money they get now and are way overpaid for what they do) so they were going to tax us an additional $30 per vechile. It got voted down by a margin of 75% of the voters. They are so mad and embrassed we haven’t heard a word out of them. Power To The People. And one person can make a difference. Keep up the Free Press. Garry
Interesting article, I think there has been alot of people stung by the lack of legislation regarding property in North Cyprus as much as the failings of advocates.
I think quite often the blame gets put on the advocate when they are only actually working within the framework of the law.
Having said that some are alot better than others and the new law is very welcome. On our website

How long has the discilplinary board existed and who has it ever disciplined?
Garry,

That’s the point, it’s never disciplined anybody and Feyzi hasn’t got back to me yet
I emailed a question to BARO on the 10th October 09, the day after the meeting at the Pia Bella hotel when the Secretary of BARO offered to answer questions via email as questions were limited on the day. I have not yet received a reply. I have emailed again today 30th October. I have asked if there is an appeal procedure against being refused PTP and if so what it is. I intend to take Turkey to the ECHR on this refusal of permission but need to exhaust all local procedures. If I don’t get a reply from BARO I will take it that there is no appeal process.
I guess you noticed NCFP’s permanent counter showing how long we’ve waited for our reply from Feyzi Hansel. They used the PISTON method of spreading information here, everyone gets PISTON from the bloke above.
