No dont recognise that name!!
There are so many translators in Fethiye Lol
This one popped in ,smiled ,countersigned and was out in 5 minutes!!
I was with someone who knew Turkish but STILL had to have the translator at a FEE of course!!
I am doing the wrong job as £30 odd for 5 minutes wasnt bad!!
Its FEES for this,FEES for that Lol
I bet if I go back there to that Notaire they will say they have no records , get the same translator out and DO IT ALL AGAIN!!
You have to laugh really!!
Databases arent something they think about Lol.

Airlines

What about letters /emails to the main players there too

they get an increasing trade from owners flying back and forth maybe they should be contacted too in the campaign?

Re: re. Property scams

I meant in Tonbridge. Esen gives Turkish lessons but insisted upon two hours at a time and was about to increase it from £35, so only had a couple, as way too pricey for me.

It's the worry of possible fraud that makes me laugh though. Is that different from the fraud already going on?

Probably no different at all!!
I think they are just happy and used to the way they do things!!
It works for them and they resist any Western influence to change as long as possible.
They are a proud people and have probably been taken aback by the huge numbers of foreigners from the West almost pressurising them to change their systems.
It needs a halfway house really and you cant beat central databases for instant information!!
People need to know quickly what transaction might have happened two days ago in another part of Turkey to protect them legally on many issues but thats where their system falls down.

Ah well back to thread.

Re: re. Property scams

at the end of the day the solution is to name and shame

too often people complain but are afraid (reluctant) to name the guilty parties.

Now, if we had a list of emlaks, builders, solicitors etc that were involved in that sort of problem at least newbies could avoid them, and it might hit them in the pocket

Perhaps CarolK should send the journalist her petition - and ask her to follow it up

PS - heard on the radio that Cameron is suggesting that if you get 100,000 signatures on a petition it will be debated in parliament. To the contributor that was 721 on the list - only another 99,289 to go!!

Re: re. Property scams

I was more than disapointed with David Cameron's suggestion that he will look into the problem of Turkish property scams if we raise a 100,000 signature petition. On his web site it says that DC proudest acheivment is to get the Conservative party listened to, well he isnt listening to us, so, I rang his office again this morning and pointed out that DC didnt get where he is by giving up easily and he needs to listen to us. I explained that 721 signatures currently show that there are too many people who have been ripped off and these are only the cases we know about. During the summer there will be many many more cases coming to light as people go on holiday expecting to stay in their homes only to find the locks changed etc. Now I have been given an email address for DC's office. camerond@parliament.com. They want the details of the petition but I am also going to send in my story. It was explained to me that our local MP's can also help by raising this issue in parliament so I have made an appointment with my local MP.

I have done, I sent it before and have sent it again. I have lost count of the publications and MP's MEP's etc I have sent it to.

Estate agents also have to comply with the Property Misdescriptions Act 1991, which makes it an offence to make false or misleading statements about property offered for sale.

not sure about turkey

I have been looking into this today and as far as I can tell, there is no actual governing body, you have to sue them/the agent/builder (they see it as a personal issue) as people are doing - look where that gets everyone!!
