Dont know if anyone can give me some advice.....let me tell you the story... I had my offer on the property I bought accepted in August 2004, but the contracts werent completed until April this year. My tapu states that the property was mine from April this year also. When I went to register with my complex management in September, they said that there were outstanding payments that must be paid before I could register. Apparently the previous owner hadnt paid since 2003 and I was liable for a bill of approx £1000!!! Anyways the previous owner was contacted and he could provide proof that he had paid, the complex then said that they had made a mistake (but no apology!) They then said I was still liable for payments from the day that I had the offer accepted ie August, even though the house wasnt mine until the April! And because they charged interest on late payments, I then had to fork out over £1100 as they threatened me with repossession! Can anyone tell me whether 1) I was liable for payments from August 2) whether I should have paid interest on late payments? I mean obviously the complex are trying to con me, or so it seems, and not one of them speaks a word of English which is really frustrating. Has anybody else had these problems? I am on the Gumsan 1 complex in Gumusluk.
cheers

Sally, sorry to hear you are having a rough time with your purchase.

If you had a purchase contract drawn up by a solicitor it is common to include the wording absolving you from all previous sitesi debts on the property.

If you dont have a purchase contract or never used a solicitor this highlights exactly where things can go wrong. In this instance you would be very wise to use the services of a legal representative to act on your behalf.

If you need a good english speaking lawyer in Turkey, please send me a private mail and I will forward you his details.

Merv!
