Hi Scunner. At this stage I'm relucant to reveal where our property is - not because I distrust any CBF members - but in an effort to prevent this topic heading off down the lines of name calling a certain well known (to CBF members) developer in the area from whom we orginally purchased our property. As things progress I've no doubt you will work out who it was. Also, although I have my suspicions they are behind this new development I'm not sure so am being cautious as to what I say, keeping to the facts - as I see them - and avoid speculation.
It's a long story that started over two years ago now when we were approached by the developer from whom we brought our property who offered to move our gates at no cost because we were 'valued customers'. They wished to develop the land in front of our property for a 'client'. When we refused all went quiet until September last year when we were approached by the new owner who offered to work with us for the benefit of us all. This arangement seemed to be going along nicely and we verbally agreed what work i.e moving of the gates would be carried out. On arrival back in UK we emailed a plan of what had been verbally agreed. This person has now sold the plot onto another builder only known to him as 'Mustapha'
- hmmm!
We've been back to the our original builder and seen the original plans. I've no doubt our property was built in accordance with local planning/development regs. Our proprty had been allocated 'house' number on the Sokak that used to be in front of our house and on which these properties have now been buily.
As far as I can ascertain in the interveining period from when we were first approached two years, certain things have gone on whereby small parcells of land have been re-allocated/redesignated thereby allowing a piece of land to 'grow' until it was the right size for development.
Like I say, I do appreciate things are done differently in Turkey but to actually landlock a property seems to be absolute nonsense. Hence this posting in an effort to determine if we have any right of access.
