Title: Various bits and pieces
Post by: Steve B on February 17, 2005, 16:48:24 PM: So here we go...

I purchased the property on the last couple of days of my holiday last year and didn't have time to sort out arranging how to pay bills i.e Gas, Electric and other charges, perhaps there is a council tax?

I have a Turkish account with Guaranti bankasi, so can I sort these bills out via direct debit?

Does it cost much to transfer monies from English bank to Turkish bank?

Is there any basic home insurance I should have?

I will need 2 aircon units fitted. Any suggestions on make and who to use?

Is broadband or equilavent available in calis?

And I think thats about it.. Don't want a lot do I:P

Ohh cheers for the furniture advice looks like that Erin Spot is the place. Ohh one other thing do Erin Spot deliver?

Gas bills, transfer money, house insurance, airconditioners, ADSL/Broadband.

PS ERUN deliver very very very quickly if they have in stock.

Other wise what did you pay your deeds money for? It is all included and makes up the amount you pay for deeds.I would hot foot it back to them and get them to sort it quickly.

Post by: Scunner on February 17, 2005, 20:27:22 PM: I think it is EREN Spot Dave.

Apparently there is another place called Erogenous Spot, Mrs Scunner told me all about but I can't find it.

Anyway, to get back on topic - we have broadband here, it's more like slightly bigger than narrowband compared with the UK, but it is ok.

Post by: xanadu on February 17, 2005, 20:50:58 PM: Is it "Eren Spot Dave", that we look for? ..........Or,"Eren Spot", Dave. Because I thought the owner was Bekir. Could you clarify Scunner?
