Electric meters

[mark swift]

Hello all

i have introduced myself quite a while ago, but once again my name is Mark and I have built a villa in Uzumulu close to the village, my friend built one at same time on a plot next to me. we both used same builder, they were completed last April, since then I have been concerned that we only have One electric meter which supplies both villas, the builder tells me this is normal till electric company allow seperate supplies and and seperate meters, which he says can be up to another 2 years, in the mean while a bill comes to me and we have to kind of split what our usage is between the 2 villas.

I am still argueing with builder and told him this is not right, we bought seperate plots of land, both with builing permission which obviously includes power and water supplies.

Is anybody else in this situation, or has been in this situation as the buider says this is standard practice in Uzumulu.

Do you have your TAPUs yet? If you have, are the plot numbers different?

Hi Mark, I have a semi detached villa near the centre of the village, it was built 5 years ago. We have one supply from the electricity pole but have seperate meters for each villa, but it only one plot divided in half with each owner havinbg TAPU for 50% ownership. If you have seperate plots you should have seperate supplies and this would proberly have happened if there were two seperate builders, sounds if he's trying it on to save himself a paying for two supplies. Perhaps someone else on the forum might be able to explain how to get another supply put in and how much ! Did you have a contract? Good luck. Paul.

You should have seperate meters if you have seperate Tapus and plot numbers.

Dear Mark, the builder is lieing but hey there is no such thing in Turkey as standard practice!We are in a complex of 9 villas - none of the 9 centrally located meters relate to the appropriate house! Our bill for our electric usage comes in a neighbours name! I have tried to sort out the problem for the past 18 months but without success. I now just live with it and pay our bill but in someone elses name! If the builder won't help you could try to find an approved electrician to install a separate meter - but you will end up paying. Welcome to the joys of Turkish life!!! Good Luck
