Title: Finally Legal !
Post by: KKOB on September 28, 2018, 20:49:16 PM
Just 14 years after being built, our house has been declared legal and has been removed from the 'Kaya Valley Demolition List'.

I've just spent a week of shuffling around the Foreigner Police, PTT, Council Offices, Noter, Kaya Muhtar, Council Offices again, PTT again, Kaya again, Council Offices again, and finally we've completed the process that the 'illegal building amnesty' has allowed the house we had built on our land to have a Habitation Certificate and to have its own TAPU.

The property, a large, 3 bedroomed, family farmhouse of 380 square metres including the covered terrace on 8,500 square metres of mixed gardens and approximately 450 eucalyptus trees will be going on the open market in the next few days. If you're seriously interested in details of the property and its price, please feel free to contact me.   ;)

That's great. Pleased to hear you've benefited from the amnesty.

Villagers have been throwing up properties all over the village this year I'm told by people that live there.

Yep. The whole village is a construction site. The trucks are using the forest roads that go up through Belen and then join the mountain road into Fethiye just as it levels out by the Yoruk Cemetary. They're doing that to avoid the Jandarma who are staked-out waiting for them at Karakeciler Camii.

The normal suspension of building works during the tourist season have been dropped and replaced by a rule saying that work mustn't start before 8am or finish after 6pm. But, as usual, that's being ignored. Apparently, there were footings being poured at midnight on 2 sites in Belen this week.

Great to hear you have finally sorted it KKOB, I thought at first it was a thinly veiled advert for a property sale  ;)

You know me Keith. I'd never even consider such a disgusting, underhand move like that.  ;)

Well done KKOB.  Sad you have to sell but hopefully it will sell easily and you can move on with life.  Good luck.

Council Offices again, and finally we've completed the process that the 'illegal building amnesty' has allowed the house we had built on our land to have a Habitation Certificate and to have its own TAPU.

 So did you not have a habitation certificate and tapu? I thought if you had those you would be legal.

We had TAPUs for the 2 parcels of land. But, as Hanel Houses built the property illegally, we never got a Habitation Certificate, nor were the Council Taxes paid.

It's cost us roughly £7,000 to get it all sorted out, but it's virtually doubled the value of the property.

We bought a Hanel House in 2003 and sold it in 2012. I wonder how many houses they built that were illegal?

The wording of the amnesty I read on one website suggested that even though you have a Tapu and Habitation certificate, the property could be illegal. The reason given was that the final build did not match the plans originally submitted by the builder.

It was also suggested to me some years ago that properties in Calis with balconies on the second level are illegal. Was this just another rumour or is there any truth in this?

Probably far easier to count the ones that WERE legal.

Flippin Heck!!!! a result after a long drawn out few years

Really chuffed for you and the Mrs and hope it sells quick.  Its a beautiful house and seen it many times on walks in Kaya

I dont know who told us when we bought our Golden Moon House 16yrs ago, it must have been on here, as we knew nowt !!!! only from info on CBF.

Most important thing to look for when we went to the tapu office with the little ole man who owned the land and Mete that check, check, check that there was a K in a certain box on the Tapu!!!

I remember being in a state of Paranoia , as I wouldnt sign it without triple checking it and the tapu, to me didnt look a very professional document lol.  The man behind the counter was getting very impatient as large queue behind us.

I must have checked it 20 times, signed came out, still not sure completely sure that it wasnt dodgy. Then when we couldnt get our tapau for 6mths because they werent issuing tapu's, was convinced that we werent legal.

We was of course and the rest is history.

So many folk I know, had homes, that were illegally built, and have been going thru the same.

I assume that does not happen anymore????
