Keith well said absolutely spot on . Happened to me. Got ok from belediye then went ahead with work and when completed or nearly a neighbour complained and the belediye still said its ok. She complained to Mugla who came down and over rided what Fethiye had said. Money down the drain and alot of fall outs. This was over a roof that was 25cm higher than it should have been. My advice would be check check and double check before any work is done. The Turkish belediye (council) in my experience will let you do whatever and then deny responsability. Ofcoarse not in all cases but if their superiors in mugla get involved you are in trouble.
I must agree with hoops man. We have a block of apartments at the back of our house that we understand should have been two blocks of semi detached houses similar to the ones we have. The building plot was a lake and was filled in with lots of rubble - left to stand for a few months and then suddenly a block of 12 (I think that's the number) apartments were built.
After less than a year we noticed that they were starting to lean and now, after 3 or 4 years they are leaning terribly and flooding every winter. They also cause problems for us as the water keeps seeping into our garden which means we have to have a pump on 24/7.
My question is 'who gave the planning permission and why?' We have contacted the local council and they have done nothing. You have to feel for those that bought from this cowboy builder and now have apartments that are pretty much useless.
