Title: Property Management.... be careful who you employ
Post by: koukla on July 05, 2014, 19:29:04 PM
A friend of mine who lives half the year in Calis was telling me this morning that he had caught the guy who supposedly cares for the rather nice complex he lives on, tampering with the electricity so that the bill came through his bill rather than to the property management company.  He called out electricity company and they put a stop to it.  Within an hour, the guy (Turkish) who runs the management company along with his English wife,  sent out his own electrician to divert it yet again. Fortunately or nearly unfortunately for this electrician,  my friend caught him and almost strangled him, he was so angry.  The electrician left rather quickly and a bill for about £700, not Lira,  was sent to the management company whereupon my friend began receiving threatening I believe texts but could be email from him.

Not nice eh?  It doesn't affect me as I don't have a home there but tthink it's worth a mention for all who do.

Wouldn't it be a good idea to say who this is.. He may be doing it to others while they are in England..

Yes of course I will because it's only right.  I believe the name of the company would trip straight off my tongue right now but I must get it right.  If I can contact him tomorrow I'll be straight back on with the name for all to see so that they too can watch their backs.  If not, it will be Monday.  Watch this space.    :)

Would that be Elite Property Services, by any chance?

That's the exact name I would have given earlier but I thought it wise to be 100%. Have you heard of this happening before by them?  I do know his name is Fatih  and I'm pretty sure the surname is Atlay or something very similar.  The wife's name is Mandy. I have met him and he's a horrible creature. He once staged a burglary at her apartment before they married. I wouldn't trust that company to deal honestly with anything and I'm not ashamed that I've named and shamed. I just hope they're not up to the same scam anywhere else but do feel that anyone using them should change their maintenance company.  He's a rat!
