Title: Maintenance and military clearance
Post by: mike77777777 on February 01, 2011, 11:56:59 AM: Hello 2 questions here. Hope this is ok.
Can anyone give me any info on A2Z maintenance. They are being appointed to run our appartment . Are they good bad etc.. do they provide additional services such as laundry etc.. They are due to contact me...but just wondered about your views.
Before I get my Tapu I need military clearace .. does this take long or is it an excuse not to give me my Tapu...

Thanks Mike

As for the reasoning behind it - just accept it as another "tax" on house purchase, selling agents have no control over it.

Don't know about your Maintenance Company, try the Search facility at the top of the page.

If yours is much more than that sort of timescale then you need to ask why. Often the military application simply wasn't made.

thanks

As for A2Z we used them to do a spring clean and ended up spending 5 hours cleaning the place ourselves! Maybe that was a one off but I wouldnt go near them now.[:(!]

I thought that you had to get military clearance before you got your Tapu

Post by: TheBruces187 on February 02, 2011, 19:56:39 PM: I agree with Chinook. My belief is that you can't have your TAPU issued until you have military clearance. Seems to make sense that you are sure you able to buy the property you want in Turkey, before you hand over the cash.
