Kevin O'Kane - ran off with 10million GBP (if I'm to believe the press)
TH4S is so right.....what did all these buyers have in common....? (Again, if we are to believe the press)...None of the buyers used a solicitor and none of the buyers had looked into the background of the villas so goodness knows what they had bought..... fresh air
A licenced estate agent AND a solicitor is the safest way to buy (DON'T ! HAND OVER THE CASH LIKE BUYING A SECOND HAND CAR as someone else posted on another thread!!!!!!!) The licenced estate agent and the solicitor will show you the land ownership and thus the building rights BEFORE you hand over any money.....
Just because an estate agency window, website or business card might say that they're licensed, it doesn't mean they are....see the proof for yourself.....(certificate with photo from Chamber of Commerce). This license is their control....if it's taken away the agents will not be able to operate legitimately in the future ALSO tax office registration is important. The tax man regulates offices in Turkey.
No regulation over estate agents?.....this week I've had the tax man in, the Chamber of Commerce and even the health and safety inspectors!
Just like London buses....
