Have not done this recently but if your house previously had a meter that has been removed just go to Kibtek with your address & any details you have about whose name it might have been in. If the property has never had a meter you will need professional electrical drawings showing all power points, light fittings etc etc this has to be approved by Kibtek before they will fit a meter. If you do not have these drawings you need to speak to your builder/architect or the person you bought from.

In our case (Sep 2015), our apartment had no meter although the three others in the block were fitted (the apartments had actually been built three/four years earlier, but ours had not been occupied) . We were not asked for drawings, but after visiting the Kibtek office, an official came to (cursorily) check the system - but failing to spot a non-connection in a light socket! A meter was soon fitted afterward. A deposit of 1400 tl was required which is refundable if/when you sell to another, so keep the receipt safe.

Yes of course Jofra Kibtek would have had the plans for your block as there were already 3 meters fitted however yes and no does not give any details of their particular circumstances so it is difficult to give them specific advice.

The property I’ve bought has never had a meter,but others on the site have so I suppose kibtec will already have drawings of the sockets etc,from a similar house. So I’ll probably need the address and number of the house. Will I need the kocan As well ?

We took number and address (obviously so they would know where to fit the meter ); we also took copies of the sales contract (can't remember whether they looked at them), but not the Kocan - we didn't get that until eighteen months later (very quick!). Best to take whatever you've got and not need it, rather than have to make repeat trips...

Hi thanks for that. How long did it take them to fit the meter please?

Again, can't remember exactly , but after the initial visit to Kibtek office, a couple of days to the inspection visit, and then a few more to fitting of the meter - definitely less than two weeks overall!
