[Sallywebstersnipples]

Anyone have recent experience of the cost for first time connection?

Thanks in advance

Water. The connection charge depends upon which belidiye supplies it. The fitting of a meter, piping and deposit if you are in the Esentepe catchment is over 7.5 K TL. Others are much cheaper.

Electricity. The deposit charge depends if you are TC or expat. A recent post stated 450 TL and another poster quoted over 4K. I suggest you contact Kibtek direct for current costs and the location as, no doubt, prices have risen.

You might help yourself if you posted a specific area the enquiry relates to rather than a general all-encompassing question.
Iyi sanslar?

Each situation can differ tremendously . You may be lucky dependent where they take the supply from. Ours was a new build and even though we had a supply approx 50 mtrs behind our house. They would not use it because the land they said was Forestry commision.

So instead we had to wait 17 months and pay around 16 K Stg. to put 11 posts up our lane. (lots of fun). That was 10 years ago.

Thank you Tom & Johnny for your replies.

The property is on a development and is the only property not occupied. All the others are lived in and connected so there are both utilities onsite. Water and electric meters required though.

You still have not stated the area. If others are living on-site, you should ask them what costs they incurred and when.

I would suggest you speak to the developer regarding electric connection as it will require a company to come in to check everything out to ensure it complies with the plans. Only then will Kibtek provide a meter and connect up the electric. We used a company called Just Ltd on the Karaoglanoglu industrial estate.

When I was connected last year,my advocate sorted it all out for us. For a fee of course, she registered the property at the beli and did the kibtec thingy,contacted the builder to prep the electric box outside the house for kibtec to fit the meter,we have a well so can’t comment about the water. It suits me because I can’t be arsed getting involved with the mundane stuff especially when I can just pay someone else to do it. Lol

There's nothing wrong with that as long as it's someone that actually gets on and does what they are supposed to do!

Who was your avukat if you don't mind saying? - they sound like a gem!

When we bought our place in 2015, water meter and supply were already installed - we just had to register with the belediyesi, but there was no electricity meter. We were fortunate in that our TC friends put us in contact with their long-time "family noter" (not avukat) who handled all their legal business - she's best described as the original "irresistable force" that overcomes supposedly immovable objects; she obtained our PTP in a few weeks(!!), when arranging electric meter installation, producing/obtaining documentation etc from Tapu, other departments and the original vendors - queues don't exist(!) - our experience of buying and "setting up" was totally painless, simpler than when we bought our house 50 years ago in the UK! This was despite the fact that our turkish is non-existent and her english minimal, and while she had carried out numerous "inter-TC" property sales, had limited experience in "foreign" purchasers' business.
I can't recommend her highly enough, and if anyone is interested, her name is Ayşen Fatma Çavuş, Tel:0533 841 90 74 (based in Lefkoşa).
Another we have used, recommended by our neighbours/friends (and now by us) is Munir Akil, Tel: 0392 815 79 35 (based in Girne) - if I recall correctly, he was praised on this or another forum for the sterling and successful work he did in gaining compensation over a problematic (dubious) property transaction.

i was just looking on the KibTek website ahead of arriving next Sunday 29th to complete on Monday 30th and was wondering, apart from the obvious, what are and why i would need, an "Empty Wooden Drum" and a "Second Hand Pole"?
