Hi Cherie, there are often second hand sky dishes advertised in the papers, on notice boards, on websites etc. You should have no trouble finding one.

Hi Cherie

Do you already live in Cyprus and have bought in coral bay, I was looking at buying in Coral bay myself until I was told the church owns the land there, so I bought in Paphos instead??? I would love to know if this is true, or just another lie the developer told me?? I would advise anyone in Cyprus to put a padlock on their wallet as the Cypriots are brilliant at emptying them.

I could give you a list of people who will tell you that there are a lot of Brits over here who will empty your wallet and still not even give you what you paid them for

I totally Agree with you, the sales rep who was dealing with me was from the midlands in the UK and was working for the developer, he was great telling me I can do this and do that, I bought it and he didn't want to know, I am lucky I am young and will get my investment back with a little hard graft, I really feel sorry for the people who have retired and moved over there with all the problems with the deeds, and the Cypriot property developers taking mortgages out on the land so it isn't even owned, Just glad now they have joined the EU and will have to stick to strict guide lines, but we will have to see

Veronica my Problem is with the huge Cypriot developers not the small companies who actually look after their clients, They charge twice as much as the property is worth, you then have to buy your deeds after 3 to 5 years for £3500?????
The solicitors are in the developers pockets the list goes on, This is my opinion because its happened to me, other people may have been lucky with no problems


The Guy who owes <snip> has a huge house which looks over our development, I have had problems with walls going black, electric going off all day, the pool keeps being closed because it has bad algea, even though we pay for it to be cleaned????? and now we have paid we have no rights nothing and no-one wants to know only the CPAG (Cyprus Property Action Group) who are fighting the Cypriot goverment over corruption

I agree with you totally joe, we had problems with the same company (I had to snip the name again, please dont mention it).
They are one of the worst offenders and do not give damn about clients once they have their money. The daughter also has a huge house which is just above the village we live in (no longer in one of their properties I hasten to add)
