Hi Debbie,
Thanks for replying, I'm afraid I've just gone and given them even more money 3 weeks ago when I was in Turgutreis because I thought if I give the builder the £500 he wants I will then be able to get my tapu. I also paid taxes and water and electric reconnection amounting to approx £1400. They did not tell me about suspension of tapu at that point. I think all I can do now is wait for tapu susension to be lifted and demand my tapu.
