(c) the roof mounted water pumps [failures reported apparently due to seizure of the impeller blades]. Owners are advised to run the pumps regularly in order to avoid build up of dirt and/or mineral deposits which appear to be the cause of the problem.

Chairman K3OG Deputy Chairman K3OG
Dear Mr Georgiou,
Subsequent to your visit and our discussion we confirm the following. Firstly we would like to apologise for any confusion caused subsequent to receiving our previous correspondence. We will endeavor to be as informative as possible and in future should you have any further queries please do not hesitate to contact me. Please also keep in mind we are unable to provide an update every time we receive some new information. This is humanly impossible due to the number of projects we have and number of clients we have. We would suggest you email me an on a bi-annual basis and we will gladly respond with whatever update if any. Please also note that the process is elaborate and yes tedious. This is however not dependant on us but on various government departments and besides various decisions made by government that the process of facilities have been put into place we have yet to see any difference in the system.
Below find exactly what we have received and what is pending.

Please note that we have included ‘Konia Village 1,2 & 3’ as the plots of land before made into three separate projects were made up of various plots. These plots were amalgamated and then subdivided to the result of Konia Village 1,2 & 3. You will see that we are still pending the certificate of approval for the subdivision in addition to the certificate of approval for all the blocks. Only once we receive this including the certificate of approvals for the individual blocks we can apply for the horizontal subdivision. This is the application to separate all the properties and the communal areas. Only once we have achieved this can we then proceed with the application for the title deeds from the Land Registry. It is very difficult to estimate how long any of the above will be received, the reason being that we have no benchmark to base anything on. We have so many different experiences and variables with this regard depending on items like; size of project, location/municipality, inspector, type of project etc etc. What we can say however is, please rest assured that we are doing whatever is possible to expedite the matter. We assist and provide the relevant departments with whatever/ if at all needed timeously. We request that you are patient and as said previously we will gladly provide any update upon request. Assuring you are best attention at all times.
