Their quality is poor. In terms of thermal insulation they do not vary so much, they do not vary at all. Thermally, they are all poor. The name the builder gave you "Luke isi" appears a total of 0 times on Google so researching them would probably be difficult.
Yesterday they were Thermalite blocks (a trademarked, white concrete block manufactured by Thermalite) and you know that because you saw them in the garden - today they are terracotta as shown in the photograph that you claim you already had when claiming they were Thermalite! You also claimed it is impossible to know what the fabric of the building was, under the façade, because the properties were nearly finished. Again, you wrote that -nthen claimed you already had the photo I posted. The photo that shows....let me think on this one...ah yes, the fabric of the building under the façade..!
I have no idea why you think people are being rude. People (not just me) have seen the fresh British lamb going to the slaughter many, many times in the Turkish property market and we have members of this forum who are paying a mortgage they obtained for a property in Turkey they didn't even get to legally own, and will be doing so for a decade or two yet - because they fell into well known traps.
These people (not just me) are quite possibly rude, but we are trying to help you - you can't see that and assume we are ridiculing you or something. We are not - we are offering, freely, our experience and if there is any sense of rudeness it is actually frustration that you are going out of your way to find ways of convincing yourself that your builder and therefore you are right, and all of us who went through this (some of us many times) are wrong, and nasty.
I would call this rude, but not rude enough to have bleated on about it:
As for you having a million more times experience than me in the Turkish property market, good for you !
I find it rude firstly because it is at a level I would expect in an argument with my kids. But mainly because me having experience of many hundreds of property purchases in Turkey, and now no longer having any property or involvment in property there now, it is not good for me. It is of no use to me at all. The whole idea was that it might be good for
you.
But one thing I did learn in my years of property dealing is that there is a certain number of people that cannot be saved from themselves. All the rest of us can do is realise that and let you get on with it.
CBF is 12 years old and we have had countless requests for information on all manner of things, not just property. Regular members will recall the number of times people have asked for advice and get upset when the advice doesn't match exactly their own thoughts. They don't want any opinions that don't agree with their own.
If you found this post rude, good for you. For the record I can do rude very well, I haven't for many months though.
