Hi my husband and I have bought an appartment off plan with acron homes, it`s something we have wanted to do for a long time, we plan to holiday their for a few years and then hopefully retire summers here winters Goa.
I wondered if any one else had bought properties with Acron or maybe on our development Villa Maria? Our appartment is due to complete December next year any feed back would be apreciated. Rose and Mick.

Just noticed that all the apartments in Villa Maria except 1 one-bedroom, have been sold out.

Hi Remy,

If you read what I said you will see that I have bought and sold on a tourist visa. The residency requirements are not consecutive ergo, you can come and go within the year once the total is over 182 days. You don't have to become resident to buy a property. You are seen as resident if you do the time.

I know what I'm talking about. I live in Goa and I have done it. Not listened to the bountiful rumour mill or the sad stories, but actually done it.

There is a general election coming up in Goa in June and lots of nationalist rhetoric for votes but no change in any laws. It will all vanish after the election and settle down again.

The problem with India is that the rules are not clearly stated, nobody wants to take responsibility for anything so rumour abounds and the gloom merchants love an audience. Enough said.

I have a life so won't get into any more chat, believe what I say or don't.........just wanted to give my experience.

Maryleigh..............

Hi, Maryleigh,
Please - you say you have bought and sold on a tourist visa. Why when we have the "full Sale Deeds" bought on a 5 year x visa do we have to do another 183 days in the fiscal year before we can sell? Please can you explain.
Thanks

hi Dicky, we are also in Siolim but with another developer,will also be there in Nov 07, thanks for the offer anyway. Been a while since i have been on line and reading back on some of the messages it looks as if this thread has picked up a couple of residents of its own.

regards Bill

Please save your cash and rent for now.

FN's are no longer wanted in Goa (India),unless on a 2 week holiday.

Hi Douglas - Why would you still want to live in Goa? The government is corrupt, the developers are self-seeking and the people are just interested in the colour of the tiles. You must be a reincarnation of that Greek philosopher who lived in a tub and dispensed wisdom to the world. Even Alexander the Great could not impress him. May be Acron will give you a free apartment if they knew who you really were!
