Many thanks Bryson for your response. I guess one has to take the risk but I thought they appeared fairly professional and inspired confidence.

Hi Rama

I purchased an apartment last year at villa Tina, i have had no problems with Acron. They have always been honest and professional. But remember you are only buying a long lease unless you are a PIO.

Hi Rama

Yes my apartment was on schedule although a few of the apartments went over the deadline by a few weeks. Overall i was happy with the build quality and design, solar water heating is also a good option if you decide to purchase.

Hi Billy
Many thanks for the response and I am heartened to hear only good things about Acron so far and I am so glad that we are going to be neighbours and it is fantastic that we can have an almost readymade community of friends while we spend time in Goa in the future.

Has anyone worked with interior designers and/or architects in Goa?

Bo Garaam

Hi Everyone

I am new to the site and encouraged to see there are quite a few members who have purcahsed an apartment in Villa Maria. I have purchased in block C. Typically I've left it late but need to sort out furnishing the apartment, not sure if i should ship furniture over to goa or buy over there. Any suggestions as to the best and cheapest option would be greatly appreciated. Also has anyone opted for the Acron offered a/c units?

Hi Bo,we have purchased in block D. We were over in November and visited a showroom in Panjim and were very impressed with the furniture on offer. We will be ordering oures later in year for it to be ready for our next visit in November.(goawayhomes.co.uk).They do variouse fufniture packages to suit differant size appartments but you can ommit certain items or add to.Lady we dealt with is European and part of the set up by the name of Sirpa and foumd her to be very helpful. The only concern we vhad was that they needed all monies up front on ordering.Hope you find this helpful.

Hi Billy, thanks for your message. I checked out the site you recomended looks very good and ideal as they offer furniture packs dependant on type and size of accomodation. From your message I take it your apartment is expected to be ready Nov'08? Block C will be ready soon, I am aiming to go out there in February/March and happy to post photos of the development on my return.

Is there a owners group of people buying in villa maria from the UK?

Hi Bo,our place will be ready same time as yours , its just work is coming at me from all directions at the moment and as i am self employed i need to take it as it comes.There used to be quite a few Villa Maria owners that used to use this site but when things started to go a bit pear shaped regarding FNs owning property in Goa we had some well meaning people with some good advice to give join the thread but it all started to get a bit messy and out of hand. I suppose the villa maria people are still out there,but feel they dont want to get involved with what went on before.Im sure we will meet up at some time but untill then enjoy your apartment.

Hi

My wife and I recently completed a purchase on villa violeta and almost bought on Maria too. We took possession in October and apart from a few minor snags (shower screens incomplete and ext paintwork not 100% and galvanised bolts on the swimming pool steps that rusted through!), its a relatively pleasant experience and Acron do not abandon you once they have your money. We have been back for a two week stay at Xmas but I will say that furnishing and fitting out was more time consuming and difficult than I had expected. I can recommend Habitat for curtains/blinds etc but do not give anyone more than 50% deposit as this speeds up their desire to complete your order. We were fortunate to engage a very helpful taxi driver who we now use on every visit, he helped us no end sorting out electric etc and we use him on every visit now.
Good luck but just remember Rome was not furnished in one day!!

Hello folks,it's been a long time since I logged in to the forum.

I hope everybody is good and finding life in Goa really great !

I don't know whether my flat C2 in Villa Maria has been sold on yet,but if so,happy days for whoever has got it !!

My flat in North Cyprus is finished in late May,so with my impending redundancy money on the way,it is a brilliant piece of timing for me.

Noni... how are you ???

How's the noffi going down these days ??

I hear that the residency issues are still rumbling on,I do hope you good guys get the result you all deserve !!


All the very best wishes

Hope all goes well in Cyprus.
Love Noni

Keep the faith Noni,I'm sure you'll duck under their radar !!

What's the feeling like out there in Goa now ??

Seems to be getting like Britain !!!

Best wishes to all
