Buying in Goa
 

Hi,
I just wondered if there is anyone out there currently buying or has bought on Danika Residency, Colva. A group of us are getting a good neighbours group together, to co-ordinate up to date info and to give each other feedback on progress when we are visiting Goa. Please send me a private message with your contact details.

Hi

I am in the final stages of buying an apartment in Micon Plaza on the Benaulim to Colva Road. Will this be anywhere near you?

Re: Buying in Goa
 

Hi,
Yes it is very closeby - opposite side of the road! I will be looking at a flat there for a friend next week. If there is anything I can look at for you while I am there, just let me know. I am leaving here today, so if you send me your email address via a private message on this website I will be in touch.

Best wishes
Pat

Hi we are buying an apartment in Colva called ******* III and will be flying out today for 3 weeks. I have sent you a private message. But would like to be able to stay in touch whilst in Goa - it's always good to speak to other people about their experiences whilst purchasing.

Hi Pat

I have sent you a private message from this website with my email address on it. How does Micon Plaza look? The builder does not send any photos despite numerous requests.
I have now received my letter to take possession and am planning to go to Goa 1st week in December. Will be nice to get in touch if you are still there at the time.
Regards
Jas

Hi Jaswant,

Sorry did not receive the pm with your address, but thought you all might like to know that I was able to photograph inside one of the flats this week. The finish is good and the first coat of paint has been applied outside; and the contractor has said he will be finished in a week.

Am seeing Mr Gomes of Micon on Wednesday?Thursdaqy of this week if anyone wants anything.

Hi - As you are in the final stage of buying have you been able to register your apartment with the Land Registry yet?

Re: Buying in Goa
 

Hi Roy and Pat
I've just found this site and saw that you are also in Danika Residency.
My name's Amar and My wife is Kelly, we have also bought a row house in Danika Residency. we are both PIO's having lived in England for over 40 years, kids grown up and married. We are now looking to retire there (fell in love with Goa on my hols), just been to see our house it's next door to yours no 3. We really are going to be neighbours and look forward to gettiing to know you and all other Brits who are going to be living there.:thumbup:
I was also told that the properties will be ready by end June07 to beginning July 07 and the swimming pool and landscaping by Nov07. Phase one looks great, the build is very good. So keep our fingers crossed that all the Phase 2 will be ok and ready for our autumn/winter holiday.
I am applying for dual citizenship so as to make the process of buying in Goa easier.
Look forward to seeing you all, and have a jolly old knees up.:beer:
PS: How do I email you privately?

Hi

I am buying on Keegan Palms which is on the Benaulim Road, it seems there is a lot being built on that road!

Have you had your property registered now? Are you buying via a company or are you doing the 183 days??

Hi,

Has anyone heard about the project "Saudades Majorda" ?
Is it worth investigating further.
Thnx

Re: Buying in Goa
 

Hi Amar

We are buying in Goa as NRIs. We intend to retire there and also hope to get the dual nationality. Please let me know how your application goes and what problems I need to look out for.:D

Re: Buying in Goa
 

Hi Bandarjoti
Yes as soon as I know what problems are created by HCI, about the dual nationality I will let you know. At the moment I have just put my application in in January 07. One problem I did incur was that all the copy documents must be self attested by the person making the application. As in my case I got my mum to attest hers as I thought it was her passport copies so she should certify them to be true copies, but they were sent back for me to attest them and the extra cost of sending them back again.
Hopefully this will be the one and only problem, fingers crossed. :thumbup:
Cheers
Amar

Re: Buying in Goa
 

Hi Amar
Thanks for the info. I hope all goes well with your application and that this was just a blip. I look forward to hearing about your experiences with the application.
Cheers
Bandarjoti

Re: Buying in Goa
 

Hi Bandarjoti
Just checked my online status with the HCI dual nationality website and it has been granted by Delhi, London's still waiting for the return of the paperwork and certificate. So it wasn't as painful as I thought it would be.
Good luck with your application.
Cheers
Amar

Hi Amar

Thanks for the update. It seems to have been a fairly quick and painless process.

[QUOTE=VandaLey;4813255]Hi Vandeley

Welcome to Daika residency.:thumbsup:

Re: Buying in Goa
 

Hi Amar,
Did you have a pio card before applying for oci or did you go straight for the oci?

I have a pio card and i am thinking of upgrading to oci, but i still have 11 years left on my pio card so im not sure if its worthwhile at this point.

Regards,
Remy

Re: Buying in Goa
 

Hi Remy
No I was a British Passport holder, for the last 40 plus years. I had 5 year Visa which expires this year so I applied for the OCI which was quite a simple process, and got my Dual Citizenship.
It shouldn't make any different to you being an NRI with a PIO card to get registered, you will be wasting money if uou went ahead for an OCI at this stage. Wait till it's ready to expire, then go for it.
Cheers
Amar

Re: Buying in Goa
 

Hi Amar,
Thanks for the reply.
Yes your right. I think i will wait until it nearly expires and then apply.

thanks,
Remy
