I just could not believe what I was reading, and like others after reading Blue Max, and finding out on Google what a troll was, I now find we have another. Are all Trolls Indians? :curse: Well !! This post has certainly got us sitting up and spitting feathers!! It always amuses me when folks generalise about us poor northerners:lol: (SNIP) In my opinion the majority of Goans who sold their land to developers didnt give a toss about 'riff raff' northerners buying apartments. They didnt do it for any reason other than profit. They are only complaining now cos prices have risen above expectations and are sorry they didnt hold out longer. I still have Goan aquaintances who own land and are desperate to sell it for profit. They are not the slightest bit bothered what happens to it as long as they make a killing. The only thing they are worried about now is that prices will go down now FN's are excluded. Is LondonTom a full time Goan? I wonder. For all we know he enjoys a nice long UK visa, lives in harmony with his UK neighbours (obviously Southern upperclass:rofl:), in a home without threat of loss or expulsion. But for him its obviously a case of 'Do as I say, not do as I do' regards Andyru |

Hi Jonny,
I have not invested. I will explain in more detail; The reason why I know a lot about this project is that a significant proportion of the site is infact owned by members of my family. I must admit that I also have an additional personal interest in that I have houses and land in the local vicinity, and believe that if ANY large tourist development was to come up, it would spoil the whole area. North Goa has been completely spoilt by cheap tourism and riff-raff from the North of England "buying" their apartments, and I certainly would not like them appearing on my doorstep!!! The sooner that the Indian Government only issues an absolute maximum of 3 months validity on tourist visa's to foreign nationals, the better. Apart from some of the cheap Russians that have appeared in recent years, that part of South Goa is still relatively peaceful and unspoilt. I cannot really elaborate or comment on any link or dealings that I may or may not have had with Claremont at the present moment in time - but when the project is cancelled I will be in a position to go into far more detail should you be interested. The next time that you are in Goa, I suggest that maybe you go and have a chat with the guys at the local Panchayat - they will tell you exactly the same as i have about the site. In due course, If you or any others have problems getting your deposit back, let me know, as I do have access to all the documentary evidence to prove what I have told you. I hope that this helps, and answers your questions. Kind regards Tom the Goans of course, for selling their land, local Panchayat etc for taking the backhanders. :curse: Do they care about their communities - I think not. :thumbdown: Would you be treated anywhere in the UK the way we are treated in Goa? :frown: Are you cheated out of your property? Would your UK advocate be allowed to just con you with the legal work? Our Government falls over themselves to treat you fairly. After 20 years it has been a rude awaking to find out that all along we have been taken for ride by the people, who we had loved and helped, both manually and financially. This year they are going to be the losers as we all be keeping a tight hand on our money. Not the UK ATM's anymore. I hope that you and your ilk will take over helping the locals, but I expect that will be too much to hope for, as all the UK indians I have come across especially those in the South just talk to the locals like s**t, as if they are just servants. At least we treat them with respect until then do something to upset us. |

Hi J,
Welcome to the forum. As a PIO you are free to invest in property (other than agricultural land), in Goa. Check the Govt of India regulations. With regards to the First Goa development however, despite what the developers may tell you, it is extremely unlikely to go ahead for many reasons including the fact that the developers do not yet own the site which it is planned on!!!. I would strongly recommend to you (or anyone else looking at buying in this development) not to part with any money. Are you looking purely in terms of investment, to let out, or for your own use? Kind regards Tom |
First Goa development - from today's Herald: connected?
I'm unsure if this is connected to the same 'land' that was to be used for the 'First Goa' development. . . . . . . . . . . .

Hi Tom
I have been away on business so sorry I did not reply sooner. I went to see the site in Betul and it was absolutely fantastic. I think the developer is still having issues with planning. I met with the local Claremont guys in Goa and they seem to have a very good team in Goa. I'll keep you posted on how things go Jonny :thumbsup: You are correct - this is exactly the same land that the Claremont group are under the impression that they "own" Jonny - now that this thread has returned to normality, please could we have an update from the developers perspective? Kind regards Tom |
