Return of Santan

Well spotted Simon !

Did you or your show biz pals have anything to do with it ? After all the "suspended" ( or possibly Sached ? ) J. Ross's Pa in law DOES live in Goa

Seriously though I think ITV need to be made aware of ALL facts concerning property "purchase " in Goa,warts and all.

I am sure some of you out there are intelligent(devious) enough NOT to give ITV your REAL names or emails for now ?
After all if the BEEB on "Have Your Say " kept their promise of confidentiality I am sure ITV will do the same.

So get contacting them Its our big chance

[QUOTE=Goacrazy56;6925749]Hi 1s Cowell I think everyone that has contacted the foreign office about the property situation for Brits in Goa has received the same standard letter,If I collected them all up I could decorate my lounge with them. QUOTE]

Posh c*w - stop showing off about having a big lounge! Have you seen UK gas prices lateley? & electric prices lately?

[QUOTE=hemingway;6926682] Hemmingway,thanks you have just given me an idea If I collected the letters up I could burn them to keep warm,It would save on the gas bills,or it is bun fire night soon

[QUOTE=Goacrazy56;6927571] At least it's not as bad as a good few years ago - do you remember the 'activists' in Wales?

The 'joke' ended up being: come home to a real fire - buy a holiday cottage in Wales. . . . . . .

[QUOTE=hemingway;6927601] yes, the Welsh Nationalists felt just like some of the Goans do now, but 20 years down the line the welsh villages where the 'outsiders' moved in have been rejuvenated, the traditional cottages have been restored, the schools have been forced to re-open, the local pub has had enough business to stay open, and the rates / council tax income has allowed to local authorities to maintain or improve services. I feel sure the same could be true in Goa

Hi,
I've recently joined the forum. I've been reading about all your experiences. I am considering buying in Goa and in fact will be traveling later this year to view properties. I was born in the UK but recently acquired PIO status which should mean I can legally purchase.
I was very careful to research my status and eligibility to buy both with Goan advocates, the Indian High Commission and a UK based international legal firm that specialises in Goa. I'm not sure I can do much more. If any of you know of any other checks that I need to make - please let me know.

Thanks

PIO Indian

At the end of the articled it says Govt proping Russian mafia - in a different article but that is just rehashing what we have read before.

Also on the same page GOA REALTY DEALS RING ALARM, CENTRE PUTS STATES ON ALERT.

First papagraph. NEWDELHI/PANAJI#

THE UNION FINANCE MINISTER ON THURSDAY ISSUED AN ADVISORY TO AL STATES AND PROPERTY REGISTERING AUTHORITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO SCAN THE DETAILS OF FOREIGN NATIONALS WHO HAVE BOUGHT PROPERTY ANYWHERE IN INDIA.

Will let Andy go on about travel visa's etc. again rehashing.

But more interesting

In the adverts in to-days TIMES OF INDIA
Property Service Agency is looking for a Managing Partner to manage business in Goa. Must have own office or flat which can be used as office.
etc. sound fishy to you. You know the one Goa P.S. Calengute
and advertising in TIMES OF INDIA. Sure Milwart will have something to say about that.

:curse: Do I smell a Rat here! another CG perhaps. Perhaps these are the friends that Milward is talking about.

"Foreigners and Property" story here is a bit more accurate than usual - pity about the unhelpful anecdotal embelishments.

And the inevitable and pointless references to Visa type!
