Re: GOA - Buyer Beware!
yes it seriously chilled me!
I'm sorry for more questions - but have your lawyers considered an RTI application to the Immigration people, and do you mind if those of us who are currently writing to MP's etc. quote your case (we'd need to PM you for actual identity etc.)

Re: GOA - Buyer Beware!
I too would like to have a pm from you. You should be able to do it now.
You can send the same pm to many people you trust, instead of doing it separately. Good luck.

Re: GOA - Buyer Beware!
Assuming we are referring to Indian lawyers, would that get round the fact that information under the "Right to Information" act is only available to Indian citizens, even though the person concerned is a foreigner. Just that a lawyer in most parts of the world is deemed to be representing his client, therefore these awkward b*ggers would probably argue that it is a foreigner applying for the information.

P.S. if you've been up before the DofE (or had any dealings with them) you may be able to use the RTI to find out the current status).

Re: Posted at the request of A.N.Other
OK from memory (and I've checked quite a few times <bg>) here is the legal position, which of course may differ from the facts on the ground!:
if you are FEMA resident in the year you sell then in theory you are in exactly the same position as a resident Indian Citizen selling their property. If you are a non-resident FN (but were resident when you bought) then you may need RBI permission to sell, but I think that in one of his last posts Douglas said he'd found a rule that said no permission needed.
HOWEVER at present the Sub-Registrar is not registering sales where a FN is involved (I've heard that may even apply to Indian Comapanies with FN directors).

Re: GOA - Buyer Beware!
OK - next question.
If my friends wanted to sell a non registered property could they go back to the builder and say - pretend that they had never bought this and put the paper work back into builders name and sell to this man they have found who wants to buy one of their properties.
I know people have been saying there is a charge by builders to change names but is this how it could happen (simply)?
(never mind how much they may or may not charge you - could it work)?

yes, as people have said - it can be done.
Assuming you have an agreement of sale then you either execute a Deed of Assignment for which you are paid the "sale price" (that is the proper way, or (and with the Registrar playing up this might be better) you make some secure arrangement ('escrow') to hand it over / destroy the Agreement when and only when you've got your money.

Re: GOA - Buyer Beware!
Completely off Topic. Had a lovely weekend for a change, lunch with four BE friends and an invisible one.
Today we were invited to a Goan friends home for lunch and to meet the rest of the family and oh! boy, did they all arrive to 'see' us. We had a wonderful warm welcome, delicious food, and have been invited to other relatives later in the week. Now that is the Goa we used to enjoy years ago, complete harmony with the locals.
That was the Goa we fell in love with.
