100% agree with you Remy,I re-iterate Until this get out of Goa and Delhi do step in, we will be having this same discussion in 5 years time. That is if we haven't had the property confiscated or in my case my lease not re-newed which my builder as openly said he is not going to re-new as he want to sell the property on to the boys from Delhi or out of state.We only paid to have the place built,we own nothing according to him.
I would welcome Delhi stepping in at least we would know one way or another where we stood.Then if they give us the money back we can go else where and holiday where we are wanted.I suspect Delhi know what is going on. Look at the couple in the Sunday Times who went to Delhi for their visa and was told to go home and had their papers thrown in the bin.They had lived in Goa for 10 yrs on X visas.I think there is an hidden agenda and It isn't helping us Brits this is a worry![Thumb Down](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/thumbdown.gif)

If you register your property Andy, you may have them on your back and then another battle has to be won, and more years of stress.
Can't wait to go back for the Season.

Like others on this site, I do not want my money back but wish this issue could be resolved and I had peace of mind that my property and assets will not be taken from me. Like others I have gone through all the correct and official channels of buying.
I am aware that the Goan Authorities have to do their investigations but why are these investigations taking so long to complete? These have been going on since mid 2006.
This property issue needs to be sorted ASAP for all concerned.
There is no doubt these reports in the International Media will put further tourists off going to Goa and affect the Goan economy. As reported in the Goan Press last week, 200 charter flights have pulled out this season and that is only the start of things to come. After all, people will not go where they are not really wanted will they? It is very sad that it has come to this and it will be very hard for Goa to attract all these lost tourists back, if ever.

It is a great tragedy for both foreign purchasers, holiday makers and the normal 'man in the street' Goan. But they wished us gone Sunglow. In all walks of life, be careful what you wish for.

"YOU NEVER MISS THE WELL TILL THE WATER RUNS DRY".
When hotels, restaurants etc are mostly empty maybe they will realise what they have done, but sadly it maybe will be too late as there will be no going back.
Sunglow.

hi, i was one of those who had the chance to sell my appartment on sale agreement a year ago,i once like most of you loved goa,but sorry to say it,not anymore,had it to my head.now i live in brasil,happily,,better life.yes there is bureaucratic stuff,but all can all be done through the brasilian consulate in london.hassle free.the properties still affordable,and there is a lot of expats living in the same spot out in north east of brasil,were the is warmer,and nicer.if any doubt pm.and good luck to everyone.
Hi Harry 1 and all,
Thanks for sharing your info with us all.
Well, you took the bull by the horns when you decided to move out. This is the decision that I will also make and soon.
The worry of it all is getting too much!
WHY OH WHY IS IT TAKING SO LONG FOR THE GOAN GOVENMENT TO COMPLETE THIS INVESTIGATION?
If they are going to take our properties then bl***y get on with it! Do it!
One thing I will say is, the Brits will never go without a bl**dly good fight!
THIS ISSUE NEEDS RESLOVING AND SOON! Already some of the world's press knows what's going on therefore think this thing needs winding up and closing before it does more damage to the Goan tourist industry.
Goa is not moving forward with the rest of the world.
Goan needs to clean up the rubbish tips and the beaches bit time and make ALL people welcome!

I`m sure all of us have thought of where we will end up when we are told to leave this paradise. I`m going to Swindon.
