Re: GOA - Buyer Beware!
What does Ghate expect to gain from the consfication of properties sold to foreigners. Perhaps he is looking to get back ancestral lands with considerably improved property on the at knock down prices.

Re: GOA - Buyer Beware!
Should anyone have been defrauded by CG (in my case he "sold" me an apartment that he had already sold to someone else, and "sold" me a second apartment on a project that didn't exist) please drop me a private message and I will give you the contact details of the detective at Colchester CID who is investigating

Re: GOA - Buyer Beware!
Thank you Tracy for your kind response, we are pleased that we endorsed your decision. As advocadogreen says there will probably be a lot of disillusioned foreigners apearing over the next couple of years. We also thought advocadogreens previous post on the realities of the company route was an excellent piece.
In summary,wev'e all been seduced by the Goan dream but the reality is somewhat different.
Unfortunately advocates are still advising prospective buyers to form a company on a tourist visa, which is incorrect. The danger here is applying western standards to professionals in India and our expectation of western levels of competence, and integrity. Furthermore there is little acountability.
Your losses and dissapointment could have been even greater if you had continued with your purchase.

Are you still there???
