Tips for Property Buyers in Goa

Goa has unique property laws due to its Portuguese heritage. Some areas follow the Comunidade system of land ownership. Always verify if the property has proper "sanad" (conversion order) from the Mamlatdar. North Goa (Calangute, Mapusa) and South Goa (Margao, Vasco) have different benchmark values.
