There are one or two drawbacks to living in Goa, Dr F. I've been there a number of times and, lovely as it is for a two week break, it would be one of the last places I would choose if I were to up sticks. I suppose it depends what sort of conditions you are living in here in the UK.
Also, unlike the UK, India is a little choosey about who it allows to settle and buy property within its borders. This extract from the Reserve Bank of India's guidance memo explains:
"Foreign nationals of non-Indian origin resident outside India are not permitted to acquire any immovable property in India unless such property is acquired by way of inheritance from a person who was resident in India. "
It goes on:
"Foreign Nationals of non-Indian origin, other than a citizen of Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, China, Iran, Nepal or Bhutan, [who are not allowed to acquire property under any circumstances] can acquire immovable property in India on becoming resident in India in terms of Section 2(v) of the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999. In this connection, he has to satisfy the condition of period of stay. The type of visa granted should clearly indicate the intention to stay in India for an uncertain period to determine his residential status in terms of section 2(v) FEMA, 1999."
I only mention this to highlight the difference between the "turn up and play" attitude to foreigners purchasing property in the UK with that prevalent elsewhere.
Still, back to your question (which I know you mean to be tongue-in-cheek) I suppose if a two week break in Magaluf steels the likes of White Dee into action so that she is raring to go and find some work on her return it could be seen as a worthwhile investment (NJ extracts own tongue from cheek) :-)
