    I am getting taken to have a look at the place very soon all I know is that its flat land with access road etc but has no title .but ive been told getting a title is pretty straight forward here done through the baranguy captain .not sure on the expense but for that amount of money its got to be worth a gamble .its about 14 miles outside the city of bacolod classed as agricultural ,the house was used as a holiday home for the jap guy ive been told the house alone is worth over a million pesos the widow can,t afford the run the place and just wants to off load quickly .i,ll know more soon and report back lol.good opportunity to do some turkey breeding or something its got a barbed wired fence all around the boundry apparently.

    yes ive heard some of the horror stories but ive also heard from other expats that they have got titles but in there wives name of course .it all depends on the individual cases lots of ifs and buts .so i,ll be asking all the right questions and if it looks good it will be done through the legal channels .

    You need to go very careful as all land has a title if it is legally owned. Do some research first and find who really owns it. Then, if all is clean make a stupid offer .... if she wants to offload, offer 300k
    If you want your dreams to come true ...... first you have to wake up

    Apart from 2 lots..All the land we have bought in previous years has been Tax declaration land.. Its all titled now via the DENR and Land registry office...
    Yes..I've read and heard all the horror stories..
    Tiger.. If I were you I`d spend a couple of days investigating..
    Have your Mrs talk to all the neighbours.. They usually know a lot about local land history.. Visit the DENR and the BIR and ask them to check for warning signals or liens..Then do the same in the Municipal hall and the local Barangay hall.. Ask lots of nosy questions..
    Usually,problems crop up because of past inheritance issues..
    Thats about all you can do..
    Good luck and hope it all pans out.. Sounds like a bloody good bargain!!

    This is what my attorney in Palawan required from me to progress with buying land, it may help

    1. get a copy of certificate of non-encumbrance from the provincial assessor's office to ensure if the property is still in the possession of the seller and to determine if it is not mortgage to anyone;

    2. get a barangay certification to determine that the property is owned by the seller;

    3. get a copy of public land application from the seller to determine if the property is ready for titling;

    if you have these documents, you can proceed to the buying of the property

    Like you say Tiger.. Its always a bit of a gamble but if you do the things that have been suggested it changes the odds quite a lot in your favour..
    If the worst came to the worst and someone filed a case against you dont forget it can take years and years to get resolved through the courts...
    Im sure it wont come to that though..

    I and my family are also in to it. We also bought land/s without the title as long as we have the paper that says we acquired the lot from Mr. or Mrs. Who. The price offered to you is once in a blue moon. What you have to do is go to the brgy. captain and they'll do the letter for you having a witness of 2-4 person.

    very true the only good thing about it was the fact it had a clean title which I was givin a copy of .but when I got there I was bitten by mossies which put me in a bad mood straight away There was running water and electric too .its just the location that put me off really plenty of fruit trees etc .T he house that I thought or was told was for sale is actually for sale but thats even more complicated the jap owner is 80 and his wife died aged 40 but nobody knows where the jap guy is so the property will sit around in limbo lol
