DAILY STAR: Negros Oriental

I knew him because he give many good advised especially to many expats who are victims on some land they bought who have no propers papers,land despute etc.....This will give us a lesson.So be careful in land buying there, as I'm a victim also.What you have to do if you like to buy a land, you look a land who have a clean title or you ended up in the court fighting like me....and might end we are the loser.

Oh yeah. Here are my two cents about land acquisitions here in the Pinas, specifically Negros Oriental. Being a local unwilling victim at least twice, here are some pointers that I've learned along the way of acquiring land. Ask for a photocopy of the title or at least for some numerical info: specific location/address of property, lot number, title number--these are great starts. Then hang up the conversation for a while. Go yourself or send a reliable friend to the Register of Deeds and check the validity of your data. If they exist, well, there's one more thing: check the back of the title for possible notations and annotations on mortgages and such other binds. having said these, you might find yourself in a better and stronger position to pursue or not pursue. There are those who sell without a proper title--know what, no matter how nice one can be, just say NO DEAL. I made a mistake or should I say I was a victim of fraudulent approach by a FRIEND in dire need of money. I bought her property due to the tug in my heart having heard about her plight and all...only to discover that the property, although titled, was mortgaged. It took over three years to get the whole process done and still had to spend for coverage of the mortgage. Then there are those who sell other people's properties--ha! BE WARY. This can be a scary experience worth several nightmares. When selling or leasing out a property, one needs to be honest: the buyer must ask even the most daring questions like "Is this land under disputes? Is it titled? etc." the vendor should be appreciative of these questions and if not, then be wary.

At risk of repeating, even after confirming title, registry, have the land re surveyed by a liscensed engineer. then make sure (if you have not already) visit property, make sure there are no squatters residing there and or farming the land, they can legally assert rights to ownership or improvement costs.
This from an experience my filipina friend had. you don't have to be a foreigner.

Better check locally for tenants too. If anythings growing on your lot, you're going to have to pay the person that planted it.

Hehehehehe
