very tempting land deal offered

[fred]

No title! Do not touch it.

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!!
