Given this scenario, an extremely important point that you mustn’t neglect is the choice of a real estate developer. Finding a developer that is renowned in terms of transparency, compliance with the law, on-time delivery, as well as for state-of-the-art projects, is worth the effort of research.
If you are choosing to invest in an under-construction property, as long as the project you are picking is RERA-registered, you would have the assurance of greater transparency and compliance from developers. At Ashray Developers, all our projects are RERA-registered, and we are known for both on-time delivery and quality luxury real estate projects in Goa.

What kind of payment plan are you looking at?
Financing your Goa villa comes with more flexibility than most buyers expect. Indian residents can access home loans from leading banks (SBI, HDFC, ICICI) for up to 75–80% of the property value, with current interest rates ranging from 8.5% to 9.5% on a 15–20 year tenure.
NRIs and OCIs are fully eligible for home loans in India, repayable only through NRE/NRO accounts or inward foreign remittances no special RBI approvals required for residential property.
If you're buying an under-construction villa, most developers (including Ashray) offer construction-linked payment plans (CLP), where payments are staggered across milestones foundation, structure, finishing, and handover. This reduces upfront capital pressure and links your payments to verified construction progress. Always read the payment schedule carefully and cross-reference it with the RERA project timeline before signing.
