Frequently Asked Questions

Foreigners cannot hold freehold (Hak Milik) title directly, but can legally control property through leasehold agreements, a PT PMA (foreign-owned company), or right-to-use (Hak Pakai) titles. Our team helps you choose the right structure for your situation.

Freehold (Hak Milik) is full ownership available only to Indonesian citizens. Leasehold (Hak Sewa) gives you exclusive use of a property for a fixed term, typically 25-30 years and often extendable, and is the most common route for foreign buyers.

Lease terms in Bali typically range from 20 to 30 years, with many contracts offering an extension option. The exact terms are negotiated directly with the landowner and documented in a notarized agreement.

The process generally involves: property search and viewing, due diligence on title and permits, signing a binding agreement (PPJB), payment, and notarized transfer of rights. We guide you through each step with trusted legal partners.

Yes. All property transactions in Indonesia must be processed by a licensed notary (PPAT), who verifies the legality of the title and prepares the deed of transfer. We work with vetted, English-speaking notaries.

A straightforward transaction typically takes 4-8 weeks from signing the initial agreement to completing the notarized transfer, depending on due diligence findings and permit checks.

Buyers typically pay a land and building acquisition tax (BPHTB) of around 5% of the transaction value, plus notary and due diligence fees. Sellers are responsible for income tax on the sale (PPh).

Key documents include the land certificate (SHM/HGB), building permit (PBG/IMB), and zoning confirmation. Our due diligence process verifies all of these before you commit.

Well-located villas in areas like Canggu, Pererenan, and Uluwatu typically generate 8-15% gross annual rental yield, depending on management quality, seasonality, and property type.

We partner with trusted property and rental management companies who can handle bookings, maintenance, and guest services so your investment runs smoothly even when you're not in Bali.
