Freehold (Hak Milik): Only available to Indonesian citizens. Full ownership with no time limit.
Leasehold: A long-term rental agreement, usually 25-30 years, renewable. It is the most common legal method for foreigners to control land.
It starts with an initial consultation where we assess your property and market readiness. We then guide you through pricing, documentation, and a professional photoshoot. Once listed, your property is promoted through our network, website, and partner platforms.
Potential buyers will schedule visits to the property for inspection, where our agents will guide them through and answer any questions.
You should prepare your land certificate (Hak Milik or lease agreement), IMB or PBG (building permit), proof of ownership, tax documents, and photos. Our team will guide you through any missing pieces.
Bali has several high-demand areas for property investment, each catering to different lifestyles and returns. Canggu, Berawa, and Pererenan are popular among digital nomads and expats, offering strong rental yields. Uluwatu and Bingin are growing hotspots with scenic views and increasing development. For a more serene lifestyle, Ubud remains a favorite among long-term residents.
It depends on your goals. Buying land and building offers customization and can save costs long term. But buying a completed villa is faster, easier, and often generates income immediately. Our team can help you explore both options.
Yes, Bali continues to show strong demand for both short-term rentals and long-term stays. With tourism rebounding and remote work increasing, well-located properties with good management can generate consistent returns over time.
Bali attracts 7 million+ tourists per year, creating strong demand and high occupancy rates for holiday rentals, especially villas. This makes Bali a prime market for short-term rental income.

This is one of the most common questions we get—and we’re happy to explain!
While freehold ownership (Hak Milik) is reserved for Indonesian citizens, foreign buyers still have several legal, secure options to invest in property, including:
- Leasehold Agreements (Hak Sewa) – 25 to 30-year terms with renewal options.
- Right to Use (Hak Pakai) – for those with residence permits (KITAS/KITAP).
- Foreign-owned company structure (PT PMA) – allows long-term control through HGB titles.
Our team has helped many foreigners navigate these legal structures safely, with the help of experienced notaries and legal advisors. With us, you’re not just buying property—you’re building confidence in your investment.
The property should have a land certificate (Hak Milik, HGB, or Hak Pakai), building permit (IMB or PBG), and proof of tax payment (PBB). For villas operating as rentals, a business license (NIB) may also be required.
A nominee structure involves using an Indonesian citizen to hold property on behalf of a foreigner. While common in practice, it is legally grey and not officially protected by Indonesian law. We advise consulting with legal professionals before pursuing this route.
A PT PMA (foreign-owned company) allows foreigners to legally operate a business and hold Hak Guna Bangunan (Right to Build) or Hak Pakai (Right to Use) over land. This is one of the few legal methods for foreign nationals to control property beyond leasehold.
A KITAS is a limited stay permit for foreigners in Indonesia. While it doesn’t grant ownership rights, certain types (such as retirement KITAS) may allow access to longer lease periods or the right to use a residential property (Hak Pakai).
Yes, working with a local notary ("notaris") is required in any formal property transaction in Indonesia. A legal advisor or lawyer can also help review contracts, verify ownership, and ensure your rights are protected.
Buyers typically pay:
- 5% transfer tax (for freehold)
- Notary/legal fees (approx. 1%) Sellers pay income tax (PPh) on the sale. There may be tax on rental income as well (10%), depending on your structure. We always recommend working with a local notary or tax consultant.
When a leasehold ends, legal rights to the property revert to the landowner unless a new agreement is made. It's important to negotiate renewal terms well in advance of expiration.
Our agency fee is typically a percentage of the final sale price, agreed upon during the listing agreement. This fee covers marketing, client communication, negotiation support, and transaction coordination.
Rental yields in Bali are among the highest in Asia. Well-managed villas in prime areas (Canggu, Seminyak, Uluwatu) can generate 10% to 25% annual returns, depending on location, design, and occupancy.
Indonesia does not have a separate capital gains tax for individuals. Instead, a fixed final tax is applied to the transaction value, as mentioned above (2.5%).
Yes. Most leasehold contracts include options to extend for additional terms (e.g., 25+25 years). It’s important to ensure this clause is clearly stated in your agreement.
Yes. Sellers are typically responsible for a 2.5% final income tax on the sale price. Buyers also pay a 5% transfer tax (BPHTB). These rates can vary based on ownership type and legal structure.
Not at all. Bali offers affordable luxury. A modern, fully furnished villa with a pool can cost between USD 150,000 – 400,000, making it a fraction of the cost compared to places like Australia, the U.S., or Europe.
