Bali real estate

Foreign nationals cannot hold SHM freehold title directly under Indonesian law. The two legal routes are leasehold — typically 25–30 years with extension options documented in a notarial deed — and Hak Pakai (right to use) title held through a PT PMA company registered with BKPM, which provides up to 80 years of secured ownership. Each structure carries different cost thresholds and compliance obligations. A qualified notaris should advise on which route fits your investment size and timeline.

That depends on strategy. Canggu and Berawa deliver the strongest short-stay rental yields — 10–16% gross — driven by digital nomad demand and supply constraints from 2023 zoning restrictions. Uluwatu offers lower land costs with premium nightly rates, suited to capital appreciation plays. Seminyak remains the most liquid resale market. Ubud attracts wellness-tourism tenants on longer stays. Sanur provides stable year-round occupancy skewed toward families and long-term rentals. Match the district to your income model, not to marketing.

Yes, you can gain significant ROI (Return on Investment) from renting your property out. We provides full rent management services, ensuring high occupancy rates and legal compliance with Pondok Wisata (rental licenses).

Start with an independent notaris — not one recommended by the seller or developer. Verify land title authenticity through the local BPN (National Land Agency) office. Confirm RDTR zoning classification permits your intended use. Ensure lease extension terms are documented in the notarial deed, not in side agreements. For PT PMA structures, confirm BKPM registration is active. Never transfer funds before title verification is complete. Due diligence typically costs $500–$1,500 USD and prevents problems that cost significantly more.
