Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the most common questions foreign buyers ask about purchasing property in Bali.

Can foreigners buy property in Bali?

+

Foreigners cannot hold freehold (Hak Milik) title directly, but can buy through long-term leasehold (commonly 30 + 25 + 25 years), a Hak Pakai (right-to-use) title, or a PT PMA foreign-owned company. Leasehold is the most common route. Our team handles the structure and legal due diligence on every purchase.

What is the difference between freehold and leasehold in Bali?

+

Freehold (Hak Milik) is permanent ownership available only to Indonesian citizens. Leasehold (Hak Sewa) grants rights to a property for a fixed, renewable term and is the most common route for foreign buyers - lower entry cost with strong returns. Each listing states its exact tenure and remaining term.

What rental yield can I expect from a Bali villa?

+

Completed villas in the prime areas typically achieve 12–18% gross rental yield, and off-plan buyers often see 15–20% capital appreciation between purchase and completion. Returns vary by area, villa type and management - our area guides show first-party market data for each location.

Do you check the legal status of listings?

+

Yes. Before a listing is published we verify title and certificate at the land office (BPN), confirm zoning and building permits, and check the lease and underlying freehold where applicable, working with an independent notaris/PPAT. Owner details are kept strictly private.
