The Process: Buying Land in North Bali Effortlessly

Seven steps, taken slowly.

Acquiring land in Bali is not difficult, but it is unforgiving of haste. Below is the path we walk with every client — usually over three to six months, sometimes longer.

Step 1 - Conversation

We begin with a candid exchange — what you are looking for, why North Bali, your time horizon. No portfolio is sent until we understand the search.

Step 2 - Curation

We compose a short list — typically three to five plots — drawn from our active portfolio and our private network of unlisted opportunities.

Step 3 - Inspection

We begin with a candid exchange — what you are looking for, why North Bali, your time horizon. No portfolio is sent until we understand the search.

Step 4 - Due Diligence

Title verification (SHM / Hak Milik or Hak Pakai), zoning checks, banjar approval, access easements, and a clean chain of custody - handled by our notary partners.

Step 5 - Structure

We advise on the appropriate structure — leasehold (Hak Sewa), right-to-use (Hak Pakai), or freehold (Hak Milik) via Indonesian nominee or PT PMA. Always with independent legal counsel.

Step 6 - Notary & Transfer

Final notarial deed (Akta) signed at the PPAT. Funds escrowed where appropriate. Certificate registered in your structure of choice.

Step 7 - After-Care

We remain available — for the architect introduction, the build supervisor, the gardener, and the simple question of where to eat in Lovina on a Tuesday.

A note on legal structures.

Foreign nationals cannot hold Hak Milik (freehold) title in Indonesia. The two clean routes are Hak Pakai (right of use, up to 80 years) or a long-term lease (Hak Sewa, typically 25–30 years renewable). For commercial intent, a PT PMA (foreign investment company) may hold Hak Guna Bangunan. We will advise on the right structure for your circumstances — always alongside independent legal counsel.
