TEN TIPS BUYING PROPERTIES IN BALI (PART.2-LEGAL TITLE)
Number 6
DETERMINING OF OWNERSHIP TITLE
Yes this is about legal things to have properties in Bali, so based of all things is to make this as first step to stand your right in Bali. This part I will not summarized because this is very important to get understand deeper.
Only Indonesian nationals may own land using a freehold title. Indonesian companies are not allowed to own freehold land.
Leasing from the Indonesian owner for an agreed period of time is easy to arrange, but once your lease term is up, the property - and any improvements you might have made to it - reverts to the owner. The term of lease is critical in terms of possessing a transferable asset that will appreciate with time and be attractive to others in terms of on-selling.
In addition, when you come to extend your lease (if it doesn’t contain fixed terms for extension) you may face a crippling rent increase unless the utmost care is taken in quantifying the extent of any rise when the initial contract is drafted.
