Thinking of renting out your home or property here in Bali? Putting your property on the market is easy enough - all you need to do is figure out whether you would like to rent it out on a short-term or a long-term basis. Your decision should be based on a few factors including location, type of property, supply, and demand, among others.   Let’s take a look. Long Term Rent Cash Flow With long-term tenants who pay right on time, you can be sure of a predictable and stable cash flow. You won’t have to follow up with them every single month for payments as they would be making large yearly or twice yearly payments. Additionally, you can be sure that they won’t up and run in the middle of the night, leaving you high and dry. Even if they do, you won’t have to worry as payment has been made up-front, so all you need to do is find a different tenant to take over! On-Going Maintenance Long-term tenants tend to care more about the home or property that they are staying in. Whether it is furnished or unfurnished, long-term tenants would invest more time and energy turning your property into a home, a place that they would love and feel safe, cosy, and comfortable. Utility Bills & Damages Long-term tenants would have to foot the utility bills. Here in Bali, this would usually mean electricity bills, cable TV, and anything else that aren’t included in the agreement. WIFI is usually included but if they were to break or damage anything on purpose, they would have to pay to replace and repair any and all damages. You could also ask for a security deposit if you’re worried about rogue tenants causing trouble anytime throughout their stay. This applies to both long and short-term rentals. Short Term Rentals More Rental Income Renting out your property on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis can really increase your earnings. This is especially true during the high season when prices would be adjusted to meet market demand. You can enjoy full occupancy for months on end. But do keep in mind that with daily and weekly rentals, and some monthly rentals, you will need to foot all utility bills including electricity, WIFI, and water.   Unfortunately with short-term rentals, the cost of maintenance and upkeep would be higher. With every new check-ins and check-outs, there would be laundry, linen change, and general cleaning. The cost would be even higher if you have a pool and a garden, which needs to be maintained every few days. As holidaymakers are looking for beautiful, clean, and aesthetically pleasing places, you would need to make sure that your place is sparkling clean, shiny, and bright. Marketing & Advertising To get tenants, you’ll need to constantly promote your property whether through social media or property agents. It will consume time and energy but without these, you run the risk of leaving your property empty for extended periods of time! Ready to put your property on the market? Contact us now.

Thinking of owning property in Bali? Before signing on the dotted line and putting in any money on the property that you’ve been eyeing, there are a few important things that you must know. One of them is the types of ownership that are available in Bali and Indonesia. This is very important especially if you’re a foreigner. Let’s take a look. Hak Milik / Freehold There are different titles for both land and property in Bali and each title connotes a different meaning. The “freehold” title or “Hak Milik” means that only Indonesian citizens can hold this title. If you’re a foreigner and you’re tempting to hold a freehold land, it will automatically be deemed void, and therefore, the land will automatically belong to the government. Hak Pakai / Right Of Use A secondary title, known as “Right of Use”, or “Hak Pakai” is the best option for a foreigner. With a built-in extension of 25 years, the title comes with renewal after 20 years with only a small tax implication. There is no mention anywhere in Indonesian law that these extensions or renewals cannot be continued as long as it is done on state-owned land. Some restrictions to this title would include the size of land and property and that you must hold a valid permit to stay in Indonesia such as a KITAP or a KITAS. Hak Guna Bangunan / Right To Build The third title is a commercial title; “Hak Guna Bangunan”, which means “right to build”. This title is compulsory for both foreign and Indonesian companies buying, selling, or managing villas for commercial purposes. The good news is that there are no restrictions for a foreign PT PMA owning such a company 100% as long as it is a 4-star and up. Remember that you must also obtain your accommodation license and Ijin Mendirikan Bangunan (IMB). All of this may sound confusing, not to mention stressful, especially if this is your first time navigating the Indonesian property landscape. Doing it by yourself can be quite a challenge. It will also take up a lot of your time.   Why not engage the services of a trusted, reliable, and credible property agent here in Bali?

Bali has definitely not lost its charm and its appeal despite the Covid-19 outbreak. When the pandemic started in 2020, international tourists were prohibited from entering Bali but domestic tourists were still making frequent trips to and from the Island of the Gods to enjoy a little break in the sun.   Canggu is still crowded with foreigners who can’t leave the island due to travel restrictions, and we know for a fact that once borders open up, there will be a major influx of international and domestic travellers pouring into Canggu looking for villas to rent.   So if you’re planning to invest in a leasehold villa in Canggu, now would be the best time.

So you’ve finally purchased your dream home here in Bali Villa ! Congratulations! Now that you’re a proud homeowner, there is going to be plenty to keep you busy, from maintenance to upkeep and utilities.   One of the most important matters that you should think about as a homeowner is Property Insurance. Should you get one and what is it for? Firstly, let’s take a look at the types of Property Insurance that are available in Indonesia.   In general, there are two: Homeowners Insurance and Business Insurance. If you’re not planning to run a business out of your home, then the obvious choice would definitely be the Homeowners Insurance. Homeowners Insurance Homeowners insurance is for private homes owned by a person and not a business. The idea behind home insurance is to cover losses and damages to your residence, along with furnishings and other assets in the home. Homeowners insurance also provides liability coverage against accidents in the home or on the property.   Every homeowner insurance is different depending on the company and the policy that you choose. Remember to properly understand what is and isn’t covered; ask a lot of questions and read the fine print. In general though with any policy, your actual, physical dwelling should be covered, as well as some other structures on the property, like your garage, fence, pool, and driveway.   Based on the Indonesian Fire Insurance Standard Policy (PSAKI), a home insurance policy would cover damages caused by the following: Fire Lightning Explosion Fall of Airplanes Smoke Wind / Hail You can also extend your policy to cover the following: Storm Riot Protection of valuables Protection if an injury to a third party Financial protection in the event of damages to the property of the insured Temporary residence accommodation if the house/building is damaged and cannot be inhabited again   Bonus Tip: If you’re planning to rent out your property, you may want to consider applying for landlord insurance for unexpected damages that can cover furniture, appliances, and other items. The coverage can be extended to cover legal costs, loss of income, and more.   It would also be wise to also take into consideration the possible risks of earthquakes, volcanoes, and Tsunami, as Indonesia sits on the “ring of fire”.  We’ll never know what the future holds but it is always best to protect yourself, your loved ones, and your investment the best possible way there is.   Ready to get started? There are many internationally-renowned insurance companies here in Bali, including Allianz, AXA, MSIG, and more. You can contact one, or all and speak to the agents individually.   You could also speak to other homeowners here in Bali and ask them for their tips and advice. Based on all your research, we are sure that you’d make the right decision when it comes to protecting your home and your loved ones.

Owning land in Bali would be one of the smartest and most valuable investments that you could do for your future self. Land value throughout the island has been growing exponentially since the 1970s and has never really stopped!   Additionally, a piece of land is pretty much low maintenance; you won’t need to pay utility bills, there are no mortgage payments or insurance and taxes would be minimal. After purchase, you can pretty much leave it alone and know that it would most likely remain in one piece.   Despite the current global situation and the pandemic, now would be one of the very best times to purchase land. It’s definitely a buyer’s market with landowners slashing down prices to meet current market conditions.   Here are some reasons as to why you should invest in a plot of land or two here in Bali. 1. Fantastic Passive Investment With land, you don’t need to worry about upkeep or maintenance until the time comes for you to start development! You can safely use it as an investment vehicle for the future and you won’t have to worry about your land being stolen! 2. Returns Without Increasing Risks The land that you purchase will not disappear or vanish as shares or stocks can. It is tangible and physical and it is all yours. Despite the global economic situation, land ownership will not change. 3. Land Is Limited Remember when Seminyak and Canggu were mostly rice fields? That was only 10 years ago. With the growth of tourism and the expat and local community here in Bali, land will continue to be snapped up and developed as towns and communities expand. There’s no time like the present to get in on this growth. 4. Land Is Affordable Land is inexpensive to own and over time it will grow in value. There are no mortgage payments or utility bills. There are no extra charges for security, maintenance, electricity or internet. No roof needs to be replaced. Once you purchase your plot of land, it can just quietly sit there until you decide what to do with it! 5. Guaranteed Income or Profit Land is less costly to buy than developed real estate, just because there is nothing on it. Just make sure to do your due diligence and make sure that the piece of land is in a path of growth, something that could attract future developers. You could sell that property for multiple the amount that you bought it for, and enjoy guaranteed profit!   Now that you know all the great reasons to own yourself a piece of land here in Bali, why not start browsing? Remember that location should be your number priority. John Jacob Astor, a real estate mogul once said, “Buy and wait. Buy near a growing city. Buy when other people want to sell. Hold on to what you buy!”   Here in Bali, hilltop land with breathtaking views are in extremely high demand as they make the most incredible locations for villas, retreats, and resorts. The land’s elevated position would also ensure unimpeded views all around, fresh air, and the sea breeze.   One prime example would be our 14 Are Hilltop Land in Nusa Dua.
