Looking to rent or buy property in Bali?

On this day and age, the internet makes everything look so easy. Future buyers and potential renters just need to start surfing the web to find an almost limitless selection of villas, homes and commercial properties available for sale or rent here in Bali.

The initial process might appear so simple that you might be tempted to handle the entire rental or purchase process all on your own. Unless you’re extremely experienced in the Bali property sector or understand the Indonesian property laws and landscape like the back of your hand, we would strongly suggest that you do not attempt to do this on your own.

The best thing to do is to hire a trusted and credible property agent in Bali to help you. You’ll find that this will be extremely helpful to you as renting and buying a property in Bali can be a time-consuming and stressful experience. There is a ton of red tape and bureaucracies to manoeuvre, not to mention the often confusing Indonesian property laws to navigate and the discussions and negotiations you’ll need to make with the property owner, notaries, lawyers, the Banjar and other local authorities.

Fortunately and unfortunately, there is no easy way out, especially if you’re a foreigner. There have been many cases in the past when a foreign buyer or renters tried to purchase or rent a property using a “representative” or a “nominee” – in most of these cases, they have met with unhappy endings or have had to navigate through incredibly stressful situations involving the law and large sums of money.

So to keep a clean record in Indonesia and to ensure a peaceful and healthy, stress-free experience while purchasing or renting a property in Bali, it would be in your best interest to hire a property agent who will act as your property business partner.

A certified property agent can also keep you from getting scammed. There have been cases here in Bali where property “owners” run off with your deposits. There are also charlatans who will copy property advertisements and post it online with their own contact details. Once the thief has received your security deposit from you, he or she then disappears with your money.
