It can be very stressful when it comes to buying a house, as its one of the hardest decisions to make in life. The process of buying a home has the potential for bad decisions, resulting in undesirable circumstances. This also applies to buying a home in Bali. People say it's even more challenging to buy a house here than somewhere else, but that’s not entirely true. The horror stories you may have heard mostly occur because rules aren’t followed or there’s a misunderstanding around laws and regulations.

Follow our guide to buying a house in Bali and make your experience more secure and memorable.

Start your research

It’s as easy as it sounds! Getting as much information as possible should be the first thing you do. There are plenty of ways to do this in Bali. There are adverts and classifieds found in local expatriate newspapers, and thousands of websites on Google. There are hundreds of groups on social media that are also an option, along with a choice of listings in real estate agents.

Take notes

This might sound easy, but people don’t usually take notes when they’re searching on Google. Writing things down and taking notes will make things crystal clear in the long term. You can compare areas and prices through your notes and they will give you a clear image of what you’re dealing with.

Inspect the site

Once you’ve gathered enough information, its time to go inspect. Using an agent at this stage is super helpful as they have direct contact with the vendors and will save you the trouble of trying to do it yourself. Planning the inspections in advance is also a good idea.
