We believe the integrity of any land transaction is established well before formal documentation is executed.

Land transactions in Bali, and across Indonesia, can involve complex legal, regulatory, and administrative considerations. Titles, zoning status, and corporate structures must be clearly understood before any transaction proceeds.

Our due diligence framework is designed to support accurate, independent assessment of land opportunities by qualified parties.

The process focuses on verification, documentation, and transparency, enabling purchasers and their advisors to review land on an as-is basis, subject to applicable law.

Verification Framework

Our process

Each parcel of land passes through a multi-stage due diligence process, involving our internal legal team and independent local counsel, licensed notaries, and technical consultants.

Title & Land Certificate Verification

Where applicable, land documentation is reviewed through Indonesia’s National Land Agency (BPN) and relevant regional offices to confirm:

  • Certificate type (Hak Milik, HGB, Hak Pakai, Hak Sewa, as applicable)

  • Certificate reference consistency and land area

  • Boundary alignment with registered documentation

  • Identification of registered encumbrances, liens, or disputes

No assurances are given beyond the scope of documented verification.

Zoning & Spatial Planning Context (RTRW)

Zoning determines permitted land use under regional planning frameworks. Information may include:

  • Recorded zoning classification

  • Alignment with district-level spatial plans (RTRW)

  • Identification of environmental overlays or protected areas

  • Noted planning controls such as building coverage or floor area ratios

All zoning interpretation is subject to confirmation by local authorities and independent advisors.

Land-Use Rights & Ownership Structures

Where foreign participation is involved, land interests are commonly held through Indonesian corporate entities. Information may include:

  • Overview of relevant PT or PT PMA structures

  • Applicable land-use rights (such as HGB)

  • Noted regulatory requirements for ownership or transfer

All structuring decisions are made by the purchaser in consultation with independent legal and tax advisors.

Tax & Regulatory Context

Available information may include:

  • Land and building tax (PBB) status

  • Noted transfer-related tax considerations

  • Corporate compliance status of the holding entity (where applicable)

This information is provided for contextual awareness only and does not constitute tax advice.

Physical Review & Site Context

Where available, physical site information may include:

  • Survey and boundary references

  • Access conditions and rights-of-way

  • Topography and visible site characteristics

Any technical assessments are subject to independent verification.
