Due Diligence

We believe the integrity of any land acquisition is built long before a contract is signed.

Our methodology ensures that every parcel we present has undergone rigorous legal, regulatory, and commercial scrutiny minimizing investor risk and unlocking long-term value.

Land transactions in Bali, and across Indonesia, can be opaque. Informal agreements, unclear titles, or unverified zoning status create real risk for investors, particularly foreigners unfamiliar with local law.

Our due diligence process is designed to eliminate that risk.

It ensures:

What We Verify

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

We validate the legal status of the land through Indonesia’s National Land Agency (BPN) and regional offices.

  • Certificate authenticity and number cross-check

  • Title type: Hak Milik, HGB, Hak Pakai, or Hak Sewa

  • Land size, boundaries, and certificate consistency

  • Encumbrance check: ensuring the land is free of liens, mortgages, or disputes

Zoning and Spatial Planning (RTRW) Validation

Zoning defines what can—and cannot—be built. We ensure every site is properly zoned for the investor’s intent.

  • Confirmed zoning type (Tourism, Residential, Commercial, Green zone, etc.)

  • Spatial plan compatibility with district-level regulations

  • Environmental sensitivity or protected areas review

  • Building Coverage Ratio (KDB) and Floor Area Ratio (KLB)

We work with local authorities to ensure that zoning status aligns with the regional RTRW and is reflected in the land certificate.

Land Use Rights & Ownership Pathway

For foreign investors, ownership must be structured through Indonesian legal vehicles.

  • Verification of PT (Perseroan Terbatas) corporate ownership

  • Clarity on nominee structures (if applicable—though avoided)

  • Use of PT PMA for foreign investment with HGB title

  • Confirmed right to build (IMB/PBG) or apply for development permits

Our structures prioritize legality, transparency, and investor protection.

Tax & Financial Liabilities Review

All outstanding taxes and financial encumbrances are cleared before transaction.

  • Land and building tax (PBB) history

  • Transfer tax implications and estimated cost

  • Corporate tax standing of the holding entity

  • Confirmation of no hidden debts or government dues

Where needed, we restructure the holding entity to ensure a clean, investable asset.

Physical Survey & Boundary Mapping

Beyond paper, we verify the physical land through licensed surveyors and visual inspections.

  • GPS boundary mapping and topography

  • Road access, setbacks, and right-of-way checks

  • Flood risk, slope stability, and soil quality (if requested)

  • Proximity to utilities: electricity, water, telecommunications, waste systems

Transaction Readiness

Every land parcel is pre-structured for swift acquisition.

  • Share certificates and PT documentation are current and verified

  • Notary preparation for transfer deed (AJB) and corporate changes

  • Drafting of Share Sale Agreement (SSA), Option Contracts, and Escrow arrangements

  • Legal opinion issued by licensed Indonesian counsel

This ensures that you’re acquiring a fully structured asset.
