Investing in property in Bali is an exciting venture, but it comes with a unique set of legal complexities. The Indonesian legal framework requires meticulous attention to detail to ensure your investment is secure. A seemingly straightforward transaction can harbor hidden risks, from ownership disputes to non-compliance with local zoning regulations. This is where Legal Due Diligence (LDD) becomes the most critical step in your acquisition process. At diBali Expat Assistance, we offer a comprehensive, professional, and efficient LDD service designed to provide you with complete clarity and peace of mind before you commit.
Legal Due Diligence is a thorough investigation or audit of a property from a legal standpoint before a transaction is finalized. The objective is to verify all facts and information presented by the seller, assess the property’s legal status, and identify any potential risks, liabilities, or legal burdens.
This pre-purchase audit empowers you, the buyer, to make an informed decision based on a complete and transparent understanding of your potential investment, protecting you from future problems.
Our team of experienced professionals in Bali conducts a systematic and in-depth examination covering all critical aspects of the property. Our process includes, but is not limited to:
We conduct a thorough check at the National Land Agency (BPN) office to confirm the authenticity and legal standing of the land certificate (e.g., Sertifikat Hak Milik/SHM, Hak Guna Bangunan/HGB). We verify that the seller is the rightful owner and that the certificate is not subject to any blocks, disputes, or negative notations.
We investigate the property’s compliance with local zoning laws (RTRW) to ensure your intended use (e.g., residential, commercial, tourism) is legally permissible on that specific plot of land. This includes verifying the existence and validity of the current building approval (PBG, formerly IMB).
Our audit confirms that all Land and Building Taxes (Pajak Bumi dan Bangunan/PBB) are fully paid and up-to-date. We also investigate any other potential financial liabilities or service charges associated with the property that could be transferred to a new owner.
We verify the legal identity and capacity of the seller to conduct the transaction. This includes confirming their marital status and obtaining any necessary spousal consents, or ensuring the correct corporate approvals are in place if the seller is a company.
We meticulously check for any ongoing or potential legal disputes, inheritance claims, liens, or mortgages that may be attached to the property. Uncovering these hidden burdens is essential to prevent future legal battles.
We ensure there is guaranteed legal and physical access to the property. We also check that the boundaries stated in the legal documents correspond with the physical state of the land to prevent future boundary disputes with neighbors.
