Let’s keep it real: Bali’s property scene can be confusing. Many first-time buyers (especially foreigners) fall in love with a villa without realizing the legal setup is broken—no building permit, incorrect zoning, or worse, the property isn’t allowed to be rented out.
If you’re planning to earn passive income through rentals or resale, these legal missteps can cost you thousands. Always ask for proof of a valid IMB or SLF (building/use permit), and check whether the zoning is residential or tourism/commercial.
The safest route? Use a trusted notary (PPAT), and if you’re foreign, consider setting up a PT PMA structure for full control. At Luxo, we connect buyers—especially younger ones—to the right legal help from the start, so you don’t lose money before you even begin.
