Buying plots of land in North Bali can be a complicated process if you assume the regulations are the same as in the south.
The zoning and mapping rules are different, and not knowing these details can lead to unexpected challenges. To avoid these issues, it’s essential to have a free consultation with us. We’ll provide you with a clear understanding of the regulations specific to North Bali, ensuring a smoother and more informed buying process.
Consulting a Notary Office in the South:
While you can choose to work with a notary not registered in Buleleng Regency, it’s important to know that they will ultimately need to cooperate with a notary who is registered in the north. This collaboration can result in double notary fees, as you’ll need to cover costs for both the southern and northern notaries. To avoid these additional expenses and streamline the process, it’s advisable to work directly with a notary familiar with North Bali’s specific legal requirements.
Overlooking the Importance of Local Government Relationships:
Each area where you purchase land is part of a neighborhood, and every neighborhood is overseen by the Desa office, with the Kepala Desa (head of the local government) in charge. Building relationships with local government heads in the area where you’re purchasing land is crucial. We can introduce you to these key figures, helping you better understand the local culture and regulations. These connections not only ensure a smooth process but also integrate you into the community, offering a richer and more fulfilling experience in North Bali.
Relying on Unregistered and Independent Brokers
A common mistake many make is trusting unregistered, independent brokers, often recommended by friends, acquaintances, or even tourist car drivers. While this may seem like an easy, cost-saving route, it can quickly become a time-consuming and unpredictable situation. Even if these brokers are from the local area and appear appealing due to their lower fees (which are often not actually lower) or connections, they tend to focus on making a quick profit and avoid discussing potential challenges upfront. This can lead to unexpected problems later in the process. The lack of proper registration means you could face legal and financial risks. Instead, partnering with experienced, registered professionals who understand the local regulations and networks ensures a smoother process, saving you time and money. Our expertise and connections in North Bali allow us to guide you safely and efficiently through every step of the purchasing process
Failing to Consider the Location’s Infrastructure and Development Potential
When buying land in North Bali, it’s easy to overlook infrastructure and future development. The region is rapidly evolving, with major projects like the upcoming North Bali airport and improved roads. These developments will increase property demand and boost value. By focusing on locations with strong growth potential, you can ensure a solid return on investment. We’ll help you choose areas with the best infrastructure and development prospects, ensuring your investment stands out.
