Things to Consider
Foreigners considering property investment in Bali should note that the island continues to attract the largest share of foreign capital nationally, but should always verify land rights (ownership type, usage rights, etc.) through a licensed local notary (notaris) and property lawyer before any transaction. Given reports of unregistered properties and unreliable intermediaries amid the investment boom, buyers are advised to confirm land registration status with the National Land Agency (BPN) prior to signing any agreement.
