Checklist for Land Inspection in Bali
You may be perhaps planning to purchase or lease a land plot in Bali to build a stunning villa or your dream home?
Getting the right land is the most important part of the process, to ensure the success of your project.
In order to get the land, there are many Real Estate Companies in Bali that offer a broad selection of properties for you to select and visit beforehand. We work with our Real Estate Agent Partners, so we can also give you the right contacts if you need some help here.
Once you have selected your preferred land plot, it is essential to conduct due diligence of the land property before taking the final decision for buying or leasing the land in Bali to avoid any risk. The due diligence process generally involves checking the rightul landowner and land certificate, legal encumbrances, taxes payments, leases registered over the land, IMB Building Permit (for existing buildings), zoning verification, land boundaries and legality of access road. Due diligence can be performed by your legal advisor or by a Notary.
Additionally, when visiting the land options you may need independent support or advise on the technical aspects related to the villa project construction. Our team here in Odisea Bali can help you with the land inspection. Just contact us and let´s make the appointment!
