I guide buyers and investors through Bali property with clear numbers, verified details and honest local insight, while helping owners position and market their properties to the right audience.

“Can I actually own it?”
Foreign buyers can consider leasehold, Hak Pakai, or an eligible Indonesian company structure holding HGB, depending on the property and intended use. I explain the practical differences, while an independent notary confirms the appropriate structure before you commit.
“How do I know the property checks out?”
Before you commit, I help coordinate checks on the land title, zoning, building permits, access and lease terms. An independent notary conducts the formal legal due diligence.
“Will the numbers hold up?”
I review developer projections against available comparable data, including occupancy, nightly rates, management costs and lease terms. You see the assumptions behind each estimate before making a decision.
“Can I manage the purchase from overseas?”
Much of the process can be handled remotely through live video viewings, shared documents and local coordination. Any in-person or signing requirements are confirmed with the notary for your transaction.
Information provided here is general guidance only. Ownership structures, legal requirements and projected returns should be independently verified before you commit.

A structured process keeps the important decisions, documents and next steps clear from the beginning.
Step 1: Discovery conversation
We define your goals, budget, preferred areas and timeline. We also discuss whether the property is for personal use, rental income or both.
Step 2: Focused shortlist
You receive a focused selection of suitable properties, with known trade-offs, relevant details and my notes on each option.
Step 3: Property viewings
Tour each property in person or by live video. I show you the villa, access, street, surroundings and details that listing photos may miss.
Step 4: Independent due diligence
An independent notary verifies the land title or lease, zoning, permits and contractual terms. I coordinate the process and keep you informed.
Step 5: Offer and signing
Once the checks are satisfactory, I help coordinate the offer, negotiations, payment schedule and signing with the relevant parties.
Step 6: Handover and next steps
We complete the final inspection and handover. If the property will be rented, I can introduce independent villa managers for comparison.
I view every villa from two sides: as a guest imagining the stay, and as a buyer reading the fine print.
As a Ray White Canggu property agent, I focus on villas and leasehold opportunities across Canggu, Pererenan, Seseh, and the Bukit. Before a listing reaches you, I look closely at the essentials: land certificate, zoning, permits, access, build quality, and remaining lease term.
My marketing work with a real estate agency in Perth keeps me close to how Australian buyers research, compare, and decide. That perspective shapes how I work in Bali: clear numbers, written details, trusted local context, and honest guidance when a villa is not the right fit.
A starting point for the legal, financial and practical questions that come with buying or selling property in Bali.
Can foreigners buy property in Bali?
Foreign buyers cannot personally hold Indonesian freehold title, known as Hak Milik. Depending on eligibility and intended use, options may include leasehold, Hak Pakai, or an eligible Indonesian company structure holding Hak Guna Bangunan. An independent notary should confirm the appropriate structure before you commit.
What happens when the lease ends?
The outcome depends on the lease agreement. We review the extension clause, notice period and pricing mechanism before you commit. An extension option does not guarantee an extension unless the conditions are clearly defined and fulfilled.
Can I buy without flying to Bali?
Much of the process can be managed remotely through live video viewings, shared documents and local coordination. Any in-person, identity-verification or signing requirements are confirmed with the notary for your transaction.
What costs should I plan for beyond the asking price?
Additional costs may include notary and due-diligence fees, taxes, company setup where applicable, furnishing, insurance and ongoing property management. I prepare a property-specific overview so you can review the expected costs before proceeding.
Can you help with rental management?
I can introduce independent villa management companies and help you compare their services, fees and available track records. The final management agreement remains between you and the selected operator.
Do I pay a fee as a buyer?
It depends on whether you purchase a property I represent or request a dedicated buyer search. The scope of work and any applicable fees are confirmed in writing before the service begins.
This information is general guidance only. Property structures, regulations, taxes and transaction requirements can change. Confirm your position with an independent Indonesian notary, legal adviser and tax adviser.
