Find Your Bali Home

Bali is a fantastic place to purchase or build a villa, with hundreds of amazing beaches lining the shores, rice fields as picturesque backdrops to charming Bali villas, eclectic hubs and villages packed with world-class restaurants and cafes, record setting Ibiza style beach clubs, all amidst the beautiful culture, peace, and quiet of the Balinese people. However, the process of finding and buying your dream property in Bali can be a bit more complicated than one might expect. Due to the large international and expat community on the island, speaking a little Bahasa Indonesia would be helpful, but most real estate agents and developers are fluent in English and will happily walk you through the whole research, purchase, building, and maintenance process.

A big tip to consider is to avoid middlemen whenever possible – the more people between you and your potential property owner, the more costly it will be in terms of purchases, negotiating fees, and potential miscommunications. Purchasing directly from the owner will typically save between 2% and 20% in costs.

Another important thing to keep in mind when considering property in Bali is the Indonesian rupiah, which fluctuates daily and can add or subtract significant amounts from the final purchase price. To help mitigate this risk, I highly recommend planning your purchase strategy 2 to 3 months out, to give the currency time to stabilize. This will also give you a chance to save and buy at an even lower rate, should the rupiah dip.
