Sunsets, heavenly beaches, rice paddies, incredible temples and luxury villas by the sea? Settling in Bali can be exciting but it is not uncommon to forget some very important details. After defining your budget for a property in the south of the island, you will need to ask yourself the essential questions in your search. 

 

1. Where do you want to live in South Bali? 


This is the first question you should ask yourself when looking for a property. You need to choose the best location according to your needs and preferences. For example, your home should be close to your children's school. Visiting a few properties is often a very good way to discover the area and what it has to offer. Especially in terms of shops, restaurants, schools, hospitals, its proximity to the beach or the airport. It is also very important to check if there are any construction projects going on around the villa. If your villa is located near a temple, take into account that the area could be blocked on ceremonial days. 

 

2. What is the ideal size of your accommodation? 


To answer these questions, ask yourself the following questions: 

  • - How many rooms do I need? This criteria often varies between 2 and 6 rooms. 
  • - Are you planning to invite friends or family? If so, it is necessary to think about an extra room. 

There is nothing better than a visit to visualize the real space of your future property. Go directly to the property to see if you need bigger or smaller rooms. Also think about a parking lot for all your vehicles. 

 

3. The style of the villa 


It is also important to have an idea of what you want in terms of architecture: modern, typically Balinese, joglo, etc. To define the style you want for your next villa, read our article "The Different Styles of Villas in Bali". Would you prefer to buy a furnished house or hire an architect to create the house of your dreams? See also our article "Having An Architect". 

 

4. Water and electricity supply 


Checking whether there is a connection between your villa and the local Water Supply Company (PDAM) and whether a borehole has been drilled in your neighbourhood is also essential. If this is not the case, you will have to install a borehole for water supply. 
Read more about water supply in Bali. 

Also check that there is an electricity grid in the area and that it is connected to the National Electricity Company (read more about Prepaid Electricity). The price of such a connection depends on the distance and the power capacity needed. If a power grid is not available, you will have to use a generator and/or renewable energy sources, such as solar panels. 

 

5. Talking to real estate experts 


In Bali, you can find many real estate agencies. But when it comes to renting or buying a villa, it is important to choose real estate specialists in order to be well advised. Bali Home Immo is a real estate agency located in Canggu - Berawa and specializes in long term rentals and sales.

10 Things to Check Before Buying a Villa in Bali

10 Crucial Considerations Before Buying a Villa in Bali

 

With its stunning landscapes and vibrant culture, Bali has become a sought-after destination for expatriates looking to invest in a villa. Before you embark on this exciting journey, you must be well-informed and make prudent decisions. Here are 10 key considerations for those who are contemplating the purchase of a villa in Bali.

 

  1. Location Matters:

Selecting the right location is paramount when investing in a villa. Consider the proximity to popular attractions, beaches, and amenities. A balance between tranquility and accessibility to Bali's vibrant lifestyle is crucial. Areas like Seminyak, Canggu, and Umalas offer a mix of both, ensuring a perfect blend for a comfortable living experience. 

  1. Rental Potential:

For those looking to make their investment work for them, assessing the rental potential of the villa is vital. Bali's booming tourism industry makes short-term rentals a lucrative option. Investigate the demand in the chosen area and ensure that the property management services are reliable for seamless income generation. Here's how you can forecast the rental potential based on the daily rate. 

  1. Amenities and Design:

The allure of Balinese villas often lies in their unique design and luxurious amenities. Evaluate the villa's layout, the quality of materials used, and the presence of modern conveniences. Pools, lush gardens, and spacious living areas enhance not only your living experience but also the property's appeal to potential renters.

 

  1. Land and Building Size:

Understanding the size of both the land and the building is crucial to ensuring your investment meets your expectations. A larger land size may provide more privacy and space, while a well-designed and efficiently used building space maximizes the villa's functionality.

 

  1. Ownership Title/Leasehold:

Clarifying the ownership title is a critical step in the buying process. Ensure the villa has a proper freehold title or a secure leasehold arrangement. Legal assistance is highly recommended to navigate complex Indonesian property laws and safeguard your investment.

 

  1. Infrastructure and Access:

Check the local infrastructure to ensure a comfortable living experience. A well-maintained road network, reliable utilities (water supply, electricity, drainage), and access to essential services contribute to the overall desirability of the location. Additionally, proximity to the airport and major transportation hubs is a practical consideration for frequent travelers.

  1. Local Regulations and Zoning Laws:

Understanding and complying with local regulations and zoning laws is imperative. Verify that the villa adheres to the zoning regulations, and be aware of any restrictions that may impact your intended use of the property. This step is crucial to avoid legal complications in the future.

  1. Surrounding Developments:

Research ongoing and planned developments in the vicinity. Upcoming infrastructure projects, commercial establishments, and residential developments can significantly impact the property's value and desirability. Choosing an area with positive growth prospects ensures long-term returns on your investment.

  1. Budget for Maintenance and Renovation:

Factor in the costs associated with maintaining and potentially renovating the villa. A well-maintained property preserves its value and attracts better rental opportunities. Be prepared to invest in periodic maintenance and upgrades to keep the villa in optimal condition.

  1. Reliable Seller: 

Last but not least, reliable seller. When navigating the intricate process of purchasing a villa in Bali, it's highly advisable to engage the services of a reputable real estate agency. A reliable agency acts as your trusted partner, guiding you through legalities, negotiating on your behalf, and offering valuable insights into the local market dynamics.
