Common Mistakes in Buying
Property in Indonesia
Do not conduct due diligence toward the property
There is a possibility that the property is under a mortgage or any dispute.
If it is under a mortgage, you cannot transfer the ownership title unless the mortgage has been released. If it is under dispute, it will not be to your benefit if the original owner does not win in court.
Do not check the validity of the property certificate
You may consider an extra cost if the validity of the property is near the expiration date.
Does not understand and consider the title of the property certificate
The title of the property certificate is important whether you are eligible to own it or not and it will affect the validity of the property certificate
Does not use proper documentation to own and/or lease the property
Documentation is important from the perspective of law. You should enter into documentation in favor of you
Do not aware of the licenses required on that property
Government can impose penalties on the unlicensed property
Do not have complete and proper documentation of property acquisition, i.e only have a CSPA as the document of title transfer and do not process the transfer ownership title of the property certificate in the National Land Agency (BPN)
By law, you are not the owner of the property until your name is registered in the certificate.
Do not hire a professional legal advisor who understands Indonesian law
You might get inaccurate advice and your interest in the property would not be protected.
