Freehold land certificate in Amed

Understanding what the official term ‘freehold’ means and how that applies to freehold land in Amed is a much-discussed topic amongst foreign property investors.

Technically speaking, Indonesia’s main freehold land certificate, known as ‘Hak Milik’, is strictly reserved for Indonesian citizens. Full stop.

A foreigner or a foreign-owned PMA company cannot hold the Hak Milik land certificate.

However, a foreign-owned PT PMA company can hold another freehold land certificate, known as HGB (Hak Guna Bangunan).

HGB land certificate in Amed

The HGB freehold certificate can only be held by a foreign-owned PT PMA company. A foreign individual cannot hold a HGB freehold certificate.

As a foreign-owned PT PMA company, your company can legally buy land and property under a HGB freehold certificate. 

This is the safest way for a foreigner to own land and property in Bali.

HGB freehold villa as a PT PMA company

If you are looking to buy a villa in Amed as a rental property investment, you may want to consider buying the villa as a PT PMA company. 

A PMA company can hold a HGB freehold villa in Amed as an asset.

There are several benefits for PMA companies to buy property under the HGB land certificate;

  • Your company name is registered on the land certificate
  • You can legally operate as a rental business
  • Your tax obligations on revenue are reduced
  • Save money with company accounting allowances
  • Easy transfer of land and property
  • Tax efficient way of transferring land and property
  • Use the asset as collateral – Villa owners can apply to a local bank for a loan against the HBG property. Whilst the loan amount varies from bank to bank, the loan will be given as a percentage of the construction value of the property.

Buying freehold land in Amed

Freehold land for sale in Amed is limited, however some larger plots are available for foreign-owned companies to buy. 

It is extremely difficult to buy smaller plots of freehold land that are suitable for single, stand-alone villas.

Freehold land in Amed is typically expensive to buy. Landowners prefer to rent their land on a long-term leasehold structure over 20 years.

In most cases, leasehold agreements can be extended beyond the initial 20 years, giving you more time to capitalize on the investment.
