Thus, if you          want to buy a house (as a foreigner), this would have been legally impossible.        &lt;/p&gt;       &lt;p&gt;In the late 90s, new laws were enacted so that foreigners are now permitted          to purchase apartments and office space in Indonesia if the building has          a strata title status. This enables the foreigner to own the apartment          or office space but not the land on which it stands.&lt;/p&gt;       &lt;h3&gt;Purchasing an apartment or office under Strata Title&lt;/h3&gt;       &lt;p&gt;Ownership of offices and apartments is possible through strata title          deeds, but the set of laws and regulations that were enacted in 1996 are          clear and clearly allow ownership of an apartment in a high rise building.        &lt;/p&gt;       &lt;p&gt;The 1996 regulation (No. 41/1966) states that foreigners who reside in          Indonesia, or visit the country regularly for business purposes, can purchase          a home, apartment or condominium as long as it isn't a part of a government-subsidized          housing development. However, foreigners can only hold land-use deeds,          and most developments hold right-to-build deeds. As it stands now, it's          not possible for someone to have a land-use deed for a sub-unit of a right-to-build          deed. The length of these titles varies as well. Therein lies some of          the difficulties and unclear ownership issues.&lt;/p&gt;       &lt;h3&gt;Convertible Lease Agreement&lt;/h3&gt;       &lt;p&gt;One way for foreigners to go ahead an purchase property despite these          legal ambiguities is to sign a Convertible Lease Agreement with the apartment          property management office to purchase an apartment. Basically what this          agreement entails is that the foreigner may purchase the apartment, but          the title is still held in the name of the developer or property management          firm. This lease agreement is for a definite period. &lt;/p&gt;       &lt;p&gt;The Convertible Lease Agreement states that if and when the prevailing          laws and regulations permit the Lessee to become legal owner of the apartment/strata          title unit, both the Lessor and the Lessee shall be obligated to sign          a Deed of Sale and Purchase and the title shall be transferred to the          foreign owner.&lt;/p&gt;       &lt;p&gt;If you are interested in purchasing an condominium through this type          of agreement, investigate the property management company thoroughly.          In the current economic downturn many property developers are undergoing          serious economic pressures and construction on many properties has been          postponed or canceled. Show your contracts to a bona fide lawyer to ensure          that all legal implications are covered thoroughly.&lt;/p&gt;       &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Note: &lt;/span&gt;When asked about the legality of Convertible          Lease Agreements, lawyers we consulted stated very clearly that this is          a VERY BAD idea and that lawyer should never advise that you do this.          As a foreigner you are entitled to Hak Pakai and you should insist that          legal property status from the apartment building or developer so that          the title is in your name. With a convertible lease agreement…you          are totally at the mercy of the “appointed party” and that          if they decide to change their minds you do not have much of a legal case          against them as the agreement that the expat has between themselves and          the Indonesian "appointed party" is not really a legal document.&lt;/p&gt;       &lt;p&gt;If you are interested in purchasing an condominium through this type          of agreement, investigate the property management company thoroughly.          In the current economic downturn many property developers are undergoing          serious economic pressures and construction on many properties has been          postponed or canceled. Show your contracts to a bona fide lawyer to ensure          that all legal implications are covered and your rights are thoroughly          protected. It is best to just insist that the Hak Pakai is in your name..If          they can not provide it, it may be because they do not have Hak Bangunan          title. If this is the case, DO NOT BUY IT.&lt;/p&gt;       &lt;h3&gt;Using an Indonesian friend to hold your title&lt;/h3&gt;       &lt;p&gt;Another way that you can purchase a condo is by purchasing the property          and having it in the name of an Indonesian citizen. Needless to say, this          must be someone you trust implicitly since, according to the law, this          person would be the legal owner. &lt;/p&gt;       &lt;p&gt;Most lawyers will advise that you should NOT do this as again you do          not have any “legal” document that says the property is yours.          You are REALLY putting yourself in a vulnerable position. &lt;/p&gt;       &lt;h3&gt;Single Family Dwellings - Houses&lt;/h3&gt;       &lt;p&gt;Ownership of single family dwellings faces even greater legal issues          as foreigners are not allowed to own land in Indonesia. Where the home          you want to purchase is part of a housing development, the developers          can often work something out for you to 'purchase' a home through a long          term lease agreement. &lt;/p&gt;       &lt;p&gt;One reader writes of his positive (and successful) experience in this          matter: &lt;/p&gt;       &lt;p&gt;“&lt;i&gt;Basically, I hold full title to the house, in my own name.          The fact that my wife is Indonesian was not considered (in fact, my wife          was not considered at all). She also owns property, and we could see no          difference in the title and rights of mine. The developer owns the land          the house is built on, and I own a 30-year fully paid up lease on the          land, which by law the developer has to extend for a further 30 years          on request. At that time they can charge me a nominal rent, which I can          opt to pay for now at US $35 per year. I can sell or bequeath (but not          sub-lease) the lease together with ownership of the house as I choose.          The developer can sell the land, but only under the same covenants as          already exist. These provisions apply to Indonesians as well, although          Indonesians could purchase the land outright if the developer agreed to          sell, and Indonesians could sub-lease the land if they want.&lt;/i&gt; &lt;/p&gt;       &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;If my wife was not Indonesian, and I was not present in Indonesia          for a full calendar year, in theory the state could take my house unless          I could prove that reasonable efforts to sell had failed, but just being          anywhere in Indonesia for one day would re-set the clock. As my wife is          the sole beneficiary of my will and is Indonesian, this rule does not          apply in my case.&lt;/i&gt; &lt;/p&gt;       &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;I purchased the house without finance; I'm not sure what effect there          would be in title if you took a loan or mortgage to assist with the purchase.          I would imagine getting a mortgage would be the hardest part for a foreigner,          and the finance company would definitely retain powers to repossess in          event of default. Such things are very closely regulated at home, but          they probably have a lot more scope for legally lining their own pockets          here. On the subject of payment, I paid the deposit in rupiah cash, because          that's what the developer wanted at the time, but then he preferred dollars          for the balance, so I paid dollars at a mutually acceptable rate. There          are no restrictions on how you pay for a personal transaction - you could          pay with groats (or even goats!) if you wanted.&lt;/i&gt;" &lt;/p&gt;       &lt;h3&gt;Buying Land&lt;/h3&gt;       &lt;p&gt;By Indonesian law a foreigner can not own land in Indonesia. &lt;/p&gt;       &lt;p&gt;If a foreigner chooses, he/she can own land 'indirectly'. To do this          you need to have an agreement between the foreigner and an Indonesian,          signed with the witness of a notary public. In the agreement the Indonesian          is the 'legal owner' while acknowledging that the foreigner is the 'rightful          owner' of the land and thus the Indonesian owner would carry out any instructions          from the foreigner regarding the land, including selling the land at certain          price with the funds to be paid to the foreigner owner. Again, if the          Indonesian "owner" changes their mind, you will not have any          legal title to the land. &lt;/p&gt;       &lt;p&gt;It is clear, as well, that these types of agreements are NOT at all enforceable          under Indonesian law and the foreigner is at risk in the true ownership          of his investment. &lt;/p&gt;       &lt;p&gt;All land titles within Greater Jakarta (DKI) are subject to the conditions          of Presidential or Governor's decrees. Essentially, this affects the provisions          for &lt;i&gt;Hak Milik&lt;/i&gt; titles in the Jakarta DKI area. &lt;/p&gt;       &lt;h3&gt;Special Provisions for Batam&lt;/h3&gt;       &lt;p&gt;The rules for property ownership by foreign nationals in Batam fall under          Decree No 068/KPTS/KA/III/1999. This regulations states that foreign nationals          or companies are permitted to 100% own residential or commercial property          in the Barelang area (Batam, Rempang and Galang). The only properties          excluded from this decree are low cost and very low cost housing, but          includes all other types of building structures.&lt;/p&gt;       &lt;p&gt;Even though there is a “special provision” for Batam, the          land law in Batam still falls under the “Hukum National” (Indonesian          national law) and the same overall laws and principals still apply, no          matter where you are in the country. &lt;/p&gt;       &lt;h3&gt; &lt;i&gt;Hak Guna Bangunan&lt;/i&gt; vs, &lt;i&gt;Hak Milik&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;       &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Hak Guna Bangunan&lt;/i&gt; is only the right to use a building for a certain          period of time and then has to be extended. The owner of HGB land is the          Indonesian government. &lt;/p&gt;       &lt;p&gt;Only with &lt;i&gt;Hak Milik&lt;/i&gt; do you actually own the land or building.          &lt;i&gt;Hak Milik&lt;/i&gt; does not need to be extended. &lt;/p&gt;       &lt;h3&gt;Obtaining a Loan from an Indonesian Bank to Purchase Property &lt;/h3&gt;       &lt;p&gt;The Indonesian banks will NOT lend money to property owners that only          have Hak Pakai status for their property. The land title MUST be Hak Milik          in order for the bank to use the title as collateral ..Therefore, expats          have never been able to get loans to purchase property in Indonesia, because          they can not have Hak Milik titles. This applies to everyone....even Indonesians.          The normal length on house loans in Indonesia is five years, not 20-30          years as it is in the west.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;taken from:  http://www.expat.or.id &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7470647130240808582-5151616486005810204?l=sellingindonesianproperty.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sellingindonesianproperty.blogspot.com/feeds/5151616486005810204/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7470647130240808582&amp;postID=5151616486005810204' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7470647130240808582/posts/default/5151616486005810204'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7470647130240808582/posts/default/5151616486005810204'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sellingindonesianproperty.blogspot.com/2008/09/purchasing-property-in-indonesia.html' title='PURCHASING PROPERTY IN INDONESIA'/><author><name>FRANICA</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14512191056915772283</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
