And you can also do simple research on the internet about their company and their contact (director). 2. Sign a proper agreement with the company directors When I say proper, it means you must include a timeline, payment scheme, fines or consequences in case of default and the choice of law of either party. 3.

Precise drawing Please complete your project with exact drawings with detailed specifications, this will help you and your construction company to be on the same page for project quality. 5. Feel free to hire an independent third party It could be a lawyer to help you make sure that the terms in your agreement are sufficient and or an architect/quantity surveyor to measure the progress of your project before you make any further payments.

Don’t spend any penny before you read these three essentials in buying property in Indonesia!
1. Ownership The ownership status of your coveted property has to be clear.Is it owned by an individual or a (developer) company?The certificate has to be under the same name as the seller. But what if it is under a different name? Then you have to understand the relationship between the seller and the person/company whose name is listed on the certificate. The seller may be the heir of the latter or in some kind of partnership. If the status is based on inheritance, you have to make sure that the other heirs (if any) agree with the transaction.Ownership can also be in a form of Freehold, Right of Use or Right to Build. The period of use is a way to differentiate the three. 2. Location Once you have a crystal clear view of the ownership status, then the next essential thing will be the location. When I say location, it will be more about the zoning of the desired property. It will be a waste if you buy a property in a green or farming zone when what you want to build is a holiday house. And a property within a sacred area zone will also complicate the permit process.Although many people overlook the risk, it would not hurt to have an insight. 3. Accessibility After you consider both aspects above, you should find more details about the property’s accessibility next. When you want to build a residence on the property, accessibility is not limited to road access(especially when the location is not the roadside), but also electricity and water availability.
