Common questions before you shortlist land options
We do not rely on what a seller or agent says. We check the land against the local spatial plan and confirm constraints before you commit, because some land is not legally buildable even if it is being marketed as such.
We focus on verification before money moves. That means confirming the seller’s right to transact, confirming the land status through proper channels, and proceeding only with trusted notaries and legal partners.
Freehold is restricted. Foreign buyers usually use legal alternatives such as leasehold rights or an eligible company structure, depending on goals and use.
Common paths include long term lease arrangements and, for business use cases, a company structure that can hold the appropriate land rights. The right option depends on your use case, timeline, and risk tolerance. Santiago helps you understand the options and connects you with trusted legal partners to choose and execute the right structure.
Nominee setups are legally risky because your rights may not be protected if the arrangement fails. The safer approach is to avoid informal nominee dependence and use legal structures with proper counsel.
The key is confirming that the land can be used for your intended purpose and that the required building approvals can be obtained before you commit. Building without proper approval is high risk.
Rental operations can require additional licensing depending on the intended use and zoning. This is often underestimated. The safer approach is to confirm the licensing path early, not after purchase.
Compensation is disclosed before you proceed. If there is a buyer paid advisory fee, it is agreed upfront. If any seller side compensation applies in a specific deal, it is disclosed before decisions are made.
Best fit for serious buyers who are ready to shortlist land in Uluwatu, Bingin, or Balangan and want zoning clarity and a clean process before committing.
Santiago first came to Indonesia in 2017 chasing waves. Two years later, he met his wife in Sumatra and never left.
Living between the surf and local village life, he slowly became “the guy people trust” when it comes to land, legal questions, and building in Bali.
Friends introduced friends.
One conversation led to another.
And over time, Santiago became a connector — someone who protects foreigners from the mistakes he saw happening again and again.
He’s not an agency, or a broker. He's an expert in Bali & Indonesia.
He helps you find the right land, structure it safely, and connect with professionals he already trusts.
Honest guidance. Real local knowledge. Someone truly on your side.
If this sounds like the kind of person you’d like to work with, send Santiago a message.
