Property Title and their Requirements

 

Hak Sewa/Most commonly known as Leasehold (Foreign ownership)

Hak Sewa is most commonly known as the Leasehold ownership title, which grants the right to occupy someone else's property (land or villa) for a duration of time.

-      No payment plans unless it’s a Off plan or under construction property that has a construction period left on the build.

 

Hak Milik/Most commonly known as Freehold (For Indonesian citizens only)

Freehold ownership title, which grants permanent ownership of a property. Hak Milik is registered in the Land Office under the owner’s name, with every ownership transfer and title conversion recorded in the certificate itself as well as the Land Office.
