Frequently Asked Questions

Questions regarding Leasehold

1. Is Leasehold a good idea, when it only covers 25 years?

Yes, leasehold is a wise choice.

1. First off, compared to a Freehold, a Leasehold has much lower initial upfront fees. 

2. Second, even when the lease expires, you are still the home's owner.

3. Third: You have the possibility to extend the Leashold with another 25 years, or you can sell your Leasehold agreement.

4. Low living costs: 

Think of Leasehold as a very long-term lease. 

For example: you would be living there for about 22 euros a day, if you purchased you Leasehold for 200.000 (Exchange rate: November 2025)

Renting out your house thus becomes appealing.

2.  Is it possible to own a Leasehold for the sole purpose of renting it out, rather than living there myself?

Yes, you can purchase a Leasehold, and offer your house for rental.

Kampoeng Belanda will assist you in renting out your house.

3.  What happens if I have a Leasehold, that I need to terminate after 5 years?

  Your Leasehold contract is transferable. The remaining years of the Leasehold Contract can be sold.

4.  What if I plan to live in Bali, only for a couple of months per year?

An easier way is to let Kampoeng Belanda handle it. Kampoeng Belanda has the necessary licenses.

5.  What happens when my Leasehold expires after 25 years? Do I lose my investment?

 or offer your house for rent.

You may live in it yourself, (if you prefer to be among seniors), or you may rent it out.

7.  What good is a Leasehold for me? In 25 years I will be 102! ...I don't think......

Questions regarding the Project Kampoeng Belanda

9.  When will the Kampoeng Belanda project be ready, and when can we start living there?

We will start, as soon we have enough funds to initiate the project. 

Our aim is to finance the project based on 50% Presales off-plan, and 50 % from a group of investors.

What is a Presales off-plan:

"Presales off-plan" refers to the sale of property units, before construction is complete, or even before construction has begun. This practice is common in real estate development, offering specific benefits and features, to both developer and buyer. 

Benefits for Pre-Sales buyers: 

• You have the first choice choosing your house, 

• and Kampoeng Belanda offers you a discount on the Purchase Price.

In Indonesia, the primary agreement used for "off-plan" or "pre-sale" property purchases is the Conditional Sale and Purchase Agreement (CSPA or PPJB - Perjanjian Pengikatan Jual Beli). This preliminary, legally binding document outlines the terms and conditions that must be met, before the final title transfer can occur. 

A CSPA must be made before a local Indonesian Notary. 

10.  How do I register, if I am interested to buy a house?

Soon, we will open an email address, where you can express your interest, and your preference

In short, the process is as follows:

1. Once avalable, we will send the developer’s site map, illustrations, and floorplans, for you to review, and to make a well-informed choice for a specific unit.

2. If you have made your choice, we will send you a Reservation form, which includes all the details  of the unit of your choice, including conditions and prices.

3. A Booking Fee is paid to take the desired unit off the market. This your commitment to proceed.

4. Legal Due Diligence: You will (through lawyer or notary) review the draft sale contract and verify that the project complies with local real estate regulations (e.g., ensuring the developer has the necessary permits and an approved escrow account).

5. Sign the Agreement of Sale: A legally binding sale and purchase agreement (SPA) is signed by both the buyer and the owner. This contract outlines all terms, conditions, payment schedules, and expected completion dates.

6. Payment: Within a set deadline you will pay the agreed amount, minus the initial reservation fee.

7. Formal Registration: The owner or buyer's representative then registers the sale with the local land or real estate authority and the deposit is often

• Health Insurance

Make sure that any medical expenses incurred in Indonesia are covered by your Health Insurance.

Most Health Insurances do cover such expenses, if not for more than a year overseas.

This implies that you must leave Indonesia for a brief length of time inside a year.
