Still have questions? Our attorneys are available for a free, no-obligation consultation to address your specific situation.
Ask an AttorneyForeigners cannot hold Hak Milik (freehold). However, they can hold Hak Pakai (right of use) for residential property, or lease property long-term. PT PMA structures are also used for commercial property.
An AJB (Akta Jual Beli) is the notarial deed of sale executed by a PPAT (Land Deed Official). It is the primary legal instrument for transferring land ownership and must be registered with BPN.
SHM (Sertifikat Hak Milik) is freehold, available only to Indonesian citizens. HGB (Hak Guna Bangunan) is a 30-year building right available to companies. HGU (Hak Guna Usaha) is for agricultural use.
At minimum: verify the certificate at BPN, check for encumbrances and mortgages, review RTRW zoning, confirm the seller's identity, and have a PPAT review all transaction documents.
