Why buy a villa for sale in Bali?

It is important to express your reasons for purchasing a villa on Bali; whether for villa investment or to live out your dream of owning a villa abroad. Consider whether, when you are not using the villa in Bali, you may wish to rent the villa. People buy luxury villas for sale in Bali for a variety of reasons. Some are looking for a full time villa in Bali; others are looking for a villa to generate income.

If you are looking for a Balinese villa full time then consider what kind of villa environment you desire. Is it important that your villa is near to a school, a villa off the beaten track or a villa near to the ocean in Bali?

If you are considering renting the villa in Bali then it is important to give some attention to the attractiveness of the villa s area and how sale able the villa is. The majority of visitors to Bali prefer to be in villas near to beaches and nightlife.

Bali villas for sale are often designed with a semi open air concept, a great way to enjoy Bali s superb year round climate. This does however mean that the villa being sold is open to the elements and the villa must be maintained. Many villa buyers decide to employ a Bali villa management company to maintain the villa and rent out the villa.


Villa location is key

You have heard the well used term...Location...Location...Location and villas in Bali are no exception. In Bali, villa sales prices are driven by desirability; a stunning villa view, the villa s proximity to chic bars or a well coveted beachfront villa.
In recent years, areas within a short drive to Bali s stylish Seminyak are popular villa sales choices. Villas for sale with exceptional views are also considered valuable; a villa in a rice field terrace or a villa with a panoramic view.


Villa checklist

Different villa companies are required for villa sales services such as a villa building professional to survey the villa pre-purchase and a legal adviser who is experienced in villa real estate.


Considerations when buying a villa in Bali for sale

(i) Land use restrictions for villas

(ii) Villa construction and building licenses

(iii) Villa building materials

(iv) Villa accessibility

(v) Villa utilities and telecommunication


Villa buying options

There are different options available when buying a villa for sale. You can purchase an existing stand-alone villa, a villa within an estate complex, buy your own land on which to build your dream villa, a villa purely for investment, a villa Off Plan or buy an apartment instead of a villa.

(i) Buying an existing Bali villa for sale
If the villa sold is already built you can judge it against your own villa expectations and if the villa has been rented already then you can do the math on return on villa investment. Be wary of older villas in Bali for sale as they can fall below minimum villa construction standards. Our villa website features only a percentage of our villas so please call and we can personally source your villa for sale for you.

(ii) Buying a villa for sale within a complex
Villas in complexes share common facilities such as a villa restaurant, villa pool, villa gym or villa tennis court. This villa option is popular with clients wishing to use their villa as an investment as these villas are usually centrally managed and marketed. Villa operational costs can be lower too, due to shared villa services.

(iii) Building your own dream villa rental
This villa option has ultimate flexibility because you are in control of villa location and villa design. This villa option comes with extra cost of course. If timing is an issue then a self build villa is not for you; constructing villas can be time consuming. If you are not constantly overseeing the villa project, then villa work could grind to a halt in your absence! A good villa project manager comes in handy in this instance.

(iv) Villa investment
Bali land values have never suffered and annual land taxes are very low. Beachfront and cliff top land for villas are popular choices. Of course buying villas and land in Bali has its own complexities so at Di Bali we always encourage villa buyers to seek legal advice before purchasing a villa.

(v) Purchase a villa off plan
Buying an  Off the plan villa can be a cost effective villa option as developers quote in the early stages of villa development and you can usually pay for the villa in installments.

(vi) Buy an apartment for sale
This can be a cheaper option and is a relatively new phenomenon in Bali.


How can you successfully rent your villa?

Management of your villa for rent is crucial. Well trained villa staff can ensure repeat bookings and great PR. The villa s proximity to holiday activities such as attractions, shopping and restaurants is also a key factor. Villa space is also desirable; it used to be taken for granted that luxury villas included spacious lawns and large pools but recent villa construction leans more towards cramped villas with Plunge pools. Villa bedrooms should be air conditioned with en-suite bathrooms and villa living/dining areas semi open air, a real treat for holidaymakers who are used to living indoors! Villa access roads should be paved and maintenance of the villa should be superb. Semi open air villas require a lot of maintenance.
