[@jarimaatta1814]

[@paulhanahoe-sp4hn]

Great vlog interesting to no approximate prices and thanks to Katut for sharing his house to look through and many happy returns for his birthday

[@aussieant4677]

Thanks Muzza I appreciate your insight into Bali and the contacts you are able to share with the subscribers

[@MurrayWilkinson1]

Glad to be able to help

[@robynregan1096]

Oh I didn't think you could buy land in Bali. Love your channel Muzz. You seem like a really genuine and helpful bloke. Good on you. If i go back, it will be because of your channel.

[@steveth1000]

I was reading an article today about a guy who built in Bali. His advice was to go slow, do due diligence and only go with real estates, builders and contractors who are referred by word of mouth, do not go with anyone new. He wrote that 60 percent of people building run into difficulties. A lot of stress, legal problems with a local neighbour and 2 years later he finally had his gorgeous home. Its not as easy as it's made out to be. He also said there are a lot of ex pat scammers in Bali, don't trust anyone who meets you and starts talking about investment opportunities.

[@MurrayWilkinson1]

I almost cant agree more.

1 are (100m2) freehold land can cost up to AUD 200,000 in Canggu these days. It is a pity they no longer can afford a proper garden and setbacks due to the exorbitant land prices. Now they all end up living wall to wall in concrete boxes located on old rice fields. A far cry from traditional Bali. I'm renting a villa near Sanur build by a local: 250m2 land, probably worth total AUD 200,000 if freehold sale 250m2 villa, medium standard, 4 bedroom, maid quarter, garage, pool, bale that cost total AUD 150,000 to build 3 years ago Villa has proper setback (villa walls 1.2-1.5meter minimum away from perimeter wall)

AND THE LATEST VIDEO WITH FRANK AND MONIKA......AND THE NEW LAWS ALLOWING NON LOCALS TO OWN PROPERTY ( IM SURE SOMEONE NEEDS TO SUIT CERTAIN CRITERIA ) IN BALI IS A GAME CHANGER. AND YES WE CAN NEVER TAKE IT WITH US, BUT WE CAN LEAVE IT TO FAMILY OR SELL ON SHOULD WE KICK OFF THIS PLANET....OR SIMPLY WANT SOMETHING ELSE. GOOD STUFF MUZZA 🕊✨️🙌💙🙏💚🙏💙🙏🙌✨️🦋🐝

[@MurrayWilkinson1]

We purchased 5 ARE in Tulumben from our Balinese friend who subdivided his property. We own it outright without lease and have a contract in place to secure. It overlooks Mt Agung with westerly view sunsets, and the ocean to the east with sunrises. Tulumben is renowned for diving with a ship wreck (USS Liberty). Amed is 10 drive. There is no traffic and it is truly a majestic place. We have preliminary drawings in place and our Balinese friend (Tulumben is his village) has all the local building contacts and has supervised many builds. Our circumstances have changed now and unfortunately we don’t think we will be able to fulfil our dream to build on our 5 ARE (we purchased it pre-covid and now our circumstances have changed 😢 If anyone is interested let me know x

[@MurrayWilkinson1]

Please email me [e-mail]

[@stevebrien6203]

You can't own that outright your contract means nothing.

[@stevebrien6203]

I have over 30 are from nearly 20 years ago I built slowly from scratch over the years have 2 house on it, it's in my wife's name a lokal same with the vehicles. I've been through a lot of experiences with building and sacked my fair share of tukans and coolies. We are 100% good with all the procedures etc. From your post that comes across to me as very dodgy and you've probly been done like a dogs dinner.

[@stevebrien6203]

Beware of the smiling Indonesian/Balinese ....oh they won't rip us off we like family hahaha. Be aware...thousands of people have gone back to their countries with their tails between there legs over time

[@jarrodwaddington266]

@@stevebrien6203why can’t you buy it outright

[@mxlarge6915]

Great video mate. Would love to build a dream villa in Bali. Selling my house in The Netherlands and will have around 330,000 Aussie to spend. Would want to live close to the busy area's though.

[@belindalove9435]

Awesome it looks huge

[@Rockbottomsurf]

Very cool, thanks.

[@davidstorer5551]

After hearing the new regulations of Visa. To live Complexity i think about another country. Even though i have been living of and on Bali for 20 years.

[@jacquibrown8607]

Thank you so much very interesting.

[@davidpenlington2753]

Well done most infomative.

[@Salt_in_her_hair]

Your videos are very helpful. Would you please make a video on what kind of long term (a year) apartment rentals you can get in Sanur, Ubud, and Uluwatu for example? Thank you!

[@MurrayWilkinson1]

I have already done a few long term rental places in previous videos. Prices don't vary much for the locations

[@Salt_in_her_hair]

@@MurrayWilkinson1thanks a lot! I’ll have a look. 👍

[@mit1346]

Nice Home.

[@StevenMcCallum-cz8mz]

But as an Aussie, I believe I cannot own land. As you say, I can lease the land and build, but after 20 or 30 years, the ownership would revert to the landowner, or I would have to knock it down and build elsewhere???

[@dawnesmith1462]

You can get an option to extend or renew.

[@MurrayWilkinson1]

Yes you can own land, but there are some limits or disadvantages to it. Best ask Frank at [e-mail]

[@deniseorourke7235]

Muzza I was under the impression that you could not buy unless you were native to bali

[@MurrayWilkinson1]

There are some circumstances where you can

[@peternord8610]

I contacted the agent you recommended by email, had no response from them 🤷‍♂️ the 1 you did the interview with etc

[@TonyDorsett-vr1mg]

Do you know if the ground floor internal walls are load bearing?

[@MurrayWilkinson1]

Almost everything here is cement block construction, no timber frames so I would say yes it would be load bearing

[@rio20d]

I have a Indo's friend who is a builder/architect, the construction is bit different to Australia, they use all brick wall with cements or blockwall with cements, even the internal walls, unlike in Australia where you have brick or block on perimeter walls with cavity and timber studs internally, so yes its load bearing.

[@peterholm2090]

there is no cavity on external walls and usually no damp proof course.

[@jimmybarrett8630]

Do a video on Thailand bro

[@clintjames3939]

He lives in Bali. Not Thailand

[@marcp108]

really lovely home - thank you for the tour. Interesting to know land and house prices.

[@gumbie007gumbie007]

Hell yeah that's me all day

[@garysmith9985]

Well done Muzza. What area is the house in ?

[@MurrayWilkinson1]

Between Canggu and tannah lot area

[@AlphaConviction]

Can't wait to move there

[@KingXRP007]

Looks like the equivalent of a nasty UK council house.

[@tinashemugayi2580]

There is always a hater in the comments…this is not the uk mate.

[@JasonFaulkner-u2r]

Decent bang for your buck.
