Ownership structures
Leasehold (Hak Sewa), right-to-build (Hak Guna Bangunan) via an Indonesian entity, and PMA company structures — and which one your holding period actually requires.
Our Expertise
Regional detail, legal structures and sector conditions — the things that decide whether a Sumbawa investment works.

The coastal west, the inland agricultural plains and the areas around Tambora differ on price, access and permitted use. Advice that treats Sumbawa as a single market misses the part that determines the outcome.
Sumbawa is not one market. The coastal west, the fertile inland plains and the areas around Tambora behave differently on price, access and permitted use. Advice that does not distinguish between them is not advice.
Each of these changes what structure you need and what due diligence has to establish.

Title history verification, permitted-use confirmation and checks for overlapping claims. The step that most often changes a decision.
New airport facilities and road upgrades reshape which locations are viable, usually ahead of published market data.

Every engagement starts with the legal structure, because it constrains everything else. A foreign investor cannot hold freehold title in Indonesia, so the question is which vehicle fits the holding period and whether the asset will generate income — leasehold, right-to-build through an Indonesian entity, or a PMA company.
From there the work is verification. Land title history, zoning and permitted use, overlapping claims, and access rights. In a market with limited comparable sales, this is where value is protected — not in negotiating the headline price.
We also track the infrastructure programme closely, because accessibility is the single biggest driver of land value on the island. New airport facilities and road upgrades change which locations are viable, and they change it faster than published market data reflects.
No. Sumbawa has limited comparable sales data, and a projection built on thin data reads as precision it does not have. We will discuss realistic ranges and tell you what they rest on.
Tourism and hospitality, property development and land banking, agriculture, fisheries and marine resources, and renewable energy.
No. We recommend engaging independent Indonesian legal counsel for every transaction, so that the review is genuinely independent of the advice.
Bring us a sector and a budget, and we will tell you what is realistic in which part of the island.
