can i buy while still in europe need local rep?

Hello Vic Yes, you can start the buying process while still in Europe. Most of the initial due diligence, document review, negotiations, and coordination can be handled remotely. A local representative or lawyer in Bali can assist with the process, and certain documents can be signed under a Power of Attorney, depending on the transaction and the parties involved. However, the exact process depends on the type of property and ownership structure. We recommend working with an independent Indonesian property lawyer to verify the legal status of the property and confirm which steps can be completed remotely before you travel. You can start the process now and plan your visit to Bali in December once the necessary checks have been completed. Let me know if you need any help or consulting. Thank you.
