Finding a Villa to rent long term

"...and we would look at buying a property at a later date."

That will be impossible Marnie, as foreigners are simply not allowed to purchase (own) or have the hak milik deed in their name.

Two things you can start doing even before you arrive in little over a week.  One is to search the internet and the other is to refer to The Bali Advertiser (which is also on-line).

Once you are here, do your best to network with other expats in those areas of interest to you as many properties get rented out by simple word of mouth.

As for real estate agents, they do provide a useful service for those who have limited time to search on their own, so you might consider doing both...working with a few good agents, and doing your own homework.

Good luck with your move to Bali.

Jade, have you considered having a look at Airbnb?  Not sure of your budget etc, but there might be something for you as some places do rent out for a monthly fee which is discounted.  Just another option.  Cheers.

thanks are those villas/homes in Canggu

Are you the same Marnie who put the original post but using Jade Kalaf ? Just asking because your  profile and informations looks the same. It would be wise to read and follow the suggestion given by Ubudian above.

Yes I am sorry about that Jade is my daughter and when I first went on the Expat.com it was all new to me.
I have tried several times to correct and change Jades name to mine but it would not allow me because her name was attached to my email address and when I was putting my name it would come up that email address has been taken you must use a new one.
I did not intend to offend anyone and I would very much like to delete Jades name and attach mine.
I will attempt to correct it again.
Many apologies.

Hi Marnie, no worries about it perhaps the mods or one of the senior members could assist.

However, as Roy said above legally is not possible for foreigners to own land or have the Hak Malik deed under their name.

Another thing you may need to look at is that you or your husband would need a KITAS then your kids will get a dependent KITAS which is needed if joining a school on Bali.

You should check with the school about it.
