Private Island Purchasing Costs

Private Island Purchasing Costs

Purchasing private island or land investments in Anambas typically involves transaction costs that range from 9% to 12%. Most of these fees relate to property transfer and legal services. However, the corporate structure you choose can affect total costs, especially if you plan to subdivide or sell portions in the future.


Approximate Transaction Costs

Transfer Tax (BPHTB) – 5.0% of Sale Price

The government charges a 5% Transfer Tax (Bea Perolehan Hak atas Tanah dan Bangunan, or BPHTB) on property transfers in Anambas. This tax can vary between 1% and 5% nationwide, but in Anambas, the rate is set at 5%.

Notary Fee – 1.5% to 2.5%

A notary manages the legal aspects of the title transfer. Although fees depend on the property value and complexity, higher-value transactions often incur lower percentages.

Land Certificate Fee – ~1% of Sale Price

Authorities charge this fee for issuing a new land certificate in the buyer’s name. The total cost usually reflects a small percentage of the property’s value.

Legal Fees

Legal consultations, due diligence, and related administrative services can vary in price. Kepri Estates can provide cost estimates from affiliate law firms if you choose to use their services.

Mortgage Fees

If you finance the purchase through a mortgage, expect fees for loan processing, appraisal, and mortgage registration. Lenders and local regulations determine the exact amount.


Planning for Long-Term Goals

We recommend obtaining a detailed cost estimate based on your overall development objectives. Often, the structure of your initial purchase influences future possibilities, such as subdividing land or selling off sections of a completed project. By clarifying your intentions early, you can choose an optimal corporate and legal framework to streamline your investment and any eventual exit strategy.
