Bali’s Villa Rental Association is the brainchild of six leading agencies which was established back in 2007. Currently membership stands at 16 organizations operating on the island. While essentially formed to act as a conduit for its members in promoting the destination, its critical tasks are effectively raising the bar amongst the industry and working with villas owners, government, management companies and agents in institutionalizing the trade. One key competency has seen the association being able to deliver value through its efforts in consumer advocacy. As Phuket’s non traditional accommodation providers, management companies and rental agents continue to multiply perhaps now is a call to action for local leadership to form a strategic alliance with similar aims.

Bali’s Villa Rental Association
Developers are confident in the property market’s long-term potential, which will improve in line with Thailand’s economic growth, despite political turmoil on the streets of Bangkok.
Property firms in Thailand saw their performances improve in the first quarter compared to the same period last year, largely thanks to tax breaks for home-buyer. The property market has improved since the third quarter last year with sales picking up. Based on a wide range of forecasts, the Thai economy is expected to grow by 4% this year, but political uncertainty will reduce purchasing power and local and foreign investment in Thailand.
Officially, foreign nationals can hold leasehold titles and usufructs for a period of 30 years, but in practice, leaseholds can be obtained for a 90 year period using the “30+30+30” mechanism, whereby a 30-year lease is agreed between the freehold title holder and the lessee, and two legally binding extension contracts for further 30-year periods are concluded.
Rental houses can be more difficult to find. Unlike highrise buildings, they’re rarely situated on main roads. More often than not, the developments are a few miles out of the central area. Depending on location, four-bedroom houses mostly rent for between $1,350 and $2,930 monthly.
