Are either of them occupied, and if so on what terms? A retail unit with a stable tenant is a very different proposition from an empty shell. Exact position also matters: frontage, pedestrian access and visibility can outweigh the headline floor area.

And don’t infer a discount merely because a deal completed. The useful label is “known asking-price reduction” versus “none observed.”

A practical request would be a written funds-flow sheet for the IDR 6,357,000,000 transaction: purchase price, each tax and registration item, professional fees, due dates, recipient and expected evidence of payment. Then ask what is excluded. I’d specifically mention ownership advice, title and...

The gross calculation is about right, but I’d focus first on building service charges, reserve contributions and tenant turnover costs. Is the IDR 72,660,000 quoted rent actually achievable after any owner-paid building charges, or is it simply the advertised figure? I’d want a breakdown of...

Same development first, but not exclusively. Neighbourhood boundaries can hide meaningful differences, while condition, layout and handover status can make two nearby flats poor comparables. I’d also be cautious about using public asking-history cuts as evidence of the eventual discount: the...

October 2024 is my cutoff for this snapshot, and the difficulty is deciding whether it shows an emerging warehouse trend or only differences between individual Jakarta properties. The group is deliberately narrow. Asking prices range from IDR 3,651,000,000 to IDR 5,477,000,000, with about 51...

Ask for side-by-side written costings for every structure that is actually available to you. The useful question is not just “what is due at closing?” but also whose name each charge falls under, what value it is calculated from, and whether the quote includes registration and later compliance...

One missing fact: have all three agents suggested roughly the same asking price and selling approach? A low fee paired with an optimistic price can look attractive at appointment stage but tells you little about offer handling. Ask each one to explain the evidence behind the proposed price and...

Photography also needs unpacking. “Included” could mean very different scopes. Ask how many finished images are provided, whether the agent selects them, and what happens if you dislike the first set. I would also want to know whether any floor plan or listing edits sit inside that line item...

First make them put every charge on the same basis. Ask what the fee is calculated on, when it becomes payable, and which items remain payable if the sale does not complete. Then create one list covering photos, listing work, viewings, negotiation and post-agreement support. Otherwise the...
