Buying a Bali villa: inspect drainage before you sign

• Inspect during or just after rain if possible; note every area where water sits instead of flowing away.
• Trace water from roof downpipes, terraces, pool overflow and garden beds to its planned discharge point.
• Look for tide marks, damp smells, blistered paint, patched ceilings and green staining near walls.
• Ask an independent building professional to test drains, channels, pits and any pumps—not only view them.
• Record dated photos and price corrective work before it enters your Bali villa investment budget.

This practical inspection checklist is not legal, building or investment advice. Use an independent, qualified local professional to assess the property and proposed remedies.
