    Default What remuneration for the nominee?

    Hi,

    I would greatly appreciate your insight here. I want to buy a land in Lombok through the classic nominee arrangement. I have a reliable nominee but I'm not too sure about the remuneration I should give him.
    Would 1% of the total sale price be appropriate? Or is too much? Or not enough? (the price of the land is 50000 Euros, I hope 40000 after negotiation...).

    Another question, do you know any reliable business and property consultant / notaries / lawyer? (if possible in Lombok, but if you know anyone in Bali who's trustworthy, I'm interested as well)

    Thank you very much in advance for your help and good luck for your endeavors!

    Cheers

    Leeloo

    Hi Leeloo and welcome to the forum.

    The first question is did your nominee have anything to do with the purchase of the land? If so then he or she has already received a commission of possibly 5%.

    If they were not involved then there are several methods of payment depending upon what you intend to do: If you wish to develop the land for later sale then you can negotiate a % of the future sale price (up to 5%) in so far as the nominee is of assistance in that sale, payable upon final sale.

    Or you can agree a yearly payment of 1or 2% to keep them happy. As far as I know it is entirely up to you what you agree.

    Bear in mind that you are really only trying to keep him or her happy and honest, not make them wealthy.

    Hi Markit,

    1000 thanks for your answer.

    No, my nominee has nothing to do with the sale. But actually I think I would prefer this type of remuneration (meaning a 1 time payment) cuz I want to build a business on this land, so I expect to sell the land much much more (I hope!!!) than what I first paid for it, that's why giving him a percentage of the sale price is not interesting for me.
    When you're talking about giving him a yearly payment of 1or 2%, you mean 1 or 2% of the buying price? It sounds a lot to me...
    Eventually I think I'm gonna buy more land than I first thought. I'm thinking about buying a piece of land worth from 70 000 til 100 000 € so since it's a lot of money I thought an upfront remuneration of 1 or 2% would be good enough, don't you think?

    Thanks once again and have great day!

    if youre building a business..start a pma and buy the land in the business'es name,wich you own..no nameholder,no percentage paid..use the money 2% intented to pay the nominee,to set up this pma. As a bonus you get an instant kitas as well for this :). This way you are doing business legal,but you will have to pay taxes on income. But(2) a good lawyer can help you getting the taxes due down..in a legal way that is.
    don't read between the lines..i think the words are clear enough...:)
