JAKARTA - The Ministry of Agrarian and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency (ATR/BPN) revealed that both sellers and buyers must understand the land purchase and sale process in accordance with legal provisions.
"The public needs to ensure that the status of the land is clear from the beginning, including the validity of documents and make sure that it is not entangled in disputes, so that the buying and selling process can run safely and avoid problems later," said Head of the Public Relations and Protocol Bureau of the Ministry of ATR/BPN Shamy Ardian in his statement in Jakarta, Friday.
The process of buying and selling land does not stop at the stage of agreement between the seller and the buyer which is continued with the payment transaction for the land. Both the seller and the buyer must understand the flow of buying and selling land in accordance with legal provisions so as not to cause problems later.
According to Shamy Ardian, in general the buying and selling process begins with an agreement between the seller and the buyer regarding the object of the land, price, and transaction terms. In this initial stage, the buyer must ensure that the status of the land is clear, the documents are complete, and there is no dispute so that the next process can run smoothly.
From the buyer's side, they need to provide a Population Identification Card (KTP), Family Card (KK), Tax Identification Number (NPWP), and are required to pay BPHTB (Land and Building Rights Acquisition Tax). Fulfillment of this obligation is part of the series of land purchase and sale administration.
Meanwhile, sellers, said Shamy Ardian, they are obliged to provide original land certificates; ID card, KK, and NPWP; proof of payment of Land and Building Tax (PBB); approval of the couple (if married); and no less important is the proof of payment of PPh (Income Tax).
Furthermore, the process continues to the stage of making the Deed of Sale and Purchase (AJB) through the Land Deed Maker (PPAT). At this stage, both the buyer and seller prepare documents, such as original land certificates, identity, and other requirements in accordance with the provisions.
According to him, PPAT will check the completeness of the file and pour the agreement of both parties into the AJB as the basis for the transfer of rights. PPAT will also check the suitability of data from the certificate to be transferred.
After the AJB is signed, the process continues with the submission of the certificate name back to the Land Office in the local city/district. After the application is processed, the data of the right holder in the land book and certificate will be updated from the seller's name to the buyer's name. This stage is important so that the new ownership is officially recorded in the land administration.
For the process of applying for a name change at the Land Office, the applicant/buyer can prepare a number of requirements. Starting from the application form that has been filled out and signed by the applicant or his/her power on the stamp; letter of authority if empowered; photocopy of the applicant's identity (KTP, KK) and power if empowered, which has been matched with the original by the counter officer; original land certificate; AJB from PPAT; photocopy of the Notification of Tax Due (SPPT) and the current year's PBB which has been matched with the original by the counter officer; and also proof of the BPHTB deposit letter and proof of payment of income (at the time of registration of rights).
Land information, said Shamy Ardian, including the requirements for this transfer of rights to buy and sell, can be seen by the public in full from the Sentuh Tanahku application. In the application, select the "Service Info" menu, then click "Transfer Rights", and select the "Buy and Sell" option. Through the features in Sentuh Tanahku, the public can also see a cost simulation based on the value of land per m2 and the total land area.
