    if you already have the house (paid for in full) one could mortgage (take a loan) the house as an expat. Ofcourse you contracts need to be in order to do so.
    but O.P. asked for a local

    I thought that was the idea of the tiny BTN houses, where the bank lends you money to buy the house. Typically the houses are built on 1-2 are of land with low quality of construction. I believe also the length of the loans given are relatively short and not like the 25 or 30 years you can get in western countries.

    I suppose I am relating to the experience in Australia, where one say wants to buy a house for $100,000 and the bank requires a deposit of say 10%. The borrower therefore must supply $10,000 of his own money and the bank lends him $90,000 at say 7% reducible interest over 25 years. Payments are calculated at that rate.

    Does a similar situation exist for an Indonesian citizen and what are the interest rates, deposit required etc.

    Default Local buying a house

    Must have NPWP, Commonwealth requires 20 - 40% deposit depending what you are buying i.e. house or townhouse, apartment etc. Loans are I think rather short maybe 10 years.

    Just go to a bank and enquire that is what we did.
