What happened

On 28 September 2026 PN Gianyar, the Gianyar District Court, carried out an execution on a property in Singakerta village, Ubud district. It covers land and buildings totalling 1,115 m², fitted out as 30 long-stay rental rooms (kontrakan).

The execution was carried out in favour of Yohan Candra, the winning bidder at auction. The report does not name the previous owner.

The legal basis

The court acted under execution order No. 5/Pdt.Eks.RL/2026/PN Gin. The RL marker stands for a real execution, meaning the physical vacating of the property.

The buyer's right rests on auction record No. 42/14.01/2026-01 dated 21 January 2026. Roughly eight months therefore passed between the auction and the handover.

How the handover went

The court clerk and bailiff removed the defendant's belongings from all 30 rooms. With the consent of his lawyer, damaged beds were taken to a warehouse owned by the defendant's family.

The process ended at 12:20 local time without resistance. Several police units provided security, and the regency police chief said the aim was legal certainty and order in Ubud.

Why it matters

Auction properties on Bali often sell below market value. But winning an auction does not mean you get the keys straight away. If the former owner or tenants stay put, a separate court process is needed to clear the property.

How long this takes depends on the former owner's stance and the court's workload. In Singakerta the buyer got the property only eight months after the auction, and could not rent out the rooms in the meantime.

Ubud and the surrounding villages have many small long-stay rental properties, so executions like this are not limited to large deals.

What it means for investors

If you are looking at an auction property, find out in advance who actually lives there and whether any leases are still running. Allow months for a court-ordered handover and budget for legal fees. We check a plot's certificate and court history before a deal so that scenarios like this are visible early.

Q&A

Can you move into an auction property straight away?

Not always. If the former owner or occupants do not leave, the buyer has to ask the court for a real execution. In the Singakerta case about eight months passed between the auction and the handover.
