Marketing of flats or apartments can actually be done when the building is not yet finished, this is stated in article 42 paragraph 1 of Law number 20 of 2011. However, there are certain conditions that must be met, namely:

1. The certainty of space allocation is shown through a city plan statement that has been approved by the Regional Government.

2. Certainty of land rights shown through a land title certificate.

3. Certainty of the ownership status of the condominium, namely in the form of a Certificate of Ownership of the condominium unit or in the form of a certificate of ownership of the condominium unit building.

4. Permitting for the construction of flats is indicated through a Building Construction Permit (IMB).

Meanwhile, article 43 paragraph 2 of the Condominium Law states that flats can be bought and sold before construction is completed through a Sale and Purchase Agreement (PPJB), which is made before a notary as long as they have clear land ownership status, IMB, and developability of at least 20 % volume of flat building construction.
