Buying land or a flat in Bangladesh is exciting—but also a little stressful. You save for years,

the right seller. One mistake can lead to endless problems later.
Many people trust the wrong real estate agent or sign papers without checking. If you want your
investment to be safe, start by choosing a seller who is legal, honest, and actually owns what
they’re selling. In this blog, we are going to discuss how to choose the right property seller

10 key factors to consider when choosing a real estate agent
Buying a flat or piece of land in Bangladesh isn’t something you decide
overnight. It’s a big commitment, and to be honest, the hardest part isn’t finding the property;
it involves finding the right person from whom to buy it. Many people rush the decision and
later realize the seller wasn’t what they claimed. You can avoid that if you check a few key
things first. Let’s talk about them simply, like you
would if you were guiding a friend.
1. Verify legal ownership documents
Start with the papers. The real documents are what matter, not the photos or the promises. Go to
the Sub-Registry Office if you can. A quick visit or a lawyer’s help can protect your
investment; a lot of people regret skipping this step.
You should ask for:
- Dalil (Title Deed): proves who owns the land.
- Mutation Paper: shows the legal transfer.
- Khajna Receipt: confirms taxes are paid.
- A No Objection Certificate (NOC) is especially needed for projects that fall under
the jurisdiction of RAJUK or housing societies.
2. Check the seller’s reputation
In real estate, the person or company matters more than the project photo.
Check how long they’ve been around. Ask where they’ve built before. Visit one of their past
sites and chat with residents. If you hear, “They don’t respond after handover,” that’s your
signal to walk away.
Names like RPCL or Assure Group built trust over the years—others have to earn it
too.

3. Review RAJUK or the relevant authority approval
If it’s in Dhaka or nearby, RAJUK approval is a must. Outside Dhaka, the local city
authority’s
approval works the same way. Don’t depend on verbal assurance. Ask for the approved master plan
or layout. If they avoid it, that’s a warning sign right there.
4. Visit completed projects
Before paying a single taka, go see something they’ve already built. It’s the easiest way to
know what you’re really getting. Check the finishing, parking space, and elevator quality—small
things tell a lot. Talk to residents. They’ll tell you more truth than any glossy brochure ever
will.
5. Transparency in payment schedule
Real sellers never pressure you to pay fast. They give you a proper plan—down payment,
installments, registration cost—all in writing. If anyone asks for “a big booking amount today
or it’ll be gone tomorrow,” just smile and walk away. That kind of pressure usually hides
something.
6. Verify utility & infrastructure access
A beautiful project means nothing without water, gas, and roads. Ask if DESCO, WASA, or
Titas
connections are ready. If not, when will they be? Get that commitment written down. Also, look
around—where’s the nearest hospital or school? A good location means good future value.
7. Construction quality—the hidden truth
Even if you don’t understand engineering, you can still see quality. Tap a wall—if it sounds
hollow, something’s off. Ask which brand of cement or rod they’re using. Visit during
construction if possible. Reliable sellers will never stop you. In fact, they’ll show progress
proudly.
8. After-sales service
A lot of sellers forget you once they get paid. The good ones don’t. They help with
registration, maintenance, and even contacts for interior work. Before buying, ask someone who
already owns a flat from them, “Do they pick up the phone after handover?” That one answer says
everything.
9. Compare the market price & use common sense
Everyone wants a good deal, but if something’s much cheaper than the area average, there’s a
reason. Maybe the land isn’t approved. Maybe it’s low quality.
Compare with at least 2–3 nearby projects. Honest sellers give you a clear breakdown — no hidden
charges, no half-truths.
10. Read every line before you sign
Sounds simple, right? Yet most people skip it. Check the handover date, refund clause,
registration condition, and late delivery penalty. Take your time — or better, take a lawyer
with you. One careful reading can save years of legal trouble.
