Property Documentation Checklist in Bangladesh: Avoiding Fraud

Verifying property documents is critical when buying real estate in Bangladesh. Key documents include: Original Deed of Sale, Khatian (record of rights), Dag map, Namahari deed (mutation), Heirship certificate, and Partition deed. You must verify deed registration at the Sub-Registrar's office, check Khatian at the Land Office, and confirm there are no court disputes. For apartments, verify the developer's registration, building approval, and design pass from the local authority. Common frauds include fake deeds, double sales, and undisclosed mortgages. Engaging a qualified land lawyer is essential.
