Learn how document verification works, what legal records to inspect before buying, and how to execute safe transactions for apartments for sale in Dhaka, residential land, and land share projects.
Document verification indicates that our review team has examined the submitted records for basic document consistency, ownership sequence, and listing authenticity. It is an initial layer of consumer protection designed to eliminate fake or duplicate ads.
Always inspect original deed copies with a certified property lawyer before giving token money.
Paanpata's verification review does not constitute a formal legal guarantee, statutory deed certification, or title indemnity. In Bangladesh, only certified property lawyers and official Sub-Registry Office searchers can confirm whether a property is subject to court injunctions, undisclosed bank mortgages, or pending civil litigation. Every buyer must conduct their own independent legal due diligence before making advance payments. For complete marketplace terms, please review our Terms & Conditions.
Never purchase a flat or land in Bangladesh without rigorously verifying these six core legal documents:
Verify the complete, unbroken 25-year chain of title ownership connecting the current seller back to the original recorded landowner.
Inspect the official CS, SA, RS, and City Jarip Khatians to confirm correct plot/dag numbers, mouza boundaries, and land classifications.
Ensure the seller's name is officially mutated in the Assistant Commissioner (Land) AC Land records, accompanied by a valid Duplicate Carbon Receipt (DCR).
Confirm that the Land Development Tax (LD Tax) has been cleared up to the current fiscal year through the official government e-mutation portal.
For flats in Dhaka, verify the authentic RAJUK building approval letter, approved architectural sheet, structural clearance, and Occupancy Certificate.
Obtain an official NEC search from the relevant Sub-Registry office spanning the last 12 to 25 years to confirm the property is free from undisclosed bank loans.
When investing in land share projects in Dhaka, follow these strict safeguards:
Ensure the development agreement is registered under the Real Estate Development and Management Act 2010. Never join projects based solely on verbal commitments or non-notarized plain paper.
Mathematically verify that the total project land area divided by the total number of shares matches your documented individual land entitlement (e.g., 0.263 katha per share).
Construction installments should strictly tie to verifiable structural stages: piling, basement slab, roof casting, and finishing handovers.
Execute all booking and construction installments via formal account payee cheques or direct banking transfers to the designated project account. Never pay large sums in unreceipted cash.
Our network of verified real estate agents can help you arrange physical site visits, request Bia deed photocopies, and coordinate with Sub-Registry searchers across Dhaka.
If you encounter a listing with inaccurate pricing, forged documents, or misleading agent representation, please alert our trust and safety compliance team immediately.
