1. Set your budget
Include registration costs (about 10–12% of the deed value), utility connections, service charge and interior work.
2. Check the papers
Ask for the title deed, mutation (namjari), latest land tax receipt (khajna), RAJUK or local approval and the developer agreement for apartments.
3. Visit at different times
See the area in the morning and in the evening; check water, gas, traffic and flooding in the rainy season.
4. Agree in writing
Sign a bayna (sale agreement) that lists the price, payment schedule and handover date before paying an advance.
5. Register the deed
Complete the registration at the sub-registry office and update the mutation in your name.
