Land Title Verification & Vetting Checklist Before Buying Property

Purchasing land or apartments in Dhaka without rigorous legal vetting frequently leads to prolonged land litigation and financial losses. Before executing a sale deed or paying booking money, insist on a formal Legal Vetting Report from a qualified Supreme Court advocate.

Key Verification Steps:

• Chain of Ownership: Inspect 30+ year deed history to verify unbroken transfer ownership.
• Khatian Alignment: Ensure consistency across CS (Cadastral Survey), SA (State Acquisition), RS (Revisional Survey), and BS/City Jarip Khatians.
• Mutation & DCR: Verify that the seller's name is mutated in the land office with up-to-date Land Development Tax (Khajna) receipts.
• Encumbrance Check: Confirm the property is free from bank mortgages, court injunctions, or government acquisition lists.
