Are you planning to buy property in Bangladesh and feeling overwhelmed? You’re not alone! At A.K. Developments Ltd., we believe an informed customer is a confident buyer. That’s why we’ve compiled this helpful guide based on frequently asked questions from real estate customers—especially first-time homebuyers and investors.
1. How do I choose the right property developer?
Choosing a reliable property developer is crucial. Look for developers with a proven track record, transparent business practices, legal compliance, and strong customer feedback. Visit ongoing and completed projects to judge quality. A.K. Developments Ltd. prides itself on integrity, timely delivery, and sustainable design.
2. What documents should I check before buying a property?
Always verify these key documents:
- Land ownership deed
- Building plan approval
- Mutation khatian (record of rights)
- Updated tax receipt
- Developer’s registration & clearance certificate
It’s wise to have a legal advisor review everything before signing.
3. What are hidden costs when buying an apartment?
Besides the main price, consider:
- Registration fees
- VAT & taxes (usually 10–15%)
- Utility connection charges
- Parking space cost (if applicable)
- Monthly maintenance fees
Get a breakdown from your developer in advance.
4. How can I get a home loan in Bangladesh?
You can apply for a home loan through commercial banks or specialized financial institutions. Ensure you have:
- Stable income proof
- NID & TIN
- Down payment (typically 20–30%)
- Credit score/history
Banks like Brac, DBBL, and City Bank offer home loans with competitive rates.
5. What is the ideal location to buy a flat in Dhaka?
The “ideal” location depends on your budget, lifestyle, and commuting needs. Popular areas include:
- Gulshan, Banani (premium)
- Uttara, Mirpur (mid-range)
- Purbachal, Bashundhara (growing areas with good potential)
Proximity to schools, hospitals, and transport hubs adds value.
6. Is it better to buy a ready flat or an under-construction one?
Each has pros and cons:
- Ready flats: Immediate possession, no uncertainty.
- Under-construction: Lower prices, flexible payment, customization possible.
If buying under-construction, choose a reputed developer like A.K. Developments Ltd. to reduce risks.
7. How long does it take to get apartment possession?
For under-construction flats, possession is typically given in 24–36 months, depending on the project’s size and complexity. Always check the delivery timeline in your agreement, and monitor the progress regularly.
8. Can NRBs (Non-Resident Bangladeshis) buy property in Bangladesh?
Yes, NRBs can legally invest in real estate. You must:
- Provide a valid passport & NID
- Send funds via official banking channels
- Comply with Bangladesh Bank’s investment guidelines
We assist NRB clients throughout the process.
9. How can I verify if a project is approved and legal?
Ask your developer to provide:
- RAJUK (or CDA/KDA) approval documents
- Fire and environment clearance
- Land registration and mutation documents
Legal teams can help with verification.
