Questions
Projects and Real Estate: answers.
Short answers to the questions clients ask real estate lawyers in Bangladesh before they instruct us.
Book consultation →How do real estate lawyers in Bangladesh check land title?
We trace the chain of title through registered deeds and the record-of-rights (khatian), confirm mutation in the seller’s name, check land development tax payments, search for litigation and encumbrances and, where needed, inspect the land and boundaries.
Can a foreigner buy land in Bangladesh?
Foreign nationals face restrictions on owning land directly, and most foreign investors hold land through a Bangladeshi company or take long leases. The structure should be agreed before any payment is made.
What is mutation and why does it matter?
Mutation updates the government land records to show the new owner after a transfer. Without it, the buyer’s position is weaker in disputes and in later sales, so it should follow every registration.
Do you advise on EPC and FIDIC contracts in Bangladesh?
Yes. We advise employers, contractors and lenders on EPC and FIDIC-based contracts, including local law amendments, performance security, delay and variation claims, and dispute boards and arbitration.
Can a power of attorney be used to sell property while I live abroad?
Yes, if it is executed and authenticated in the form required by the Power of Attorney Act 2012. A defective power of attorney is a common cause of failed transfers, so it should be prepared by Bangladeshi counsel.
