5 Things to Check Before Buying a Flat in Bangladesh
Buying a flat is one of the most significant financial decisions you will ever make. Yet many buyers, especially first-timers, rush into a purchase without asking the right questions and end up with regrets they carry for years. At Al-Raji Real Estate we believe an informed buyer is our best customer. So before you sign anything, here are five things you genuinely need to check.
1. Developer Track Record
Research the developer before you commit to anything. How long have they been operating? Have they handed over projects on time? Do they have completed buildings you can actually visit and see? A developer with a proven delivery history gives you real confidence. Al-Raji’s Teacher’s Palace 1 and 2 are both successfully handed over and standing in Keraniganj today. You can see them. That matters.
2. Land and Legal Documentation
Make sure the land on which the building stands has a clear title. Ask for the mutation certificate, the approved building plan, and RAJUK approval documents. Never rely on verbal assurances. Everything must be in writing and everything should be verifiable.
3. Construction Quality
If possible, visit the site in person. Pay attention to the materials being used. The grade of bricks, rods, cement, and finishing materials all determine how your building ages over time and how comfortable your home will actually be. A good developer will answer these questions openly without hesitation.
4. Flat Layout and Space
A flat can look spacious on paper and feel cramped once you step inside. Study the floor plan carefully. Think about how the rooms connect, the size of the balcony, and whether there is enough natural light and airflow. These things affect your daily life far more than people realise until they are living with the consequences.
5. Payment Plan and Handover Date
Understand exactly what you are paying, when you are paying it, and what you will receive at each stage. A trustworthy developer ties payments to real construction milestones and gives you a realistic handover date they intend to keep. At Al-Raji this is non-negotiable. Your money and your trust deserve full transparency.
