Land disputes in Bangladesh almost always arise from broken title chains or unrecorded inherited shares. Always verify the chronological sequence: CS (Cadastral Survey) → SA (State Acquisition) → RS (Revisional Survey) → City/BS Survey.
Ensure the seller has completed mutation (খারিজ) and pays regular land development tax. Furthermore, cross-check the Sub-Registry Office for a minimum 12-year Non-Encumbrance Certificate (NEC) to rule out mortgages.
Key Takeaway for Property Buyers
Always verify the documentation chain through qualified legal counsel and calculate the complete registration tax beforehand to avoid unexpected closing costs.
