How to Buy Your First Flat in Bangladesh — Complete Guide 2026
Step-by-Step: Buying Your First Flat in Bangladesh
Buying your first flat in Bangladesh is one of the most significant financial decisions of your life. This comprehensive guide walks you through the entire process from shortlisting a developer to getting your registration documents.
Step 1 — Define Your Budget
Before visiting any project, calculate your total budget including the flat price, registration costs (typically 8-12% of declared value), renovation, and 6-month emergency fund. For example, a ৳46 Lac flat typically requires ৳51-55 Lac total.
Step 2 — Choose a Location
| Area | Price Range | Connectivity | Growth Potential |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dakshinkhan (Miyabari) | ৳4,500-6,000/sqft | Airport 8min, Uttara 15min | 📈 High — 10-12% |
| Uttarkhan | ৳3,850-5,500/sqft | Azampur 1min, Metro 10min | 📈 Very High — 12-14% |
| Uttara | ৳7,000-12,000/sqft | Metro, Bus, Airport | 📊 Stable — 4-6% |
| Mirpur | ৳5,000-8,000/sqft | Metro Line 1, Bus | 📊 Moderate — 6-8% |
Step 3 — Verify the Developer
Check RAJUK approval documents, land title (Deed of Conveyance), BNBC structural compliance certificate, and the developer's track record. Mollik Builders has been building RAJUK-approved, earthquake-resistant homes in Dakshinkhan since 2015.
Step 4 — Sign the Agreement
After paying the booking money (typically 10-20%), sign a Sale Agreement (Bainanama) that specifies flat size, floor, price, payment schedule, handover date, and penalties for delays.
Step 5 — Arrange Finance
Options include bank home loans (8.2% conventional, 6.5% Shariah-compliant) or developer installment plans (0% interest). Mollik Builders offers flexible 3-5 year payment plans with no hidden charges.
Step 6 — Registration
Final registration happens at the Sub-Registrar Office. Required documents: NID, TIN certificate, sale agreement, land documents, and RAJUK approval. Registration fees are 4% (stamp duty) + 1% (local government tax) of declared value.
