Protect Yourself from Real Estate Fraud in Bangladesh
Real estate fraud costs Bangladeshis billions of taka every year. From fake RAJUK approvals to double-selling the same flat, the risks are real — but easily avoidable if you know what to look for.
Top 7 Real Estate Scams in Bangladesh
- 1. Fake RAJUK Approval: Developers show forged plan approval documents. Always verify directly at RAJUK Agargaon office.
- 2. Double Selling: The same flat is sold to two different buyers. Demand original sale deed before final payment.
- 3. Disputed Land Title: The land has existing court cases or mortgages. Get a lawyer to check 25-year land history.
- 4. Inflated Declared Value: Developer declares higher price to get more bank loans. Demand transparent pricing.
- 5. Incorrect Flat Size: Actual flat is smaller than agreement. Measure the flat yourself before registration.
- 6. Incomplete Construction: Developer takes money and disappears mid-construction. Check completed projects first.
- 7. Unauthorized Construction: Building exceeds RAJUK-approved floors. Verify floor count against plan approval.
5-Point Safety Checklist Before Paying
- Visit RAJUK in person and verify plan approval number
- Hire an independent lawyer to review land title (25 years)
- Visit at least 2-3 completed projects by the same developer
- Get a written agreement with penalty clauses for delays
- Pay through bank transfer — never cash
