Land Buying Checklist: 12 Verifications Before Token Money

Ownership, maps, road access, disputes and taxes - the complete safe-buying flow.

By DigitalNepal · Updated 2026-10-04

Land fraud thrives on rushed buyers. This checklist slows you down exactly where money gets lost: ownership, boundaries, access and dues.

Steps

1Verify ownership chain
Lalpurja, seller ID match, and history of transfers. Gaps in the chain are walk-away signals.
2Match map to ground
Survey map (napi naksa) vs physical boundaries with neighbours present. Fences lie; maps don't.
3Confirm road and utilities
Registered road access, water and electricity reach. Landlocked plots trap money for decades.
4Clear dues and disputes
Tax clearance, no court cases, no bank mortgages. Written certificates, not verbal assurances.

Good to know: Hire an independent local lawyer for big purchases. Their fee is the cheapest insurance in the whole deal.
