Buying Land in Nepal: A Legal and Practical Checklist Before You Pay

Verify ownership, land-use category, access road, utility connections and dispute history before finalizing a land purchase.

Verify the lalpurja and land records

Confirm the seller's name matches the certificate and check the land revenue office for encumbrances.

Check land-use zoning

Agricultural land needs conversion before residential construction is legally permitted.

Confirm physical and legal road access

A landlocked plot without a registered right-of-way can block your future building permit.

Inspect utility availability

Check the distance to the nearest electricity pole, water source and drainage outfall before pricing the plot.
