Land and Property Lawyers in Dhaka
Land is where most Bangladeshi families lose money: a forged deed, a wrong khatian, a sale that was never registered, a plot taken by force. We check the record ourselves, give you a written opinion, and take the case to court when it has to go there.

See how we help →Three stages of land work
Land matters fall into three stages: checking before you buy, transferring and registering, and disputes. The pages below cover each service. The land offices are full of brokers and agents. We do not use them: we check the record ourselves and tell you in writing what we found.

Common questions
How do I check land ownership before buying?
Match the seller's name across the latest khatian, the mutation (namjari) record and recent khajna receipts, then trace the deeds back through a deed search at the sub-registry and check that no case is pending. Our guide walks through each check.
My land has been grabbed. What can I do now?
File a GD, collect your title and possession papers, and act quickly. The Land Crime Prevention and Remedy Act 2023 makes illegal occupation punishable with up to two years' imprisonment and a fine. A civil suit to recover possession under section 9 of the Specific Relief Act must be filed within six months of dispossession.
Can a heba or sale deed be cancelled?
Yes, by a suit in the civil court where the deed was obtained by fraud, forgery, undue influence or without the owner's real consent. Time limits apply, usually counted from when you learnt of the deed, so do not wait.
How long does a partition suit take?
A contested partition suit often runs for several years, through a preliminary and a final decree. A registered bontonnama agreed by all co-owners is far quicker, and we often negotiate one even after a suit is filed.
What does land registration cost in 2026?
The total is the registration fee, stamp duty, local government tax and source tax, and the rates depend on the land's area and value. Our registration cost guide has the current rates and a calculator.
Not sure which of these fits?
Send us a photo of your deed or khatian and describe the problem. We reply within 24 hours. A written assessment costs nothing.
