Drag to turn it. Switch the light. This is how Samiur helps buyers read a plan: from every side, before a single wall goes up.
Arrive at eye level. A stone volume, a screen of timber, a pool that holds the evening light.
An original design study drawn in code to show how Samiur walks buyers through a plan. It is not an available property.
Before he sold homes, he navigated ships. Discipline at sea became a habit on land: plan the route, watch the weather, arrive on time.

In general, Gulshan and Banani suit buyers who want to live close to offices, restaurants and services. Baridhara suits those who want a quieter, greener enclave with larger homes. Bashundhara Residential Area suits buyers who prefer a planned, newer neighbourhood with more new apartment supply.
Gulshan and Banani sit at the commercial heart of north Dhaka, close to offices, embassies, hospitals, schools and restaurants. The trade off is traffic and a busier street life.
Baridhara is generally the calmer choice, known for wider roads, larger plots and a diplomatic neighbourhood feel. Homes here tend to be larger and fewer.
Bashundhara Residential Area is a large planned private neighbourhood where a lot of recent apartment building has happened. It usually offers more choice of newer projects.
Compare price per square foot for similar age, floor and facing, then ask what the handover status is and which recent sales support the asking price. A private briefing with current figures beats any article, because the market moves.
Decide how you will use the home: daily commute, children's school, quiet, or long term value. The right area follows from that order, not the other way round.
Before booking a flat in Bangladesh, confirm the project has a valid approval letter from RAJUK or the relevant authority, trace the land title and mutation, see original documents, and make sure the contract states a handover month and a penalty for delay. Have a lawyer review everything before your first payment.
Ask for the project's approval letter from RAJUK or the relevant city development authority. If the land is developed jointly, ask for the registered power of attorney between the landowner and the developer.
Trace the chain of ownership through the CS, SA, RS and BS khatians, confirm that mutation is complete and land tax is paid, and check that the dag and khatian numbers match across every document. Confirm there are no disputes, liens or acquisition notices. Insist on seeing originals, because incomplete paperwork is a warning sign.
It should name a specific handover month and year, set compensation for each month of delay, and state the refund terms if the project is abandoned or badly delayed. The deed should specify your designated parking space.
Visit a completed project by the same developer and speak to residents. Check the lift and generator, the electricity meter, the water source, the gas plan and the security arrangements.
Yes. A checklist helps you ask the right questions, but a qualified lawyer should review the documents and the contract before you pay anything.

Purbachal New Town is a RAJUK planned township of about 6,200 acres between the Shitalakshya and Balu rivers, northeast of Dhaka. The plan includes roughly 26,000 residential plots and 62,000 apartments, lakes and canals across about 8 percent of the area, and a 114 acre central business district. Check utilities and plot status on the ground before you buy.
It is a planned satellite town northeast of Dhaka, listed under RAJUK, the capital development authority. The project was launched in 1995 and its completion deadline has been extended several times.
Public reporting on the plan describes about 26,000 residential plots and 62,000 apartments, canals and lakes covering about 8 percent of the area, a 114 acre central business district including the Tri Tower, and planned hospital, school and convention facilities.
Roads are largely built, but reports as of 2024 note that many areas still lack water, electricity, gas and sewage connections, and that large parts remain vacant. Progress changes with time, so ask for current information about the exact sector you are considering.
Confirm the plot or project allocation, the sector, utility timelines, access roads and the title, using the same documents you would check anywhere in Dhaka. Visit the site, preferably with someone who knows the sector.
That depends on your horizon. A long term buyer who can wait for infrastructure sees it differently from someone who needs to move in soon. Talk through your timeline first.

You can buy in Dhaka while living abroad if you appoint a trusted representative through a properly drafted legal authority, verify the property by live video or a trusted visitor, pay only through traceable bank channels with receipts, and keep one clear point of contact who updates you in your own time zone.
Choose one trusted person, ideally a relative, and have a lawyer draft and attest the legal authority they will use. Do not rely on informal promises.
Ask for a live WhatsApp video walkthrough at a time that suits you, and have your representative visit in person. Request dated photographs of progress for projects under construction.
Use traceable bank channels and insist on written receipts for every instalment. Match each payment to the schedule in your agreement.
Agree one channel and one rhythm, for example a short WhatsApp update every Friday and a call at each milestone. A single point of contact avoids confusion.
Run the full project check with your lawyer, then decide. Never let a deadline abroad rush a document check at home.
Choose an apartment if you want a ready structure, shared facilities and less to manage. Choose land if you want design freedom and a longer horizon, and are ready to verify title carefully and manage construction yourself.
An apartment, because the structure, lifts, security and common areas are provided and a service charge covers upkeep. Land leaves construction, approvals and supervision to you.
Land. You decide the plan, the finishes and the timeline, within the approved building rules for the plot.
The full ownership chain, mutation, land tax, dag and khatian consistency, the absence of disputes, and the permitted use and building rules for that plot.
