Land or apartment in Dhaka: how to decide
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.
Which is easier to manage?
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.
Which gives more freedom?
Land. You decide the plan, the finishes and the timeline, within the approved building rules for the plot.
What must I verify for land?
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.
What must I verify for an apartment?
The project approval, the land title behind it, the handover date and delay terms, and the developer's track record on completed projects.
