Purchasing Apartment in Dhaka city? - Remember These Must Have Points!

Almost every person living in Dhaka city has a dream of building a permanent address in this city. A residence of one's own, where no one will ask for rent at the beginning of the month. A head-turning place that no one would ever ask to leave. In a house where you have freedom to go to the roof whenever you want, there is no one to answer to if the children climb on the wall. Where if two bulbs are lit instead of one, no one will come to calculate the electricity bill.

This demand cannot be legitimately fulfilled overnight. It requires hard work, dedication and savings. Let's find out today what you need to do and what you need to focus on to make this dream come true.

Source of money

If you want to buy a flat in Dhaka, you need to save money for a long time. So keep checking flat prices from now and start saving money accordingly. For special needs, you can take a loan from any person or organization. Nowadays many institutions provide 'Home loan' for buying a house

Verification 

Money is not the only thing, you must choose a reliable real estate company when buying a flat. In this case, it is definitely better to buy a flat from a famous company. Reputed, experienced real estate companies use high quality raw materials, complete the construction of each building in strict compliance with the rules.  If you are interested in buying a flat in a company, you must know a few things about them. For example:

Whether the institution is a member of REHAB or not

Membership of REHAB i.e. (Real Estate & Housing Association of Bangladesh) is very important for a real estate company. Each member organization of REHAB is responsible for constructing the building according to the building regulations of the country. So, find out whether the company you are interested in buying a flat from is a member of Rehab or not, Whether Rajuk is registered or not.

If a company wants to legally do real estate business in Bangladesh then that company must be registered by the Capital Development Authority (RAJUK). So check whether the company you are looking for a flat has any Rajuk registration number or not from the respective website.

How many projects has the organization already handed over on time?

It is very important for a real estate company to complete an apartment on time and show it to the buyers. Check with the company you are interested in. Find out how many tasks they completed on time.  Otherwise, it may appear that you have invested a huge amount of money and are sitting in the hope of living in your own flat. Years went by, but that saint's flat didn't understand anymore.

Consider the distance 

It should be decided in which area to buy a flat keeping in mind the pros and cons of all the family. How the family members will travel from their new home to school, college or workplace must be thought out in advance and all arrangements should be made accordingly. It is absolutely not advisable to buy a flat in such a place from where it is impossible to reach offices, courts and educational institutions on time.

Notice the environment around the house

Check whether the surroundings of the house are clean or not. If there are sinks, drains etc. around the building, there is more mosquito infestation. The risk of deadly diseases like dengue and chikungunya is high in these houses. There is a risk of dengue even if there are any under-construction buildings nearby. Inside the house, such as in the garage, whether water accumulates or not, whether it is regularly cleaned or not, these must be noticed. Living in a dirty, damp environment is not good for health.

Monitor social environment and home security systems

Try to understand the social environment of the area where the flat is located. Especially try to understand what kind of buildings, what kind of people live around the building that you want to buy. If the building is located in a noisy environment, it will be difficult to concentrate on any work, including studying. Check out the home security system as well. Keep a sharp eye on whether there is a doorman or a lock system at the gate, when someone unknown can enter the building. It is necessary to know whether there are CC cameras in the apartment, whether they are working or not.  Try to find out if there is a burglary problem in the building. It is safer not to rent that house if there are drugs or other anti-social activities nearby. Avoid renting a house where the safety of family members is not guaranteed in your absence, where your child may go astray in the company. 

Check gas supply

Before buying a flat you must check whether the flat has gas line or not. If there is no gas line, cylinders must be provided.

Learn about water supply

It must be known whether the flat has uninterrupted water supply or not. Even if the water supply is regular, it is necessary to know whether the water is healthy or not, whether the water tank is cleaned regularly or not. Talk to people living in the building if necessary. Sometimes it is seen that everything is fine in the house, but as the water is not healthy, various kinds of diseases start as soon as the new house is moved. Children are often affected by abdominal pain. So inquire about this in advance.

Check the power supply

You must know whether there is a power supply line at home, whether there is regular electricity or not.

Air conditioning system

If you have one or more air conditioners, then before buying a flat you must see how many rooms of the flat have AC installation. According to the electrical design of the flat, not all the rooms are equipped with AC from the beginning. In these cases AC has to be installed by making several changes in the electrical wiring. If possible, this matter should be discussed in detail with the representative of the concerned real estate company before the flat is constructed.

Electrical wiring work 

Not only ACE, but if you have multiple fridges, any washing machines or IPS, that also needs to be considered during electrical wiring. This will eliminate the need for risky extension cords in the future.  Chances of accidents due to short circuit will be reduced.

Consider the pros and cons of domestic animals

Don't forget if you have any pets like dog, cat etc. Some apartments do not allow pets, and landlords are required to comply with this rule. In such a situation, you have to choose either the house or your beloved pet To avoid this situation, buy a flat in an apartment that does not allow pets.If you have pets with you, the house should be 'Pet protected'. Or jumping from a window or balcony may cause your beloved pet to die.

Check the location of the flat

The location of the house must be considered in selecting the house. South facing houses have adequate ventilation. So demand for south facing flats is always high. On the other hand, due to the direct sunlight falling on the west-facing flats, the heat is relatively high in the flats. Living in these flats without AC is very difficult.

How many floors is the flat located on?

This is a very important matter. The prices vary from floor to floor in the same building. If you buy a flat on two floors, you have to face some problems. For example: generator noise and oil smell, water pump noise etc. Burglary is also relatively high on ground and second floors.

If the flat is located on the top floor, the heating is much higher. So before renting a flat, these pros and cons must be considered.

How safe is it for children?

Before buying a flat, consider how safe it is for your child to live there? For example, if you have a two-three year old child in your home, then a house that does not have a balcony railing cannot be rented. Such nests are dangerous for the life of your unsuspecting child. Apart from this, attention should also be paid to the structure of the stairs. Some stair designs are hazardous for children. Avoid buying a flat in that building if the staircase design seems dangerous.

Personal comfort 

Think carefully whether you would be comfortable living in the flat or not. Let's say the flat is on the fifth floor, but there is no lift in that building. Meanwhile, you or someone in your family may find it difficult to climb stairs due to some physical problem. In this situation you should not rent the house. The decision to buy a house must be made keeping in mind the comfort of everyone in the family, especially the elderly members.

Check all electrical lines, plumbing pipes, bathroom fittings, door locks etc. before entering the house. If there are any problems, take necessary measures so that the problems are solved before you start living in the house.

Emergency services

Danger is never predicted. Since the flat is being bought for permanent residence, it is necessary to check whether the necessary services are available in the vicinity or not. Whether there is a nearby hospital or not, whether there is any medicine available nearby in case of sudden need, these must be considered. The number of shops in the vicinity, whether the daily necessities are available in those shops should be taken care of. Another important factor is the communication system of the area where you are buying the flat. Buying a house in a place where you have to stand for hours in traffic, where an ambulance cannot stop in front of the house in case of a medical emergency is not at all convenient.

Other Benefits

Check whether the building where you are buying the flat has lift, car parking facility, children's sports facilities, community hall etc.

Follow the legal process properly

If buying a flat from someone, make sure that the person you are buying the flat from is actually the owner of the flat or someone authorized by the owner. If you buy a flat from an organization, you must go to the office of that organization and complete all the necessary agreements. Read the agreement that is signed while buying the flat. Check the various terms and conditions of the contract, term of the contract etc. See, hear, understand everything and then sign the contract. Because, in these cases, due to small mistakes, you can become a victim of big fraud.

The documents that must be verified while buying a flat are-

• Land deed
• Namjari (Mutation) Certificate
• City Survey
• Rajuk approval
• Power of Attorney (if applicable)

If you want to buy a second hand flat then you need the previous ownership deed,

Documents such as Rajuk Sale Permit, Rajuk Seller Mutation, AC Land Mutation, etc. must be verified.

After buying the flat, the registration has to be done in the name of the person in whose name the flat is bought. Go to the registry office quickly and complete the registration of the flat.
