Frequently Asked Questions

Buying

How do I know a lalpurja is genuine?

We verify every lalpurja against the land revenue office record before listing. You’re welcome to visit the office yourself as well — we’ll tell you which office and what to ask for.

Can I visit a property before making an offer?

Yes, and we recommend it. Site visits can be arranged through the inquiry form on any listing or by calling our office directly.

Do you help with the registration process?

Yes, our legal assistance service covers document preparation and coordination with the land revenue office once you’ve agreed on a price.

Renting

How much deposit is typical?

Most landlords in the Kathmandu Valley ask for one to three months’ rent as deposit, refundable at the end of the lease minus any damages.

Are utilities included in rent?

Rarely. Water and electricity are almost always billed separately and metered — check the listing’s specification table for exact terms.

What’s the minimum lease term?

Typically 12 months for apartments and houses, though some owners are open to shorter terms. This is listed on each property.

Selling

What’s your commission?

1% from the buyer and 1% from the seller, agreed and disclosed before you sign anything. No hidden charges at closing.

How long does it take to sell?

Our average is 38 days from listing to a signed agreement, though this varies a lot by location and price.

Do I need to be present for site visits?

No — our team can conduct visits on your behalf if you give prior authorization.

Legal

What happens if there’s a boundary dispute?

We won’t list a property with an active boundary dispute. If one comes up after listing, we pause the listing until it’s resolved.

Can you help transfer ownership after a sale?

Yes, through our legal assistance service, which covers registration paperwork at the land revenue office.

What if the seller’s name doesn’t match the lalpurja?

This is a hard stop for us. We ask for supporting documents (inheritance certificate, name change record) before we proceed with any listing.
