Buying a flat is one of the biggest financial decisions in your life. Whether you’re purchasing your first home or investing in rental property, it’s essential to evaluate key factors before booking. In this guide, we provide a practical and easy-to-follow checklist for flat buyers — ensuring a safe, smart, and regret-free decision.

1. Location and Accessibility

Location is everything. Before booking a flat, check:

• Proximity to schools, hospitals, markets, and workplaces
• Availability of public transport (like bus stops or metro)
• Future development potential (road expansion, new projects nearby)

Choose areas like Mirpur, Uttara, Bashundhara, or any place that balances convenience and future value.

2. Legal Documents and Approvals

One of the most important yet often overlooked steps. Ask for:

• Rajuk or city corporation approvals
• Deed documents of the land
• Mutation and khatian copies
• Building plan approvals and up-to-date tax clearance

Always buy from developers like Labiba Properties who provide transparent legal documentation.

3. Construction Quality

Don’t just judge by the brochure — inspect the site. Look for:

• Quality of materials used (cement, steel, tiles, etc.)
• Wall thickness, window fittings, electrical wiring
• Safety features like fire exits, earthquake resistance

Ask about piling depth, foundation quality, and building height (G+12, etc.) for high-rise structures.

4. Price Breakdown and Hidden Costs

Understand the full cost, not just the per square foot rate. Ask for:

• Booking money, down payment, and installments
• Extra charges (utility, parking, registration, etc.)
• Flat size (net vs. gross square footage)

A transparent developer like Labiba Properties will provide a full payment schedule in writing.

5. Facilities and Amenities

Check what comes with the building:

• Number of lifts and staircases
• Backup generator, security, parking
• Common spaces like rooftop, lobby, or play area
• Road width around the property (e.g., 40 ft front road, 30 ft back)

The better the amenities, the higher the comfort and resale value.

6. Handover Timeline and Project Status

Ask:

• What is the expected handover date?
• Is it an ongoing or ready-to-move project?
• Penalty or refund clause if there’s a delay?

Labiba Properties ensures timely handover with full documentation and after-sale support.
