Property Buying Guide for NRNs

Buying property in Nepal while living abroad takes careful planning. Before choosing a home or plot, confirm which ownership rules apply to your citizenship or NRN status and what documents you need.

Verify the Property

Check the ownership certificate, survey map, boundaries, road access, and any restrictions on the property. If you cannot visit in person, arrange for an independent professional to inspect it and verify the records.

Plan the Purchase

Confirm the total cost, including registration fees and applicable taxes, before paying an advance. If someone will sign on your behalf, arrange the required authorization in advance. Complete payment and ownership transfer through the proper channels, and keep copies of every document.
