Property & Conveyancing
Land and property due diligence, sale, lease and mortgage deeds, project documentation and registration, and property disputes.
In short
Tuhin & Partners acts on land and property matters in Bangladesh: title due diligence and searches, sale, lease and mortgage deeds, project and development documentation, registration at the sub-registry, mutation, and disputes over possession and title. Land records in Bangladesh are complex and title defects are common, which is why the diligence before a purchase matters more here than the drafting of the deed.
Key takeaways
- Instruments transferring immovable property must be registered under the Registration Act.
- Title is established from a chain of records — deeds, khatians, mutation and rent receipts — rather than a single register.
- Mutation in the buyer's name after purchase is what makes the transfer effective in the revenue records, and it is often neglected.
- Tuhin & Partners conducts title diligence, prepares and registers deeds, and acts in property disputes.

Common questions
Can a foreigner buy land in Bangladesh?
Direct ownership of land by a foreign individual is restricted. Foreign investors ordinarily hold property through a Bangladeshi company, or take a long lease, and the structure should be settled before any deposit is paid.
What should be checked before buying property in Bangladesh?
The chain of title deeds, the record-of-rights entries, mutation in the seller's name, up-to-date rent and tax receipts, and searches for encumbrances, mortgages, litigation and acquisition proceedings. Title defects in Bangladesh are common enough that this diligence is the substance of the transaction rather than a formality.
What is mutation and why does it matter?
Mutation is the updating of the government's record-of-rights to show the new owner after a transfer. Without it the buyer's name does not appear in the revenue records, which causes difficulty on any later sale, mortgage or dispute even though the deed itself is registered.
