Land disputes and property transactions
Land ownership, transfer, boundary disputes, tenancy and land revenue matters.
Land in Nepal is registered through the Land Revenue Office, and most disputes we see come down to what the record shows set against what has been occupied in practice.
We handle transactions before they become disputes, and we litigate the ones that already are.
What we handle
- Title searches and due diligence before purchase
- Sale, transfer and gift deeds
- Boundary and encroachment disputes
- Tenancy and landlord matters
- Land registration and record correction
- Joint ownership and partition of land
- Compensation in acquisition cases
Check the title before the money moves. Almost every land case we take began with that step being skipped.
Why choose Anvi Legal for land matters
We start with the record: the ownership certificate, the field book, the survey map and the chain of transfers behind it. A title check before purchase costs a fraction of the case that follows a bad one.
Frequently asked questions
What should I check before buying land?
The ownership certificate, the current Land Revenue Office record, the survey map, any mortgage or restriction noted against the plot, and whether legal access to the plot is secured.
What if the registered area differs from what is on the ground?
This is common, and is resolved through a field measurement and, where needed, an application to correct the record. It is far easier to address before a sale than after one.
Can a foreign national buy land in Nepal?
Ownership by foreign nationals is restricted. Limited routes exist for companies with approved foreign investment to hold land for the approved purpose, which we can advise on.
