New to these terms? What katha and “per share” mean

Plots for sale

Buying land in Bangladesh

Land in Bangladesh is bought and sold in katha, and almost never as a finished thing. What changes hands is the ground plus the scheme intended for it, which is why a listing here quotes the plot size, the storeys planned and the number of units to a floor together — those three numbers are what a plot is actually priced on, and a plot advertised without them is not really priced at all.

Two pricing conventions sit side by side and are easy to confuse. A total price is the price of the whole plot. A per-share price is the cost of one undivided share in a plot held jointly or sold into a development scheme, and it tells you nothing about the value of the land until you know how many shares that plot carries. Every listing below states which of the two it is quoting.

The checks do not vary by district. Read the mouza map and the current khatian rather than a description of them, confirm khajna is paid to date, confirm the seller's own mutation was completed, and have the chain of registered deeds followed back by someone who practises land law. A storey count in an advertisement is an intention, not a permission — RAJUK approval for that height is a separate question with its own answer.

Common questions

How is land priced in Bangladesh?

Usually per katha, or per share where the plot is held jointly or sold into a development scheme. A katha is 720 square feet in Dhaka and most of the country, and about 1,620 square feet in the Rajshahi and Khulna regions — so the unit alone does not fix the size until you know where the land is.

What does "per share" mean, and how is it different from a total price?

A share is an undivided fractional interest in a plot rather than a marked-off piece of it. A per-share price is what one share costs. It is not the price of the whole plot and the plot price cannot be derived from it without knowing the number of shares, which is a figure to get from the seller in writing.

What should I check before buying a plot?

The mouza map and the current khatian for the plot, khajna receipts up to date, the seller's completed mutation, and an unbroken chain of registered deeds. Confirm each from the record itself. On filled or low-lying ground, also establish what the land was before it was filled and how it drains in monsoon.

Does an advertised storey count mean the building is approved?

No. The storey count is the scheme the owner intends. Approval for that height is decided by RAJUK, and near an airport by aviation height restrictions on top of it. Ask whether approval is in hand, applied for, or neither before treating the figure as settled.
