Real estate licensing and project approvals in Nepal

The land-use, building and developer approvals that make or break a real estate project in Nepal, from due diligence to final permit.

Land in Nepal is rarely bought or developed on title alone. Behind every deliverable project sit land-use and zoning rules, building permits, developer registrations and, for larger or commercial projects, approvals at the municipal and sometimes central level. Missing one layer early tends to surface later as a hard stop when a certificate, a sale registration or a mortgage is on the line.

The approvals that matter most

For a developer or buyer working on commercial or residential property, the priority is to verify the land can lawfully be used for the intended purpose, secure the building permit before construction, and confirm the developer is registered and the project approved before units are advertised or sold. Buyers should also complete a title and boundary verification so they know exactly what they are acquiring.

We walk the process from the first due-diligence check to the final permit, in English and Nepali, and we carry the correspondence with planning and land authorities so nothing gets lost in translation.
