Question 1

How do I know a listing on Sandar is genuine?

Accepted Answer

Every listing is reviewed before it goes live. We confirm the owner or authorised agent, check the lalpurja details, and verify road access and the stated land area. Listings that pass carry a verified badge and a named advisor you can call.

Question 2

Do you charge buyers a fee?

Accepted Answer

No. Buyers and tenants browse, enquire and view properties free of charge. Our commission is agreed with the seller or landlord before a property is listed.

Question 3

How is land area measured in Nepal?

Accepted Answer

Hill districts, including Kathmandu Valley and Pokhara, use ropani, aana, paisa and daam. Terai districts use bigha, kattha and dhur. Use our land unit converter to compare properties measured in different systems.

Question 4

How much home loan can I get from a Nepali bank?

Accepted Answer

Most commercial banks finance 70-80% of the valuation for residential property, with tenures up to 20-25 years, and cap total EMI at roughly half of your verified monthly income. Our EMI calculator gives you an indicative monthly instalment.

Question 5

What documents do I need to buy property in Nepal?

Accepted Answer

Typically the lalpurja (land ownership certificate), blueprint or approved building drawing, tax clearance receipt, four-boundary (chaar killa) report and citizenship copies from both parties. Your advisor coordinates the registration at the malpot office.

Question 6

Can non-resident Nepalis (NRN) buy property here?

Accepted Answer

NRN card holders can purchase property in Nepal subject to current rules and limits set by the government. We help arrange power of attorney so the transaction can proceed while you are abroad.

Question 7

How do I list my property on Sandar?

Send us the property details on WhatsApp or through the contact page. An advisor visits, photographs the property, verifies the paperwork and publishes the listing — usually within two to three working days.

Question 8

How long does a sale usually take?

Accepted Answer

A cash purchase can complete in two to three weeks once terms are agreed. With bank financing, allow four to eight weeks for valuation, approval and registration.
