Buying makes sense in Kathmandu when you plan to stay in the city long term and can carry the costs comfortably, because ownership gives you stability, control over your home, and an asset that stays yours. That is the practical case for anyone asking why buy a house in Kathmandu instead of renting, although renting still wins for people who need flexibility or are not yet financially ready. Looking...
The best place to start your house search in Kathmandu depends on how much support you want along the way. Buyers typically look across five main channels: online property portals, real estate agencies such as Punarvaasu Nepal, independent property agents, social media groups, and personal networks. Each offers a different mix of listing volume, convenience, and reliability. Understanding how these...
First-time buyers in Kathmandu need six things sorted before making a purchase decision: clear requirements, a realistic budget, the right location, verified property information, a physical inspection, and awareness of the mistakes that most often trip up new buyers. This guide walks through each of those, with guidance from Punarvaasu Nepal along the way. Understand Your Requirements Before...
If you have some capital set aside and you're trying to decide where to put it, the house vs land investment in Nepal question comes up almost immediately. Both options show up constantly in Kathmandu Valley's property market, and both have genuine advocates. Land buyers point to appreciation and lower upkeep. House buyers point to rental income and immediate usability. Neither , side is wrong, the right...
Many buyers consider Bhaisepati when they want a quieter residential environment while remaining connected to Lalitpur and Kathmandu. It sits close enough to the Ring Road to stay practical, while still offering more space than the city's denser central neighbourhoods. Whether you're comparing houses, looking at residential plots, or trying to work out whether the area makes sense as a long-term...
If you've ever looked at a property listing in Nepal and seen a plot described as "0-3-2-1" or "4 Aana 1 Paisa," you've run into one of the more confusing parts of buying land here. Traditionally, Land Measurement in Nepal falls mainly into two systems, depending on where you are, the Ropani-Aana-Paisa-Daam system in the hills and Kathmandu Valley, and the Bigha-Kattha-Dhur system in the Terai. Each unit...
There is no single house price in Kathmandu. Prices vary substantially depending on the neighbourhood, land size, road access, and the age and condition of the house. The number that actually matters to a buyer isn't the citywide average — it's what a given budget can realistically buy, and in which neighbourhood. Punarvaasu Nepal works with buyers across Kathmandu and the wider Valley. This guide...
Ghar Bato Sifaris is a recommendation issued by the concerned ward office that provides official information about a property's road access — its type, width, and how it connects according to local records. If you're buying, selling, or registering land in Nepal, you'll likely encounter this document, and confusing it with the paperwork you already know — Lalpurja, the trace map, a right-of-way check...
Before you pay an advance on a house in Nepal, walk through the visible structure, roof, terrace, water supply, plumbing, drainage, electrical system, dampness, road access, and parking. Compare the building against its approved Naksa, and ask the seller directly about its construction age, past repairs, and any alterations. If you notice major cracks, structural changes, or documents that do not match...
The most direct way to check right of way before buying land in Nepal is to confirm three things: that the land physically connects to a usable road, that this connection is recorded in official documents, and that your right to use it is legally enforceable and will survive a change of ownership — a visible road alone proves none of these on its own. At Punarvaasu Nepal, this is one of the core checks...
