📄 What You Should Know First

Before selling land, make sure the land is in your name and free from legal issues. Check if you have the land ownership certificate (lalpurja) and that the land is registered properly in the Land Revenue Office (Malpot).

📌 Things You Need

• Original Lalpurja (land ownership paper)
• Recent Malpot receipt (land tax clearance)
• Your citizenship certificate
• Family relationship certificate (Nata Pramanit)
• Map of the land (Naapi Naksha)

🔧 Step-by-Step Strategy to Sell Land

• Step 1: Set a reasonable price (check nearby land rates)
• Step 2: List your land online (like Gharbazar, Basobaas, etc.)
• Step 3: Put a “Land for Sale” board on the land
• Step 4: Talk to local real estate agents for help
• Step 5: Show the land to interested buyers
• Step 6: Agree on the price and sign a sale agreement
• Step 7: Go to the Malpot office to transfer the land legally
• Step 8: Submit required documents and pay registration fee
• Step 9: Buyer gets the new Lalpurja in their name

🏦 After Selling the Land

Once the land is sold and transferred, keep a copy of all documents. Make sure the payment is complete and confirmed. If you received cash, deposit it safely in your bank account.

🧠 Tips for First-Time Sellers

• Do not share original documents with unknown people
• Check buyer's background before the deal
• Take help from a lawyer if needed
• Keep record of all payments and agreements
• Do not hide anything about the land (like disputes)

Note: Always complete the land sale through the legal process. Never make cash deals without proper documents.
