Find Your Perfect Ghar & Jagga in Nepal

We had already paid a token on a different plot when Bikash found that the access road was not registered — it belonged to the neighbour. He told us to walk away and we lost the token, but we would have lost far more. Six weeks later he found us the house we actually live in now.

Anisha was the only agent who talked to me about the building rather than the flat. She took me to meet the maintenance committee before I made an offer. Three years on, the water still runs 24 hours and the generator still works — that is not luck, that is the question she made me ask.

Two other agencies told me my house was worth 5 crore 20 lakh. Leaf valued it at 4 crore 45 and explained exactly why, with the comparable sales printed out. It sold in eleven weeks at 4 crore 50. The honest number was the faster number.

Deepak sat with my son and me for two hours going through the rent projections before he showed us a single plot. I am seventy-one years old and nobody in this business had ever explained the numbers to me directly before. He did.

I have been in Qatar for nine years and my flat in Baluwatar sat empty for two of them because managing it from here was impossible. Leaf handles it now — tenant found, rent in my account on the fifth of every month, photographs each quarter. I sleep better.

Pratima explained the registration fee, the capital gains deduction and the bank charges on a piece of paper before we signed anything. On the day at Malpot there were no surprises. For a first purchase, that mattered more to us than the price.

Rajendra walked the whole plot with me in April, the driest month, so I could see for myself what the water source was doing. Any other broker would have taken me in Shrawan when everything looks green. That told me who I was dealing with.

I found the land myself and only hired Leaf for the document check. Their report came back with a cooperative lien registered against the parcel that the seller had never mentioned. Twelve thousand rupees for that verification saved me forty-two lakh.
