In Nepal&#8217;s property market, the process involves government offices, legal documentation, financial institutions, and negotiations that can feel overwhelming for the uninitiated. This 20-point checklist is designed to walk first-time homebuyers through every stage of the process, from initial preparation to final ownership, so nothing important gets overlooked.<\/p>\n<h2>Before You Start<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Define your must-haves vs. nice-to-haves.<\/strong> Before looking at a single property, write down your non-negotiables (location, minimum bedrooms, parking) and your preferences. This prevents you from falling in love with a property that does not actually meet your needs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Get clear on your total budget.<\/strong> Include not just the purchase price but registration fees (typically 4\u20136% of assessed value), renovation costs, moving costs, and a 5% emergency reserve. Many first-time buyers run out of cash because they only budgeted for the purchase price.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Check your credit and bank history.<\/strong> Banks review 6\u201312 months of bank statements. Ensure your account shows regular income credits and no irregular large withdrawals that need explaining.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-50599\" src=\"https:\/\/basobaas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/checklist.png\" alt=\"Before you buy checklist\" width=\"1264\" height=\"848\" srcset=\"https:\/\/basobaas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/checklist.png 1264w, https:\/\/basobaas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/checklist-300x201.png 300w, https:\/\/basobaas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/checklist-1024x687.png 1024w, https:\/\/basobaas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/checklist-270x180.png 270w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1264px) 100vw, 1264px\" \/><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Financial Checklist<\/h2>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><strong>Get a home loan pre-assessment.<\/strong> Before you start serious property searching, approach 2\u20133 banks for a preliminary loan eligibility assessment. Knowing your exact borrowing capacity defines your realistic price range.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Save at least 35\u201340% of your target price as a down payment.<\/strong> Nepal banks typically lend 60\u201370% LTV. Factor in that registration fees come from your own funds, not the loan.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Gather all income documentation.<\/strong> Salary slips (6 months), bank statements (12 months), IT returns (2 years for self-employed), PAN card, and citizenship certificate. Have these ready before property searching so you can move fast when you find the right property.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Understand your total monthly obligation.<\/strong> Your home loan EMI should ideally not exceed 40\u201345% of your net monthly income. Higher ratios leave insufficient buffer for life&#8217;s unexpected costs.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-50600\" src=\"https:\/\/basobaas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/financial-resize.jpg\" alt=\"Financial checklist\" width=\"1075\" height=\"716\" srcset=\"https:\/\/basobaas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/financial-resize.jpg 1075w, https:\/\/basobaas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/financial-resize-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/basobaas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/financial-resize-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/basobaas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/financial-resize-270x180.jpg 270w, https:\/\/basobaas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/financial-resize-370x245.jpg 370w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1075px) 100vw, 1075px\" \/><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Location Checklist<\/h2>\n<ol start=\"8\">\n<li><strong>Visit the area at different times of day.<\/strong> A neighbourhood that feels peaceful on a Saturday morning may have a very different character during weekday rush hours or late evenings.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Check water supply reliability.<\/strong> Ask current residents or the building management about daily water availability and storage capacity. This is one of Kathmandu&#8217;s most common post-purchase complaints.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Assess road access in all seasons.<\/strong> Some areas flood during monsoon; some access roads become impassable. Visit during or shortly after rain to understand the true all-season situation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Research future development plans.<\/strong> Municipal development plans can significantly impact an area&#8217;s future value and livability.
