The Archive of Record for Legitimate Land Ownership
Lekhaprati exists to eliminate the risk of legal disputes in Nepali real estate. We cross-reference every listing against cadastral surveys, field reports, and Land Revenue Office master ledgers — before it is published.
The Problem
Why Nepal Needs a Land Archive
Land transactions in Nepal have long been plagued by title disputes — overlapping claims, unregistered inheritance transfers, fictitious plots, and missing cadastral records. For buyers, the risk of investing in contested land is devastating: legal battles that drag on for years, frozen assets, and at worst, complete loss of capital.
Existing registries are fragmented across 77 district Land Revenue Offices, making it nearly impossible to verify a property's full history without months of manual research. Lekhaprati was founded to solve this asymmetry — by creating a single trusted archive that any buyer, investor, or agent can rely on.
The Solution
Every Plot, Verified Before It's Listed
- Cross-reference Lalpurja against Land Revenue Office master ledger
- Physical boundary measurement matched against official Naksha
- Clearance of inheritance disputes, banking liens, and Guthi encroachments
- Field-verified by certified surveyors with drone documentation
- Published into the public-trust archive with a unique Archival ID
Our Principles
The Values That Guide the Archive
Four principles define every decision we make — from how we verify a plot to how we publish our findings.
Archival Rigour
Every document checked against the source. We accept nothing less than the master record from the Land Revenue Office — no photocopies, no hearsay.
Physical Presence
We go to the plot. Our surveyors measure boundaries, verify road access, and document the site with drone footage before any listing is approved.
Legal Transparency
Disputes are flagged, not hidden. Whether an inheritance conflict, a banking lien, or a Guthi trust encroachment, we surface it before the buyer commits.
Institutional Trust
We operate as a public-trust archive. Every verified plot is indexed with a permanent Archival ID and published for anyone to reference.
