i am looking for 1-2 kanal plots in bahria sector A and sukh chayn gardens.
is emerging is possible in sukh chayn and in bahria for 2 plots of 1 kanal each but construction of one house ( on 2 plots.).pl.coment. :h

AG replied on Thursday, January 26, 2012 04:11 AM PST

For a single house on 2 Kanal (900 Sq. ft.) area a 2 Kanal plot (75x120 ft) is the right choice because 2 Kanal plots area is considered more posh with better facilities. Further you always get better design on a 75x120 ft plot than a 100x90 ft plot. Longer front is rather a disadvantage due to shoorter depth.

Regards.

Amjad replied on Thursday, January 26, 2012 05:15 PM PST

Does bylaws of these societies allow constructing one house in two adjasent plots of one Kanal? Duplex is acceptable but not clear about one unique design about 100 front. I also have same case in same area. so, if Mr. AG could advise!

AG replied on Thursday, January 26, 2012 09:08 PM PST

Bahria Bylaws do allow combination of plots. They do not allow division of plots for resale i.e you can not sell a plot in parts to different persons. Here in UAE almost squre plots are used for duplix houses. there are usually four houses in one block with one staircase in the middle. A 5 ft passage is left on both sides.
Ground floor houses may have their entrance from the stair case or their court yards.

Dear Mods, This is off topic but please leave it here for some time since I need this information badly.
I am presently based in middle east with family. I am planning to move my family back to Lahore next year. I do not intend to get their visas cancelled. I need to send my household items (furniture, some electronics etc) to Lahore with my family. I understand that I cannot use TR (Transfer of Residence) in this case since I am not getting the visas cancelled. Can somebody let me know of a good clearing agent who can help me out to get the above items cleared from customs at Lahore airport. What will be the procedure. How much duty do I have to pay on furniture. I am staying here for about ten years. Do I get any free allowance. Any feedback shall be appreciated.
Thanks

Get you remitance card from pakistan embassy in your country. This way you will get relaxation on custom duty upto 100,000 (depending upon your remited amount)

Abu Dhabi replied on Tuesday, October 4, 2011 01:54 PM PST

Book a container it will cost you about 15000 AED aprox,
Or
Go for KG plan it will cost you about 2 to 4 AED per KG.

In UAE there are lot of agents which deal you with cleared costom or you have to do clear custom, depending on the price.

I come to know through my friends that Remitance Card is useless, At Airports of Pakistan They will treat you like you are nota human if you show that card. First question they will ask you where is official letter that you will get duty free, Your answer will be that i got is through OPF right, But they will reply okay we are not OPF we need acceptance from their departmant. (this all is which i come to know through my friends if some one having good experience please share with me and others).

I sent LCL a few years ago from bahrain. The stuff goes to Karachi, gets loaded on a freight train to Lahore, gets to the dry port in lahore. You do not need an agent in pakistan, you have to book your goods through a freight forwarder / mover in the UAE. Make sure to get all the papers including the BL from the shipper alongwith full contact details of their agent in karachi and lahore. Once the goods get to lahore (and it is a very slow process), the agent will call you and advise you of the total custom duty in case you decide not to pay a bribe (which will be twice the cost of your stuff) or whatever you owe if you decide to bribe the custom officials. Unfortunately, if you decide not to bribe, you will regret your decision to send your stuff to pakistan, this is how our sweet country works. I would personally recommend you to reconsider as it is not worth it. And you can forget about the embassy custom relaxation exercise, nobody cares about this documentation in pakistan customs. This is my personal experience.

khalid hassan syed replied on Tuesday, October 4, 2011 04:57 PM PST

Dear Asif sb,The best way what i know is to book your goods through freight forward as recomended by adnan bhai.They will charge you lumsum (2.5 to 3.5 dhs/kg) including custom duty and deliver at your home in pakistan.you can get the adress at advertising page of any urdu newspaper circulating in uae like Awaz,Mashriq etc.

Almost all electronics are cheaper here in pakistan. Further, it is hard to get proper warranty coverage on things bought abroad, despite intl warranties. Please keep that in mind when planning your move.

Muhammad Afzal Khan replied on Tuesday, October 4, 2011 07:17 PM PST

AOA,
I'm retired Deputy Suprintendent from Pakistan Customs Lahore. I have read your problem. Please contact me at my email i.e and do send me inventory of all of your house goods(electric appliances inventory should be separated) after then I'll be able to guide you properly. So you don't need to worry at all. If you would contact any agent he would puzzle you because they are ignorant as they don't know any custom rules. As they lack knowledge they make the matter more complex and complicated. And also tell me the date of your last visit to Pakistan. Did you mr & mrs visit Pak in same dates? You don't need to worry at all. I'm there to help you.

Dear Asif

Please takecare before giving all personal info. also note that Afzal type people are like the agent of the agents.

SAM UAE replied on Wednesday, October 5, 2011 11:33 AM PST

Afzal Sahib, AoA

Your offer is to help/guide or is it your business and you expect some compensation? How does it work?

Regards,

KAR replied on Thursday, October 6, 2011 03:29 PM PST

You wont be able to get TR benefit if you don’t cancel the visas. Pakistani Consulate (at least in Dubai) has stopped issuing TRs from 2010 except for Cars. All you need is to show is your cancelled visas in Pakistan at Customs to avail TR benefits which frankly is not worth the effort (my personal experience). Again as somebody said earlier, it is not worth shifting anything to Pakistan as everything is available in Pakistan, cheaper and better. Keep minimum AED 15K as your budget for everything including duty. Shift only if you think your stuff is worth more than that. But at the same time expensive/new stuff will increase the duty accordingly.

Dear CMY sb,
pl.elaborate.
some one told me buying 2 plots (pair of plots 1k each) is better instead of haveing a one plot of 2 kanal to avoid some sort of taxes and /etc.what u say.?thanks

CMY replied on Thursday, June 23, 2011 03:21 PM PST

What phase are we talking about ?

AG replied on Thursday, June 23, 2011 07:23 PM PST

@Khalid Hassan Syed.

In future, most probably, property tax will be based on the plot size & total floor area. Further if more than one houses are owned by one person mode of taxation will cause higher amount of tax to be paid. So, I think, it is better to buy a pair of plots but on the name of two different persons eg two brothers or father & son.

Keeping in view the fact that Pakistan is a seriously energy deficient country it is need of the day that we now go for well designed, energy efficient, small comfertable houses keeping in view our family size.

To compensate for courtyard or green area within the house the developers should ensure good sized, well planned parks/green area are provided in each scheme.

Bahria Town Lahore & Rawalpindi can be cited as good examples.

Kind Regards.

CMY replied on Thursday, June 23, 2011 07:32 PM PST

In most societies if 1 kanal plots are owned in different name you cant merge them and make a house on 2 kanal.

I think its better to buy a 2 kanal plot to avoid some furture troubles in tax etc. For now if you buy 1 kanal plots pair it costs lot less than 2 kanal but disadvantage is a a kanal pair plot will have 1 kanal plot on its sides but a 2 kanal plot will have 2 kanal plots n its sided. People who buy large plots are very picky about this point. They want to live next to rich person like them. For them 10 marla plot owners are not as good as 2 kanal plot owners :). This is reality we face each day.

@Usman Butt.

I pray to Allah (SWT) to fulfill your desire of a large house in the suburbs of Lahore. My friend try to be realistic. I did not mean what you have said. Try to find time to have a look on the 8 marla plots of Ali Block of Bahria Town Lahore in the vicinity of plot no. 200 so that you will understand what I mean.
I also second your proposal for the government to take steps to discourage migration from rural to urban areas. But govt resources are not unlimited.
Let us be honest to ourself. Let us ask ourself at the end of everday "What did I do today? Was it right?
