Dear Friends,

There is a big game of dealers nowadays. I had plot my plot in 9 Town. I requested a dealer "Property World" to sale. He told me that one buyer offered 53 lac. No more offer than that in the market. I accepted. Token and Biyana given to me. At transfer day, i was shocked that one old man is getting transferred from at 54.60 lac. So the difference amount 1.60 lac plus 53 thousand commission goes to dealer. He earned 2.13 lac in 2 days against my investment.

DHA should take notice of such registered dealers. They are playing with people and DHA.

dubai replied on Friday, April 29, 2016 03:41 PM PST 

this is a normal practice. you should not take it on heart. if yu got the price yu agreed upon then its ok. try and deal with LRE. they are good in this regard. i have personal experience with them. but if the plot is not direct then even LRE cant do anything about the other dealer. yu just concentrate on getting a fair price and dont think too much how much other people made out of yur deal if yu want to survive in this business

MJN replied on Friday, April 29, 2016 03:59 PM PST 

Very normal in DHA.Keep your heart safe.

+ replied on Friday, April 29, 2016 04:24 PM PST 

Not all deals are identical
There might be deals which will be lower than ur deal

Jameel Mughal® replied on Friday, April 29, 2016 04:36 PM PST 

This is usual practice and and 90% deals are dealt like this. The Only thing margin should have been less like 50 to 60K etc. My favorite dealer is also keeping about 50K Margin hiding from me.

Flex01® replied on Friday, April 29, 2016 05:47 PM PST 

Unfortunately, very common..

I learned that one should be happy if he gets the price he has agreed to sell, once u have made up your mind.

Most of the dealers keep sell slightly above the price, which they have informed u

9 Town replied on Friday, April 29, 2016 07:38 PM PST 

Friends,

I understand but this can be controlled, if any DHA counter took control of handing/taking over payment. This can be managed if general practice. As DHA has big volume of transactions, imagine what these dealer groups doing.

Chaudry replied on Friday, April 29, 2016 09:33 PM PST 

Try to meet the seller face to face n decide the price

haadi replied on Saturday, April 30, 2016 12:14 AM PST 

9 town bhai ye zameen sirf mehngi dealer and investor ki waja sy ho ri ha..you are lucky to get 53 .agr trading na ho to actual price of your plot is just 30 lakh

Advise replied on Saturday, April 30, 2016 02:36 AM PST 

I think rather than calling it Tooka it should be called DHOKA and FARAIB. I beleive the dealers have the legitmate right to get their commision and only commission rest evey thing is corruption and dacoity. Dealers involved in this practice should be ashamed of this shameful and corrupt act.

Reborn® replied on Saturday, April 30, 2016 06:40 AM PST 

Give it any name. To me it is a total fraud.
My land. My money. ONLY Commission belongs to dealers.

First of all could u please keep away your political affiliation from this forum. It's not a political forum, secondly u will get a chance in 2018 to kick them out,so be patient, success of democracy needs patient, don't try to create anarchy. BE CIVILIZED and behave like a CIVILIZED country, there r more thugs in Indian assemblies than Pakistan, but they don't look other options, that's why they have respect in whole world.

Annonymous replied on Friday, April 29, 2016 07:03 PM PST 

Agreed with Ah.

Also firstly Tax is for non-filers only
secondly...I would like to question the logic that our rulers or elite is keeping their money abroad or not paying taxes so why shud I pay taxes???? did our brothers living abroad start eating Pig because all the europe or USA is eating it??? or start drinking alcolhol bcoz their elite n rulers do???? Paying taxes isn't a favour towards govt. it is our moral n legal duty

DHA phase 9 price direction

will experts or people with recent slae and puchase will discuss with is price direction, of an avergae plot in Prism,

Few days back my friend got estimate of a Plot which is On back on Main 1500 feet road Corner in Upper cutting F Block near school and estimate of 70 was given, If that is true then price has reversed, As such a plot was about 75 to 76 lac 2 months back

Zain replied on Tuesday, April 26, 2016 01:00 AM PST 

O bhai i'm unable to lock a reasoable deal in prism in upper blocks for the last 2 weeks as every time sellers run away once i meet their demand and you saying prices reversed??

Jk replied on Tuesday, April 26, 2016 01:00 AM PST 

Currently people consider Prism as liability with all the ongoing development charges. True Price will be determined after all dues will be clear in near future.

HassanHC® replied on Tuesday, April 26, 2016 01:11 AM PST 

could be near to or almost at boundary and facing big high school, otherwise till date prices holding firm or improving as I am on tour in pak and met many dealers.

Zain Daniyal replied on Tuesday, April 26, 2016 01:56 AM PST 

Dear Sir,

Is there any confirm 8marla on ground plot in Bahria Orchard's H or J blocks. I am crazy to purchase at any cost. UPN team, kindly let me know if any availability in your inventory.

Thanks much.

Kureshi® replied on Tuesday, April 26, 2016 02:58 AM PST 

The one I bought in F block 8 months ago has shown appreciation of 28 lac.

For Good location plots there is no reversal as yet.

For Orchard , C and D block are the hottest. Truly they have gained 20 lac in last 3 months.H and J are also good but C block is the best.

MNQ replied on Tuesday, April 26, 2016 03:54 AM PST 

there is no increase in prism as rates on LRE are same a last 4 months, same list of plots unable to sell

MNQ replied on Tuesday, April 26, 2016 04:01 AM PST 

simplest of person can see the writing on the wall

more supply means less price leading to bubble bust of prism

MNQ replied on Tuesday, April 26, 2016 04:08 AM PST 

Good news is that overpricing of Prism is driving the Ph7 prices up every day...thankyou prism investors

how on ground possession plots of Ph7 can be equal to 15 years prism plots

Answer this replied on Tuesday, April 26, 2016 04:52 AM PST 

Answer one question why for all these years phase 8 increased more then 7 even IVY increased more then 7 even prism increased more then 7. Why only 7 looks left out why

Why DHA PHASE 8 which has no possession avg is 2 crore
Vs
DHA PHASE 7 with possession but near brb is 1 crore

That prices possession not only imp thing.

Jk replied on Tuesday, April 26, 2016 08:05 AM PST 

Sir you will see just in matter of max 2 years phase 7 plots will cross 2 corors. There is lot going on in 7 including knowledge park, kidney center and many other project. Every one takes about brb canal which really could be weekend hang out activity far much better than drain followed across the prism everywhere you go. Phase 7 is the best investment at present

Tahir Lutfi replied on Tuesday, April 26, 2016 10:44 AM PST 

@ MNQ I purchased 5 marla good / above avg location @ 27 lac in J block near 318 two months back
Now I am unable to buy another @ 33
The same increase is in R block
Ppl have made millions not only from prism but from many others schemes
U plz continue counting and be happy in ur paradise

Answer this JK replied on Tuesday, April 26, 2016 11:30 AM PST 

JK I knew you will run away and will have no logical answer. Don't talk of future 2 years and making castles in air
Simple q I asked

Why only PHASE 7 has lost to all new sectors

PHASE 8 launched after phase 7 but more price them 7
IVY launched after phase 7 but already prices bearing phase 7 when just boundary done


Look I have not even mentioned PRISM yet.

Do you think ppl some how always forget 7. Reason is market knows every thing.

Jk replied on Tuesday, April 26, 2016 11:43 AM PST 

Okay now please listen to my answer to your question which is logical and based on facts just not emotional love with Prism. Phase 8 better location and closer to airport than phase 7 which is why phase 8 is better than phase 7 otherwise phase does not have oil or gas mines. So this answer to one of your question. Phase 7 is a phase where people buy to build or plan to build house. They do realize that it is hardly 5 mins drive from phase 6 and 8 so they prefer it. Reason phase 7 prices are not over inflated because it is not hijacked by foreign investor from Dubai and locals. Sir with all do respect do you know that phase 9 prism prices are just artificially raised by investors especially from UAE where property value significantly declined and they end investing in Prism. How do I know bec data based on Dha office. Your third question. Prism will never be more than phase 7. Just wait 2 years when phase 7 plots will be much over 2 corors and prism prices will almost be same as today's price with all dues clear. It happened in phase 6 phase 5 as well and trust me prism is no different. It is simply a project which our kids or grand kids will see fully developed.

alia replied on Tuesday, April 26, 2016 12:37 PM PST 

Can't agree more with jk,lots going on in phase 7 in next two years, slow and steady will win the race inshAllah.no one has missed the prism train it will stop on many stations in the next few years inshALLAH

Khan Baba replied on Tuesday, April 26, 2016 12:44 PM PST 

JK has the some solid point about Phase 7 but Prism will go high too.

MNQ replied on Tuesday, April 26, 2016 12:58 PM PST 

@JK best logical explanation on Ph7, ppl price of ph7 already in 1.5 range in 3 blocks where houses are being constructed and 1.2 in adjacent blocks, it is at the stage where ph6 was 6 years ago, if Prism train is so fast why hasn't it appreciated after so called wall. DHA9 town prices are stuck even after possession. ph7 is adjacent to ph6 and nearer vs prisim goes down the drain of ruhi naullah, hudaria drain and stench of tannery factories, vs ph 7 near to a canal soon people when visit in hot weather the prism will smell the difference

M Zahid® replied on Tuesday, April 26, 2016 01:06 PM PST 

Habib,

I bought two plots in last few months and can tell you my experience is that there are not many clear plots less than 80 in the market.To prove my point i would insight that prism file price is on the increase and you will see a jump of 10 lac from current price in couple of month. For my last purchase i paid about 8 lac more than the asking price. I endorse Zain's point of few that as soon as you meet the demand then seller runs away and start asking more.
Here people start to curse prism who have missed the train that possession will be delivered in 15 years or 20. Those who are investors not home makers are not bother about when passion is delivered till work is started and progressing on good pace. Few things have changed in DHA over a decade when Phase seven was launched. DHA town planned and delivered, Phase 8 balloted in March 2012 and progressing with good pace. Ivey green is in progress and will not take 10 years like Phase 7. Market correction can happen along the path of delivery but with so many good things of Prism, it stands out of other Lahore projects, slump will not hit badly to it.

Answer this replied on Tuesday, April 26, 2016 01:15 PM PST 

JK lol after 10 years of phase 7 if you feel it will compete with PHASE 8 or IVY or PRISM don't you feel as investors you have made bad decisions.


Still not too late switch so you will feel less angry towards other happening phase.

Ok one other stat last 5 years all sectors land fed and there prices have best phase 7

DHA PHASE 8 beat 7 avg price 2 crore
DHA EME beat 7 avg price 2 crore
DHA IVY beat 7 avg price 1 crore plus just launched last year
DHA RAHBAR beat 7 avg price 1.75 crore launched 5 years ago


no mention of PRISM yet 7 looks lower as a investment. Why because investors know where the action is. Now stop being complacent and sell and switch.

Szaidi® replied on Tuesday, April 26, 2016 05:19 PM PST 

All phases of DHA LHR has given good return. When phase 7 was launched average price of file was 25 and now kanal plot price is 125. It means a gain of 500%. Who says it is a bad gain. Now obviously phase 9 is focus for investors and will make money with the passage of time. For people who want to build house in next 3-4 years phase 7 is a good choice for them because they cant do this in prism. But for investors who are not looking to build house in near future for them prism is an ideal place to multiply their investment.

Jk replied on Tuesday, April 26, 2016 09:46 PM PST 

Okay Sir I will explain again. First I never said Phase 7 will beat phase 8. Phase 8 is pricy because it is closer to the airport etc as compared to phase 7 so you are paying a premium for the location not bec Phase 8 has gold mines. Secondly You talk about IVY. Please check the statistic data and prices again. IVY prices are not more than phase 7 but comparable to it. Reason? Because both of them have same comparable and distance from the airport. Now lets talk about EME and Rahbar. If you are a true lahorie than you should know why people choose to live in that location. Most of the people who live there I will say 75 percent of them living in Rahbar, EME area are NON-Lahorie who always dream of having a house in Lahore as well. They don't want to live in proper defense because they want it close to motor way. And the remaining folks are Tajarat community. Mechanisim of the market on that side of Lahore is very different than remaining Lahore. You are not comparing apples to apples. Now the third thing and I will like to make it clear. I never said Prism is bad project. All I am saying that Prism is very long term project 15- 20 years. AND Prism prices can never cross Phase 7 once dust settle down with all the on going charges in Prism. It is way overpriced and I do understand phase 7 might be under performing currently but in next 2-3 years prices will go up significantly high. Why. New shopping complex/apartments, Kidney center, Knowledge park, 5 mins away from phase 6 and 8 and 12 mins from the airport and lastly Phase 7 is a reality no future promises in maps which will take 20 years to come true.

Jk replied on Tuesday, April 26, 2016 09:59 PM PST 

Sir I will also like to share that I have investment in Prism. Like I mentioned earlier I bought prism kanal files when they were 22 lacs each so it does not matter to me but I will NEVER spent 80 lacs or currently get in into Prism market right now at these prices. May be two years later when all dues are clear. Point is Prism has been very kind to me but that does not change the facts.

Tala replied on Tuesday, April 26, 2016 10:58 PM PST 

To all prism lovers Dha 7 is worst of the worst investments. If that makes you happy

Jk replied on Tuesday, April 26, 2016 11:22 PM PST 

Here is the answer Sir - These are not excuses but FACTS . Not just mine but everyone opinion who is not emotional about Prism. I could say the same about Prism that Prism is not our kid either. Sir like I mentioned I already have investments in Prism and Phase 7. You are telling someone that I am not a good investor who bought Prism kanal file for 22 lacs and Phase 7 file for 26 lacs. Please re think Sir. If you are going to have a conversation based on logic and facts I can continue this discussion but if you are just un realistic talk about long term 15 years paper plan than I cant help. I answered to every single scenario you asked in your previous email and you asked me the very same questions again. I suggest you read my previous mail again. Sir IVY is a project which is almost neglected by people and DHA is doing everything they could to promote it because of its poor location. Sir you cant compare Rahbar/EME side of Lahore with Prim or 7. I explained that as well. You think Prim is going to cross Phase 7 prices I cant argue but I will never invest in Prism "Fairly tale" project at these prices or even recommend anyone.

answer this replied on Tuesday, April 26, 2016 11:49 PM PST 

ok you are in denial mode so please never sell 7 plot and wait for there time to shine like for last 10 years you have been doing.

In the mean time thank you for your free advise but no thanks.

Iftikhar Afzal replied on Wednesday, April 27, 2016 12:17 AM PST 

@ JK Please sell ur plots in prism and do invest that amount in ph 7. Surely u will be benefited more. Carry on with good job & do not waste ur time and money in a 15/20 years long term paper plan. Good wishes for the best investment in coming days.

Jk replied on Wednesday, April 27, 2016 12:43 AM PST 

Sir My Prism kanal plot is already in the market and I plan to buy inshallah another plot in phase 7. I am not in a denial mode but in "lets face the reality" mode. Through out my conversation I never said Prism is a bad project. All I said it is good investment for our next generation when Lahore will be so congested in 15-20 years people will not even mind living next to the drain.

Jk replied on Wednesday, April 27, 2016 12:56 AM PST 

Respectfully "answer this" you seriously remind of my ex-wife.

Chaudry replied on Wednesday, April 27, 2016 03:33 AM PST

Jk replied on Wednesday, April 27, 2016 03:45 AM PST 

lol. Chaudry Bhai you are a smart man you know already..Now you know why I don't like Prism. Just lots of on going high development charges with lots of future promises and future is not clear at all.

Reborn® replied on Wednesday, April 27, 2016 05:14 AM PST 

Been to ivy few months back. JK is right, location is not good at all.

Jk replied on Wednesday, April 27, 2016 05:43 AM PST 

thanks Reborn. I went to see IVY all the way from New York. Location is horrible. All you see is just one sign on IVY green with no roads. Infact you cant even take your car and one of my dear friend was debating with me earlier that prism will be developed in 4 years.

Hi All

I have indirect query here. I have savings of around 4 Crore as I worked in GCC for 15 years.

Due to family issues parents alone and one more liability back home want to settle in Lahore.

I am an HVAC Sales professional mech engr. so situation of job not very promising in Lhr in my field.

Please advise for 3 primary school{beaconhouse} kids mediocre living in 10 marla rental house ...how much monthly expense required.

I am not party person and go out dining once month and main hobbies are books - charity -

I do not intend to do job just roll my savings in plots 25% and 50% put in savings certificates and balance 25% purchase 10 marla house for rental yield.

Is PKR 1 Lac enough for my expenses.

Thank you

omer replied on Sunday, June 28, 2015 05:56 AM PST 

@KSA ,I HAVE THE SAME PLANS TO MOVE TO LAHORE WITH SIMILLAR INTENTIONS .I DONT HAVE KIDS AND MY BUDGET IS 1 LAKH .IN UR CASE I WOULD SUGGEST ATLEAST 2 LAKH MORE OR LESS.

Amir Khan replied on Sunday, June 28, 2015 01:50 PM PST 

@ KSA,

My humble opinion is that you should not just live off your savings but employ yourself usefully as well. With your background you could find a job, or worse open up a small workshop to ply your trade. You could gainfully use the knowledge and experience gained over the years at your job and earn a decent living. You could buy a house for 1 crore instead of rental. It would save you rental charges. With kids school, utilities, groceries, fuel and some entertainment I would say a budget close to Rs. 150,000/- would be a minimum requirement. You could squeeze some things but in Pakistan you never know what may crop up. Wish you all the best in your endeavours. Lastly have faith in Allah, as HE knows what is best.

SK replied on Sunday, June 28, 2015 02:18 PM PST 

I moved back from US last year and living in DHA Islamabad. If you own a house and a car, 200,000/month is good for decent living. Three kids going school, utilities, grocery, gas and dinner out twice a month.

Amar replied on Sunday, June 28, 2015 07:08 PM PST 

Saiam or Saima gave a very close breakdown.

I think 1.5 lakh is adequate with own house. If rented, then close to 2 lakh.

Wasim Akhtar : replied on Sunday, June 28, 2015 09:36 PM PST 

Dear Brother KSA

Last month I was back from Dammam after a Looong time passing in Saudi Arabia. I have my own 10 Marla house in Lahore ( not in DHA ), living average simple life. I found 1.5 to 1.6 lacs are enough to run a family of 5 ( three children which are going in good schools like Beaconhouse ). I was also Engineer there in one of the big Power Utility Company.
However, you may face severe problems in establishing your business. My sincere advice to you, be there if possible.
For further information you may e-mail to me on

Dear Mr. @CMY and Mr.@Jameel. Regards. I wish to have your advice in my property purchasing decision. I have limited funds and will be investing all I have plus a large bank loan to purchase a house in DHA lahore. My budget is for:

1) purchasing a slightly used 5 marla house in phases 3-5 ( i don't prefer phase 6 as it is still not developed)
2) A 15-20 years old 10 marla house in dha phase 1 or 2 Lahore.

I obviously prefer a 10 Marla house due to its size, but it will be quite old, but renovated.I wanted to know what are the disadvantages of purchasing an old house including re-selling prospects as might want to resell it 5 years down the road.

Looking forward to your advice

Thanks a lot Rasheed Sahib for trying to make things clear. We are highly confused people and our statements are generally self contradictory. We live in capitalistic economy and want to avoid Sood.
What a dilemma?
It is not to start a discussion but to appreciate your clarity of thought brother.

imran replied on Friday, June 26, 2015 03:15 AM PST 

mortgages, car leases, mobile contracts, bank profit whether islamic ( most of the cases)or conventional are all sood and haram in islam, lets not leave any doubt about it.. if all people are using it intentionally or unintentionally should leave it.. credit cards if payment is made on time then bank doesnt charge any interest,, in that case its halal and only keep one if yu can clear payments on time... since living in capitalist economy, its difficult to avoid completely, one should try to avoid as much as possible.. like open only one islamic account and keep only minimum required amount and invest the savings in property or islamic mutual funds...no disrespect to anyone.. the intent is just to try and lead our lives according to Quran and sunnah as much as possible... JazakAllah

jameel replied on Friday, June 26, 2015 03:31 AM PST 

Phase 5 slightly used house will be in one cror
5 merla in Dha 3 and 4 , old 5 to 10 years will be about 80 to 85 lac
10 merla old housein phase 1 and 2, 15 to 20 years old good condition will be 110 to 140
To buy a house no matter old or new needs an experert opinion,
If you see any maitininance issues it is also needs expert opinio.
In old houses most of issues can be solved easily except low level and watercseepage from upper baths and kitchen better aviod them
All above 3 are good options
New houses also have many matnance issues within 2 years especially thekedar buit

Thank you @Jameel sb. Are the rates mentioned in your response as per the market since the market rates are at least 15 lac above what you have mentioned.
PPl are demanding 12.5 Million for 5 marla used in dha 4,5,6 and deals are done at 115.
Need to check that i'll not be spending more than the market rate.

Brother, if the house is not older than 3-5 years and is very well constructed then its value is not more than 75 lacs.

Please don't mind.

@bajwa bhai i dont mind... But it is semi commercial.. If u want to purchase please quote ur offer...

Bajwa replied on Thursday, June 11, 2015 05:19 PM PST 

Dear

If it is Semi commercial then it will have even lower market value. Families prefer to stay in full residential houses. Even if the house is facing commercial markets are lower market value.

Malik G replied on Friday, June 5, 2015 05:39 AM PST 

Jameel sb , Block B Sb and Ahsan Sb. Please comment about the options which should i take to get a rental income of upto 50 K

Malik G replied on Friday, June 5, 2015 05:40 AM PST 

I want to stick to Only DHA area, Please reply to my post

Jameel replied on Friday, June 5, 2015 05:55 AM PST 

Rents in DHA are not great Focus on small Houses Near Jinnah Hospital, Johar Town 5 Merla which can be converted in 2 Portions can give you Min 35 to 40 K rent You can buy such House in 75, same is True for Faisal town D Block
BOR near Jinnah 3.5 Merla old houses can be Found in 50 Lac a rent of 35 K can be yielded. This is best Value to rent Ratio.
DHA houses mainly grow in Value but not great rents. But you may try 5 merla House in W and Z Block Phase 3, and GG and JJ Block phase 4 in Price of 80 to 100 Lac, same rent as that of Johar town or a bit less is expected
For rent is always advisable to to buy old solid houses with simple structure If you buy a new House in 2 Cror after one year of renting it loses 50 lac [ 25% of value], Never Build a new house for rent.

Malik G replied on Friday, June 5, 2015 11:10 AM PST 

Thanks Jameel Sb for your Guidelines. Is their any chances of Qabza in Johar town area or BOR area because this is my only Saving in Life. I want to Invest in DHA because there is no chances of Qazba mafia as i want to come back in Saudi after 2-3 years againg.

Block B replied on Friday, June 5, 2015 11:26 AM PST 

Having good Tennant is another science :)
People ruin your house or do not give rents in time. I will prefer a commercial plot for rentals if your pocket allows . With property tax rising it is not very lucrative to rent your house.

Malik G replied on Friday, June 5, 2015 11:49 AM PST 

Thanks Block B. I am follower of few persons Like U , jameel Sb, CMY sb and Ahsan Sb. with Budget of Max 9 Million from where i can generate a fix Income up to 40 to 50 K?or what are the best possible commercial property which i can have in this budget?

Malik G replied on Friday, June 5, 2015 01:10 PM PST 

Ahsan Bhai..
Thank you very much for your kind post. can u tell me is there any chances of qabza in these areas which u mentioned because i have to come back in saudi and can not afford problems after i come back in saudi.

Jameel replied on Friday, June 5, 2015 02:12 PM PST 

I under stand why you are preferring DHA but keep in mind
There can be issues of renting
Most common are rent not paid in time, electric bills not cleared or refused to vacate house in time. DHA does not safeguard you against these disputes.
On the other hand I never heard about Qbaza and tenant will say this house is mine and I have transferred by Fake Documents to me, never happened to my knowledge.it is Not possible in DHA or LDA area

Malik G replied on Friday, June 5, 2015 02:20 PM PST 

Thanks Ahsan and Jameel Bhai. IF LDA colonies are also safe from this kind of QABZA mafia then i will go for the LDA colonies like Johar town, Wapda Town and Allama iqbal town.Thank you very much for your kind support. Johar town is the best option for me. is there any of the case reported of Qabza in JOhar town?

sunny84 replied on Friday, June 5, 2015 02:33 PM PST 

Malik G, Why you want to waste your money? Dont you know what type of people we are in Pakistan? I wish you must invest in some plot and dont go for rent.....otherwise, after 5 years....the tenant would not leave your house and you would be in trouble.

Buy multiple plots and dont put all the eggs in one basket.

Malik G replied on Friday, June 5, 2015 03:00 PM PST 

@Sunny.
Yaar i am alos paying rent here for my flat. this amount i want to recover for some other source. IF i take your advise which areas i should prefer to buy a plot in Lahore where i can gain maximum in 2-3 years.Initailly i was thinking about DHA phase 9 but it is too long to hold for 7-8 years and in that time the construction cost will also become double.

Aslam replied on Friday, June 5, 2015 03:35 PM PST 

@Malik

LDA societies are full of qabza mafias. Go to Johar Town and listen the qabza stories there. You will be shocked. Stay in DHA, Bahria for time being. Sincere advice.

Malik G replied on Friday, June 5, 2015 03:40 PM PST 

Thanks Aslam Sb for your sincere advice. initially i am also thinking to buy in DHA only and i will stick to my decision.

Khalid Mehmood replied on Friday, June 5, 2015 06:00 PM PST 

Malik Bhai, please STAY AWAY from LDA & local societies. Almost all LDA & local society including LDA office are in full swings with qabza mafias & bogus papers work. its only TENSION
I personally has very bad experience in LDA in past, and loss heavy amount due to lack of experience.
If you wish to have running income chose Commercial property only. In residence property you have to ready for many problems.

Malik G replied on Friday, June 5, 2015 10:06 PM PST 

Thanks Khalid Sb. Can u tell me which property is better a registary property or LDA transfer Property

khalid Mehmood replied on Saturday, June 6, 2015 12:30 AM PST 

Registry with patwari farid intiqal with qabsa considered good. Stay away from pt1 registry.

MIT replied on Saturday, June 6, 2015 05:06 AM PST 

Since all sale/purchase transactions are pretty much copy of DHA these days at LDA's office chances of qabza mafia are almost diminished in Johar Town now. Mr. Jameel has said it well and viable.

sunny84 replied on Monday, June 8, 2015 07:54 PM PST 

Malik G, I treat plot as my babe, daily touch or qubaza is mandatory.....otherwise no trust in Pakistan....and zero trust if its in LDA or private land.

Go for society transfer plots....easy plot and go for reputable societies.
