Dear LRE members,

I am an overseas Pakistan and thinking of buying a house in Lahore in a gaited society. My budget is around 2 crore. I am considering the following societies to buy a house

1) Defence Raya
2) EME society
3) Bahria Town Sector B or C
4) State life Phase 1 (although not gaited but could get 15 marla in my budget)

Can you please advise in which society I should buy a house (10 marla or bigger). Can you also advise on any other society which I have not considered.

Dear Mr Farooq,

Bahia Town is a good option for residential purpose in your budget.

Thanks for the response. How do you compare Defence Raya with Bahria town. The houses are available in Defence Raya in my budget as well.

Flex01® replied on Tuesday, August 30, 2016 08:46 PM PST 

Defence Raya construction quality is very poor

Ashfaq® replied on Tuesday, August 30, 2016 09:24 PM PST 

DHA EME is best compared to Bahria due to its
location. No load-shedding in EME now.

Farooq replied on Tuesday, August 30, 2016 09:30 PM PST 

Ashfaq, What will be the cost of 10-15 marla house built between 5-10 year ago

Ashfaq® replied on Tuesday, August 30, 2016 09:51 PM PST 

I do not know exactly but I think minimum for 10 marla is Rs 2.25 crores as a plot with good
location is around Rs 1.75 crores.

eme does not hav underground wiring

Farooq replied on Wednesday, August 31, 2016 12:06 AM PST 

Flex01, You mentioned that construction quality is poor in Raya. I am a civil Engineer and have been involved in the design and construction of houses and plazas. Can you or anybody provide some details regarding construction quality in Raya.

User_12115® replied on Wednesday, August 31, 2016 04:34 AM PST 

construction quality of phase 1 in raya was very poor, but for phase 2 (10 marla houses and some 2/1 kanal houses) - the construction quality is better than Askari - although i would not rate it as grade A+ quality.
their structure is well built, but doors and leveling of plastered wall is of low quality. I've seen askari and behria houses where plaster starts falling due to higher sand ratio. Raya is way better than that.

MS replied on Wednesday, August 31, 2016 11:49 AM PST 

It is wise if you buy a Qanal land in State life in one Krore and spend the rest on construction.
Location wise State life is as good as D H A in less than half its cost otherwise If you prefer to commute one hour everyday back and forth then go for B Town.

Dealers will always suggest you whatever gives them more return rather than what actually is beneficial for you, in the end they will still say Choice is yours.

Farooq I dont know the kitty gritty of exact nature of poor construction of Defence Raya, but that is what every one says about it.

State lifer 1 is not a gated community. If u wana consider south side, then Bahria may be a good option, especially if ur family has lived outside Pakistan for a long time.

I have already requested for this information, pls advise.
can anyone pks let me know construction rates in Dha Lhr, is there any 15% service charges or less, this is % of labour or % of total cost, if yes then what are responsibilities of that contractor as this seems v high rate and if contractor visited site only for 5 time in3 months then is it possible to still claim that high rate

Habib replied on Wednesday, August 31, 2016 01:52 PM PST 

@ Nom Pls elaborate your question Looks you are being trapped by some "DHA approved architect" There are no 15% service Charges.

None of these things are heard to me at least
To Make Home there are simple steps, you need to
Contact Town Planning dept,
Take Possession
Get Plan approved By some registered Architect, there in Innumerable approved architects, and you need to find, barging with them. and Fix terms and conditions, The role of Architects are variable, It start for making plan, which should be @ nominal fees, and only required.
You may goto any level there is no limit and they will be charging extra Like Making Model, Getting help in Approval, Doing Connection work, Supervising Construction, Managing material some time managing all construction to Turn Key level getting Completion certificate.
Some Reputed Architect may ask you we don't deal with only making plan [Charging 15K] but Our Package is 300K Includes these extra items others may say and we Charge 15% of Labor or even all Construction cost. This Upto you How Much you want to do yourself and how much you want from them there is no bindings from DHA.
I have personal experience in dealing in DHA Offices they are very helpful and not creating hurdles If you abide by Laws.
If You are overseas and cant spare one day even then I will advise you to buy a built House, It may not be as per your specifications. I am sure when you make house you will point 100 Faults within one months and others will point another 1000 Faults when you sell.

Mr. Habib what about suigas phase-2 , howz that investment for one year, thanks

Ibi replied on Tuesday, August 30, 2016 02:57 PM PST 

IEP sec A main access road is under construction now a days from
Valencia main road upto iep main 150 . It was a missing patch and now a days work is on full swing by LDA and will be completed in a Month . I think this will help IEP alot

Habib replied on Tuesday, August 30, 2016 03:40 PM PST 

I think DHA Rahber Commercial will be under pressure 1,2 Years. Further fall may stop but appreciation chances are dismal.
IEP did not get that extreme Hype and possible that it will slowly gain, But as Buyers have disappeared somewhere so only True Home Makers may be interested, IEP will have Little or No Correction but again price appreciation in 1,2 Years will be less Likely No Matter what happens.

Actually insider like CMY can guide better, He gets the Feed Back from real deals if at all happening these days, I am already seeing some revision in demands especially in Phase 8, Thanks God Prism Kanal Market demands are stable. However Transections are Zero. Smaller Plots demands have decreased by 15%. { In spite of the fact that these were minimally affected by Taxation and FBR Issue]
All depends what major stake holders take Position if they will sell then Cash is expected.
People who are not long term holders should track the demands of other similar properties and get assessment. Long term holders Like 5 to 7 years Plus Need Not to worry
