DHA Islamabad ( DHAI )

I personally visited DHA Islamabad office on Friday & Met Town Planing Manager Mr. Kaisar Ghulam Farooqi. I will elaborate the the conversation briefly.
1. Now DHA Valley consist of 4 Sectors only ( Overseas Blocks ,Lily,Orleandar & DHA Homes.
2. Possesion will start by April 2013.Although the Homes are ready .But still they are laying Basic supplies as Power,Water ,Drainage.Lighting,on-going Road Network & Asphalt works.
3. He said we do not want people to get Panic because of Cancellation of Plots due to construction of Dhadhocha Dam therefore till launch of Phase-111 we will not to announce the cancellation officially.
4. All the Cancelled Valley allot-es will be awarded in DHA-111. provided they will pay the difference of 650,000 for 8 Marla Plots & 400,000 for 5 Marla Plots as additional Development charges.
5. The expected announcement of DHA Phase -111 is after handover of DHA-Homes in order to re-gain trust & popularity among investors.
6. The Tentative time frame for development of Phase 111 is 5 years from 2013 i.e 2018 expected Handover.
7. DHA Phase 111 will be located at Peshawar road.
Lastly he asked me where my plot is located. when i told that i am in Overseas Block ; He said you are lucky . It is very safe & upon Handover definitely price will appreciate to double as Now dha valley small project as compared to earlier announced.

Thank you, Zafar Wahidi the info you have shared is much appreciated.

ZNS replied on Monday, August 27, 2012 07:52 AM PST 

Peshawar road? I thought Phase-3 is behind Zaraj and Jeddah town and touches Bahria phase-8 and DHAI-1 ext? There is no land on Peshawar road until you are near taxila. More information will be helpful.

ZNS replied on Monday, August 27, 2012 08:41 AM PST 

And phase-3 delivery by 2018, impossible. There is no way they could delivery, it's more of 2025. Look at commoners block, look at DHA-1 & 2 extensions, even if they deliver these three b 2018 it will be a miracle :) or save ph-3 for children of your grand children.

I have 1 kanal in xcommoners and wheni bought in 2006 i was told that DHA (acquired that in 2006) will give in 3 yrs nd now it's 2012 and i still don't see possession for another 3-5 yrs :) dollar was at 60 and now it's 95. Not appreciated a penny so total loss of money. I wish I had invested in Lahore where returns are phenomenal.

Sleepless replied on Monday, August 27, 2012 01:01 PM PST 

What will happen to the people who are no longer will to trust DHA Islamabad with their money? Is there any refund plan...

Sleepy guy replied on Monday, August 27, 2012 01:30 PM PST 

I hope things become better and the delivery of DHA homes is done at least in 2013 end and the Overseas block in 2014 mid or end. that seems to be possible if i try to remain positive, Have you asked the price of the DHA homes and Overseas plots , the news about DHAI has made it difficult to decide for the price of the plots.

Tanweer replied on Monday, August 27, 2012 01:51 PM PST 

Dear Azfar Wahidi, Many thanks for sharing the latest info with us. I have just one query : If a cancelled plot owner does not wish to pay additional dev charges; will he be entitled to a full refund of paid installments?

Tanweer - Kuwait replied on Monday, August 27, 2012 02:44 PM PST 

Good Information.
Will the allotment of all other blocks be cancelled i.e., Rose etc.
If they cancell the allotement, what about the refund? Kindly highligt.

mehmood ali replied on Monday, August 27, 2012 02:51 PM PST 

Dear Mr Azfar wahidi

I contacted Brigadier I charge of dha Islamabad and found out that you have put across lies for some personal gains in the project which is not a correct thing to do. All blocks are intact and the four blocks u highlighted have undergone massive development otherwise there is no cancellation of any blocks. I would recommend all others to contact dhai directly to get the latest updates in order to avoid rumours like the one being spread by Mr azfar. I would like to request Mr azfar to avoid presenting lies.
Best regards

replied on Monday, August 27, 2012 03:19 PM PST 

Hi Friends, As I am sitting in Kuwait, cannot
contact DHAI, Will anyone be able to adivse about block Rose (I have bought a plot in the block)? Further, Will the area be able to construct a house in next five years?

Samad Ghani. replied on Monday, August 27, 2012 04:10 PM PST 

I went today at DHA Islamabad office .Customer service confirmed the cancellation of all blocks except 4 Blocks. & encourage me to see the Development of DHA Homes this coming Friday.
The trip is organized by DHA .Transport will take people from DHA main office at Phase-1 to site & return back at 12:00. Its free service.
I have 5 Marla Home in DHA Homes. I am on vacation from Doha these days & resident of Taxilla.

Haroon replied on Monday, August 27, 2012 04:16 PM PST 

Dear Samad ,
I am also from doha , so as u know i v diff to come Pak & visit ISB , u r highlly requested to plz visit Sunflower block also &
update me with current status of development plz

Salman replied on Monday, August 27, 2012 04:26 PM PST 

AOAto all. I also tend to agree with Mr Mehmood Ali.

As this rumour/theory is being discussed at this forum for now almost 2 months that dha valley has been trimmed and certain blocks cancelled. Also previous such claims were made by mentioning name of DHA person who divulged this information. But bottom line remains that UNLESS any thing about project size is officially notified to public by DHA, all such this remains almost baseless (perhaps good only for sake of gup-shup).

I also talked to customer support guys last month and they also said that they are not aware of any such development to cut the size of valley.

So lets pray what ever happens happens good for all as all have invested their hard earned money but in the process we all have learned a basic investment lesson i.e. A BIRD IN HAND IS BETTER THAN TWO IN THE BUSH (a property on ground is 1000 times better than aprpoerty which is in
files AND that to think/consult 10 times before making any such decisions as these decisions can even ruin life of ours and our dear ones).
once again Salam and regards to all.

So

ahmed baba replied on Monday, August 27, 2012 05:05 PM PST 

Mr samad Ghani, lease also take ca video camera or still camera and upload some updates of overseas and dha homes development.

AK replied on Monday, August 27, 2012 05:16 PM PST 

I got the same reply from DHAI office that all blocks are cancelled except those 4. So if this is rumor why DHAI officials are spreading it?

007 replied on Monday, August 27, 2012 05:25 PM PST 

Dear Mr. Samad,

please go on the tour of DHA VALLEY and please check and ask them about the construction progress on Lily Block. Please ask them by when they will be able to deliver the remaning blocks, I am sure people like us who are away will pray for your this kindness.

Regards

Sal replied on Monday, August 27, 2012 08:16 PM PST 

AOA, But why such an important decision od reducing project size not communicated to public by management of DHAI.

To those friends who are talking to DHA officers on , pl also ask these officers when official corresspondence will be issued in press/website.

Akhter replied on Monday, August 27, 2012 09:16 PM PST 

What if one does not want a plot in new place DHA III?

MM replied on Wednesday, August 29, 2012 03:50 PM PST 

Dear All,

I would suggest not to believe in these rumours. Call DHAI management yoursef. Don't belive in my words either. I've called them many times and they always confirmed that don't care about rumours and there's no cancellation. I think there're some real estate player who have investment in the blocks being mentioned here as safe or want to devalue to project to invest in other blocks. Anyways, the only disappointment from DHAI is that they are not officially coming forward to answer these rumours.

Can some body advise what are the future potentials of behria sector C commercial plots. There are almost 300-500 plots sitting middle of now where. What will be the best case scenario

BT Lahore plot owner replied on Monday, August 27, 2012 01:04 AM PST 

brother the only way a person is successful in his investment is when he thinks positive and stays positive, u seem like a guy who is negative about this investment, i advise u to stay away.

Another BT Sec C owner replied on Monday, August 27, 2012 06:14 PM PST 

If you just calculate percentage rental returns, these are highest for Bahria. This reflects that still there is still a lot of room for
prices to go up.

Also, i agree that there has to be significant number of houses or potential hinterland, which is the case with Bahria Sector C that is surrounded by lots of houses. Infact Bahria Sector C has become commercial hub for all the related activities even for surrounding housing societies.

This is my opinion, you may go visit the area and get a feel for yourself.

BT Lahore plot owner replied on Tuesday, August 28, 2012 12:17 PM PST 

yaar this is a dead investment i think people should invest their hard earned money in other societies like nfc2 and jublee town and izmeer. bt is nothing compared to these projects.

DHA Park View

Dear Experts,
I want to buy 10 marla plot in DHA 8 (Park View)in Oct 2012 (at my visit to Pakistan) and want to start construction right after purchase, what is approx price of average plot there and if somebody knows any good company there in Pakistan for house construction, please let me know, I learned from this forum that average construction cost in lahore is Rs. 1800/sqft.
Need your advise.

Thanks and regards,

MAB

Javed replied on Monday, August 27, 2012 12:44 PM PST 

Their are total about 150 plots of 10 marla in block-c (extension) and many of them are converted to houses, so the price is very high, about 50-60 lac. My humble suggession is instead of going for 10 marla @ 50-60 lac, you can have one kanal plot at block-G @ about 70-75 lac. Just think on that.

And affect overall results. Max. 4 subjects are normally chosen keeping two fields options open.

Salam brothers,
I have a 1kanal plot in Lahore DHA Phase 6 block D and inshAllah looking to start construction in next couple of months inshAllah.
As I currently don't reside in Pak I am building this house for my parents so I need some sincere advice from the brothers leaving comments on this site. My questions are
1) how much is the construction cost for building a double storey house in DHA?
2) Is phase 6 a good and profitable phase to build the house? Someone suggested that I shud sell this plot and buy in phase 5
3) after the comstruction is completed when it will be possible to rent out the upper portion so that my parents can live on the ground floor n they can receive the rent from upper portion
4) is it safe to rent out the house? I have heard many horror stories where the renter won't leave the place. In such situations does DHA provide some help?
5) how much is the rent I should expect to receive
6) are there any state agencies that provide full service in terms of taking care of the property, collecting rent and finding new tanents etc.
Apologies for so many questions

dxb replied on Sunday, August 26, 2012 01:55 PM PST 

1) roughly 1800sqft
2) PH6 is best. somebody advising you to sell and buy in Ph5 not your friend, must be an agent
3) approximate rent will be 25-30k
4) no threat to property ownership

AHM replied on Sunday, August 26, 2012 08:08 PM PST 

@dxb:

Are you sure about 1K house rent in DHA-6? 25000 to 30000 per month is for 5 marla house in other phases of DHA.

Ali Abbas replied on Sunday, August 26, 2012 10:52 PM PST 

phase 6 is the most modern phase of defence and one have not to wait more than 2 to 3 years when u will see that phase 6 willl be most expensive phase of defence with most modern schools uni golf course CCA. nowadays upper portion of 1 kanal in phase 6 will be easily given on 25000 to 30000. yes in dha its safe to rent a house.
