In my last vst 2 weeks back i saw Kanal Road and Bahria Much more populated my last visit to Bahria was 4 years back.
I got these rate from the dealer and he also showed us 3 plots in this that areas was walking less than on KM distance from Main commercial, I guess it was jasmine Block but was 80 feet road. Plots were leveled,
The other option was overseas B 194 to 230 range. we were not interested in that.

Yes Bahria has already imposed these no construction penalty, this is reason for many plots in resale market. Intentionally that dealer was reluctant to tell us the fact about that but later he confirmed that after 3 three years from first possession that rate rate is due.
Before that there is also some penalty but lesser.
Mostly of Kanal plots in Sector B were near 60 Lac as possession is available for than 5 ys there, it is not clear who pays Penalty seller or buyer?
I am sorry this neat and honest information is in conflict with some Bharia investors.

Jameel,

Which other societies have you seen. Can you give your opinion about them also.

Mohsinocs replied on Tuesday, August 21, 2012 04:35 PM PST 

This is not something that no one has ever heard before, everyone here is very much familiar of the fact that Bahria imposes a No construction penalty, when you buy a plot, the seller is responsible to clear all the dues upto the date of his agreement with the buyer, once you buy a plot & you dont apply for possession, you will be charged with the penalty of Rs 500/month until you get the possession. And if you apply for possession then their will be no penalty for 3 years, after 3 years a monthly penalty of rs 2500 will be imposed. So dont go for the possession if you are not willing to construct your house on it.

JJJ replied on Wednesday, August 22, 2012 01:42 AM PST 

Mohsinocs sahib,
One thing you missing to tell here that if you don't take possession, Bahria can change the
location of your plot any time, so it's better you don't take the risk and apply for possession. Once you have got possession, it's safe at least for that point of view.

JJJ replied on Wednesday, August 22, 2012 01:44 AM PST 

Forgot to mention, I have seen Bahria adds/ Final Notices in the past and it does say that if you don't pay the dues or take Posession until that day, your plots will be cancelled so they can do anything.

AHM replied on Wednesday, August 22, 2012 11:24 PM PST 

@ Mohsinocs

This is not "Non-Construction Penalty", it is maintenance charges 500/month before construction, nothing during three years after possession and 2500/month when you start construction.This will remain even after you build your house even. This money includes water supply bill, security,garbage disposal and general maintenance for the society.

Non-construction charges are some thing different, you purchased a plot and kept for long without applying for possession may fall under this penalty clause. This may be applicable for fully developed and ready for construction area in between built up houses. The question is, how long is the duration one can hold his plot without penalty?

An Overseas Investor replied on Tuesday, March 26, 2013 07:27 AM PST 

Guys just so you all know that I just became a victim of this so called "Non Construction Penalty".
I sold my plot 10marla in blcok C, I had it for just over 3 years. They really dont tell truth over the phone unless you goto their office with the documents. They charged me Rs:17,000 per month :-( THATS TRUE
I am delighted that I got rid of it. Thank GOD!

I think I owe you the info so thought why not share it with you all.

I am the owner of house d-12/3(under construction, almost in finishing stages), and i personally know few people who have moved there and living a very good life, security is mashALLAH very good there, even at night. more and more people are coming and construction is under way, if you compare it with last one or two years. d-12/1 has got a good pace, and the reason might be there are almost every size of plot. gas is almost there, infact few people got the connection, but the serious problem is water, especially in d-12/3, we are using water for nallah , which could be use for contraction , but once family is move, this would be an issue,
lets hope for the best, take care

MAS replied on Tuesday, August 21, 2012 07:03 PM PST 

I have also noticed the same thing. The landscape in D-12 is slowly changing due to new constructions and it is no longer a deserted place like it used to be 2 years ago. May you find a lot of happiness in your new home.

ks replied on Tuesday, August 21, 2012 07:29 PM PST 

Encouraging news.

I know at least two families, around my house, who happen to be Zardaris' "buddies". Homes for both families are build 99%. I have heard of other such resourceful families, including Judges, Minister etc. Given their "contacts", it is safe to assume that the rest of the development work will be completed soon, as I know one of them is itching to move-in.

On the flip side, I know of many D-12 owners, including my own family and friends, who have NO plan to build their own homes any time soon. Reason being the current pace of development is discouraging to them. Most of them said 2 years ago that as soon as they will get possession, they will start build. Today they are silent.

Can you please share/refer the painter you are using? I need a top notch painter who can do quality job and can show his work. I too have started finishing stages. Thanks

bro please guide me.....i got admsn in frst list in bs mechancl from pieas ..... i have submitted the fee to reserve my seat ....... but alot of people are saying to me that uet lahore is better ...and the value of its degree is better then pieas ......... i am bit confused that i should go for uet mechancl or else join pieas....please guide me

Kashif Ali replied on Monday, August 20, 2012 03:30 PM PST 

Both institutes are very good. in HEC ranking PIAS is always on top in engineering categories.

Mohsin waseem replied on Monday, August 20, 2012 07:16 PM PST 

yup i knw ...but plz tell me which uni has more prefrence in seeking jobs....whose degree is better i am a bit confused

aussie_expat replied on Monday, August 20, 2012 07:59 PM PST 

Obviously uet... Ranking to agriculture university ki bhi achhi hai but job scene is not dependent on ranking...

Jameel replied on Monday, August 20, 2012 11:29 PM PST 

PIEAS is not recognized by Pakistan Eng Council , Top 2 institutes a Nust and UET
PIEAS is good for post Graduation

Jameel replied on Monday, August 20, 2012 11:44 PM PST 

If I let Not you Confuse most of people get admission in one Institute to reserve a seat when they are trying for UET , Submitting Fees in Pieas is good for that,
Now you try for UET if you get seat here then leave the seat of PIEAs, I am sure you could not get seat in Nust as admission date is already over, I think you are not native of Lahore or Nilor other wise there would be no confusion.
To get admission in any reputed Univ or Eng College is Big achievement, But Better submit papers in UET test and If You get Good Technology here then leave PIEAs.
What Problems you will have if PIEAs is Not recognized in GOVT sector
In Pak Gov sector you may not get Job easily,
IN Gulf they will ask for Confirmation of Your degree by Pak eng council,
For UK anada US Nothing matters as they dont recognize any Eng college is Pakistan, In case of these westeren countries You will have to sit in SAT and redo most of credits there.
I hope it helps
Note : Looking at Your seat in PIEAs I think it will be tough for you to get seat in Good Technology in UET if so, then better Continue PIEAs

farooq replied on Tuesday, August 21, 2012 12:30 AM PST 

aoa first of all congratulations.
pieas and uet are both equally good. uet programs are well established as its an old institute. pieas is still in the consolidating period.
secondly that pieas has reputation in higher studies. in MS and Phd. that is why its on HEC top ranking
and last but not the least if you are from lahore then opt for Uet lahore to avoid hostel issues.
regards

Mohsin waseem replied on Tuesday, August 21, 2012 03:01 AM PST 

thnx brothers.........for solving my confusion ...i also got admission in nust eme mechancl but it was too expensive my could not afford it.....i have applied for scholarship there but no response.........please pray for me that i should be admitted in uet lahore....i am lahori bro.............once again thnku brothers

Jameel replied on Tuesday, August 21, 2012 03:04 PM PST 

most of expenses you will have to bear is hostel life which will not cost you less than 20K/month[including al] that is why best thing to concentrate on UET still there are 25 days in test and I hope you will do well.
best wishes

Irfan1 replied on Tuesday, August 21, 2012 11:06 PM PST 

In USA, for first 50 universities, they have their own rankings of "Reputed Pak-universities and full-program conversions". Please don't say anything if you don't have experience.

Mohsin waseem replied on Tuesday, August 28, 2012 12:28 AM PST

I Dont think there is are many issues as thought. These plots are usually safe, the only issue people think that the entrance of these houses is in direct vision of may offices and plazas and if some one want to keep an eye who is coming and going the house that can be watched easily. But that can also be done by watch man of next or opposite house as well, once I was looking for house in phase 4 which is built for last 15 years, believe me every 3rd house was empty owners were overseas and only watchman was living, mostly these were young men from villages and getting 7000 to 8000 salary, who knows what they are doing in houses.
Other issues told about houses facing commercial is traffic and rush but I think all commercials are not like DHA phase 3 Y Block and Main Commercial phase 1 if you see Phase 2,4 and 5 commercials these are very peaceful traffic wise.
Commercials are very safe and very easy to live due near by facilities, initially these areas are populated by property dealers but later all facilities come here.
The Only issue which I think is valid is that if you want goto sell you get less price just due to belief of market,
My advice is go ahead as these areas are prime areas facilities wise.

Dear All, Happy Eid to you in advance. I have concern about DHA Valley status. Since living and working in KSA, we invested our hard earned saving in DHA Valley, and now we are hearing that the whole project is in doubt because of Dam in the area. I have two plots in Lotus and Lily, I would like to know from my countrymen, what is happening??
Some people on this forum are saying that authorities are paying back the money but only 80% of what we have paid. Is it True?
Please Advice..

khan replied on Sunday, August 19, 2012 12:17 AM PST 

mr sawan your plot is not worth more than 6,50000 all dues clear its very ordinary
location.

AK replied on Sunday, August 19, 2012 08:58 PM PST 

Dear Ali,

You should visit DHA Valley site yourself before I and other people suggest you. In my honest opinion DHA Valley is not a feasible project anymore due to land scams and DAM issue so try to get out of this project but again visit the site and see for yourself before making any decision else some people will declare me as a broker...

Regards
