Rental Yield (Annual Rent / Property Value)

My question is about rental yield %(Annual Rent / Property Value *100) in Pakistan.
It appears, generally in Pakistan, Commercial properties have much higher rental yield as compared to Residential.
What percentage of rental yield in Pakistan is considered satisfactory in mature properties or commercial areas where property's appreciation is expected to be at par with inflation?

Appreciate, sharing your experiences or some relevant studies/research.

Thanks in advance.

Amir

muhammad replied on Thursday, February 23, 2012 08:52 AM PST

I think 6.85% should be enough not more tha it.

FX replied on Thursday, February 23, 2012 12:50 PM PST

Dear Amir, very relevant question though there may not be an answer to this question on this forum because of non-availability of data. I just have a vague idea and that is based on observation; for commercial rental yields in mature areas are around 6-7% and for residential it is around 3-4%. These are the general figures that im giving though there could be huge variation depending on the area.

My collegue live in 10 marla house at Askari 10 he is paying rent @32000 and annul rent goes to 384000. price of house is around 80-85 lacs this yield is around 4.5 to 5%.

rana replied on Thursday, February 23, 2012 10:21 PM PST

10M house I rent out in Bahria has a yield of 4.62%. House value I used in the calc is what I spent on land+construction. Market price may be higher making the yield a little lower.

Jameel replied on Friday, February 24, 2012 05:55 AM PST

a well located well constructed house yields about 5 to 6% rent and 7 to 8% annual appropriation, at the same time there is some management involved and building is fancy type or thekedar built it has about 5% annual deprecation of building.
On the other hand a new house when rented for about 6 months loses 25% of its total value and is labelled as used.
The yield is best in small houses better locations nearer the cities, and should have solid construction and lesser wood work.
Flats yield about 10% yield but price appreciation is minimal

Umair (Ny, USA) replied on Saturday, February 25, 2012 04:42 AM PST

3-7% sounds about right. But friends, dont forget the biggest factor that takes away from Real Return (price adjusted profit), and that is of course, inflation rate north of 15%, and 38% currency depreication relaltive to USD in last 4 yrs. So technically, Negative Real Rate of Return by investing in properties in Pakistan. You lose money by investing in Pakistan. However, the GOOD NEWS is that the appreciation of the properties in DHA Lahore in some cases has outpaced the negative real rate of return(depending on when the property was bought of course).

Dear Brothers,

The file price of DHA Phase 7 is 29 lacs, how is it possible that plot price shall be less than that.

The newly balloted 1K PV plot prices shall start from 35 lacs, or the other possibility is that DHA 7 file price shall decrease.

Regards,

ali11 replied on Wednesday, February 22, 2012 08:43 PM PST

You are right, however, people will take sometime to realize this. PV balloted plots prices will be based on existing prices of their respective blocks + location + keeping in view that development is yet to start.

Phase-6 & phase-7 allocation files are not a good buy as their are hardly any good locations left that DHA may acquire or offer !!

What is the impact of balloting of PV files on the existing plot prices in X and Y blocks? I suppose they have gone up by 3-4 lacs.

ali11 replied on Tuesday, February 21, 2012 11:51 PM PST

no reason to go up !

Lahori replied on Wednesday, February 22, 2012 01:13 AM PST

With a fresh supply of almost 3000 new plots what should be the logical impact on prices. That much should be obvious. However, the plots which were borderline previously, their 'location factor' has materially changed. These are no more borderline, hence their price should rise but the prices of other plots?? Will they rise? I don't think so. Will they drop? That's what the law of supply and demand says!!!

Zahid replied on Wednesday, February 22, 2012 01:15 AM PST

I think price may go up a little because before phase 7 was considered at the end and near to border. Atleast, now X/Y block can no longer b considered the End of Lahore or DHA. We have great number of PV plots now existing down the lane. I know its sound a little wiered but its all pyscological. Its just like phase 7 and phase 6 were 2 km aparts but phase 7 was never investors choice because of its being at the end

Dear Experts,

Please guide with pros and cons the use of galvanized pipes and fittings vs PPRC (green plastic) pipes and fittings for domestic water supply.

thanks in advance

abc123 replied on Tuesday, February 21, 2012 11:08 PM PST

Flexible PPRC pipes are far better than GI pipes as they are not prone to corrosion, bear more stresses, thermally sound and better performance. I have changed all old GI pipes in my home with new PPRC pipes.

bajwa replied on Wednesday, February 22, 2012 12:14 AM PST

PPRC pipes are way better than GI if water is saline but i think in pindi region there is no issue of salinity.
Even then PPRC pipes are economical,life is more,no corrosion.

Dear All,

I am visiting Pakistan next month hopefully to buy a land for contracting House in another maximum 1 to 2 years of time. I am having total Budget of 13 Lakh, I required a Land of 5 Marla possession Land & should be 100% ready for construction. Can someone please guide me which Societies Should I add into my Listing before I come, I want to Plan before my arrival as per the suggestion I will received.
Also I have kept BT Sector D in mind but thinking if they delay the possession and change my Plot of some far locations? Is BT trustable?

What other Societies in Lahore I should prefer where 5 Marla Land could be in 13 Lakh & Fully Possession plot?

Hussain UAE replied on Tuesday, February 21, 2012 02:59 PM PST

Dear Batool,
No need to buy in sector D.In my opinion it is expensive.In sector -B Usman block /ali block,u can get 5 marla plot ranging 10-14 lakh very easily and u can start home right now.Go and see yourself.
Sector-D Price is too high.My sister made home in usman block corner 5marla corner facing park,bought plot in 13.5 lakh 1year before.otherwise with little low quality in jubille town

Hussain UAE replied on Tuesday, February 21, 2012 04:04 PM PST

Thanks a lot Hussain for such a quick response, I have actually enquired already for Sector A, B, C but it seems prices there are way to high, As per current rate I think 5 Marla Plot will be around 14 to 16 Lakh. Still I think It would best to visit the place itself to decide.

BATOOL KHANUM replied on Wednesday, February 22, 2012 12:21 PM PST

I was wondering that most of the people only advice BT for 5 Marla. I personally wanted few of more suggestion. I want to list down all the reasonable living Societies in Lahore where Rest of my life can be spent in a best way. Why Only BT has been advice.

Can someone please advice apart from BT. Where else should I visit before taking my final Call.

BT, SUKH CHAIN, JUBILEEE TOWN are already suggested.
Tell me some more societies on Multan Road.

Any body has any idea abt the current rates of files in GEPCO Town,Gujranwala,near Gift University, on Sialkot Bypass Gujranwala??? It is supposed to be a 650 Acre society,managed by Gepco Employees Housing Foundation..Have they acquired all the land yet??

Expert GRW replied on Friday, December 14, 2012 03:50 PM PST

Dear Usman,

Actually GEHF is NOT managed by GEPCO/WAPDA an Ex-CE managed this society and during his charge in 2010 he launch this society.
Now he and his team enjoy good pay against plot instalment.
Purchase of land is still doubtful due to lack of interest of GEHF team.
So, Pray for GOD your investment return you as you expected.
