Assalam Alaykum
i want to sell my 15-Marla semi-old home in Model Town Lahore (F-Block), near Makro/link-road, (open-face to words big-mosque-park).

i am offered max 100 lacks,
How mush should i demand?

please help.

Waqar replied on Tuesday, November 22, 2011 02:39 PM PST

It's all depends upon location, and construction.

If road in front is 30+ feet and construction requires little refurbishment then 125 or even 135 is reasonable. But destructible houses wont get more then 105 or 110.

Semi-commercial houses can be more expensive could go more then 150

Other factors which can effect the price are sewerage system, security

PS: my estimate is for Model town houses only.

DHA phase 9

DHA phase 9 lahore file is going up and up...

it jumped in few months from 15 to 20 lak .
i want to know that apart from file how much we have to pay in the form of development charges in this DHA phase 9 ..

ao after that what will be total price ????

jk replied on Tuesday, November 22, 2011 11:46 AM PST

DHA-8 was launched at the price of 45 lack plus 10lack for development charges thats make toral 55 lacks per kanal. I believe DHA-9 will not be less then that when ever get launched.

Lets assume even if is being offer on same price it will be 45 lack for plot and perhaps 10 to 15 lack as development.

Thats why the file price is getting higher every day because it is getting closer to the announcement of balloting.

Ahsan replied on Tuesday, November 22, 2011 02:30 PM PST

It is astonshing that the fact phase 9 files are under valed came in light all of sudden during last few months.

A replied on Tuesday, November 22, 2011 04:18 PM PST

Hello jk. can you or CM please explain the 45lack price tag for phase-9 plot? what does that mean? i have phase-9 file. does that mean i will have to pay 45 lack and then 10k development charges? if not, then what does the price of 45 lack mean?

Khan replied on Tuesday, November 22, 2011 04:49 PM PST

Dear A

You do not have to pay any additional money to DHA except development charges, 45 lakh price tag means, DHA offered DHA 8 one kanal plot for 55 lakh including development charges (45=55-10). It means you can estimate the value of your DHA 9 plot after ballot.

jk replied on Tuesday, November 22, 2011 04:51 PM PST

since you have allocation file you have to pay the development charges only. For DHA 8 the development charges was 10 lacks
( i.e 83,500 x 12 installments )

The value of your file will be 45 lacks if DHA keeps the same same rate as for DHA-8.

Now Allah knows better what will be price at the ballting time for DHA-9 but history tells there is always an increase in price.

Just hold on your investment and enjoy daily increment. good luck

mahmood replied on Wednesday, November 23, 2011 04:26 AM PST

hey I bought file for phase 9 "1 kanal", i have got receipt tht states associate membership fees,mosque fund,manzernama charges, sports fund, and all, do i still hav to pay development charges?

Can somebody with market knowledge and well reputed like CMY, CDW or Hussain Kaisrani sahib shed some light on the existing status of phase 5 extension plot balloting in December?
Curiosity of people are building as the month approaches but we should at the same time be ready for practicalities and its much better to know the ground realities, whether they go in our favour or not.
So i am just writing to ask people sitting in the market about the existing situation. And if there are any chances of further delay then what are the reasons behind it?
From what i can see they cannot delay it any further due to the following major reasons;

1. A major ballot for a big phase or part of it is long over due which DHA cannot postpone any more as army personnel need to be alloted plots immediately and that demand cannot be satisfied by Askari housing in lahore only.Hence, ballot of phase 9 is bound to happen next year.
Now, there is no way that phase 5 extension balloting can be left out with phase 9 ballot so close in sight.
2. All the major hurdles that delayed phase 5 extension ballot like phase 5 interchange and Askari housing allocation in that phase have been removed now.

So i am trying to find the logic which might delay this ballot further and i can't find any.
Would love to have people's views on it.

PS: A lot of messages on this topic by various people have gone unnoticed the last few weeks so would appreciate a detailed discussion on this issue.

Regards

MS replied on Tuesday, November 22, 2011 02:07 AM PST

Dear Faisal, DHA has many plots in dha phase 6,phase 7 and phase which are still belong to DHA .They are not allotted to anyone.DHA can accommodate army personnel there, its not big issue for DHA.You can see in lre rates updates dHA phase 6 and phase 7 allocation files still availabe for buying and selling Although DHA Phase 5 Extension is not a big deal for DHA , it is only one block .They can do it tomorrow but i wonder why they are delaying it unnecessarily. Same issue with park view files.We dont know Up till now where is exact location of park view files.so far what i did understand right now, but i m not sure, If DHA announce ballot of DHA phase 9 today, DHA phase 7 is going for disaster only because of his location.

JUJ replied on Tuesday, November 22, 2011 07:42 PM PST

I agree with MS. It will be cruel to Phase 7 to ballot phase 9 just now. Because of its distance, Phase 9 will overtake phase 7 and Phase 7 may remain deserted for long time. So dha will wait until complete handover of all sectors in phase 7 and house building activity like Phase 6 is started before doing ballot of phase 9.

Common Sense replied on Tuesday, November 22, 2011 09:21 PM PST

Currently phase 9 is Favourite Phase of DHA administration + GHQ high ups as plots are alloted to Shuhada in DHA 9. Also Askari 11, DHA 5 Extension, and Aashiana housing scheme are situated on DHA phase 9 land. Currently DHA and GHQ high ups are showing a lot of interest in DHA 9 and they want to develop whole of it much sooner than previously expected. Once developed due to its better location its price will be more than best plots of DHA 7.

People are now realizing that DHA 9 development is already under progress in blocks A, B, C and D.

10 Marla plot in DHA 9 costs 35 Lacs. Excluding 5 Lacs dev. charges consider 10 Marla plot in DHA 9 is valued at 30 Lacs as of today excluding dev. charges. How can one kanal remain at 20 or 21 Lacs. This is the big discrepancy that is filling the gap now.

DHA 9 One Kanal excluding dev. charges should be = 1.5 X 30 Lacs = 45 Lacs as of today. That is where it is going. It may take few months or few years to reach its worth but it is currenly worth at least the double of todays price. Ultimately it will catch up to its actual worth.

Try to stop it if you can.

Real Esate upward trend/cycle and genuine recovery in Pakistan started about an year ago after 6 years break in general, and usually this growth period lasts at least 5 years.

That is not to say there wont be any dips in price but any dips will prove to be buying opportunity for buyers, just like there were dips at 18 and then 19 Lacs. Now the price of 18 Lacs seems cheap. When it will reach 25 Lacs price of 21 will seem cheap and at 45 Lacs price of 25 will seem cheap, just like DHA 5 Extension seemed worthless and expensive at 22 Lacs and now at 35 Lacs price of 22 or 25 seems so low.

Khan replied on Wednesday, November 23, 2011 01:26 PM PST

Dear Common Sense

I appreciate your approach to analyze DHA 9 but majority does not understand these points. Although CMY sahib has explained these facts.

Mr AKJ, my brother has a plot is LAVENDER Block, and he got the plot as DHA Valley (not overseas). I applied for overseas Block in DHA Valley. I am curious to know where is the Overseas Block in DHA Valley. Thanks.

AKJ replied on Tuesday, November 22, 2011 03:26 PM PST

mr. nadeen who applied from overseas in dha valley they got plot in bogon viela, mongolian and sunflower blocks only. dhai fixed these blocks for overseas, there is no any separate area for overseas except these three blocks. if anybody have plot in these three blocks means he applied from overseas. these blocks are marked dark red in the map.

Rocky replied on Tuesday, November 22, 2011 05:27 PM PST

AJK and nadeem
i think that DHA management has changed the plan to uplift the valley , as they have changed the plan , in the start they placed the DHA homes in middle of valley but now they distributed the DHA homes in oleander and lilly block, like wise they distributed the overseas block in sunflower, boganvila and mognolia, so as to increase the market value of area and to reduce the pressure from overseas and DHA homes commounity.i know the people who have plots in theses blocks and they didnt apply on overseas quota, so wt u think that DHA will move them to some other blocks?
the actual thing is possession of developed blocks. now see wt they are going to offer it ?

AKJ replied on Wednesday, November 23, 2011 01:05 AM PST

Rocky replied on Wednesday, November 23, 2011 05:14 PM PST

very excellent move by DHA valley Management
They have uplifted the project by scattering
*****the commercial avenue in******
Bogenveila,Daffodils,Jasmine,Lily,Magnolia,Oleander,Rose,Sunflower and tulip.
*****DHA Homes********* in
Oleander and Bogenvelia
**********Overseas block********* in
Sunflower,Magnolia and bogenveila. so in view of above facts, Sunflower, Bogenvelia, magnolia, Oleander are the most demanding blocks and they will be offered to the customers very soon , then the remaining above mentioned blocks , after that the blocks which are not mentioned here will be ready for possession.
so congrates tp the holders of Sunflower, Bogenvelia, magnolia, Oleander.people having plots in these blocks plz plz dnt sell ur plots at minus , wait for few months. they will be ready and offer very soon

Hallow Concrete Blocks Vs Bricks

Today, I was an under construction house being built with hallow cemented blocks in stead of normal bricks. These concrete blocks are manufactured by NLC and one block is sufficient for 9 bricks of place.I was told that these concrete slabs are more solid yet cheaper than bricks and keep the temperature of the house low by 35 % in summers.

How good or bad is this construction material ?

Please share if have an experience or knowledge.

Khan replied on Monday, November 21, 2011 04:55 AM PST

Partly correct. These blocks are not load bearing.The load of thew concrete roof and then the first floor can not be borne by these blocks. You have to have pillars to support the roff and first floor.

Haroon replied on Monday, November 21, 2011 11:19 AM PST

Dear Aamir,

Please let us know the cost ratio of hollow cemented blocks verses bricks.It is indeed a very good option and brothers on the forum are requested to give their expert opinion. In Karachi, 100% construction is done with these blocks and there is no such like problem indicated by Brother Khan.Moreover kindly let us know how and where to contact NLC in Islamabad for the purpose.

Regards

Tahir replied on Monday, November 21, 2011 12:12 PM PST

Please follow the link given below and you will have your all questions answered regarding hollow concrete blocks.

http://nlcpearl.com/

Price ratio:-

To construct one kanal house, generally 130,000 bricks are required which comes out to be Approx Rs. 10 lacs in terms of price for Darja Awal bricks. The expenditure of hollow blocks for the same number of bricks is even less than 6 lacs.

Ali Doha replied on Monday, November 21, 2011 03:11 PM PST

Mr. Tahir can you update on Concrete Block Prices of both Hollow & Solid Blocks . Above given web site rates are not available.

Tahir replied on Monday, November 21, 2011 03:29 PM PST

One load bearing hollow block after reaching your construction site costs Rs.40. Non load bearing hallow block is way less than that.

I am sorry I don't know the price of solid concrete block.

Haroon replied on Monday, November 21, 2011 05:01 PM PST

Comparison between Hollow blocks and Bricks and respective rates of NLC products as received on my inquiry is given below for info all Brothers.
......................................................................

Bricks 130,000 = Blocks 14,857 pcs

quantity 8.75 bricks = 1 blocks 8x8x16 (1900-psi)

price Brick Rs. 7 * 8.75 = 61.25 at site
Price Block Rs. 45/pc at site

comparison = 16.25 ( cost difference of bricks and blocks on site)
Advantages of Blocks:
- PSI 1900 where as brick has 800
- all blocks are equal in shape where as bricks are all d-shape
- plaster mortar control in blocks where as bricks consume plaster
- Blocks prevent moisture

looking forward for your reply

@ Haroon,

What about the cost of filling hollow space ? or it should left hollow ??

Tahir replied on Monday, November 21, 2011 05:32 PM PST

Hollow space is left as it is. That's why it works as an insulated wall.

AG replied on Monday, November 21, 2011 07:51 PM PST

@Aamir.

1. Bricks are used for "Load Bearing Walls" construction because of Excellent Compressive Strength of Bricks. Overall cost of this type of construction is much less than the "Frame Structure" construction. This is why this type of construction is popular & common.

2. Compressive Strength of Hollow Blocks is very poor. They are used in "Frame Structure" construction where Frame ( Columns & Beams) bear the load & hollow blocks simply fill the gaps. This type of construction is costlier than load bearing walls type construction. It is usually used for High Rise Buildings or in areas prone to Earth Quakes.

3. Yes hollow blocks do provide thermal insulation because of the air trapped inside them.

4. If someone can afford it is advisable to go for "Frame Structurë" type of construction.

Regards.

Qudoos replied on Monday, November 21, 2011 07:54 PM PST

@ Haroon ; But after adding cost of pillars and beams for load sharing total cost of Block construction is more than bricks however with advantages.

Sarmad, Sharjah replied on Monday, November 21, 2011 08:56 PM PST

Kindly correct me if I am wrong, block has a limited life but bricks, long life. Block are not as durable as bricks. Centuries year old Bricks made building are still sustaining but blocks have maximum 25 - 30 years life.

AG replied on Sunday, November 20, 2011 09:46 PM PST

UAE Laws about residence visa for property owners in UAE are not very clear. It is highly risky to invest in Dubai propoerty for this ourpose. However these days property prices in Dubai are quite attractive.

IrfanUAE replied on Sunday, November 20, 2011 10:29 PM PST

If you buy property worth of AED 1 million, then u can get visa for 6 months. And it is not a residence visa, it is a multiple entry visi visa but renewable after every 6 months by paying the visa fee every time.
The other ways are to start a business there. Go to UAE on a visit visa and then see the opportunities there according to ur previous experience. You can get visit visa for 1-3 months from any good travel agent.

If any of your friend or relative has a company, take from them. it is the cheapest option. otherwise buy a free zone lisence and get many visas. Agent's also arrange residence visa but charge very hi. to buy property to have visa is not advisable

Yes, IrfanUAE is correct u can get Res visa against property value 1 Million. It is valid for 3years. you have to exit each 6month. No work allowed. The only option is to get work visa and invest in property. As Resident you have multiple options to become entrepreneur. You may contact me at my email .

Yea but Free Zone Company cost you alot, on renewal every year! but can some one clear that lets see if we have HFZA Sharjah Free zone company, on the licence we do business in dubai?

Q replied on Monday, November 21, 2011 06:28 PM PST

instead of investing 1m dirhams to have residence, why not take a free zone lisence AED 35K per year and have 4 families visas, share the cost. I heard agent selling res visas for 15K AED valid for 2 years

Dear Q

Keep in mind Dubai is one of the most expensive places to live with family. If you do not earn above 5 Lacs Pak Rs, you are likely to have to make compromises and live sub standard life in order to have any saving. If you have good high paying job 4+ Lacs with residence and health coverage provided by your employer you are OK otherwise you might be in trouble by paying a lot of money just to get residency.

As an accountant I can advise you to calculate ROI (return on investment) and ideally it should yield you minimum of 6% to 8%. In case if its less than that then you need to review in detail for many factors.

Dear, do you mean annual ROI?
2000 K investment, 15 K x 12 = 180 K per annuam = 9% ROI.
Please confirm

Yes.
9% is a good return. Moreover you will growth in your investment as well with the passage of time, inshallah tala.

I thought you have the take care of the taxes and all other expenses of maintenance and other charges to calculate the rate of return!

Irfan replied on Monday, November 21, 2011 01:55 PM PST

Khan, good pointer, being an overseas pakistani have not even thought about taxes.
