DHA phase 5 extension
location is probably one of the worst locations in all of future DHA. It's unfortunate that when we talk of "good location", we mostly mean how close the area is to big roads, airports and existing phases of DHA. I feel that's a very narrow criterion for defining a good location. If you have a plot which is closest to all attractive features of a society but is facing a village, would you call it a good location?
The site earmarked for phase 5 extension contains one BIG village and a large number of smaller housing units. The side facing ring road is mostly owned by private owners who will never sell it to DHA. One the southern side you have another BIG village called LEEL and on the eastern edge you have the kamahan lidhar road which too is infested with small build up units. Now my question to you guys is...if DHA draws a rectangle map on this side and shows you a beautiful yet blurred map in its publications, does that mean that all these negative features have disappeared from the ground? The village will always be there, these scattered houses and shops will always be there. Don't be fooled by dealers and other people with vested interests into believing that a plot located in the vicinity of so many village-quality houses is worth 40 lacs. For people who need a reminder, look what is happening with V block of phase 7. On their map, they are still showing a beautifully townplanned sector located next to golf course and all major approaches to phase 6, but I don't need to mention that it has now become one of the least sought after blocks of phase 7 because of the ground reality.
Anybody interested in buying in 5-extension should visit the site themselves or at least analyze it from google earth. doesn't mean if a file has become "hard to find" or "no sellers" it implies that it has become a good investment. Go for areas which are clear on ground and offer you a good environment. For example U and T blocks of Phase 7 are one of the most beautiful blocks of all future DHA because they are absolutely free from any negative features. But these blocks don't qualify as "good location" as per the standards floating these days. Even the DHA town in phase 9 is a good location, with clear land and with no village in it.
So friends, i will strongly advice you to stay from 5-extension. If you are a gambler, then anything is ok but if you are somebody who can only buy one plot and wants to play safe please stay away from 5-extension. Phase 9 is a much better option. Most of phase 6, Blocks U, T and W, parts of R, S, P, Z and Y in phase 7, only those blocks of Phase 8 which are a good distance away from the villages and graveyards and ring road, S-block phase 8 ( another good location but often ignored by people), most of DHA town and also phase 9
files; I feel these are all safe and sound investments.

Our dear Gumnaam DHA, don't get upset and angry on something which is true, logical and based on facts. I can write long comparisons and future projections regarding pros/cons of both 5-ext, Phase-8, Phase-6 etc, but will not waste time for a person who is so afraid to disclose his identity.
I am a proud holder of 5-ext file even till date. You can only know and see one side of the picture as you're a layman in my eyes. Despite of the fact that I love 5-extension due to its surroundings, and location, I will never make my home in 5-extension. I'm already in the process of making my home in DHA Phase-6. By the grace of Allah i've not taken any loss in 5-extension and already leveraged my investment by taking different plots in DHA, and 5-extension files at various prevailing rates.
I will always stand by my words till date, that 5-extension is the jewel of DHA and it will be part of proper phase-5. Don't give me crap like there are villages around, and farms, and it's separated by ring road or service lane etc... All DHA phases do have or were once having small villages around them, and all phases have their worth till date. And, all investors/owners who did their investment in right time did get benefit/apreciation of their investment till date as well. So, it's all about right time and believe me in eyes of DHA administration all phases are equal, and they try best to make them at par with each other. Every phase has some goodies attached to it, but these do appear and pay on right time.
I still insist based on strong facts and internal information that:
5-extension will NO MORE be called an extension, and it will be blocks of DHA Phase-5 as M, D-ext blocks.
5-extension will be part of proper phase-5 having access to other blocks of DHA Phase-5
5-extension will appreciate inshaAllah to plot values between that of DHA Phase-5 and Phase-6 in 2 years time.
5-extension is surrounded by Asksari-11, DHA 9 Town, Ring Road, Facing A Block Phase-5, and interchange of 5/6.
5-extension as of today is much better than DHA Phase-7 and Phase-8 where it's all banjar, deep pits, and bayabaan area..
I can write a lot more, but it's for those who can understand, and want to understand. |
