Dear CMY,

I have 2 plots in blocks K and L. How can I make a pair in any of the blocks? can I contact you directly and offline if you can help in finding the owners of plots either side of my plots?

CMY replied on Friday, May 20, 2011 08:05 PM PST 

Call me or email your exact plot. Chances are great a plot holder next to you did came in
contact with me during past 8 years. Most people do call me before they buy or sell (no matter from where). Due to this fact I could find the plot holder next to your plot.

What size of plot i can buy with my budget? and which one is more safe and secure, i need this plot to build a shop for my own work.

Is chinar bagh and awt2 both are equal towards investment and to work.

Aamir replied on Friday, May 20, 2011 11:54 PM PST 

@Lahore123: What is the difference between AWT-1 and AWT-2 in terms of price and
location ?

Lahore123 replied on Saturday, May 21, 2011 02:13 AM PST 

Dear,
there is lot of difference in term of price and
location of AWT1 AND AWT2.
if you r planning to buy in awt 1,then i will suggest you go for LDA avenue 1.As there was little difference in price but more charm in LDA avenue1.Not to mush distance b/w awt1 and lda.
AWT2 is in progress here you find cheap price plot as it is in initial stages however they have started giving pocession to people.Price wise good but location wise,you can say normal.
Location means where this society is situated (away from main riwand).

Aslam replied on Saturday, May 21, 2011 03:26 AM PST 

I think commercial plot is good in chinar bagh than awt2

Lahore 123 replied on Saturday, May 21, 2011 03:27 PM PST 

Let him decide,where he likes from these 2,he will buy.Both are in his range

Lahore replied on Saturday, May 21, 2011 04:22 PM PST 

Dear Lahore 123,

Thanks for your honest reply, i would like to add some more info about me, i am working in uae and willing to come back as well to start some own work and my budget for plot is 15 Lakh and 25 lakh i can manage with in 4 to 5 years for construction on it.

Presently i am not aware on chinar bagh and awt2, please while considering my above perameters please you or any one else can give me good advice.

I really will thankful to all of you.

My question is what is the best way to trasfer money legally outside pakistan to middle east. The amount is in the range to 15lakhs.

thanks

Khepia replied on Friday, May 20, 2011 03:20 PM PST 

Another option, though not always practicable, is carry yourself or have a friend carry up to the equivalent of US$ 10,000 with themselves when travelling. That is the legal limit.

DHA Lahore Phase 9-10 Email Answer that may help others too

Date: Tue, May 17, 2011 at 7:25 PM
Subject: DHA 9/10



Dear Friend,
I have an Allocation of Resident Plot (file) of DHA 9/10.
1-Would you please advice the difference in affidavit and allocation file?
2- Is my file Allocation?
3- When the balloting is expected for 9/10?
4- How do I know I fall in phase 9 or 10?
Looking forward & thanks in advance.

Best regards
**********

============================================

AOA,

Thanks for email.

Please send the scan copy of you docs so I could tell you if its an allocation or not. Here are few hints to know if you hold an allocation file or an affidavit file. If there is a picture scan of you on the letter you got from DHA Lahore than you have an allocation file. If you have paid membership fee of 23000 or 37000 you now hold an allocation file.

No official date of ballot is available. No one in DHA want to give a clue when the ballot will be held. I am expecting DHA9 ballot within 2 years because last major ballot of DHA8 was held about one year ago. A major ballot is needed every 3 years to allot a benefit plot to Maj Col Brig and Gen rank officers.

DHA 9-10 was renamed to just DHA9. You will get plot in DHA9 only.

Regards

observor replied on Saturday, May 21, 2011 03:41 PM PST 

If we take 2015 figures, this assumes around 13.67% annual depreciation of Pak Rs. against US$. No one can predict the future and especially forex is almost impossible to forecast however, if we take average of the past 30 years, Pak Rs has depreciated at an average rate of around 6% annually. The assumption is that our economy would continue to grow as it is doing now, no better and no worse. I am not aware of the rationale behind bloomberg projections but if these are true, they definitely assume that our economy would perform much worse that it has been performing historically.

my own feeling is that it depends on several factors A) commodity
prices B) remittances c) debt flows D) exports etc. Though we dont have forex to pay back IMF funds, we probably would go into another IMF program for paying our existing loans. i dont expects exports to increase however, debt flows and remittances might help in keeping the rupee depreciated at the historical average of 6% rather than that of 13.67% annually.

Lda avenue one and Mr Lahore123

Dear Mr Lahore123 aoa,its really very happy thing to see you on this forum replying to the questions about Lda avenue one,where we did not have any one expert on this society and people got no satisfactory answers to their questions regarding Lda avenue one.
please tell me what is the situation in Block C,where i have the plot no 1123.
Lda avenue one people always tell us now they have won the case from high court but the other party has appealed again.
if they return us the money its worth will be one fourth of the deposited money 8 years ago.
Thanks in advance.

Tahir replied on Friday, May 20, 2011 12:58 PM PST 

Too much competition for LDA Avn for being surrounded by number of almost similar standard of housing schemes. Here, the only scheme with expeditious development will excel. LDA is the govt department and everybody knows the pace of work in public sector. Therefore, the LDA Avne might be good for the construction of personal house in future(approx 5 years) but may not be lucrative for investors due to very slow growth in
prices. The lengthy litigation procedures by the courts may result in further delay in prices to increase.

E-11

I shall appriciate if you guys can tell me about the living conditions in E-11 and which part of the sector is best for building your house if you want to start now.

USA replied on Friday, May 20, 2011 09:43 PM PST 

Brother, You are talking about investing at least 1.5 caror for a 1 Kanal land. For that I would suggest that you visit the
location in-person to judge for your self. Sub sector 3 and 4 are good but all depends on the exact street.

Aamir replied on Friday, May 20, 2011 11:50 PM PST 

Since this sector has not been developed by CDA, therefore the infrastructure of different sub-sectors is not the same as is the case with rest of the regular sectors of Islamabad up till series No.11. You really need to visit in person to see which part matches your requirement and budget.
Anyway, generally here E-11/3 MPHCS is the best amongst all, Services may be rated second, E-11-/4 NPF is third and Federation and medical co-operative societies are of the same standard. The positive point of this sector is its
location and low prices with respect to the regular sectors.

E-11 Updates replied on Saturday, May 21, 2011 04:06 AM PST 

Aamir is right the only good thing is its
location and low prices as compared to regular CDA sectors. There are only a handful good plots left for sale. In my opiniion few plots around plot 90 in High Street which have opening towards Northern Strip car park are good as well as few in sub-street 88.

However, please keep following points in mind about E-11 which I noticed from my personal experience.

Drawbacks of E-11

- e/11 is developed by private societies and not by CDA. CDA refused to take over from societies due to the fact that they violated approved planning /map.

- Reserved plots for parks and green areas sold as commercial and residential plots, there is not a single park in whole E-11 sector

- Land for schools have been sold as residential and commercial plots, no school plot left on the map

- In all four sub sectors, land of nullahs have been filled, extra plots created and sold. This resulted heavy flood last year when these nullah over flooded and retaining walls were shattered. This is major concern which is till not sorted out. Anyone can see this situation in High Street, Stree 88 junction with main double road and E-11/1 medical. Medical Society specifically changed the nullah in to a small nali and also shelterd it without taking into account the flow of water when there is heavy rain.

- Improper development work was done. As a result this is the only sector in Islamabad where there are five story houses due to deep excavation and some of the houses have their ground floor on their neighbour’s roof particularly in High Street

- Whole sector has only one accessible double road which is unfinished for the last three years due to litigation with local MNA

- Societies have barred open access in various parts of E-11 by putting gates on their boundaries

- Societies have imposed monthly service charges on account of street lights, waste, and drainage, where as there are no street lights in most of the areas, no waste disposal system in place, no proper drainage system with sewage inflow at most places.

- Lot of residential plots have been converted into commercial plot and there is litigation on this issue within societies

-Half of the roads are still kacha where houses are constructed years back and presently covered with heap of dust of kacha roads.

- Most of the houses are rented out by the owners because the present living conditions are not conducive, that’s why the rent is much less even that of G/11

gh replied on Saturday, May 21, 2011 04:57 AM PST 

Agree on all account by E11_updates. I observed many of the same issue raised.

E-11 replied on Saturday, May 21, 2011 11:17 AM PST 

Guys thanks for your advise. actually I have visited that place and did not have a very good impression of the development work over there. But my problem is that this is the only area within my budget in Islamabad. So I want to get the point of view of people living there. Now if you guys can further help me in getting the best out of it or give me some alternate
location within a budget of 10-15 million for 1 kanal plot.

D-12 owner replied on Saturday, May 21, 2011 08:10 PM PST 

I would suggest to go for d-12.

USA replied on Saturday, May 21, 2011 09:08 PM PST 

If you are willing to live in a proper CDA sector in your budget D-12 is the only option. I myself am an owner in that sector. It is going to be the most beautiful and posh sector of Islamabad. You can start building there now and Insha-Allah you will see many families living there within this year including myself. It will take a couple of years to get thickly populated.

Bahria Town - Information

Dear CMY / Mr. Jameel,

I have been keen observer of this site for a month now. I have created alot of inclination towards Bahria Town for constructing a house. I need following information:
1) How populated are Blocks A, B and C of Bahria Town.
2) Which one the above blocks is the best for residential purpose as I am planning to construct within 1-2 years. My child will start to go to school in couple of years.
3) Are there any charges imposed by Bahria Town if i do not start construction within a years time. As, I'll be buying an already possessed plot.
4) Is there any public transport available for the society?
5) What's current cost/sq feet for constructing a house. I am planning for a 10 Marla.
6) What are House layout approval charges?
7) Utility connection charges?
8) Transfer charges?
9) What are the look-outs (as per your experience) for buying in Bahria

I know these are lots of questions but i do not want to ask one by one :)

tzk replied on Thursday, May 19, 2011 11:41 PM PST 

1) How populated are Blocks A, B and C of Bahria Town.
B is the most Populated block and C is the least populated

2) Which one the above blocks is the best for residential purpose as I am planning to construct within 1-2 years. My child will start to go to school in couple of years.
B is the most populated and most near to all facilities at present

3) Are there any charges imposed by Bahria Town if i do not start construction within a years time. As, I'll be buying an already possessed plot.
Bahria gives you 3 years from possession to build house without any penalty

4) Is there any public transport available for the society?
Bahria has their own buss service
5) What's current cost/sq feet for constructing a house. I am planning for a 10 Marla.
This is variable definitel above 1000 close to 2000
6) What are House layout approval charges?
7) Utility connection charges?
Total for #6 & #7 is close to 70,000
8) Transfer charges?
No Idea
9) What are the look-outs (as per your experience) for buying in Bahria
It is fool proof

Jameel replied on Thursday, May 19, 2011 11:53 PM PST 

very useful information already given by TZK, Only one advice, If you buy a plot is Bahria make it sure 100% that you are going to build a house in few years. Bahria is charging 75 times more no Construction charges than an average Private C operative society like Izmir. For example Izmir 2000/year and Bahria 150000/year for one Kanla these charges are same for 10 to 20 Merla, This is based on one notification issued by Bahria 1.5 ys Back, This is the only thing which prevented me from investing there,
I would ask more updated information from Holders of Bahria Town. Are people paying these charges in sector B where possession is there for many years.

@tzk: Thanks for sharing such a useful information.
Regarding Item No. 4 (Bus Service). Is this bus intended for local travel for anonymous people as well? I mean is it just like a common bus service that takes you from Bahria Town to other locations in Lahore and back? Are rickshaws and Taxis available 24/7?
Regarding Item 6 (House Layout): The Bahria Town must be having some standard / approved construction limits for covered areas as well as placement of gates etc. Whats the procedure of getting these approved standards within which you can have the design done by an architect?
@ Jameel Sb: thanks for the info Sir.
1)My question is if i buy a plot from the owner who has kept the possession for two years without construction, will i be allowed only one year thereafter or the three years start from the date the plot is transferred to my name;
2) One thing more, whats the definition of construction of house in Bahria Town. If i start construction, and later on fall short of money and could only complete a single storey. Now, though the house is ready to move in but its not as per approved layout, will i still be charged no construction charges after completion of allowable period?

I think it is for bahria residents only but not sure

Are rickshaws and Taxis available 24/7?

I saw some rickshaws on Canal but not inside bahria

Regarding Item 6 (House Layout): The Bahria Town must be having some standard / approved construction limits for covered areas as well as placement of gates etc. Whats the procedure of getting these approved standards within which you can have the design done by an architect?

They have a design center and their rates are much better than the market so it is better to go with them. 2 advantages (1. One stop Shop, 2. Economical)

@ Jameel Sb: thanks for the info Sir.
1)My question is if i buy a plot from the owner who has kept the possession for two years without construction, will i be allowed only one year thereafter or the three years start from the date the plot is transferred to my name;

I guess It starts with posession date

2) One thing more, whats the definition of construction of house in Bahria Town. If i start construction, and later on fall short of money and could only complete a single storey. Now, though the house is ready to move in but its not as per approved layout, will i still be charged no construction charges after completion of allowable period?

Good question. I would like to see answer to this also

Jameel replied on Friday, May 20, 2011 06:11 AM PST 

I am not sure about Bahria, but when I bought plot in valencia, they told me the possession in this Block is available for last 10 years, and new buyer who will start Construction will have to pay for all the period. As 2000 X 10 was not much so i agreed. I dont Know exactly about Bahria. I think as it is too much amount in Bahria so you need to make clear Before purchase, If some no Construction is already due. But if seller have already wasted 3 yrs of No construction period I think he will not pay you and you will have to immediately start construction, I am not sure but i remember for first 2 years the Penalty was less.
Regarding question number 2 there is proper definition of Construction, some people are opting to make single story grey structure, that means no wood work, no work in kitchen and Baths no floor only rough floor work but complete walls roof plaster etc , As rest of things come in furnishing so you can complete later, I am not sure you need to obtain a completion letter from them,
For second story there is some provision for approval for later stage though it costs a bit extra.
Due to too high no construction charges many people are making single story grey structure in Bahria,
After making home some society fees is due on you but at this stage it is far less than no Construction charges,
This is the benefit on coming to such blog site that you know many thing forehand which even many dealers dont know.

I will appreciate if some resident or Plot holder
update all above information more accurately.

Ayaan replied on Friday, May 20, 2011 10:27 AM PST 

Dear tzk and Mr Jameel,

Thanks for your time and answers. I think this information is of high importance and has to be in Black and White, because it impacts the price of plot and your cash flow to a great deal.

We await a solid
update on the above queries backed by proper references. I would like to see LRE replying to this.
