salam to all,

Dear readers i need advise on buying a 1 kanal plot. Actually i am looking for such society in which i can build house now to live and it will pay me back as raise in price of land after some years. My preference is near expo centre or shaukat khanum hospital as there are valancia and some other societies. Bahria town sector C on canal bank road can also be an option due to structure plan ring road. Please advise which option should i adopt?

thanks
Daud replied on Thursday, April 28, 2011 01:04 AM PST 

AOA
first of all bro, ur price range to shortened the big search issue,if u r looking for future and wanting best on that part of shaukat khanum , then this option is lil difficult for now but for later it ll be the best in that area and that ll be OPF, it ll be the most beneficial society on that part investment and facilities wise.valencia always good, nfc and wapda and do look for tariq garden. if u wish to go for raiwind road, then fazaia and awt2, do look for these specially AWT 2 its also a society to be seen in future.baharia sector c is also good.
BUT ALL DEPENDS UPON UR BUDGET.
plot_buyer replied on Thursday, April 28, 2011 01:54 PM PST 

Daud thanks for your thoughts,

i have budget in which i can get one in valancia, bahria town, opf, etc.

OPF: Current situation of opf society seems that it will have this poor development situation always in future as it has for 20 years almost. nobody takes care of this society. it is only luck that it has got location on main road nothing else. can anybody tell what is the prediction about this society's future development as its current situation is seriously "yateem".

Valancia: it is good society but will it pay me back after several years in the form of raise in price of land? :P

Bahria Town Sector C: it is also good due to its development and security wise but it has distance problem. will this distance shorten in future due to ring road? will it pay me back after several years in the form of raise in price of land?

Fazaia and AWT2: i think it is not worth to invest in these societies as nobody takes care of them :)

brothers can you put your thoughts here? i will be beneficial for all of the people looking for such kind of options.

thanks.
Habib replied on Thursday, April 28, 2011 03:54 PM PST 

There are only 3 worth mentioning societies in that area,
Valancia
wapda and
NFC
all other societies like
Iqbal Vanue, airline, archtect, PIA, GCP, abdalian and Johar town have poor infrastructure and not well mintained most of these have better approach that WAPDA valancia Ect, but no one want to spend one Cror on the house when neighborhood is not good.
Would it pay back to buy in Valancia/NFC there is some chance, in 2007 me my brother was looking a plot in Valancia at that time Price of Kanal was 30 to 33, At that time DHA 7 was 36 to 45 ie the same price as it is today, But Now valancia has gained 10 Lac for One Kanal. If property market remains like this then only ready to live societies will gain.
for pure investment and gain in price there are 3 Options at this Moment
LDA 1
DHA 7
DHA 8
DHA 7 is best out of these.
lahore 042 replied on Thursday, April 28, 2011 04:40 PM PST 

HABIB i like you over-view.This is best ever suggestion and true suggestion you have made.I 100%agree with you.

1.Lda avenue is purly for investment right now.It is for investment and people who want to make house after 3-4years.It will gain rise in price in near future.

2.Valencia is for those people who wants residential right now or within 1 year.
3.I have no idea of DHA7.
Kindly someone guide me price of plots on main roads on 150 or 100 feet road and what was its status right now.(complete over view)

model town extn
Dear friends


My brother's plot of 2 kanal loacted in Model town extension has been taken over by LDA on staurday morning.
The plot was purchased approx 23 years back and now the plot location is prime
The owner(my brother) is not living in pakistan thats why he never built his house .boundry wall was made and servent quarter was buit where servents were living with famly
The owner has been notified by LDA that they have got instructions from NAB/FIA that the plot has been sold by LDA illegally 23 years ago.Instead of selling the plot through auction LDA sold it to owner bypassing some internal chennal.
My brother purchased this plot through its first owner and have been paying govenment taxes of the property from last 23 years

I ask one question, is it possible that after such along time LDA can take this action.Now we all are out of pakistan and have no clue how to deal with this case

one of our family member has hired a lawer to follow up with LDA but this unfortunate incident has really disturb us

need your kind comments and advise

My brother's plot of 2 kanal located in Model town extension has been taken over by LDA on Saturday morning.
The plot was purchased approx 23 years back and now the plot location is prime
The owner(my brother) is not living in pakistan that's why he never built his house .boundary wall was made and servant quarter was built where servants were living with family
The owner has been notified by LDA that they have got instructions from NAB/FIA that the plot has been sold by LDA illegally 23 years ago.Instead of selling the plot through auction LDA sold it to owner bypassing some internal channel.
My brother purchased this plot through its first owner and have been paying government taxes of the property from last 23 years

I ask one question, is it possible that after such along time LDA can take this action.Now we all are out of Pakistan and have no clue how to deal with this case

one of our family member has hired a lawyer to follow up with LDA but this unfortunate incident has really disturbed us

need your kind comments and advise
addition
The property is officially on the name of my brother.
Is there any way LDA can seize this plot from owner
Is it some qabza group within LDA who has done this or actually LDA can take this kind of action on aplot which is sold 23 years ago???

CS replied on Thursday, April 28, 2011 12:17 AM PST

To whome you have purchased?

Irfan replied on Thursday, April 28, 2011 12:29 AM PST 

@akbar are you talking about the plot that is located at the back side of Pace shopping mall model town link road ?
Habib replied on Thursday, April 28, 2011 07:32 PM PST 

It is unfortunate situation they should arrest the the officer who executed that transfer and the man wh purchased in Fraudulent way than taking that property back.
You can File case aginst LDA for the damages

Dear members Assalam-0-alikium,
I am new on this forum and i want some advise from you people.I have seen people helping ech other on this forum so i decided to get some sincere advise from you people.

1.I want to buy a plot in LDA Avenue 1.What is the price of 1 kanal plot on 120 feet road in F block.Is it Beneficial to buy plot there.(construct that after 5 year).

2. whats the price in Gulshan-e-lahore for 1 kanal plot.

3.Valencia plot price of area 1 kanal on main road.

Kindly reply me.Waiting for your sincere advise.
Thanks
Regards
Nadeem Shah
Habib replied on Wednesday, April 27, 2011 07:57 PM PST 

These 3 are entroely different products and you cant compare them whith each other,
LDA avenue 1 basically an investment product. It is LDA area which had too much problems due to litigation still main facilities are not laid dowd, some areas are presumed to be clear based on on the fact that there are some roads there but still there are many pockets of unoccupied area, LDA office does not guide you to tell which area is clear or not they have 2005 date fed in Computer eversince ground realities have changed a lot. There is lot more litigations and many areas have cleared as well. LDA avenue 1 is heading in same style and pace as was Johar town 30 ys back and took too much time to materialize there are many Qabza and records issues in Johar Town and same I am expecting in LDA 1 in futhre, the Facilities will also be supplied slowly as happened in Johar Town. So there are uncertainties involved and that is why it is investment gards, Kanal plot on 120 Feet Road should be in about 40. As most LDA societies are loosely administered so there is a chance that some commercial activities may start on main roads, though it looks clear that you cant make plaza, Commercilazation has been stopped by LDA but even if allowed in next Govt the fees will not be decrease and that is One cror 40 Lac per Kanal Now.
Gulshane Lahore is small residential colony with mostly 5 merla houses below average infrastructure, Not a recognized Coperative[illegal] society good approach but not suitable for any thing more than that, I think due to Lack of coperative society office it is tranferrred mostly by registry and intiqal like in Patwar Khana.
Valancia is a Coperative society Like DHA, it is 90% a residential societies very tightly run by its bye Laws and no Commercial activities are allowed illegally. All valancia is possession and mainly the residence of people who want to live in relitvely bigger posh houses like Kanal and 2 Kanal, On 100 and 120 and 150 Roads all plots are 2 Kanal, All valancia have all the facilities like Roads, Elec, Gas water Cable etc all supplied by society itself.
I dont see any similarity between above 3 areas all 3 are choices for different needs and taste.
Nadeem Shah replied on Thursday, April 28, 2011 01:16 AM PST 

Habib bahiee thx a lot for u time and briefing.
You r rite that in some area of lda,there is problem of land.But in F and j these blocks are totally clear.I have checked that,there will be no issue of any litigation or something like that.
1 kanal plot on 120 feet road is abt 50 lac.I know in lda,development is slow but i hope after 5 year there will be much more activity in that society.So i am thing for long terms not for short terms.
Kindly guide be is price is right 49-50lac on 120 feet road near commerical?
As it will be commercial in near future.
thanks
asif replied on Thursday, April 28, 2011 02:01 AM PST 

we cannot pridict lda avenue future because.....johar town ....khyaban e jinnah road is not commercialized lda avenue is take minimum 15 years....it has a large area.....it takes so long time u think 10 to 15 years.....is better ......there are a large options for people this time to buy property.....2 to 3 years takes to completed lda avenue.....then people build houses.....it is boundary society not like a open scheme.....investment is good but i prefer a place where people made there houses rapidly......lda is started in 2003-4 now 2011 u better suggest urself.......u see lda avenue map has a large commercial area indicated........if u think i m wrong u suggest me too......dont beleive any estate they just want to earn some money......

Another top school opening it's campus in DHA Phase VI soon
Just got the news today that after Beacon House Newlands. ICAS one of the most respected schools in Lahore is also opening it's campus in Phase VI very soon. ICAS belongs to the same group of schools as KIDS Campus which is from Montessori to Class 2 with it's campus in Phase V. After class 2 the students are shifted to ICAS Gulberg but now they will be able to stay in DHA.

Really good news for DHA Phase VI plot owners and residents.

I knew I will be in trouble for posting rates in this detail :). First please note its 70 lacs not 76 lacs. Second every plot has its own value. These are general rates. If you dont like them please dont pay attention to them. Its not possible for me to post 100% accurate rate each and every day for each plot .

AOA,

I'm looking for expert advice regarding investing 10 million in property.
Main goal is to get max rental income based on 10 million RS. So far i have done reasearch and found some properties and result is that max rent
with 10 million investment is not more
55,000 rs per month.I like to know from experts what kind of property should i invest. I have these options available:

1- F-10, 1200 sq ft flat for 53 lakh and rental income 29K per month

2- 5 marla house in islamabad around 80 lakh gives you 40k rent

3- shop 300 sq ft in iqbal town for 95 lakh and rent is 44k per month

4- 1400 sq ft office in liberty area for 80 lakh and rental income is 53K

5- 12 marla semi commercial and rent is 50 k from school. Price 11500000 rs

6-700 sq ft E-type flat in capital are selling for 34 Lakh and rent is only 15 k.
I like to know which option is better in the long run.
abc123 replied on Wednesday, April 27, 2011 12:16 PM PST 

Point wise comments are:
1- Flata sre not considered "property". Flats are properties in air ...
2- Not beleiveable. Do tell us such a paradise point. I mean which sector of Islamabad.
3-A better option.
4-Ssame as 1
5- Perhaps the best of all .....

Of course choice is yours ............. :)

Javaid replied on Wednesday, April 27, 2011 02:19 PM PST 

Not sure but if you can buy two plots of 5 marla each in Johar Town, Naheman Iqbal or nearby cheap societies, construct double story houses using a cheap but honest contractor - the toal cost will be around 10 million and you can rent each portion for around 16K to 18K - this way your monthly income would be areounf 65K to 75K.

Hope this helps.

Javaid replied on Thursday, April 28, 2011 02:51 AM PST 

Dear AG
I am not sure about the actual rent values in Bahria Town - however in my opinion, people living in Bahria usually go for purchase rather than rent option...rental markets are hotter in areas which have close proximity to central markets, colleges, offices, etc. However you have good options in hand in terms of investment and I hope ALLAH gives you best halal rizq for you and your family.

Houses give you maximum 6% annual House rent Plus you gain about 10% in value of property annually, But there is headache in 50% of cases

Where are you from?? what the reasons that you are interesting to invest in Pakistan.. completely introduce yourself before giving such an advert..

Dear Hello,

I am a Pakistani expat, I work in Africa. I earn good money so I want to invest in Pakistan since it is my home and close to my heart. I want people to benefit from my money. I don't want to invest in Middle East or somewhere else with Western economies benefiting most of it.

I will be in Pak in May. I am interested in running businesses/partnerships/new ventures. Healthy investment is available esp in the food/drinks etc sector.

Investor2137,

It is unfortunate that we have to be skeptical here, but it is not without reason. So assuming you are what you say you are, I'll give you some free advice since there is some common ground.

I was for a short while an expat in west africa myself. I now run my own small business in pakistan, set up primarily from the very hard earned income. While abroad I also invested semi-actively with a capable relative/friend (meaning regular input in everything, but just not present on the ground). He ignored our joint business causing it to fail, to his own financial loss as well, while his own business did well coincidentally. I still can't figure out the thought process, but I learned a lot.

There is only one reality here. The only business to invest in pakistan is where you are present yourself and you control it. There are two linked reasons 1) Lack of trust. you can trust NO ONE. even if they don't outright defraud you, they will never accept that their efforts may benefit someone (that is why partnerships fail here). 2) No sanctity of contract, no ability to enforce. This may be why #1 is so prevalent.

Save yourself much grief and money. If you want people to benefit from your money, you must bring your own acumen along with it. Money is not in short supply in this wretched society, good intentions and competence are.

Investor2137,

I fully agreed with Mr. OGRA. Infact i am a victim too. Some years back, i got a proposal from my best friend to start a new buisness. He was running and still running his personal business.

He send me the full report on new business. We agreed on terms and sent funds to start the business. I sent 300 times more money than was agreed in initial talks.

Begining i was getting twice monthly reports and then he stopped doing so and even no contact. Everyone my friends, reletives advised me not to do business but i told them he is my best friend. He will not betray me. and then i got the result. everyone was right except me. Although the money i lost, couldnt effect me (Humdolillah) but gave me a good lesson. I recovered much amount later but still a good amount is un-recoverable.

I got this lesson after investing lot of money. But i want you to get experience from me and not to invest with anyone. If you want to do business do by yourself. One more thing, the day i invested with my friend from that day his business got double or trippled while our joint venture clashed. God knows what is the reality.

beautifully explained Oga. Unfortunately, Most of overseas go through this at some level. If we had better thinking in Pakistan, foreign investor and local entrepreneur would have played big role in development of this country. small business is what drives an economy, not the giant projects
