dear shafiq
i also lives in london, and visited lahore, i visited several socities and found edengardens ferozepure is an excellent
location. i bought two houses there,at least eden is a reputation regardless its delay tactics,which i believe is not a serious matter,and now i heard that ferozepure is now looks more beautiful than pst when i visited. there is an interchange of ringroad near this society, which makes its approach more convienient and approachable.everyone having its own opinion, but i personally recommend edengardens of ferozepure road, it is ofcourse a landmark of future.

Basement construction comments by Pardesi, Jeddah

Pardesi Sahib, this is with reference to your comments on post no 52514 dated 11 April. You have indicated grey structure cost of basement as Rs 1500 per sq ft. Please let us know if this cost includes the cost of Raft at the floor of basement. please also give construction details of the raft i.e. thickness etc. you may also give clear height of the basement. thanks.

Pardesi, Jeddah replied on Wednesday, April 13, 2011 09:43 PM PST 

Basement height from inside is 10.5ft. Raft's thickness is around 8-10" but thickness only doesn't mean anything it is the horizontal DPC 2" thick with concrete cubical frame alongwith layers of bitumen & jute cloth & a layer of polythene sheet for damp proofing.

Zahid replied on Thursday, April 14, 2011 12:35 AM PST 

Pardesi Sahib, I am grateful for your prompt reply. Thanks. I shall appreciate if you can send me by sms your e-mail address on my cell phone which is .

slam to all,
*************HELP NEEDED*************

which is the best and secure way to pay for contractor/Thekdaar for his labour charges?

I m going to build my home in jubilee Town and some information about Thekedaar/Contrator and what is per/QF charges (Labor Only) now a days?

Thanks to all.

Khan replied on Wednesday, April 13, 2011 02:01 AM PST 

I do not know what is your experience in construction. You should pay keeping in mind how much work has been completed. Draw out a schedule of payment depending upon the stage. Like Foundation after DPC. Then On the Lintels for door/windows. Then on stage of lintels on ground floor etc.Be very careful and talk to different contractors about their schedule of payment.

Sultan Habib replied on Wednesday, April 13, 2011 12:48 PM PST 

In the construction industry it is hard to oversmart a petty labor contractor. He will always take more than the work done. Avoid petty contractor, deal with a Construction Company/Builder having physical
location(office) A good company may cost 10% to 15% more than petty/ street contractors but then it is worth it. Write the contract with payment schedule according to the stages of work.
If you deal with petty contractor,then take a feed back from the site from some one whom you trust. Work it out on an Excel Sheet with the number of masons and laborers employed on daily basis by the Petty contractor, this will give you fair idea about the cost of civil works done and he will not be able to take substantially more money from you then the work done on ground.

Alternative for wood work for doors windows

I have heard/seen some people using alternatives for wood work i.e. steel (looha or similar) for doors and windows.
Is it reliable and how much is the cost difference between the two?,
because using deeyar wood is too expensive i think and the other wood work is not much reliable because of deemak etc?.

DHA Man replied on Wednesday, April 13, 2011 04:05 AM PST 

DHA has to develop DHA Homes, otherwise they cannot develop Valley!
3500 units of DHA Homes will surely make a good impact on the Valley’s buying value.
They have started DHA Homes on a fast track. One can go and see the development work on ground.
There is no more mystery in DHA Homes now! You can see tremendous work going on now!

If DHA fails to deliver the units in time, they have to pay the rents to the owners on monthly basis!
Well they are paying there in DHA Villas! I cannot see any reason that they would refuse to pay for DHA Homes?

samir replied on Monday, April 18, 2011 06:52 PM PST 

By the Way,
Places like bhara kahu (Zone 4 ICT) are even cheaper than 1 lakh per marla. infact they are more like 80k these days.

So DHa is not cheap.

xyz replied on Tuesday, April 26, 2011 04:57 PM PST 

DHA valley is cheap because the other places are only charging land price. DHA valley brochure indicates that the price charged by DHA includes development charges as well. That is why it is cheap

Mr. Hussain you have misunderstood what "Overseas Pakistani" wants to enquire about. Looks like he is intersted in purchasing a plot in DHA phase 6. He has the plot number in hand, but wants to know who is the actual owner of the plot in question he intends to buy? Is there anyway to know the owner of the plot, please help him.

DHA Dealer Victim replied on Tuesday, April 12, 2011 08:58 PM PST 

Dear Overseas
I am also living out of Pakistan and a victim of DHA phase 6 scam so be very careful regarding your question no you won't be able to and rest assured dealers won't let you coz there will be at least 3 dealers involved between buyer and seller
Just avoid as buyers like us strengthening the current market hype / bubble in this phase which is bound to burst sooner than later

ALF replied on Tuesday, April 12, 2011 09:15 PM PST 

Fully agree with Victim, i have also suffered from many dealers involved between buyer and seller. All the
prices quoted for DHA (files + plots) are inflated because atleast 3 or more agents keep their commission plus they charge much higher to the buyer whereas the demand from Seller is quite less. The dealers are not realizing that wrong doing will not help them in the long term.

CMY replied on Tuesday, April 12, 2011 09:32 PM PST 

I agree there are many bad dealers in market. But you should try to go through a good honest experienced registered dealer in
DHA Lahore. In many cases a good honest experienced registered dealer can make a deal for you at a price that could save you few lacs. I will give an example.

You are military person looking to sell a XYZ plot in DHA 6. Your plot actual worth is 65 lacs ( Any good dealer could have got you this XYZ plot with his hard work at this price due to his negotiation skills and networking with 100S other dealers ). You got a part time dealer friend who also worked with you in past in military. Your part time dealer friend finds a buyer who also worked in military n and told him your XYZ plot is worth 68 lacs. All three guys got togather into a face to face meeting and plot was sold at 67 lacs. Keep in mind this XYZ plot If offered in market could not be sold at more than 65 lacs but in this case it was sold at 67 lacs. None of these guys in this case is unhappy. Seller got 67 lacs a 2 lacs extra. Dealer got 67000 + 67000 commission from buyer and seller. Buyer got plot at 2 lacs more than market going rate but he so proud he got a plot after meeting with the true owner and paid him all the money directly. Was this a good deal. Do you think it was a good deal.

A better way to deal here will to make sure you buy a plot for not more than a going market rate.Your plot have be to check first the market in detail and than buy a plot at going market rate from your friend or relative. The best way to judge the market rate is to offer plot for sale to few dealers very next to plot you want to buy. After 2 to 3 calls you will get actual worth of plots. Above example in military is not just an example but a fact. Every month I see many transfers from military to military where buyers loose big and have paid many lacs more than their worth.

Many people think they are too smart and they can get a better deal by posting ads online or in newspaper. But fact is a seller that is selling his plot online is many time smarter than you and in 99% is asking price min 20 % more than the going market rates. check all online ads on Lahore real Estate in past from direct sellers and compare their asking prices to our posted plots prices. I guarantee you you cant find me a single real deal where a seller is selling at or under market rate. All direct sellers are asking too high prices until they find some one to sell. An online seller keep posting his ads online for months until he find some ill informed online buyer. A dealer cant ask you high rates like him because he have to survive / compete in market with 3000 other dealers. Also If you are buying a plot from a long time friend or relative its your dream you will get a good deal. 99% time your friend or relative have made a very bad investment and he is just going to take of load from his shoulders and put it on your shoulders with a direct deal. A friend or a relative only offer you to sell a plot when he have completely failed to sell the plot to dealers in market at his booking or purchase price and just not willing to take a loss or keep sitting on that loss. Due to shame of getting cheated not a single person may admit how he got cheated but I get many calls where people say ok I guess now I have to sell my money loosing plot to some one working with me here because its not possible for me to take a big loss.

Ask from your friends who bought a plot from friends or relatives. Most likely in 99% cases buyer is now loosing big money because he got a plot from a friend or a relative. Buyers thought they will save some money in transfer costs or commission but fact is he has paid min 20% to 25 % more than going market rates.

Got to run for PT. Talk to you tomorrow.

Dear CMY,

ALF replied on Wednesday, April 13, 2011 02:26 AM PST 

Dear CMY

You are right in saying that all dealers are not the same. However, there are far too many eager to rip the buyers and to some extent may be sellers as well . As for my personal experience, i didn't went through any relative or friend. I contacted a recognized dealer, who has office in perhaps every phase of DHA (you may have guessed already) and the deal was not getting finalized because even after taking the token, they were keep on increasing the price and finally i have to call off the deal. They keep on calling me afterwards at reduced price but i lost the trust in them. I understand that it has nothing to do with you and other honest dealers and i sincerely appreciate your efforts through this website that at least save us from making a bad deal by knowing the current market. There is only one request i would like to make. I know that many dealers do contact each other in the market and people like me will highly appreciate if this concern is being raised to all dealers so that they can understand the mistrust and concern of the potential buyers and sellers.

CMY replied on Wednesday, April 13, 2011 03:06 AM PST 

is there any way to get the information about owner of plot in DHA phase 6 from plot no?

Yes Its possible. Call DHA office or call me to know how to do it.

Askari 11 Lahore Email Answer That May Help

Ch. sb.
I am interested in buying a 10 or 12 marla house in askari 10 or askari 11. What is your opinion about choosing 10 or 11that will have upside potential. I am open to discuss other alternatives too. I need your professional advice .
Thanks
Dr.

-----------------------------

AOA,

Dr sahib thanks for email. I think its a very good option for investment gains and for rental income. Scheme is fraud free qabza group free and a great option for overseas Pakistanis.
Location is great and prices are still very low compared to DHA 5 where 10 marla houses go for 110 to 130 lacs. Askari 11 is far better option than DHA phase 5 Lahore 10 marla houses.

CMY,

But arn't these Askari schemes have restrictions on sale and transfer? My understanding is that these can only be done on Power of Attorney, which have built in risks. Please advise if so.

I feel your comments should have this rider comment also.

Thanx.

Dear Experts and Other members of this forum
I want to know about the society named " LDA AVENUE 1 "
Whats the price range of 1 kanal plot there.
Specially in F Block (where i have heard possession is ready )on 120 feet road (in front of main commercial) and on 100 feet road (which is next to 120 feet road) in F block.I am interested in that.
Reply me
thanks

Mian Sajjad replied on Tuesday, April 12, 2011 02:11 AM PST 

If it is on the main road which is going towards Jublee town its price range is 50-60 (max). Once I offered for 37 or 38 F(I do not remember Exact Number)60 but owner did not sell.These plots price is bit high as these could become commercial after 5-10 yeras.

Pakistan replied on Tuesday, April 12, 2011 05:35 PM PST 

Mian sajjad

i also have noticed this thing that price of F block is higher than other and especially plots on 120 feet road (opposite to main commerical),there are really very much expensive.I am thinking to buy on 120 feet road but price is too high.What you will suggest?whats about on 100 feet road which is next to 120 feet road about commerical point of view?

Mian Sajjad replied on Wednesday, April 13, 2011 09:22 PM PST 

Hi,

Do what your heart says. Plots on main(coming from Khaban-e- Jinnah -Shukat Khanam)and going towards canal through Jublee and Izmir seems better to me. F plots on 120- main, seems a better choice.If u give me ur
contact e-mail I could give you direct contact No. of few owners in that block and you can directly deal with them. This could save you some money, as dealers are big fraud.

Best luck


Pakistan replied on Wednesday, April 13, 2011 10:05 PM PST 

OK fine,
If you have any person
contact information regarding 10 marla plot (corner will be better , then also send that information with plot no to me)and its demand.
