Is DHA Town phase 9 is good investment for next 2-3 years, I want to buy a 5M plot in DHA Town can someone guide me which block is good and what is price range for 5M plot in good block for investment point of view or if I have to built house in next 3-4 years. Please guide me if someone has information about it.

Thanks in advance.

Ahmad replied on Saturday, January 8, 2011 09:36 AM PST

I think it is a very good investment both for short term and long term. The plots facing parks and corner ones are good to buy but you may have to pay 1 to 1.5 lakh extra than minimum price. If you have at least 9 lakh, you can aim to buy one. Please ask a property dealer for current price. I am sharing this price based on internet prices. DHA plans to complete development work before December 2012 so it is a good time now to invest.

Isloo replied on Saturday, January 8, 2011 05:47 AM PST

Hats Off to "A common person"...really good answer
Fakhar, you will need to increase to your budget upto 1 million to get a suitable plot of 5-10 Marla in a reasonable location ready for construction...You can get one in Bahria, but plz check,,thats only my guess.

Suleman replied on Saturday, January 8, 2011 12:07 PM PST

fakhar honestly tell me one thing if u have only 4 to 5 lacks for plot of one kanal and plot should be ready to build it means u want to construct immediatly.but u know how much money u required to build single story house at one kanal 50 lacs.u dont have arrangement for one kanal plot then how u will build one kanal plot.please think over it.

Fozan replied on Saturday, January 8, 2011 12:24 PM PST

You may find plot in this range in some 3rd class villages.

Ahmad replied on Sunday, January 9, 2011 06:46 AM PST

Indeed Fakhar you need to revise your budget. As Isloo has suggested, it is better to focus on 5 to 10 marla and increase your budget a bit more. To give you a better idea about prices and location, you should check the maps section of this web-site and then search for prices in these societies. As you have limited money so you should be careful in investing and you should avoid investing your precious money in some bad scheme. May be you should think about 5 marla as well. I have seen such a beautifully constructed 5 marla houses in Johar Town (offcourse you can not buy there because 5 marla in Johar Town is 20+ lakhs). Revise your plan a little bit and then we will try to help you further.

Plaster @ home

Is the ratios correct for DHA Lahore?

Masonry (1:5) 1:5 Masonry with Chenab Sand
Plaster (1:5) 1:5 Plaster with Chenab Sand

Jameel replied on Friday, January 7, 2011 03:57 PM PST

That should be fine if watering is done for at least 3 days. And use best quality fresh cement.
Dont go for "best bargain" for cement to buy few Rupees more is OK if seller is called reliable in Market. there is liot of Mixing in Cement

jk replied on Friday, January 7, 2011 04:16 PM PST

Go for 1:4 and make sure there is no silt in sand Chanab sand is usually dusty. Preferably use Terbella sand . Certainly watering the bricks prior to plaster and soaking wet the plastered area for minimum 3 days is the key for good plaster.

Buy SRC (sulfate resistance cement) it is slightly expensive but pay back in later stage and fights well against corrosion due to excess of lime in bricks

abc123 replied on Saturday, January 8, 2011 12:34 PM PST

For masonry, even 1:7 is ok but with Lawrencepur sand.

DHA Parkview Ext

Reply:

Hi Mr.CMY,

Is DHA8 Parkview Ext is proper DHA scheme or it has also same dispute as the Parkview 8 has as most of the peoples are complaining about it.
If it is DHA scheme do you know when the ballot for extension is going to happen for it and where exactly it is located.

thanks,

Khan replied on Friday, January 7, 2011 01:36 PM PST

I'll be very surprised if ballot occurs soon, someone predicted it will happen December 27th :)
DHA does not have land for park view files, they had agreement with urban developers and UD did not honor the commitments. its really shaky and not advisable to purchase the file. rest is upto you.

Jameel replied on Friday, January 7, 2011 03:42 PM PST

Let me give you a brief history of Park view best of My knowledge and others are welcome to correct me.
It was launched in about early 90 s when files for one Kanal were sold in about one Lac each, from the beginning it had loose administration and had many irregularities among which the Top were

1. Lack of good development
2. Allotment of Plots [in map] on existing encroachments and
3. selling more Files without acquiring files

In early 2000 some development was done on available land but problem number 2,3 still existed.
About 3.5 ys Back DHA took over the Parkview due to its Lucrative Location. As you know all overseas people when they used to exit from Lahore airport the Door of Parkview was by itself a big advertisement for DHA. [Note:This particular advantage is gone after ring road is made.]

At that time DHA had small patch of semi developed land for 10 merla plots obviously it was not enough for the number of File. Instead of of Giving it to parkviw investor they Took over and announced DHA viilas in that area, small left land was balloted and only handful number of lucky people got plots one the developed land [first ever in DHA recent history to ballot developed land. I strongly suspect that they could not get expected number of Bookings for Houses and Left Land was balloted]
Now Park view Files holders were waiting for DHA 8 ballot and it was expected that DHA will do something. But again DHA disappointed them and "Sold" Surplus land in phase 8 on Installments 55 Lac per Kanal.

Now I am still strongly suspecting that DHA still have remaining Land in DHA 8, the Logic is Most of People who applied for Kanal plots got it, At least I Dont know any Kanal applicants who failed. If that is so DHA may Ballot it for Favor of Parkview file Holders. May be they wont do so to stabilize DHA 8 Plots which is losing fast.

Another bad fact for Park view and air avenue is that in spite of Good Location, Huge ring road had spoiled their access and camouflage them. Now DHA is turning eyes away from them.

MJM Dammam replied on Friday, January 7, 2011 10:10 PM PST

Just to correct Jameel Sahib - I am the basic member of Park View. This society was launched in 1988 and I purchased a 1 Kanal file direct from the Society office in installment with a total price of Rs. 45,000 and an amount of Rs. 66,000 was charged towards the cost of development charges.

ali11 replied on Saturday, January 8, 2011 01:10 AM PST

@MJM Dammam

Wow, 111,000/- for one kanal. that's sweet. Can we reverse the time please :) or may be not, i will have to go to college again :(

Jameel replied on Saturday, January 8, 2011 06:32 AM PST

Thanks for correcting me i had approximate figure and time in my Mind , would you share what is final outcome of your investment. Did you get plot on developed area or File.

MJM Dammam replied on Saturday, January 8, 2011 02:19 PM PST

Jameel Sahib - as I have been reading your comments on this forum, you seem to be well aware of real estate affairs in Lahore.

The Park View Society was launched in 1988 and there was advertisements in the then news papers. At that time Park View office was near Sherpao Bridge and the society did own some pockets of land near Sejpal and Malikpura. So I got interested and booked a plot of 1 Kanal for Rs. 45,000 by paying cash amount of Rs. 5,000 and the balance was paid later on. Computerized balloting was held on 6/11/1989 and I was alloted a plot in C block. The development charges of Rs. 66,000 were paid in installment. Due to delay of development and some other legal problems regarding acquiring land, the development could not taken place as planned. There were many ups and downs in the interim period. The PV came to shot when the new Lahore Airport became operational. Anyhow, total amounts of Rs. 600,000 was paid to PV management on account of development charges and later on when PV got emerged with DHA, an additional amount of 3 lac was paid to DHA. At the moment the worth of my plot is aound 72 lac.

Jameel replied on Saturday, January 8, 2011 09:02 PM PST

Thanks MJM sahib,
People like you are source of exact information, otherwise it is impossible to know real facts about 100s of societies

Nusrat replied on Saturday, December 24, 2011 11:49 AM PST

Can any one tell the fate of Park view DHA 10 marla files??? This was my first investment and I am feeling I have lost it....

anjum replied on Sunday, January 8, 2012 03:04 PM PST

There was no ten marla files in the initial map and the number of member was was only 2100 but aleem khan change the map and added 10 marla plots and cancelled about 180 plots about 107 member adjusted some were in the process of adjustment and about 52 cases are in different courts in which dha is loser.Aleeem khan create about 700 plots the ballot of which was never be done and all these plots were either in his hand or in the hands of big guns who enjoyed the money and location.All these plots should be cancelled and a criminal fir should be filed against aleem khan and imran should also see the credibility of the person other-wise his party will be full of rotten eggs

AOA All,

Parkview file prices for were as follows in the morning

1 kanal 20.25
10 Marla 14.25

In the afternoon the prices were reduced to

1 kanal 19.25
10 Marla 13.50

Why is that, any specific reason for the price change within hours?

LRE replied on Friday, January 7, 2011 11:43 AM PST

Dear sir, please read again:

DHA-8 Lahore Ex Parkview 1 Kanal Allocation File Available Seller(S) At 19.25 Lacs
DHA-8 Lahore Ex Park view 10 Marla Allocation File Available Seller(S)At 13.50 Lacs

We cannot reduce or increase prices. Only the Buyers and Sellers can do that. This is not price. Price is where Buyers and Sellers agree to make a deal. These are sellers demand prices or the amount they desire to sell at. The change in price as mentioned by you only means seller willing to sell at lower prices than previously quoted due to lack of buyers. These files are thinly or rarely traded these days and based on supply and demand of even 1 file rates can change up or down within hours.

If you want to buy at the quoted price give us a confirm offer. If you are a seller and want to sell you will have to compete with the above mentioned prices to attract buyer(s). Similarly it may happen that several buyers want to buy and the sellers change their mind or increase the demand. In that case the demand price will go up. That is basic market dynamics.

E-12 Current Status

Hello Islamabad Expertise :flg
since D-12 is almost developed and construvtion is on the way.
Is it time for E-12 now :h
what is the in site story, why CDA is not starting development at least in the area in hand, how much area percent wise is in hand with CDA :h
I will appreciate if some one who is well familiar can write the facts

Thank you for your time :) :) :)

USA replied on Friday, January 7, 2011 12:24 AM PST

In addition to the question posted by Mr. Waqas can some one also post current prices of plots in E-12 (50 * 90, & 40 * 80 sizes). My understanding is that there is no development planned in the near future, however I was to see if it is worth investing there even it is a 10 plus year plan.

Thanks in advance.

Aamir replied on Friday, January 7, 2011 02:10 AM PST

The only way forward for E-12 is to form a pressure group of all effectees as nothing substantial is taking place since ages.

Mian Nadeem replied on Friday, January 7, 2011 12:30 PM PST

Current Status E-12:
80 % area is in possession of CDA. Payment of 100 % is recieved by the old residents but they are not handing over possession and demanding a new pacakage deal.
Main issue is payment of BUP (build up property payment).
If issue of E-12 is resolved possession is possible within 3 years.

Wafaqi Mohtasib in his decision has ordered CDA to obtain possession of E-12 and start development work in one year. I was the pettioner in this case alongwith a lady allottee from Rawalpindi.

E-12 plot owners association is formed initiators are responsible Government Officers. I have also attended a meeting on .
Case will be filled in Supreme Court soon Inshallah.
Co-operation of all concerneds is requested.
Contact numbers of association are:

Waseem Malik replied on Sunday, January 9, 2011 01:41 AM PST

Great work done Mian Nadeem Sahib,

I would also suggest that key members of “E-12 Plot Owners Association” should work more on awareness about the “E-12 Plot Owners Association”. One way is to advertise it here on LRS website, which, you are already doing.

One can also consult reputed Islamabad Real Estate Agencies who look after properties of those who own plots in E-12. They can be requested to let their clients know about the Association and ask them for their participation, whatever way possible. The idea is to make a bigger group to develop more pressure and move development work forward.

Dear Viewers,
I wonder someone living in Swan Gardens Islamabad, how you like the area pros and cons..
facilities wise, safety and security wise, commercial areas etc
Thanks

Pindi replied on Friday, January 7, 2011 11:21 AM PST

Its a small society, located right on Islamabad express way, having all the required facilities. Commercial areas are quite active according to its population. On my recent visit, i observed that sector "H" is in depression having Swan Nullah passing through, will have problem of flooding during heavy rains.Security wise i did not see any serious problems and should be like other societies in the area.
Good Luck

Masood Khan, Rsident replied on Saturday, January 8, 2011 01:33 AM PST

I would differ with few of above mentioned observations. Soan is a river not a Nullah, but it has simly Dam upstream to store drinking water for Islamabad, so no question of flooding. Moreover it does not go through Soan Gardens and it is passes on one side. Rivers Garden come before soan gardens and Bahria Town after Soan Garden and both of those societies have bigger front with river as compared to Soan Gardens. It is not a small society it is huge and has all the anmenties. Good services for cleaning and security. It well developed and has all the amenties available. It is one of the best and fastest growing township in Islamabad. It is surrounded by Bahria, CBR, Agosh, Police Foundation O-9, Pakistan Town, PWD and River Garden just name some.

Thanks.

Pindi replied on Saturday, January 8, 2011 11:41 AM PST

I correct my self , its a Nullah passing through sector H of the society which is very much in depression as compared to other sectors. More over I call it a small society comparing with DHA and Bahria in the area.

wajahat replied on Saturday, January 8, 2011 06:21 PM PST

soan garden is a good society, and its quite big!!!!
however comparing it with DHA and bahria is like comparing a corolla with prado!!!!
these two have no comparison, both have their own pros and cons!!
as far as the sawan river is considered, it flows through alot of societies including bahria town, in last year's severe flooding some houses of block H that are extremely near the river got affected!!
Block H is selling like hot cake!!!

Masood Khan replied on Saturday, January 8, 2011 09:15 PM PST

Isloo, Soan Residancia is a scam from one of Mr. Zardari's friend. It was launched once about 5 years ago and CDA came heavy handed on the company and stopped it. Now this Sindhi Gentleman with his clout got NOC from CDA first then launched it in Papers, collected money from innocent people and disappeared. Feel sorry if you have invested in it. As far as I can Guess it will never materialize, there is no clue of that organzation anmore.

yeah alot of house are in the process of construction, I myself have an intention to build a house later dis year, number of constructed houses is less because gas was not available before, its been 3 months sinsce gas has arrived!!!
security wise its ok, I have heard from local residents that guards do walk in the society at night!!

wajahat replied on Tuesday, February 1, 2011 12:48 PM PST

river garden is an awsum society!!
i like it a lot!!!
I have also purchased a 7 marla plot over there, and within two months of purchase its price has risen two lacs!!!

Muneeb replied on Tuesday, February 1, 2011 06:54 PM PST

Wajahat, one of ma friend is selling his plot there .. He is asking around 35.. What do u think ? should i take it ? by the way when r u building ur own house there?

Muneeb replied on Thursday, February 3, 2011 05:44 PM PST

Wajahat plz reply as quickly as possible as i'm buying the plot...

wajahat replied on Thursday, February 3, 2011 10:38 PM PST

@muneeb
sry for the late response, bro if the plot is level 28-30lac i think will be a good price, am giving u a number of a dealer, he works for river garden, call him and ask about the current rate of kanal plot in that street, in which street are u buying??
i have got the map, i ll chk as well, Am selling my current house rite now, as soon as it sells, i ll go straight for the construction of house at river garden

Muneeb replied on Thursday, February 3, 2011 11:23 PM PST

Sir, itz street 27 and the plot is level ... yesterday i searched for the official website of river garden and they r asking sumthing like 42 for a kanal plot there ... Plz tell me that what should be the price of 10 marla house in bahria town which is near islamabad ... May be , i go for the house ther as it is fully developed and people r living there .. In river garden , there are very less number of houses . It look awkward to live in a street where there is a single house as there r i think 3-4 kanal houses ther . What do u think ?? plz advice??

wajahat replied on Friday, February 4, 2011 12:47 PM PST

@muneeb
awrite here is the story when renaissance developers started river garden the price of a kanal p[lot was around 45lac, later on prices got down and they still are, u can say the original allotees who got plots through balloting had to pay 45lac per kanal!!
as far as bahria town is concerned u cant be sure of the building material that has been used in construction, there are alot of investors involved in bahria town they construct and then they sell, but the quality of construction is really low!!
a 10 marla ready made house at bahria town phase 3, 4 will cost u around 80lac to 1crore 10 lacs!!!

Bahria pros and cons are as under:

1)bahria town is not near islamabad, bahria's distance from ISB highway is around 4 kmz, if u dont have car(that happens somtimes) u cant get in there quite easily, specially at night,and it becomes difficult for guests as well!!

2)bahria is well populated and well planned bt for that they take out handsome money from ur pocket!!

3)I went for river garden as its a 10 min walk from main isb highway, plus its neat clean and cheap, its a small society that means less khapp
:)

verdict:if u want to have a shashka life go for bahria, if u want to hav hassle free and u have an intention of building a house after 6 months go for river garden!!

i hope it will help, y dont u check naval anchorage??

wajahat replied on Friday, February 4, 2011 12:53 PM PST

Muneeb replied on Friday, February 4, 2011 10:07 PM PST

wajahat , i agee with u that river garden is a superb society but i think life style and other facilities in bahria is really awesome .. I think , i should buy a 10 marla plot in bahria phase 2 and build my own house there myself . The only thing that is keeping me away frm river garden is its less population and less no of houses . As i told u before that there r 3-4 kanal houses built there .. as far as bahria is concerned , it is a very beautiful society, secure and well organized .

Muneeb replied on Friday, February 4, 2011 10:26 PM PST

@wajahat , i don't like naval anchorage . I only like 2 of the zone V societies . 1 is Bahria town and second is river gardens islamabad .

@ahsan
chk ur mail, i met a developer over there, he z going to start 16 houses at the same tym, has also made 6 houses that are also in the pix, he selling them for 50 lac each, if u want to build a house after two years, its a good tym to buy

ahsan replied on Sunday, February 6, 2011 01:07 AM PST

@wajahat ,
Thanks for ur kind and help . one thing i wanted 2 ask that waht r the sizes of the houses that the developer is selling for 50lacs. i think hez asking 2 much for a house there . Secondly , why there are less number of houses there as it is a beautiful society and the prices r in range ? People have built more no. of houses in other societies like korang town , PWD , pakistan town , soan gardens etc. What is the status of kanal houses there as i can;t see even a single kanal house in the pics.. One other thing i need to discuss. plz tell that y korang town is densely populated ? And why people like korang town alot ? Thanks once again. Waiting for ur reply..

ahsan replied on Sunday, February 6, 2011 02:19 AM PST

@wajahat,
Thanks for ur quick reply. I think u have got alot of knowledge over these societies. Yaar , when ever u visit river garden again plz do take pics of kanal houses . another thing i needed to ask . that is the commercial area of river garden . how many shops r there ? Yaar , have u noticed while going to river gardens that when u going to river garden form islamabad , u have to go 1-2 km extra as the U-turn is infront of DHA. That makes river garden more distance away frm islamabad . I think they should make a turn in front of river garden gate . U r rite that river garden is much much better than korang town but it has an advantage that it is near islamabad .AND when we go to korang town , it doesn't feel that we r in islamabad . it is same as pindi.. One thing else , plz mention the price difference of kanal houses between Bahria and korang town.. Thanks!

ahsan replied on Sunday, February 6, 2011 02:22 AM PST

@wajahat ,
Plz also give me some info bout sawan gardens .. how is the society ? development? price tag ? and from other prospectives?

wajahat replied on Sunday, February 6, 2011 05:47 PM PST

@ahsan
actually wen i was searching a plot myself i did a lot of servery thats y i know a bot of these societies, commercial of river garden is still under construction, so no such shops rite now hardly 3,4 shops are there!!!
hahaha u r rite about the u turn there is a small uturn now in front of river garden, bt before that one has to cross the KAK Bridge and then was the uturn but there is a samll u turn infront of river garden

yaar kanal price difference between bahria and korang town around 10 lac to 15 lac

yaar some blocks of sawan are good, bt i ll prefer u to chk out CBR town its better than sawan gardens, dealoer will try to convince u that sawan is good, bt i think CBR is better

sawan garden is just like korang town, price of a 10 marla good plot is around 16-20lac

muneeb replied on Sunday, February 6, 2011 07:51 PM PST

@wajahat bhai ,

My friend who was selling his plot in river garden , is not selling nw. he is pretty convinced by reading all your posts here . he is saying that he ll start the construction in the end of the year as he is short of cash rite now. Now i think , i should go for bahria town !

@wajahat bhai ,
I made my 10 marlas house in bahria town phase 6 a year ago . main nai baray piyar sai apna ghar banaya tha . The prob is that i have to go to isb daily and jab sai mai wahan shift hua hoon , tab sai i m late for the office on every single day due to the root near the airport. I'm sick of waiting like for sumtimes2-3 hours in the root. Plz suggest me , what should i do . I still love bahria town but the only problem is the traffic jam on the road. Plz guide . Thanks.

wajahat replied on Tuesday, February 8, 2011 01:35 PM PST

@haider
yaar as DHA was expensive and was a bit far as well so did not do survey of that particular site, i think its DHA 2 or extension(more commonly known as commoners town), well i think that for the people who work in islamabad, DHA and bahria town phase 8 are very far, I had to sell my phase 8 plot in order to buy this one in river garden, haider if u want to buy a house or plot cheaply, do check out zaraj housing society if u want build a house for ur self other than investment point of view, its adjacent DHA but its cheap as it dont have this "BRAND name DHA"

@azhar
Dear this is the problem of all the ppl who use ISB xpressway at morning, there is no solution of this problem unless we all stand united against this SHO SHAW root thing, Pakistan is a poor country just imagine the amount of fuel that cars are burning while standing still in routes

I have asked my colleague who lives in Pakistan town abt ur problem he says that I come out from hme at 9am, and I mostly dont face routes, u try the same there is no solution we all ahve to bear with it

How r u buddy ? Yaar can u plz tell me that how much the construction of a double story kanal house cost in islamabad. I have a kanal plot in korang town . I'm thinking to build my own house there . But my friends are advising to sell this plot and buy a plot in bharia town and build my own house there . What do u say ?

wajahat replied on Monday, February 14, 2011 01:04 AM PST

@younus
am gr8, Thanx
construction cost has a simple formula
for an avg house it will be around 1000RS per square ft
and for an outstanding house cost will be around 1500Rs per square ft
hmmm b/w korang and bahria town of course bahria is better, my suggestion is to go for bahria phase 1-6

Waiting for ur reply . By the way, i called Muzahir for renting a house in river gardens. He is asking 25 thousand for the upper portion . I think he is asking too much for that . One thing else , whatz the status of commercial area and parks in river gardens islamabad . Thanks

Emaar housing society, i think u mean CANYON views??

25k for portion??
its hell of a money!!!
it should,nt be more than 17k

commercial area is under construction bt pace is slow, there is a park that is shown in the map, bt rite now its only in maps and there is nothing on ground, however there is a reserved place for park at the end of society!!

wajahat replied on Tuesday, March 1, 2011 04:36 PM PST

@hasnain
yaar there is no need to be get panicked, i think it s the rite tym that u start building ur house over there, as the gas is now available alot of houses are in the phase of construction over there, i think in 6 months or so there will be alot more houses ready to move in!!

hasnain replied on Tuesday, March 1, 2011 06:59 PM PST

@wajahat ,

Thanks for your reply . I think u r rite . This is the rite tym for building a house there . I wanted to ask that why is it less populated as compared to other societies over there ? As it is one of the most beautiful society . And secondly, why there r less number of kanal houses there ? I have seen many small houses build there , i mean less than kanal but there are 2-3 kanal houses . That is why , i'm , alittle confused . Another thing is that there is no shop there . plz advice

wajahat replied on Wednesday, March 2, 2011 12:15 AM PST

@hasnain
hmm actually some of the plots are reserved for the people of gilgit baltistan, its a small society comprising of 1000kanals of which plots constitute 50%, rest is parks, roads etc!!
i guess kanal plots are less in number over there, as far as shops are concerned there are only 2 shops currently operating in the society and yes its an issue, bt some commercial units are also in construction phase, it seems condition will improve in coming days, my wild guess is that in a year's tym things will be alot better!!

hasnain replied on Wednesday, March 2, 2011 01:10 AM PST

@wajahat ,

Kindly explain about why some of the plots are reserves for the people of gilgit baltistan ? And can u plz tell that how many families r living
there aprox. How is the security there ?

wajahat replied on Wednesday, March 2, 2011 11:49 PM PST

I don't know y are some plots reserved for gilgit baltistan ppl, I can't give u an estimate of number of families living over there as I have never tried to count
:)
so no idea, but alot of ppl r living there and i guess with the passage of tym this thing will improve as well, actually everybdy has got his reservation just like I and U have got in our minds, but gradually now am seeing a sudden increase in the rate of construction of houses there

sir price of 7 marla plot ranges from 10lac to 14lac

wajahat replied on Wednesday, May 11, 2011 02:24 PM PST

last nov i bought a 7 marla plot in river garden isb, my intention is to build a house there,so far i have completed all the paper work required and will now start construction in coming days, alot of ppl have been asking me the steps involved in the whole process, so here are the details

i bought the plot, transfer was done in the office of society located in saddar rwp, both seller and buyer are supposed to be present at the tym of transfer, transfer fee for 7 marla plot is 27500pkr, at that tym u get a receipt of tranfer fee, a week later u get a document with embossed name of the new owner

next step is to apply for possession, possession fee is 5000pkr, u get possession in 2 weeks and ur plot is marked at the site

meanwhile u have to contact an architect for map, river gardens has a panel of architects and u have to stick with that panel as they say that the map from other architects will not be accepted!!!
map charges are 10RS per sq foot(covered area) plus u need to present the soil test report as well, soil test costs around 15-20k, architect hands over the map and u submit it in to the society office, they take a vetting fee(approval fee)4-5rs per sq ft plus 10k security

it takes abt a month or so to get the drawing approved!!!

u get security back once the site office approves that the building has been made according to CDA rules and regulations and according to approved plan!!
now u are almost done with paper work and now from now on its all about bricks and cement!!

Khaqan replied on Saturday, June 11, 2011 02:18 AM PST

Shah replied on Tuesday, January 11, 2011 06:55 PM PST

There should be some enforcement agency who monitors the peroformance of societies. There must be bylaws to develp and hand over the plot to members within some specified time period. After lapsing of such, surcharge must be given by the developer.
