Development Status DHAI Phase 1 Ext

Lets please share views about latest development status of DHAI Isl Phase 1 Ext. As I know the ballot of DHAI Phase 1 Ext was held in early 2005 but unfortunately it has not so far developed. About few months back, I met DD Plans Mr Faisal at DHAI Isl Office who told me that the dev work is going on and will be INSHAALLAH completed within 1-2 years time. Anyone who know about its latest dev status may share his views/knowledge for benefit of the viewers. Regards to all

Renting property to a Government Office

I would like to have expert opinion of the readers of this forum regarding pros and cons of renting out property to a government office - a federal ministry.

I have a residential 1 Kanal property in New Muslim Town available for rent. I have got an offer from a federal ministry office - regional office in Lahore. The rental amount that they have offered is acceptable to me. However, since this is a government organization, they have conveyed to me following terms:

1. No security deposit
2. They will take possession after formal approval and signing of rental agreement by the Ministry without any advance rental payment
3. The first rental payment will be made after about 3 months of posession. They will make the payment for six months rent and then this continues after every six months
4. Increase in rental amount shall be according to rental ordinance i.e 28% after 3 years or max. 10% every year
5. Since it is a government office, they say there is no requirement for the residential property to be commercial


I have few questions now:
A. Would you consider it safe to rent out property to a government office keeping in view above terms?
B. What could be the pros and cons?
C. If the government officers misuse the property and do any objectional activity - it is understood that they will be responsible themselves but is there any liability on the owner also?

Regards
Ahmed

Dear Sir:

Wondering why there is no comment in reply to your post of construction facility available ad.
I am currently in process to buy a plot of 1kanal in VALENCIA TOWN BLOCK H. Being here in UAE it's really difficult to get a reliable construction services back in PAKISTAN. I don't know about the others but your AD is like a fresh breeze for me.
Kindly tell me lumpsum charges of whole construction with good quality materals considering the following;

GROUND FLOOR
1- 2bedrooms (12x16) with attached bath
2- TV lounge (WOODEN FLOOR)
3- Open kitchen
4- Drawing room
5- Store
6- A small single bedroom
7- A bathroom.

FIRST FLOOR
1- 2bedrooms ( 12x14) with common attached bath
2- TV lounge
3- Traditional closed kitchen
4- Room for indoor games & music.
5- Open balcony for arrangement of 8-10 chairs easily.

For fine tuning/additional facilities, 5% of total charges may be considered later on.

I have personal experience that if leave it on builder choice than they use 1/7 formula for CEMENT/SAND mixture.
What i came to know is that 1/3 is perfect for long term reliability and solidness.

I am very hopeful that you will takeout a few minutes from your precious time and will reply me accordingly.

thanks &
Best Regards.

Adil Saeed replied on Wednesday, September 1, 2010 03:17 PM PST 

Asim sahib please note we can construct your house in Rs 1350 per sq foot covered area. Price include top quality materials and the best possible workmanship. Please call me on phone for further details.

Abid sahib thanks a million for very kind words.

Adil Saeed replied on Wednesday, September 1, 2010 03:22 PM PST 

Asim sahib normally these ratio are used by people that make house.

Foundations are made of 1 to 7 upto damp.
All 4 inch walla are made of 1 to 4
All 9 inch walls are made of 1 to 6

But any ratio can be used if decided in advance by clients and price difference is very little due to very little increase in cement amount.

QUESTION replied on Wednesday, September 1, 2010 08:51 PM PST 

What are charges without material.
What could be the maximum rates and period need to complete
5 M
10 M
01 Kanal

Adil Saeed replied on Thursday, September 2, 2010 02:19 AM PST 

:What are charges without material"

Sorry we dont do any labor only projects. We do projects with quality materials that are decided before hand in writing and with labor included in rates. We work on very low margin already to reduce net cost for you so lobar only contract don't justify our time personal supervision and efforts. We could recommend you a good contractor at no cost but wont do a project on labor bases only .

Minimum rate of LRE for a house construction with materiel is Rs 1250 and it could go as high as 1800 depending on what type of kitchen you make or bath fitting and tiles and stones are chosen.

Faisal replied on Tuesday, September 21, 2010 09:15 PM PST 

What are charges without material.
What could be the maximum rates and period need to complete
5 M
10 M
01 Kanal
----------------------------------------------------------------
The per square rate of labour in lahore is 140/sq ft.
And the material used in constructing house is 820/sq ft.
Now the five marla double story house costs about 2000 sq ft = Rs. 1,640,000/= (complete cost)

Dear brothers,

I have received a letter from Formanites Society to deposit Rs. 300000 for further dev. charges of my 10 M plot in block L (No. between 178-183). I read today in the Jang that they are giving special offer with 50% discount which means to pay 150000 in total before end of Ramadan.
Can you please advice me should I deposit or not and is bettr to pay once or by installments in 2 years.
Also can you please tell me that do they have clear land of block L and when start the development as I have no information and never see the society. I was in abroad and now in Islamabad.
Thanks for your advice and comments.
Regards

eyeopener replied on Tuesday, August 31, 2010 03:23 AM PST 

Ask them first to show you your plot, may it be in undeveloped state, dont be fooled into paying more to them without asking them what happened to your previous payments for land and development charges.

Irfan Ahmed replied on Tuesday, August 31, 2010 04:10 PM PST

Hi Eveybody

My life saving in Pakistan is a 10 marls house, Faisal Town, Lahore - now I have moved to USA permanently with family. Now I want to sell my house and transfer money to USA. Here in USA my intention is to buy a house for living.

1-Question-1: How I can transfer money to Canada legally as per Pakistani and Canadian foreign exchange transfer procedure.

2- Question-2: Suppose I get legally $xx amount in USA, Is this $xx amount is taxable in usa? and how much %age of $xx amount is taxable?

From USA replied on Monday, August 30, 2010 02:49 AM PST 

From USA:

Correction: replace Canada to USA

AXY replied on Monday, August 30, 2010 06:15 AM PST 

Brother,
Bringing money in a country is never taxable as this benefits the country economy.The method to bring is to have draft from an international bank in pakistan and I am sure you should not have any problem,Please do verify this with some nody as I have never done this.

guest replied on Monday, August 30, 2010 08:24 AM PST 

I do not know the answer to question 1. Others can help you better.

Regarding the second question, US residents need to pay taxes on their worldwide income. You will need to calculate the gain you made (Sale-purchase price) and that gain amount will be subject to capital gains taxes.

As for loophole, you can show this amount as a gift. US citizens can recieve $13,000 ($26,000 if married) in gift without having to pay taxes. I say show, but this will not really be shown on your taxes. Only if you are audited.

Suggestion replied on Monday, August 30, 2010 11:51 AM PST 

I don't know your plans but suggest to rent out instead of selling the house.
