DHA VALLEY INQUIRY,

(51636)
Saturday, February 21, 2009 04:34 PM 

Assalam o Alaikum dear all,

I would highly appreciate your help regarding providing me answers to the following questions about DHA valley 8 MARLA plots.

I am purchasing one 8 marla plot which is supposed to be a corner plot on blvd./main road from a person who claimed that he already have paid first installment.

I will be payig first installment of 165,000 rupees to that person and then remaining installments to DHAI VALLEY as per his information that is going to be 70,000 every 3 months.

Here are my questions.

1. How much is the actual price of an 8 marla corner plot on main road/blvd. in DHA valley?

2. Does this price include development charges or not?

3. Have the actual plots/locations been alloted or not?

4. How much each installment will be and total how many installments?

5. Is this a good price and good investment for long term perspective. I like the idea that I have to pay 70,000 every three months which I can afford easily.

Thank you for your time and help.
Mazhar Ali

Dear Mazhar sahib,

At the moment files for DHA vally are available at loss, you can see the daily updates to rates to see the amount of loss. More you will pay to DHAI, loss will increase. Not a good investment either short or long term.

JJJ,
Thank you very much. Yes you are right that price is decreasing on daily rate updates.

Anyone else can answer my other questions please? I need to know the actual price of an 8 marla corner blvd plot in dha valley. I tried calling DHAI office but no one is answering the phones.

Thanks

Brother Mazhar, please see my comments below:

>> 1. How much is the actual price of an 8 marla corner plot on main road/blvd. in DHA valley?

70,000 x 12 = 8,40,000 plus down payment 1,00,000 plus membership fee 25,000 plus 20 % extra for corner or blved. Roughly this will cost you 10,00,000.

>> 2. Does this price include development charges or not?
I dont think so but I am not sure about the development charges.

>> 3. Have the actual plots/locations been alloted or not?
No, It have not been alloted any plots but location is close to DHA phase 2 ext.

>> 4. How much each installment will be and total how many installments?
Please see my comment above.

>> 5. Is this a good price and good investment for long term perspective.

In my opinion, this is very good investment for long term ONLY. Locatiion is very good, close to Bahria Phase 7 and Phase 8. The work on express highway has been started from DHA valley to Bahria Expressway. For more details, you can visit below website.

Please also do your own search or homework before taking any decision. Good luck

TM Sahib,
To be honest, there is not much difference between regular DHA valley and Oversese DHA Valley. I learnt a lesson from Bharia that they alway sell the land at higer price by using Overseas name. Very Sad! To prove my point, I would like to mention facilities for both porjects then I will leave on you to judge them.

Regular DHA Vallley facilities please check below link:

For Overseas DHA Valley facilities please check below link

Note: These projects will be successful or beneficial to investors if they hand over the plots on timely manner.

In warzon areas the price is not less than 100000/marla? in Wizrastan/afghanistan even in sirilank you will not find the same rates?

One in your hand its better than 2 flying?

decision is yours

The people are selling those are greedy, when DHAI announced the scheme they do not have money but they take load from the relatives and applied for big profit.

Jasa? I do not understand what you are trying to say?

Thank you very much all for your time, kind suggestions and advice. Much appreciated.

I certainly can wait for 5,6 years and installments are upto 3 years anyways.

As I said before I like the idea of affordable installments, so hopefully this will come out good at the end.

Thanks again.
Mazhar

DHA Valley ISD is not picking up the phones (I am surprised). I was considering buying something there but I have droped the idea.

Zain replied on Monday, February 23, 2009 08:06 AM 

I called toll free and finally talked with someone. They confirmed the price does not include developement charges. I am not buying anyways.

Mazhar Ali replied on Monday, February 23, 2009 05:24 PM 

Now another question came up.
How does the transfer works?
I am told that file will not be transferred on my name until 6 installments. Which means 18 months.
But I will be given the letter and a written stamp paper that this is my plot.
In DHAI files it will stay on seller's name for next 18 months and only then I will be able to transfer it on my name.
And these files can be opened for 3 months every 6 months so that selling and purchasing can take place.

And honestly I was not able to understand it completely.

Anyone here can help me understand this if some one knows please?

Thank you again for all your time and help.
