not true at ALL. they cannot give possession before 2010. lots of work remaining and still only few tractors are working.

June 2009 is the possession date for fantasy land. For D-12 second quarter of 2010 seems to be a better guess as the pace of work is slow. As for price of good location 600 yards, take a look at the following link to get an idea:

You may find a better deal if you shop around.

Without being sounded negative, I visited this place few months ago, and I am sure no one can build a house there even in 5 years

Dear Abdul,

Brother Mas has stated correctly about the price and possession time frame. 600 sq yrd plot range from 1.6 to 1.8 caror.

I visited D-12 two weeks ago. It appears that underground utilities are laid out. Roads are marked, but not completed. I think Sector D-12/1 & D-12/4 will be handed over this year. D-12/2 & 4 may take a little longer. The road link from E-11 is also close to completion.

In short if you can wait a year or two in the worst scenario, I think it is a good investment. It will be a beautiful and VIP sector of Islamabad. The pressure is on for the contractor to complete a.s.a.p.

Hope this helps

it is best time for selling d/12 plot,it is my personal observation that it is not good place because surroded by havely papulated villeges like shahllladeta and c/12 villeges and e/12 villeges,keep in mind golra is having revenue record and have resenable papulation and now a days people are making flats,before possasion it is good chance to covert your investment to e/11.

Atiq bhai,

You bring an interesting point about surrounding villages. However doesn't E-12 village issue applies to E-11 as well? The only village I saw that was close to D-12 was the one on the west side

I have two relatives in E-11 area who have told me that there are water and sewerage issues in E-11. Streets are narrow and unorganized.

I agree that E-11 is a ‘decent’ sector with very nice homes being built. However it is NOT a proper CDA sector which is very evident by the zig zag streets. It does not seem to be properly planned as other CDA sectors.

D-12 once completed will be a proper CDA sector. Streets are wide, sewerage line are large, and a good portion of the sector is dedicated as green area.

As for the village on the west side, that will eventually be D-13. Though 5-10 year out, CDA is already taking about acquiring the land for D-13. Not long ago D-12 was also a village as so was E-11.

Also be honest about disclosing that you are building your house in E-11.

Brother Atiq Raja I value your comments but I must mention what I find unconvincing. On Google Earth I do not see any significant village in C-12. The Shah Allah Ditta village is 1.25 miles away and that is aerial distance. Road distance would be a lot more. You can verify these facts at the following wikimapia link. It clearly marks Shah Allah Ditta Village. Zoom on D-12 and look at the smaller box towards its north-west.

http://wikimapia.org/#lat=&lon=&z=15&l=0&m=a&v=2

In any event I do not understand how a village that is completely out of the way and well removed from the sector be a problem. Saidpur village is larger in size and closer to F-6 than Shah Allah Ditta is to D-12. What has Saidpur village done to F-6?

It is to be noted however that D-13 and E-12 will remain undeveloped for a long while. That is why I value D-12/3 and D-12/4 more since they are closely linked with E-11, while D-12/1 and D-12/2 will act as a cushion. On the east is D-11 reserved for Ministry of Defense which does not sound bad either.

On the other hand Golra Sharif is right inside E-11 adversely effecting its organization, yet I think E-11 is fine investment. D-12 or E-11 that was the question in my last post. If you think E-11 is better investment, that is a valued opinion, but to completely dismiss D-12 is not justifiable. Previously at one point you mentioned that investing in D-12 will double the money in 2 years. I think these are both extreme positions. Truth lies somewhere in between.

Lastly, if flats in Golra can affect prices in D-12, why would they not affect E-11?

By the way it would be helpful if you can post E-11 prices. Regards.

I totally agree with MAS!!!!

I recently visited D-12 and found it to be very peaceful, away from any visible village, accessible via E-11/soon to be building Margala road, and not to forget with breath taking views of mountains.

E-11 has some good areas and some not so well. It's a mix of many societies blended together with already experiencing sewerage and other utilities issues experienced by some residents. Please note I am NOT implying that all areas in E-11 have issues. Perhaps this mix is due to multiple societies and how they build the infrastructure. With D-12 being a proper CDA sector one can assume proper standards being implemented through out the entire sector.

Prices of E-11 have matured where as the prices of D-12 still has some room to grow.

Reading the abrupt views of Mr Atiq Raja, I some times wonder .... One minute you can double your money and the other, it's time to sell … hmmm….

Once a man was travelling in train and he asked a boy traveling with him , hi where do you live ? the boy answered in Islamabad. The man asked where in Islamabad ? he said ( for example ) in D-12 the man said Oh I live in D-12 too where do you live in D-12 ? the boy answered in D-12/2. The man replied Oh I live in D-12/2 as well what house number do you live ? the boy said in house number 220. The man said oh..I live in house 220 too what room number do you live ?

In the mean time the other passenger traveling in the same compartment got involved in this discussion and said how come you two lives so close to each other but do not know.

They replied we are father and son but killing the time.

Here we all who have participated in this discussion are friends and brothers too I fully under stood the point of view of every one and will be wholly responsible of the decision I am going to make but would like to thank all of you who have participated in this discussion.

Once again Thank you very much brothers for participation.
