Dear All

I intend to purchase a plot in W or T block DHA-8 Lahore to construct house after 4~5 years. But one plot offered by one dealer is in X block between 991-1000, it is two side open, 100 ft road at front & perhaps 40 ft at backside. please suggest :-
Is it a good block ?
Is two side open a plus point or negative point ?
Please suggest, Jazak Allah
I personally feel that it is close to ring road, a lot of carbon mono oxide will be present in atmosphere all the time which is harmful for health.

T is better Than W or X, I think Phase 8 need a bit Thorough Search before purchase. The Main problem is very deep pits in DHA 8 these are more in Block W and X, some of these pits are 30 feet deep.
4,5 ys may be difficult time as deep Pits will make development work very Slow.
U Block is uniformly 6,7 Feet deep. Tat is also bit better Located go for that as it is surest.
You have advantage of Existing Road Going through DHA 8 and can see almost all Blocks, See the encroachments on Google earth or wikimapia, Locate these land marks measuring distance on DHA 8 Map Ten visit the site. Weather is good you may have to spend 2 Hours walking but you can visibly see the area where U are about to buy.
Try to decide yourself dont listen to dealers and Other Guru, In DHA 7 all their predictions proved wrong, They were rating w and V best Blocks and these are down to earth, The U, T, and Q Block areas beyond main Bulvard were rated worst and these are hot cakes now. Z looks totally vanished for a time being. Only S Block holds a bit as predicted, 90% estimates of experts proved to be wrong.

Looking at the speed of development work in phases 6 and 7, I doubt you will be able to build your house in 4-5 years time in phase 8. That will also depend on which blocks will get developed first. Some blocks in phase 6 got developed two years ahead of other blocks while some blocks in phase 7 such as S R T are fully developed yet others such as V W X Y Z has only recently seen development works. For 4-5 year time frame, I will strongly suggest you to consider phase 6 or part of phase 7 touching phase 6. In pure town planning, phase 6 will always remain the best developed phase of DHA.

Mr.SI. you are talking of One kanal plot. Go for a possession plot in any area of lahore in any society. Even DHA change Maps in 4-5 yaers time. In phase-8 you can have a plot of one or two kanal in A to J blocks. Can take possession right now and secure your money. I have two kanal in F Block. Good luck.
