DHA phase-7 Lahore,

(61881)
Thursday, December 9, 2010 02:14 PM 

After spending good 90 mins or so on website to search for information I am looking for, i decided to post the questions instead :) I know I saw it on LRE but can't find.
After talking to CMY I decided to buy DHA-5 ext file due to budget limitations. After talking to friend of mine and his arguments on plot location, development time and unknown development charges I raised the budget to go for DHA ph-7 on ground plot :). Questions:
1. Best blocks on DHA-7? Which block should i go for?
2. Development status since S, R & T fully developed?
3. Transfer charges are approx 148k?
4. Should I stick with DHA-5 ext.? of go for plot?

Thanks & regards.

one more thing to add, plot in Z and Y better since more bank for the buck? or risky option?

Khan Sahib...whoever gave you the advice to go for phase 7 instead of 5-extension is your well-wisher...if you have the budget, phase 7 on-ground plots are much better choice than the non-existant and vaguely defined phase 5-extension.

1. Best block in phase 7 is the upper half of R block for the simple reason that it is nestled in phase 6 on two sides. Fully developed as well. It will also be the most expensive. Among the developed and semi-developed blocks, you can go for upper half of P, middle portion of S and any part of T and U. Avoid Q block. As for the non-developed blocks, I like W block. Development work is going on full swing there and W is clear from any encroachment and is very neatly located away from any unpleasant feature.

2. R, S, T and U are fully developed. Most of Q is developed too. P is half developed and have some land left to be acquired. W and X are the area of V free from encroachment are under very speedy development. Upper Half of Z along the left side of W is also under rapid development. No development whatsoever is going on in Y and part of Z near dera chahal.

3. Do not go for 5-extension. Go for an on ground plot in any phase instead. You will feel much more secure and also can take your family and kids and show them the plot. Life is too short and times are too risky to wait for ballotings, especially when you have no idea of the exact location of even the phase, forget about your plot.

When you had budget under 25 lacs DHA 5 ext was good option. Now if you can afford go only for DHA 7 on ground plot. If you can afford the money go for DHA 7 R block that is my favorite from day one or a clear plot in P block will be 2nd choice. If you dont have budget for DHA 7 R or P go for T or U instead of S or Q. T will be my 1st choice and U will be next in line.

Thanks. CMY, yep I had budget constraints and thought DHA-5 ext was the best option but after exploring and discussing the purchase I decided to raise the budget and go for ph-7. I already emailed you before I posted this. Please respond to my mail with options in R & P. Hoping to get this done in next two weeks inshALLAH.
