Visit of DHA Phase 8, Lahore,

(62411)
Tuesday, January 4, 2011 05:40 PM 

Recently I visited DHA Phase 8 for the first time. I have a plot on installment in Sector S. I must say that I'm not disappointed at all. It is worth investing place in case one can hold the plot for at least 4 to 5 years.

Dear Khan,

Based on the current development status, when can we expect possession in DHA 8?

Have you visited block F, is it ready for construction??

Khan, why you think that S block is worth investing place? Please give some reason so that I can understand.

For one thing, S block site is the ONLY place in phase 8 where you will be getting levelled plots as there are no pits in that area. Also, Burki road will get re-modelled and will be a hub of activities. Lots of schools are on that road LACAS, LGS, LSE. University of south asia has also bought a campus on burki road.

I see but the question is why these plots are sold at loss at this point in time? whereas all other blocks are sold in profit except a few.

I asked this question just for my information. Also, I believe being close to schools is not a positive point as I have seen that all plots close to school are sold at lower price in every society. However level plots is a good thing considering the pits in phase 8. I have heard that the similar pits are there in Phase 9 area as well :-)

@Shahzad sahib: I have no clue when DHA 8 will be ready for possession. From the discussion on this forum, I can guess that it will take at least 3 years.

@Saeed Sahib: I was in Lahore due to winter holidays of children. I am not based in Lahore and went their with kids on holidays. So I have no idea even where is F block situated. I was interested to visit only S block and I went through a long way as I was not aware of the directions and different confusing roads. Thanks to our driver, who drove us around but he was also new to the area.

@Saad Sahib: I was impressed by the location of block S. In my post I did not say that it was the best block. In fact, I am not sure if it is the best in Phase-8. I was very happy to see the approximate location to the main roads, military farms and other places. I knew these military walas very well. They will also convert government owned military farm into private housing scheme and will make money out of this. So I see future expansion in this area.

Finally, I want to say that I have been paying huge installments every quarter and wanted to see if location is good. At this time and space, I have no intention to sell; rather my intention is to construct home over there and location wise it looks fine to me.
