To All,
While buying PV file, were you 100% sure, or got the firm assurance that you would get the plot in original Parkview or in Phase 8? If your answer is no, then thank Allah and move on.
I for one, at least had been told clearly by my estate agent (LRE) and DHA staff back in 2008 that the location could be anywhere and even across Barki Rd. Due to that uncertainly PV files were never charming and always less than ph 8 proper (I paid 7 lacs less than Ph. 8 proper file back in 2008 and now satisfied with the outcome). It was always a gamble which we played and lost. Cheers,

I am a PV file owner. I fully endorse the above which is logical and realistic. If we start thinking outside the box, our worries will be much less and we will lead a much contended life. We do not accept the outcome of our own decisions and would always blame some one else for it.
Just cheer up. |

Khan and KAR; Hats off to both of you for such positive thinking, which is almost missing in our society now. |

i do not agree with kar and khan.it is written in out files that these files holders will get plot under phase8.and in 2008 when i bought my files lahorerealestate team assure me that parkview file holders will be adjusted in phase8 and same place of parkview. |

Mr. Parkview, it is hard for me to believe that LRE gave you any such assurance. I have fairly long relationship with them. My experience tells me that they are outright professionals and do not make such loose talk and do not give such assurances.
We some how like to draw our own conclusions which suit us and are not based on facts. Let us grow up. |

When the DHA phs 8 proper and park view files were available I was interested to buy a file and had many conversations with LRE staff about which one I should buy. This is obviously before the DHA phs 8 ballot. They clearly mentioned to me that proper file is more expensive because it is sure that they will be alloted plots in DHA 8. The park view files on the other hand were much cheaper and that was because there was doubt about the location. They said if you want to make 100% sure then pay more for proper file. If you take chance in park view file, you will pay less but the price is less only because there is some doubt about location. I chose to play it safe and bought a proper file. Later in ballot I was alloted a reasonably good plot in X block of phase 8.
I am happy that i paid more and bought proper file. But had I bought park view file instead I would definitly have in mind that I am paying less and if I get inferior location it shall not bother me. The silver lining here is that my proper dha 8 plot in X block will be developed years after the park view plots just balloted even though park view holders gamble or taking a chance has not given best of the possible outcomes. |

I agree. Since Phase 7 will be delivered years before Phase 8 the adjustment in Phase 7 is much better in a sense specially for people like me who need the plot to make home. Now our file is converted to plot. We should be happy. Price will appreciate very well after possession in Phase 7 just like phase 6 which is not too far and where 10 Marla plots are priced as high as 55 to 60 Lakh. Also your plot will be close to centeral Golf Course of Phase 6+7 which will practically be a single phase after the hand over of Phase 7. Do not be too disappointed. I guess DHA did not have enough land around Park View scheme to adjust so many files so upon the pressure of file holders they have given them another location which is not that good but has some good prospects too. I have heard some of these plots are already developed but possession is not given yet. |

I think everyone to judge his own profit and loss depending on what price he bought PV file. If it gained you should be happy, if loose money even then be happy as after 3-4 years your loss would hopefully turn in profit. If in need dispose it off and invest elsewhere. |

Mr Ahmad, Let us again think a little cool. Suppose on a ballot in Ph 8, you got a plot next to grave yard and 7 feet ditch ( which incidentally many people in ph 8 got). Would you be satisfied then or it still be fraud. File is a promise to give you a plot. Its location and topography is not guaranteed. Even after allotment, the location can be changed unless you pay full amount and take possession. This a universal practice. Lets not always talk of fraud and rule of the law. This in fact is the law.We should accept the consequences of our decisions made for future gains(it may become losses as future is as uncertain as any thing). Do not lose heart may be your next effort will be more rewarding. Insha Allah. Good luck. |
