   1. Dear Zain Bhai,

      Sorry for the late reply.

      a- It will final transfer, just new purchaser need to apply for possession of plot, once get the possession he can proceed for due construction procedure

      b- If it is possession plot then it is not possible transfer without possession, if seller has not taken possession then he has to first get possession. He will apply NDC with Site Plan. Once the NDC is ready with Site Plan he can get transfer

      c- No there is no need to send the intimation / copy of transfer to seller because seller was present in DHA Office while transfer

      d- He is has to apply for the new possession / site plan on his name to start construction

      e- Yes there will penalty of Rs. 1500 per month. I need to check the time limit from DHA. But 3 years delay case is in my knowledge. I am not sure more then it

      f- Transfer letter date will be when you submit the transfer paper along with Stamp Duty, CVT and Membership fee at DHA Office

4. Dear Atif Bhai,

   i live overseas and want to invest in property at Lahore DHA.But i have concerns with the Estate Agents who asked to sign the agreement with following kind of clauses as one of my friend had a deal to sell his property Last year , can you Please explain:
   Why estate agents put clauses that ” Buyer have a right to sell the property during the Biana period” in sale agreement and what are the disadvantages/Advantages for this to the seller in future.
   why they ask seller to come and sign in so many offices like Cantt Board, registrar Office, DHA Office etc while practically transfer of property took place only in DHA Main Office.
   and What is the practical role of an Esate Agent during transfer/exchange of property.
   Although DHA discourages to such clauses to be included in sale or purchase agreement. However DHA does not want to present such agreements during the transfer process.

   1. Dear Zain Bhai,

      First of all thank you for your concern that you have pointed out these questions. I am not sure if any Estate Agent is doing this by force. However this clause it the market practice. Agent should clear this that he doing Biana himself or for his investor client and he can sell this during Biana period. Or you may force agent that you will not do any Biana nor get any token money even. Simply meet with buyer in direct meeting in the presence of agent and set time for transfer and get transfer in DHA Office.

      I think you are talking about selling a house in DHA, in case of house only NOC is required by Cantt Board but owner presence not required for it. Owner can sign the document and agent can get NOC from Cantt Board office on behalf of owner. Rest of all process happen in DHA Office. DHA has nothing to do with agreement between seller & buyer until unless there is some dispute arises between seller & buyer.

      There is no disadvantage for seller from this clause, seller has accept the price and given time with his consent. I dont think that agent can get this consent by force. When sign the document it mean he agreed with the terms & conditions. Like when booking we sign a document of any DHA Booking Form we are bond with the terms and conditions what so ever they are.

      Advantage for Buyer or Biana Holder is that if he can find a buyer mean while he can get transfer on his / her name and can make money. So if seller dont want some one to earn from this deal. He might can straight away refused this term and bound the Buyer or Biana Holder the he will only transfer on his name only and will not entertain any other name.

      But mostly sellers are not concerned with it as far as they are selling on market price on the day deal is done. They dont bother that at what price now buyer sell it or get transfer on his own name or transfer to some other name.

      So before making selling decision you must check the market that you are selling on current market price.

      1. Atif Bhai,

         Thanks a lot for answer of my queries. I wounder how you are maintaining simultaneously with you own business, market rate updates, detail of plots under selling, detail of plot sold out and other miscellaneous information like property exchange/ transfer fee, taxes, etc. updates and meanwhile for public interest you are available to give answer question by question. So time demanding activity. Unlike other property dealers/ Estate agents your efforts are unique and appreciable. Would you like to explain following:

         a)      Is it your own initiative/ creative setup or it’s DHA’s additional role given to your company.

         b)      Why not other property dealers are doing so.

         c)       Why most of the property dealers give their plot under selling to your company for sale as well

         d)      Why one property dealer give his plot for selling to so many property dealers for what interest whereas the owner of the plot has given to the one property dealer to sell his plot.

         e)      Is there fixed days of transfer of plot at DHA’s main office

         f)       Is it possible the plot transfer to the name of purchaser the same day in main DHA office, when from the seller through his estate agent delivered ‘The Forwarding Letter’ for transfer of plot addressed to secy. DHA Lahore with attached required documents.

         g)      Who performs duties of registrar in DHA office, either administrator DHA, Secretary DHA or anybody else with what designation?

         1. Dear Zain Bhai,

            Thank your for your valued feed back. In fact it is really a hard duty I am performing. Still I could not perform all as well because it is not possible to work on different tasks simultaneously, but I try my best to do this all. I am Industry focused person. I believe if I will do work for Public Benefit in return I will get some thing for my living. I dont need to work for my living. My aim to be “Pakistan Real Estate Industry Resource” A resource which can benefit the industry overall. By doing this all I am definite earning reasonable for my living. Life is too short. I am working for Pakistan Real Estate Industry since 2004.

            From 2004 to 2006 I was working with Bahria Town but due to some principal dispute I left Bahria Town in 2006. I was among few registered agent of Bahria Town from 2005 to 2006. In March 2006 I return my registration certificate to Bahria Town to cancel my registration. I am the only one who him self request Bahria Town to cancel his registration, so that I cannot work with Bahria Town any more as CNP (Channel Network Partner). Although Bahria Town is an out class development with marvelous infrastructure and facilities. I really admire the work of Malik Riaz and his team, but as Agent, dealing with Bahria Town, I had some issues which were against my dealing so I quit.

            I am not performing this duty on behalf of some one or DHA. Alhamdulillah it is my Father training to be industry focused. We are dealing with Engineering Steel (Hi Tech Industrial Alloy Steels including Tool Steel, High Tensile Steel, Carbonizing Steel, Induction Hardening Steel, High Speed Steel and many more) Since 1968 with name Malik Muhammad Iqbal & Co. Since I join my family business, at the day first my father told me that “My son the product we are dealing with is not a perishable item like vegetable or etc so there is no need to lie while selling this. We are selling Steel, it has no effect of fire, rain, sun light, if the building destroy in which it is store nothing going to be happen to it. There will be no model or design Change, round will remain round, square will remain square etc. So it is very easy to sell such a long life durable product as compare to many other perishable item. Our slogan is “We sell Strength, Standard & Quality in terms of Steel”

            In 2004 my interest develop with Real Estate and I found this product same as Steel or more durable and long life then even Steel. Plot sizes are common 5 Marla, 10 Marla & 1 Kanal etc. No effect of rain on plot, sun light, even it is immovable no one can steal it. Only disadvantage is “Qabza Group” and in DHA, it is also eliminated. Ant way it was just a brief intro about my back ground of this work.

            a) It is my own initiative

            b) I have found many other dealers are doing so. But most of the dealers are focused on their business rather industry. As one of my initiative is to provide the high resolution Maps for Pakistan Real Estate Industry. Although I am not dealing with all the areas and in fact I cannot. But I receive appreciations from Cargo and Delivery personal and request to upload missing maps so that they can get help for their services.

            c) They dont give us but we work on daily news papers ads and ask them what they are selling and display this on our site, so that visitors can be aware that these options are also available in the market. However Every agent has a network or group, they interact with each other and inform each other what they have for selling & buying with them.

            d) It is a fact that all DHA Lahore buyers and sellers are not with me. I have few options for sell with me of my clients and I have few option to buy for my clients, and same is for every Agent. Usually when a buyer contact us, we first tell him direct property but if the location and price do not suit him we search the appropriate match for him and get commission from our side. In fact it is not possible that you have all the stock of the market direct and it is also fact that it is not necessary that properties for sale you have is in liking of your buyer. So it is obvious that agents contact with each other to sell or buy to meet the demand of their respective clients.

            e) From Monday to Friday, if the transfer documents are completed and fulfill the requirements.

            f) Transfer fee and other dues required by DHA (if any) must be submitted in DHA account and paid voucher must be submitted at transfer counter to inform DHA that dues has been paid before 48 hours. For example if you submit paid voucher on transfer counter today you can get transfer day after tomorrow.

            g) Transfer is being executed in front of Transfer Officer. Once the transfer complete DHA hand over covering letter to seller and ask him to get payment from buyer and handover this covering letter to buyer after getting final payment. DHA give membership form to Buyer and ask him to complete the paper formalities and submit the document back to DHA Office at Transfer Customer Service Desk. Buyer pay (or his agent do this task on his behalf) the stamp duty, CVT and Membership fee and submit the document back to DHA Office. Customer Service Desk issue a letter showing all the documents received and now Buyer can collect the transfer letter from DHA Letter Collection Desk after 15 working days.

         2. Atif Bhai,

            So kind of you for providing valuable information. Would you please tell more in this regard:

            a)      Specifically, overseas buyer or seller who purchases or sell the property through property dealer (Estate Agents) to choose better option, to save time and completion of required documentation fast in time. Once engage property dealer (DHA Authorized registered) will have to remain associated till transfer of property or he may deviate during the process of transfer of property. Is there a proper term and conditions set out like WAKALAT NAMA of advocates used in the courts?

            b)      In case of complain with reference to transfer of property, to whom complaint is addressed at DHA.

            c)       How many witnesses are required during transfer of property? Relative like;  Son, Daughter or Brother can be witnessed and what will be the role of Estate Agent during the transfer of property before transfer officer.

            d)      Do you have any setup like DHA Lahore in DHA Islamabad?

            e)      In DHA Lahore, Price of 1 kanal residential plot in phase-9 prism? After how long these plots would be opened to construction and what would be the market value after 5 years as compared with the present market.

            f)       What you suggest the green area for investment in DHA Lahore for overseas.

            g)      Is the Phase-9 falls in Cantonment Area or under the local provincial government?

            h)      Which phases of DHA Lahore are not under cantonment board. 

         3. Dear Zain Bhai,

            a) One should remain associated with the Agent till transfer completed, however if there is any complain about the agent one can refer to DHA Lahore regarding complain

            b) You can contact Director Transfer & Record for complain

            c) 2 witnesses are required for transfer of property, yes any of the relative can give witness. Agent is responsible to execute the transfer. Agent can be also a witness

            d) No I do not have any setup in Islamabad

            e) DHA Lahore Phase 9 Prism 1 Kanal average location plot price is 90 to 120 lacs excluding development charges. After 5 years expected price will be 250 lacs

            f) Phase 9 Prism (construction in next 5 years) & DHA Phase 7 (ready for construction) are the best option at the moment in this budget, however it depends on the budget.

            g) Please contact DHA for this information

            h) Please contact DHA for this information

12. Dear sir, I have few queries in my mind. Thought I’d ask them one by one succinctly.

    1. Around 1 and half years ago, I thought of buying a cheap 1K plot in NFC –Phase 2(J Block) for 24 lacs as someone advised me that the rates would jump significantly after six months. Though I haven’t bought it that time but I see the rates of the plot are still the same (around 25 to 27) even after 1.5 years. WHY IS IT SO? WHY HAVEN’T RATES GONE UP THERE?

    2. Although I have a budget of around 1 Crore, but I was thinking to divide it and invest in four different properties of worth 25-30 Lacs rather than a single property of 1 Crore. WHAT DO YOU SAY?

    3. In this budget of 25-30 Lacs, what are the best opportunities available for me within Lahore?

    4. I have gone through a lot of pages offering properties in PRISM & IVY DHA? WHAT ARE THEY?

    5. What sectors in BAHRIA are good for investment ?

    6. Recently, I have seen the ad of a property in DHA Peshawar, The balloting hasn’t taken place but Dealers are offering confirm files of 1K and 10 Marla for the same rate that is offered by DHA through balloting. i.e. 1 Kanal confirm file rate is around 50 Lac.? WHY IS THAT SO?

    I would be very grateful sir.
    Thanks in advance.

    1. Several reasons are there for NFC Phase 2 for not growing.

       1- Ring Road
       2- Still under development
       3- Due to poor management

       But all these factors still do not stop me to highly recommend NFC Phase 2 for investment. NFC Phase 2 will have good return in future

       It better to invest in different options for various factors. One of them is that you can liquidate partially. If you need some money at any stage you can liquidate one of them. Also there are more chances for higher return as compare to buy a single property. All of the above it peace of mind that is more important.

       In this budget there can be many options but few of them I know:

       DHA Phase 9 Prism
       DHA Phase 8 Z Block
       DHA City
       DHA Phase 11 (DHA Rahbar)
       Lake City
       NFC Phase 2
       Sui Gas Lahore
       AWT Phase 2
       Bahria Orchard
       etc.

       Prism is DHA Phase 9 Lahore
       IVY Green is DHA Phase 8 Z Block

       Only on ground with possession plots are recommended for investment in case of Bahria Town Lahore

       In Peshawar DHA has offered booking, you saw ad of booking. Details are here DHA Peshawar

       There is a difference between DHA File and Bahria Town File or any other society File. DHA issue files against land surrender by Land Holders. Where as other societies like Bahria Town etc. print from and book the plot. So can print as many booking form as they want. The Land Owners who have surrender their files with DHA Peshawar, DHA has issued them files for a specific ratio against their files. So they are actually selling their own land which is now part of DHA. So purchaser dont need to pay any cost of land against these files and these files are called as full paid files mean confirm allocation. Because seller is not selling you a booking he is selling you his own land which now became part of DHA. In general DHA give 2 file of 1 Kanal against 8 Kanal of land. DHA issue two files to land owner and rest of 6 Kanal remains with DHA. Now DHA have access land always then the file issued. It mean DHA has 75% of land available after issuing 25% of files against 100% land.

       Same is the case of DHA Bahawalpur. You can get 1 Kanal cash payment file @ 28 lacs and booking is available in 38 lacs on installment package.
