DHA-5 to DHA-9 Prism

There is a rumor that a road around 350 ft going through Farmanite Housing Society which will be connecting DHA-5 to DHA-9 Prism may cross through Kamahan Road. Also 80ft road of Formanites can also seen on the map of DHA-9 Prism which is connecting to Formanites.

If any expert knows shed some lights on this.

Please Advise

Finally got convinced I need to buy some land in Pakistan as investment but wow! You guys are super rich :-) Everyone is talking in crores, and here I am having lived in the US for 20 years having only $50k in my account. It is a shame that I earned 6 figures salary in dollars for last 6 years at least and still I have only 50 Lakhs in savings :-) Are you guys printing money or what? lol *JK*

Anyway, simple questions, to help me get started. Lets use DHA Bahawalpur as example (because it it just starting so process will be easy for me to understand .. no; not investing in it just using as example to help me get clear picture):

A) I submit application. DHA Bahawalpur is going to give me a "file". Correct?

B) I will have file till balloting is done, and that I can sell file to someone else for a small profit. Correct?

C) If my name pops up in ballot, DHA is going to assign me a random plot or I can select any plot after looking at their phase plan/map?

D) If my name does not come in ballot can I still sell the "file"? Is it going to be good for future phases assuming DHA Bahawalpur comes up with Phase 2, 3, etc in future?

E) DHA Multan is not accepting any applications anymore but so called "files" are available. When LRE or CMY says 1 Kanal file is available for 40 Lakhs what does that mean? Is this the price of file alone or 40 Lakhs includes the price of plot as well? I mean, how do I know how much is/was the price of plot, and how much is the "file premium" seller is asking for?

If you cannot answer all questions please answer last one. Price of file is the most confusing thing for me. To me it seems like a file is the right to own (if name comes in ballot) so the file price should not be more than 1% of the plot but I see files being listed in crores .. I am really really confused .. Thanks in advance for answers and apologies for a very long post full of basic questions.

ITisNeverLate,

A) Yes you will get a file (a file eventually turns into a plot of land upon balloting. The
location of the plot can be good, average or bad depending on which plot# you get allocated in the draw). A file is like a lucky draw ticket however in a lucky draw you might lose total value of your ticket. In case of a file, you 'always' get a plot. Some files get balloted sooner. Some later. Some files turn into good plots. Some turn into average or bad plots. The analogies end here.
B) You can always sell your file even before the ballot. File prices keep fluctuating. Phase 9 1 kanal files were available at 45 lacs per kanal a year ago but were being traded at up to 65 lacs per kanal a week before the ballot on May 15. Now upon balloting some very bad plots are available at 55 lacs (yes even lower than the file price) while some golden locations are not even available at an offer of 95 lacs.
C) The location of your plot will depend entirely on the 'lucky draw'. You can get a nice plot next to a park or a plot next to a graveyard.
D) All files eventually get balloted. Some sooner than the others. If you purchase a Bahawalpur file (whether on cash or on installments), you might get a plot in the first round of balloting or maybe in the second round which could be a few months or a year apart. Multan and Gujranwala are better DHA locations to invest for budget investors. Land acquisiton in those cities is going on at a faster pace.
E) DHA Multan 1 kanal file is available at around 29 lacs on cash. The price of the file will go up as balloting nears (or balloting rumors increase). Eventually when balloting happens (whether in 6 months or in 18 months), some individuals will get great plots which they might be able to sell at 60-70 lacs. Some individuals might get average plots which they'd be able to sell at 50-60 lacs. Bad plots might not be sellable beyond 50 lacs (all figures are indicative only).

Hope this helps.

Dear,

There is a difference in earning 6 figures and savings. Earn is not that hard but to save is always a pain in the neck specially if you are abroad , pay Taxes and all other expenses etc.

However to give you a picture how this investment works you can either buy a file or a plot. File eventually becomes a plot but in file you do not have a plot number so its luck if you can get a corner plot then you are able to sell with good profit. When you file become a plot you would need to pay the development charges in installment to the society. In case of DHA for a 1 Kanal plot there is 20Lac approx development charges. Therefore if you buy a 40Lac file and when this becomes a plot you would pay +20lac on the top.

There are many options with your 50Lac ruppees currently. I would advise you 10Marla on ground plot in Phase 7 with this price.

Phase 9 Z1&Z2 Commercial 8 Marla

I am working in UAE and now a days in Pakistan on EID Holidays for one month. I wish to invest in commercial property so may make plaza and get regular income after return from UAE (near five years). Security is my first choice so i preferred DHA Lahore only.
One of the Dealer suggest me for phase 9 Z1&Z2 commercial 8 Marla plot as per my requirements & Budget with time frame.
I request to property Guru & Expert for honest advice.

info replied on Wednesday, July 22, 2015 03:43 PM PST 

My honest opinion is that you may not be able to get rental income from prism 9 commercial in 5 years time, if that's what you plan. People will say that development and house construction will be done in 5 years but this has never happened in DHA earlier, though it has always been promised as such. My advice is to visit the area yourself including phase 8 (latest phase with development started in 2012 and again promised to be developed in 3 years time) and make your own opinion.

AR-Riyadh replied on Wednesday, July 22, 2015 04:09 PM PST 

I 100% agree with info, think carefully before you decide.

Ahmet replied on Wednesday, July 22, 2015 04:56 PM PST 

Abdul, gain on z1 & z2 will be enormous but can't say if plaza can be constructed 5 years.

Abdul Hameed replied on Wednesday, July 22, 2015 05:34 PM PST 

Dear info & AR thanks for yours suggestion, my time frame are just idea & approximately of my UAE Job.(Can be little bit more). I am not wish to leave UAE until they pull me back (Joke) because my pay are good.
What are the idea for Z1 & Z2 commercial plot 8 Marla capital gain? As Ahmet Bhai said if i can,t make plaza after five years what will be its
prices? is it fruitful investment on today prices?

sk replied on Wednesday, July 22, 2015 05:43 PM PST 

go for either 4 marla or 8 marla file in DHA-6. 4 marla is around 4 crore and 8 marla around 6.2 crores. both are great options

Ahmet replied on Wednesday, July 22, 2015 07:38 PM PST 

@Abdul,

I do not have enough experience on the commercial side to comment.

I am researching for myself nowadays and I believe DHA Commercial Broadway, Phase 6 and Prism Zone 1 to be great locations for 8 marla. However price difference is huge among these. Maybe you should call Salman from LRE to have a more meaningful discussion?

INFO replied on Wednesday, July 22, 2015 07:50 PM PST 

DHA PHASE 6 4 MARLA COM FILE AT 26 MILLION RS 8 MARLA COM FILE AT 42.5 MILLION RS.

HOPEFULLY GET PLOTS IN E OR A BLOCK AGAINST COM
FILES.

info replied on Thursday, July 23, 2015 04:57 PM PST 

Dear Abdul Hameed, max capital gains in commercial are when residential is substantially developed for simple reason that commercial caters to residential. It is when commercial buildings could potentially be given on rent that max potential is realized. Also, keep time value of money into account as return of 2.5 times in around 10 years time aren't that good returns for commercial in DHA. I think there are many better options available. Think it otherwise that for example what would you do if you an option of spending around 450 to 500 on prism 9 commercial that could give you max 1250 in around 10 years or you spend somewhere else which is near development, gain quickly in terms of capital and potential rental. Also, remember that all
DHA Lahore commercial areas cater to residential around them so look for areas having large local residential developed. I live in Gulberg but hardly ever go to DHA for shopping and in the end all DHA commercial areas reach similar value, for example look at DHA phase 4 CCA.

Abdul Hameed replied on Saturday, July 25, 2015 02:10 PM PST 

Dear info brother can you guide some area where to invest in commercial for maximum gain.
I am like yours observation and wish to mentioned area for gain quickly in terms of capital and potential rental.

DHA Bahawalpur

Aoa,

Your Comments about DHA Bahawalpur investment.Is it safe and profitibility period???

Thanks

SSD replied on Wednesday, July 22, 2015 02:44 PM PST 

DHA Multan is 100% better option than Bhawalpur

... replied on Wednesday, July 22, 2015 03:03 PM PST 

Location of Multan is the best among all others Dha.

Awan replied on Wednesday, July 22, 2015 05:59 PM PST 

Thanks Kamran sb,SSD,. and ...

ABC replied on Wednesday, August 26, 2015 01:04 PM PST 

DHA Bahwalpur 10M can be another excellent option because it is on installment. There is always difference between lump sum and installment price. In my view within two years span both
DHA Multan 1K and Bhawalpur 10M will give you reasonable profit.
If DHA Multan is huge even we cant say DHA Multan is better option.
