DHA Town 9 File CMY Shb please help!
Dear CMY Shb,
Long time reader first time contributor. I am hoping that you will respond and give me some solid Advice as I am stuck between a rock and a hard place. I'm not a very rich person and I saved from my salary over a long period of time to buy a 5 Marla file in DHATown Phase 9 in Feb with the intention that I would finally build my home on it once it was balloted and DHATown possession was given. However now with the announcement of Phase 9 balloting & DHATown upcoming possession in 2 months I am very much afraid that DHA may decide to Ballot DHATown
files at the same time and in doing so they may give me a plot in Phase 9 proper instead of in DHATown itself. You see when they handed over the allocation letter they ensured that I sign a piece of paper which as far as I understand allows them to ballot me just about anywhere the wording was so vague. They would not give the allocation letter otherwise, and I was assured that they were doing the same with every DHATown file holder.The DHA officer assured me by showing that it mentions 9 TWN in my allocation as membership number. However it strikes as very fishy that they did this just before announcing this phase 9 ballot. I have also heard rumours that DHA pulled a stunt like this with consumers before in a previous phase ballot. If they do this then I will be at a huge loss not just money (I could have bought 5 Marla 9 proper file much cheaper) but in effect I will lose my chance to build a home for the next 5 years until they develop & give possession of 9 proper which I can not afford. The whole point of paying extra for DHATown file was so I would get a Possession plot earlier than Phase 9 so I can build a home asap.
So CMY Shb please give an honest advice & help should I take the risk of the ballot in the hope that DHA will fulfill its original commitment and give me a plot in DHATown or should I cut my losses and sell the file before the ballot? Is there any news from your links in DHA management as to their intentions for the DHATown Files?
