Some Properties in Islamabad: Input Needed!

[Meengla]

Hello,
Some months ago wife and I went to Pakistan and we really fell in love in Islamabad. And I am thinking about buying some investment and/or an eventual retirement home there. Here is a search at Zameen.com:

https://www.zameen.com/Houses_Property/Islamabad-3-1.html?price_min=4971929&price_max=6991775

I was told that ISB is very expensive--too expensive--but then I look at something like this:

https://www.zameen.com/Property/dha...ey_8_marla_home_for_sale-20284051-3226-1.html

and at $40,000 doesn't seem to bad?

What's the catch here? Any recommendations for area and ROI value?

Thanks!

For 40K that's not bad -- I've thought about a property in Pakistan as well mostly Lahore.

But I would recommend looking more into the Defense Housing areas.

Sadly this has happened to often --

My family has a real estate broker in Lahore/Faisalabad who we rely on and he's reliable in acquiring properties and at times purchased property in non defense areas also due to lack of work being completed.

Try bahria town... And stay away from cheap scams

try bahria town but must must must possession plots not files and must must must visit it before buying

and remember bahria is not in Islamabad not even in capital territory its in Rawalpindi

There are scams so be aware. If u want to buy a house/land in islamabad then u should get the proper islamabad sectors managed by CDA. Those can be very expensive. One other place that i like currently is under development and can be paid in installments and is cheap is islamabad capital smart city project. They jave chinese investments as well and have 2 motorway connections. Its also near to new islamabad airport. They also have a proper computarized system with biometeic and all for owners. Have a big office in G10 i guess.

Buy property in Gulberg Greens. You won't regret I.A.

Buying land/property in Pakistan is tricky. In the UK you have to employ a lawyer who does full land registry checks, checks for disputes, limitations on the land, even have you do a structural survey of the property. They contracts are signed by lawyers and money transferred through them. IDK if this is required in Pakistan or not.

Wow! I didn't know that properties which are already finished, and ready to occupy can be risky investments in Pakistan. Scary!

I was in the Bahria Town Karachi barely a few weeks ago and was very impressed with the giant city being built there. Truly first class atmosphere. We decided to stop by a realtor office onsite. He took us to a tour of a 200+ sq yds house (not a flat). While that was occupied, he said there is one ready-to-move in condition in a nearby zone and with clear legal entitlements for Rs. 13 million. There would be Rs. 2400/month fee to BTK for outside maintenance and included 'meetha paani' (fresh water). Electricity would be Rs. 26/unit. I don't know if all those numbers are good or bad. Anyway, I am not ready to invest that kind of money. Maybe $54-60k for a small house in Islamabad toward the end of 2020.

Thank you guys for your feedback! May send you PM or ask via this thread as situation on my end becomes clearer.
