Are you an expat or a local investor? Do you have chunks of bucks in your bank that you wish to spend on buying a property in Pakistan? But when you think of investing, do you worry about the security of your hard earned money because the risk is too much in the societies of the public sector?

While, unfortunately, we do not have any comprehensive guides, plans or policies at the national level for secure investment in real estate, this guide on property insights of Pakistan will help you in finding the areas where you can buy the property with full security of investment. This guide is even more relevant to investors who cannot visit Pakistan for years and sometimes do not have a knowledge of local real estate developments.

 The most important rule to follow before wishing to buy a property in Pakistan is that always look out for trusted and tried societies. Although, we do agree that if one of your investment in a smaller society has yielded good returns in the past, then it does not mean the next one will result in the same these shortlisted societies are the one which we think you should focus on more being an investor.

The basis of selecting these is simple. They are regulated, they have continued to deliver to the people of Pakistan for years now and at an average, they have also given best results in terms of profit in past couple of decades. In addition to above all, the liquidity in these big societies is comparatively good and therefore it is very easy when you wish to sell, as buying and selling stands of equal utmost importance in the business of real estate.

• Defence Housing Authority

  Considered as one of the most reputed and costliest societies in Pakistan, DHA is by far the safest and most profitable among all as well.  If you want to secure yourself a property her, you have to keep a sharp eye on its most recent developments in DHA Karachi and DHA Lahore. Probably, the best thing about it is that if you have invested in DHA, you can rest with assured that your money is safe and it will multiply in years to come. To make it a bit affordable, DHA has opened up opportunities to invest starting from small residential plots of 5 Marla up which go up to 2 Kanals and commercial plots of various sizes.

   

• Bahria Town

  You might have heard arguments on it because of its filing system, but this undoubtedly is the second best choice when it comes to investing in the real estate of Pakistan. Although it is exposed to a bit of risks as compare to DHA because of its policies but it is the only society we would recommend for investors other than DHA. The key to be successful in Bahria Town is by staying in touch with the market all the time as short-term and mid-term trading is much more effective when it comes to Bahria Town. Bahria continues to offer a variety of investment opportunities in Lahore, Karachi, and Islamabad for all kind of investors all throughout the year.

   

• Gwadar Sangar Housing Society

Gwadar is a paradise for investors of real estate at the moment but one of the most difficult things is to find a safe investment to put your money in. We would strongly recommend doing a thorough research before investing in the property that you wish to buy here, even if you are a local investor. However, Sangar is ideal for investment and most safe in our opinion. In addition, the wisest option will be to invest a maximum of 15 to 20% of your portfolio in Gwadar.

There is almost a new society emerging every day in all three big cities of Pakistan but to find the right one is indeed similar to hitting the bull’s eye. But as long as you are not looking to buy a property for your permanent residence purpose, investing in houses cannot save you much. While the plots appreciate over time in price the Houses depreciate as the construction gets older.
