5 Things Every First-Time Property Buyer in Pakistan Should Know

1. Check the Project’s Legal Status

Make sure the housing society is approved by the relevant authority (CDA, RDA, LDA, etc.). A project with an NOC offers peace of mind and protects you from future legal trouble.

2.  Ask for All Documentation

Don’t rely on verbal promises. Request the allotment letter, payment plan, and location map from the developer or the marketing firm. A good agency will be happy to share these before you book.

3.  Understand the Installment Plan Clearly

Most projects offer 3 to 4 year installment plans. Ask for a clear breakdown of down payment, monthly/quarterly installments, and final dues. Avoid agents who skip over the fine print.

4.  Location Isn’t Just About Distance

Being “near Islamabad” or “just 10 minutes away” sounds good — but do your own check. See if the roads are developed, if nearby societies are occupied, and whether daily essentials are accessible.

5.  For Overseas Buyers – Go Verified

If you’re buying from abroad, work with trusted, registered property advisors. A legit firm will handle bookings via WhatsApp, provide payment confirmations, and offer site visit videos if needed.

Final Thoughts

Property buying in Pakistan doesn’t have to be risky — if you know what to ask, what to check, and who to trust. At New Erda Properties, we help you choose the right project based on facts, not marketing hype
