The following is explicit and clear advice for expatriate Pakistanis interested in investing in real estate.

A complete investment guide for overseas Pakistanis in housing societies

Before making an investment in a housing society, there are various factors to consider. Please read the following for that reason.

The legal status of the housing society

It would be beneficial if you could ascertain the legal status of the housing association. Assume a housing society is under the control of a local body such as the Lahore Development Authority (LDA), the Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA), the Capital Development Authority (CDA), the Peshawar Development Authority (PDA), or the Karachi Development Authority (KDA) (KDA). In that scenario, you should go to the office of the relevant development body and inquire about the legal status. You may also confirm a housing society's legal status by visiting the websites of the CDA, RDA, LDA, and so on.

Development status of the society

Remember, as an overseas Pakistani, you are unaware of the reality of a housing society. As a result, don't believe the hype about a location you haven't been yet. A buddy in Pakistan is the greatest person to seek guidance or assistance from. It might be helpful if you asked him to describe the realities of a housing society. Assume the development effort is fully pledged; it is preferable to invest. In contrast, if the housing society does not have any development activity, it is best to avoid it.

Park View City and Capital Smart City have a more significant setup for overseas Pakistanis in the shape of Overseas Block.

Track record of the housing society

If society has begun the balloting of schemes, you must invest in it. If there are still no signs of balloting or possession of the plots, you should disregard it and look for a better investment opportunity.
