Lahore

DHA Lahore has the deepest resale market and sets the city benchmark. Prime Phase 5 and Phase 6 carry 1 kanal plots around PKR 5.5 to 9 crore, while developing Phase 7 and Phase 9 Prism start nearer PKR 2.8 to 5.5 crore. Bahria Town Lahore is cheaper and amenity led, with 10 marla plots roughly PKR 1.3 to 2.6 crore. Figures indicative, verify current.

A 1 kanal residential plot in prime DHA Lahore, Phase 5 or Phase 6, trades in a roughly PKR 5.5 to 9 crore band, which is a widely quoted benchmark for a premium Lahore plot. Developing phases cost less, with Phase 7 near PKR 3.5 to 5.5 crore and Phase 9 Prism files around PKR 2.8 to 4.5 crore. A 10 marla plot in prime blocks runs about PKR 3 to 4.5 crore. Asking values, verify current.

On the DC rate and FBR notified value, which usually sit below market, you pay stamp duty, capital value tax, a town or registration fee, and FBR section 236K withholding at purchase. That 236K rate is materially higher if you are not an active tax filer. Add the DHA or society transfer fee, or the sub registrar registry cost, plus about 1 percent agent commission. Tax rates are indicative, verify current before you transact.

A plot file in a developing phase like DHA Phase 9 Prism or Park View City is the cheapest entry, from PKR 90 lakh to 2.6 crore, but returns depend on capital appreciation and possession can be years away. A ready 5 marla house in a good society sits near PKR 1.5 to 4 crore, with an end user market that grounds resale. Favour possession or a developer with a delivery record. Verify current.

Lahore land is priced for appreciation, so gross house yields are low near 3 to 4 percent. For rental income, apartments and commercial in dense areas do better. Bahria Orchard reaches roughly 5 to 7 percent, Bahria Town Lahore about 5 to 6.5 percent, and Gulberg near 4 to 6 percent on strong office and retail demand. Johar Town near Emporium is solid at 4.5 to 6 percent. Indicative, verify current.

New societies sell installment friendly plans to buyers priced out of a prime DHA kanal, which keeps schemes on the city fringe busy. The real risk is delivery, not the payment plan itself. Before possession, pricing is partly developer set, so weight the developer track record heavily. Park View City is a Vision Group scheme on Multan Road, while larger schemes like Lahore Smart City lean on Habib Rafiq and FDH for build out. Prefer plots at or near possession, and confirm the LDA NOC and approval status before you commit. Verify current.
