Property decisions
made with clarity,
not pressure.

A file is a claim on a plot that has not been allotted a physical location yet. You cannot stand on it, fence it or build on it. A possession plot has a number, a location and demarcation on the ground.

Files are cheaper because you are carrying the risk that balloting and development take longer than promised — sometimes years longer. We will tell you plainly which one you are being offered, because plenty of sellers blur the line.

Approval is the first thing to check, not the brochure or the billboard. For private schemes inside Lahore that means an approved layout plan and NOC from LDA, or from the relevant development authority or TMA outside LDA limits.

We check the approval status of the specific block you are buying in, not just the scheme as a whole — partial approvals are common, and an unapproved block inside an approved scheme is a real problem at resale.

On a normal sale you are looking at stamp duty and registration fee on the deed, advance income tax on the buyer under section 236K and on the seller under section 236C, capital gains where it applies, plus society transfer fee, membership charges and any outstanding development dues.

Rates change with each federal budget and your filer status materially changes what you pay, so we do not publish figures here. We prepare a written cost sheet at current rates for your specific deal before you commit.

For a society plot: your allotment or transfer letter, CNIC, the society membership file, and a No Demand Certificate confirming nothing is outstanding. For land held on revenue record: the registry and a current fard from the Arazi Record Centre.

If the title is in a deceased owner's name you will need succession documentation before anything can move. That is worth starting early — it is the single most common reason a sale stalls.

Yes. Overseas clients usually appoint a trusted family member through a special power of attorney, attested at the Pakistani embassy or consulate in your country and then verified in Pakistan. Your NICOP works as identification.

We send video walkthroughs of the site and scans of every document before anything is signed. We deliberately keep the attorney with your own family rather than taking it ourselves.

The first consultation is free. On a sale or purchase our commission is the customary one percent, and on a letting it is one month's rent — agreed in writing before we start work, so there is no argument at the end.

Documentation and transfer work done on your behalf is charged at actual cost against receipts. We do not take a cut from both sides of a deal without telling you.
