Buying property in Pakistan is an exciting milestone — but it also requires careful planning, market understanding, and reliable guidance. This Property Buying Guide will walk you through every step of the process, ensuring a smooth and successful purchase.

Step 1: Plan Your Budget

Buying a property is a long-term financial commitment. Before starting your search, carefully evaluate your finances:

• Available savings and assets

• Monthly income and ongoing expenses

• Loan or mortgage options (if applicable)

Be realistic about your total cost — including taxes, transfer fees, and registration expenses — so you can make a smart investment decision.

Step 2: Search for the Ideal Property

Before viewing homes, decide what matters most to you:

• Number of bedrooms and bathrooms

• Car parking availability

• Kitchen and dining preferences

• Garden or terrace space

• Proximity to schools, markets, and offices

Share these details with your Ghandhara Estate agent. Clearly mention your priorities — what’s essential, what’s flexible, and what you’d like to avoid — so we can find the perfect property for your needs.

Step 3: Considering a New Home?

Buying a newly built home has many advantages:

• No need for major repairs or renovations

• Option to select finishes and layouts before construction

• 10-year builder warranty (in most projects)

• High energy efficiency with modern construction standards

• No property chain — faster transactions

• Possible part-exchange or installment options offered by developers

New projects in DHA, Bahria Town, and CDA Sectors are especially popular among overseas Pakistanis due to modern facilities and strong investment potential.

Step 4: Choose the Right Location

The right neighborhood can greatly affect your lifestyle and property value. Research key factors such as:

• Current and projected property prices

• School quality and healthcare facilities

• Transport links and road access

• Security, utilities, and amenities

Our experienced agents can guide you through top-performing areas in Islamabad and Rawalpindi — helping you find a home that fits your lifestyle and future plans.

Step 5: Get the Most Out of Property Viewings

Use all available resources — photos, videos, floor plans, and brochures — before visiting.
During the visit, pay attention to:

• Construction quality and layout

• Natural lighting and ventilation

• Noise levels and neighborhood condition

• Legal possession and utility connections

Our agents accompany you to ensure transparency and clarity at every stage.

Step 6: Negotiating and Making an Offer

When you find the right property, it’s time to make an offer. Consider:

• Recent sales of similar properties

• Seller’s urgency to move

• Required repairs or upgrades

• Current market demand

Set a maximum budget and stay firm. If the property needs work, use that to justify your offer. Negotiation is about balance — getting a fair price that works for both sides.

Step 7: Offer Accepted — What’s Next?

Once your offer is accepted:

1. Ask the seller to take the property off the market.

2. Verify ownership documents and property title.

3. Confirm what’s included (fixtures, fittings, furniture, etc.).

4. Prepare legal documents and arrange title transfer.

5. Pay the deposit (usually 10%–20% of property value).

Note:

• If the buyer withdraws, the deposit may be forfeited.

• If the seller withdraws, they are legally required to return double the deposit to the buyer.

Completion usually takes 4–6 weeks, allowing time for payments and legal processing.

Step 8: Completion & Handover

Once payments are settled and ownership is officially transferred, you’ll receive possession of your new home.

Welcome to your property — and to the Ghandhara Estate family.
