Buying a Home in Pakistan: Why It Is a Great Investment

Buying a home in Pakistan: a great investment you can actually live in

Buying a home in Pakistan is one of the most trusted ways to build a secure future, and the message on our latest poster explains why. Malik Ashiq Hussain Awan, CEO of Combine Estate and Builders (Pvt) Ltd., the company behind PlotDeals.pk, shares this belief:

میں ہمیشہ یہ مانتا رہوں گا کہ گھر خریدنا ایک بہترین سرمایہ کاری ہے۔ کیوں؟ کیونکہ آپ کسی شیئر کے سرٹیفیکیٹ میں نہیں رہ سکتے اور نہ ہی کسی میوچل فنڈ میں رہ سکتے ہیں۔

In English: I will forever believe that buying a home is a great investment. Why? Because you can't live in a stock certificate. You can't live in a mutual fund.

— Message shared by Malik Ashiq Hussain Awan, CEO, Combine Estate and Builders (Pvt) Ltd.

Why a home is different from other investments

Shares and mutual funds are numbers on a statement. A home is something you can see, visit and use every day. You can live in it with your family, rent it out for income, or sell it when the time is right. That is why so many families and overseas Pakistanis choose buying a home in Pakistan as a long-term plan.

• You can use it. A home gives your family a place to live, or rental income if you let it out.
• You can see it. You can visit the plot or house, check the street and meet the neighbours before you pay.
• It can grow in value. Land and houses in growing cities often gain value over the years, although nothing is guaranteed.
• It protects you from rising rent. Once the home is yours, rent is no longer a monthly worry.

Six checks before buying a home in Pakistan

1. Verify the documents. Check ownership, the file or plot status, and the approvals of the society or project before you pay anything.
2. Visit in person. Photos help, but a visit shows you the road, the neighbourhood, the water and electricity, and the real condition of the property.
3. Compare prices. Look at several areas and societies in cities such as Kharian, Gujrat and Jhelum, and compare the price per marla before you decide.
4. Plan the extra costs. Registry, transfer fees, taxes and any repairs should be part of your budget from the start.
5. Do not decide in a hurry. Excitement and pressure lead to rushed decisions. Take your time and ask questions.
6. Ask for trusted guidance. A short talk with an experienced adviser can save months of worry.
