Real estate investment is a popular way to grow wealth in Pakistan. This process is not without risks. Scams and frauds are common, and you might lose your hard-earned money if you are not careful. Here we will discuss the key things you need to know before investing in Pakistan’s real estate and provide tips to protect yourself from scams. Investing in real estate involves buying, selling, or renting property for profit. It is a long-term investment. So, it requires careful planning. Most of the time investors invest in end-user products, and end-users invest in investor base options. So, both investors and end users cannot profit as much as expected.
There are two kinds of products in the real estate market.
- End-user products
- Investors products
And we can find two kinds of individuals in the real estate market. One is the end-user, and the other one is an investor. End-user is the person who buys or rents a property for their use or accommodation. An investor is a person who buys property intending to earn a return, either through resale or rental income.
If we discuss end users, then we find two types of end users. Some end-users want to occupy a house quickly for residency and some want to purchase a plot and then willing to construct a house in two or three years.
Residential End Users
That end user, who wants to avail house for residence, can avail of a new house at 5 Marla in Bahria town in the range of 2.50 to 2.75 cr and a used house is comparatively low priced at 1.90 to 2.20 cr. There is a huge price difference between new and used houses. If you purchase a used house, you will find quality compromised things and if purchase a new house then you will pay a handsome amount to the vendors. In this situation, PPS recommends you purchase a plot and then construct your house with your favourite design and good quality material. If you are an overseas investor then you can avail of services from trusted developers who can provide you with construction as per your requirements. PPS developers have gained prominence over the years.
If you are looking for a plot to construct a house, then you can avail 5 Marla plot with a price range of 1.20 to 1.25 in Bahria town D block, 1 crore in Nishtar block and 80 to 85 lac in Ghaznavi block.
Investor
A real estate investor is a person who purchases, manages, sells, or rents out properties to earn a profit.
Types of investors
- Short-Term investors
- Long-Term Investors
- Speculative Investors
Investors who buy plots at low prices, make improvements, and sell them quickly for profit are short-term investors. Long-term investors buy and hold plots or houses for extended periods to benefit from steady rental income and long-term appreciation. The third type of investor invests in areas with expected development or upcoming projects, aiming for high returns based on future market trends. Investors looking to invest in plots should choose the area with the interest of developers, investors and builders. Speculative investor mostly looks for instalments and low prices on a product. So, you can get a good profit in a short-term investment.
Factors To Know Before Investing in Real Estate in Pakistan?
Investing in real estate in Pakistan can be a “profitable venture”, but it requires careful consideration and thorough research. Here are key factors to keep in mind before making an investment
Choose the Right Location
Location is crucial in real estate investment. Areas with robust infrastructure, proximity to commercial centers, and future development plans tend to offer better returns.
Understand the Legal Framework
Before purchasing a real estate product, ensure the property has clear legal titles and is free from disputes. Verify approvals from relevant authorities and check for any encumbrances. Consulting with a legal expert can help navigate the complexities of property laws in Pakistan.
Market Trends and Future Prospects
You must stay informed about market trends and future developments in the area. It is known that Lahore’s real estate market has experienced significant growth in recent years, driven by urbanization, infrastructure development, and a rising population. Investors should evaluate risks such as market volatility, legal disputes, and economic factors.
Seek Professional Advice
Investors should engage with real estate consultants, legal advisors, and financial planners to make informed decisions. Their expertise can provide valuable insights and help navigate the complexities of real estate investment in Pakistan.
Assess Your Budget and Financing Options
Real estate investment requires substantial capital, so it is vital to evaluate your budget and explore financing options. Determine how much you can invest without straining your finances.
In Pakistan, banks and financial institutions offer home loans and mortgage options for buyers. However, interest rates can be relatively high. Evaluate the repayment terms, down payments, and interest rates before opting for financing.
