Lahore Property News & Guides

Lahore is one of Pakistan's busiest property markets, and most buyers here think in marla and kanal. The 5 marla and 10 marla house is the family standard, and the choice is usually between a gated society and an established neighbourhood. DHA Lahore, spread over numbered phases, and Bahria Town Lahore are the best-known planned communities. Older areas such as Johar Town, Allama Iqbal Town and Wapda Town offer built-up houses close to markets and schools. The Lahore Development Authority also runs its own schemes, including LDA Avenue on Raiwind Road and LDA City.

Buyers range from first-time families and young professionals to overseas Pakistanis buying a home or a rental property from abroad. Renters are spread across the city, from single rooms and portions to whole houses in the larger societies.

Before you buy in Lahore, check the society's status on the LDA's lists of approved and illegal schemes, and get the approved layout plan. Match the seller's documents to the allotment or registry, and ask for a no-dues certificate. For a house, confirm the building plan was approved. Our Lahore guides cover prices, approvals and the paperwork step by step.
