Buying a plot in Lahore is one of the safest and most profitable investments — but only if you choose the right plot, location, and documentation.
Most buyers make decisions based on dealers’ words without verifying anything, which leads to fraud, blocked files, and delayed possession.
This guide explains exactly what to check before buying a plot in Lahore, especially if you are a first-time buyer.
⭐ 1. Verify the Society Approval (LDA Approval Status)
Before anything else, check:
-
Is the society LDA approved?
-
Is the NOC complete?
-
Are all blocks approved or only some?
Unapproved societies often face:
✔ Delays
✔ Legal issues
✔ No development
✔ No utilities
👉 Visit LDA’s official website to confirm approval.
⭐ 2. Check Owner Verification (Fard / Ownership Document)
Always request:
-
Fard (Ownership Certificate)
-
Owner’s CNIC copy
-
Allotment letter / Transfer letter
Then verify Fard through:
-
Punjab Land Record Authority (PLRA)
-
Nearby Arazi Record Center
Never give token without verifying ownership.
⭐ 3. Check Exact Plot Location on Map
Don’t trust verbal directions.
Confirm:
-
Exact plot number
-
Street number
-
Corner / facing park / near commercial
-
Width of road
-
Plot dimensions
Ask for:
✔ Society map
✔ Site visit picture
✔ Google Pin location
Plot location directly affects future price.
⭐ 4. Confirm Development Status
A non-developed plot may take years to get possession.
Check:
-
Roads
-
Sewerage
-
Electricity
-
Water lines
-
Street lights
-
Nearby completed houses
Take your own pictures during the visit.
⭐ 5. Understand Price Trends (2023–2025)
Compare:
-
Market demand
-
Recent buying/selling
-
Rates in nearby blocks
-
Size-wise price differences (5, 10, 1 Kanal)
A good agent will show:
✔ Real selling prices
✔ Not inflated demand prices
✔ Real comparisons
Avoid plots that are overpriced compared to surrounding properties.
⭐ 6. Check the Transfer Process & Fees
Every society has its own:
-
Transfer fee
-
Membership fee
-
Stamp duty
-
Capital gain tax (if applicable)
-
Withholding tax
Make sure you know the final cost before deciding.
⭐ 7. Avoid Common Plot Buying Scams
Most common Lahore scams:
-
Double file
-
Duplicate plot number
-
Fake allotment letter
-
Blocked file
-
Open file without ownership
-
“Possession soon” false promises
