Shifting of Sector C Bahria Town Lahore undeveloped plots to Bahria Orchards, Raiwind Road Lahore

Salaam,

Bahria Town Lahore has shifted undeveloped plots of developed blocks (Gulmohar and Nargis etc) as well as non developed blocks (Blossam, Rose etc) to Bahria Orchards on Raiwind Road Lahore.

Following is the discussion which appeared on Lahore Real Esate on April 16, 2009.

My questions are;

1) Was there any draw done to move sctor C plots to Bahria Orchard?

2) Last but not least, Can someone advise if I should keep what they are offering or try to force them to give me plot in sector C. Please note that they said its going to be Nargis block, if I cancel my Bahria Orchard one.

I'm a little confused about how to proceed and don't have any friend there who could advise me.
This forum seems to be full of knowledgeable people, I would appreciate your input to make up my mind.

New location in Bahria Orchard is a corner one with 100' and 50' wide roads on sides.

Thanks and Allah Hafiz

Faisal Saeed replied on Thursday, April 16, 2009 08:11 AM PST Thanks Dear IR for your kind response. I didn't know that I've this option. Are you sure if its even an option, would they do that? I will be calling them anyway.

Delay sure there is but I see no reason why you should not get your plot. Bahria Orchards is as good as Bahria "C". With the sounthern ring roadgoing bthat way, it should be as livable as 'C'.If take the refund do you hve an alternative or better investment. r.Faisal Saeed should suggest where should he buy. Which society is better than Bahria. Personally I feel Bahria is as good as any other society. It is the only society which has it prices more stable than any other society. If all are bad than it is far less bad than others. Ask CMY to advise you and any tom dick and harry.

(Ahmad) Hussain Kaisrani replied on Thursday, April 16, 2009 10:48 PM PST Faisal Saeed Sahib, Yes! It is not a good practice by Bahria Town but as it happened so you should adopt best option available. The first and best option is to get FULL refund. I agree with IR (Imran Rabbani Sahib). As you have asked whether Bahria will be ready to give the refund or not. The answer is yes but they will give you refund after deducting 20% from the paid amount to Bahria. They will also deduct membership fee and subscription to daily Jinnah. Also the cheque will be post dated. Moreover you will have to work with them to get this refund. If you are not able to get FULL refund then best option to say YES to their offer to Nargis Block. I doubt that they will honour their offer but if they do, please accept it without any further thought. I agree with khan Sahib's view that Bahria Orchard is as good as Sector C but Sector C is a reality and it has now cleared its shape and size after too much shuffling and changing. Bahria Orchard have yet to see many positive and negative things. One should avoid to pass through uncertainty if possible. It will take more (at least) three years to clear its actual face which may be very beautiful. Thanks.
