Awami Villas Bahria Town Lahore development charges and Sector F Bahira Town Lahore discussion on Lahore Real Estate

I have heard Bahria town has imposed some development charges on Awami Villas Lahore ... are you aware of this development?? if yes then how much are the charges, installment size and when is the first installment due?? thanks 

Hussain Kaisrani replied on Sunday, June 21, 2015 07:56 PM PST No brother, I have not heard about it yet though imposition of some charges is expected in near future. I will share it here till Tuesday if such announcement is made.

dubai replied on Sunday, June 21, 2015 08:46 PM PST kaisrani sb ... its confirmed.. Bahria has imposed the charges. its 2 lacs plus .. will get the exact figure tomorrow morning.. actually i sold my file on Friday and today dealer told me about this development that I have been saved as buyer will now pay the charges.

Hussain Kaisrani replied on Sunday, June 21, 2015 09:05 PM PST Thanks for the confirmation though it is only a dealer's announcement. No such announcement was made till Saturday morning. I am expecting an amount of Rs.250,000/= to be imposed. How much you got from your Awami Villa's sale. Was it a Standard or premium Villa? Best of luck for your sale.

Moin Khan replied on Sunday, June 21, 2015 09:15 PM PST @ Hussain Kaisrani: Sorry for throwing out of topic Q here. Did anyone get possession of Ghazanvi Block / Sher shah in Sector-F?

Hussain Kaisrani replied on Sunday, June 21, 2015 10:00 PM PST @ Moin Khan Sahib, I was of the view that possession of Ghazanvi and Shershah Blocks of Sector F is not yet offered. Hafiz Sajad Sahib stated on this forum that possession has been given. He is a very learned person about Bahria Town projects so we should believe the information provided by him.

Moin Khan replied on Sunday, June 21, 2015 10:09 PM PST @ Hussain Kaisrani I got SHOCKED/SURPRISED to hear that. Since there is no news about this so I though to get a second opinion from you. Hafiz Sajad Sahib seems to be the GURU of BTL and has mentioned that 5 houses are under construction and 10 mapped are approved for construction. It came as a big time surprise as if this is the case then why BT is not beating the drums about this. Still can't believe!!!!

Hussain Kaisrani replied on Sunday, June 21, 2015 10:19 PM PST @ Moin Khan There are many reasons that Bahria Town can not afford to beat the drums and the main reason behind it, is that Sector F is not an approved project. Bahria Town did not own it (or at least will avoid to announce its activities) in the national newspapers etc etc. Secondly Bahria Town Lahore management likes to keep its market slow. Again there are many reason behind this approach but the main one is to reduce the memberships of its non existing projects. Hope this makes some sense.

Moin Khan. replied on Sunday, June 21, 2015 10:35 PM PST @ Hussain Kaisrani. Thanks for the update! It seems like they overbooked Sector F and unable to get the required land that they have planned initially. Now trying to reduce the membership by either buying back to keep a low profile so that prices do not appreciate or merging which is gong at moment. Ref: >> Sector F is not an approved project. I guess sector E is also not approved BUT they have advertised that they completed the development in record time. Thanks again for your input!

dubai replied on Sunday, June 21, 2015 10:40 PM PST @kaisarani sb... it was a premium villa file.. it sold in 17,80,000 rs....actually i want to exit from bahria and invest in DHA...just winding up everything from bahria... fed up of these cunning tactics..atleast DHA will give peace of mind that my investment is in safe heaven of army scheme :)

Hussain Kaisrani replied on Sunday, June 21, 2015 10:55 PM PST @ Moin Khan, You got the point. As per my understanding Bahria Town has not made any announcement regarding its Sector E in national newspapers. I may be wrong if you have personally seen Sector E advertisement. @ dubai, You got a good price and it is a good return on your investment. One should move to DHA if not satisfied with investment in Bahria though Bahria Town is equally rewarding in general. Yes, Its cunning tactics and games are creating disturbance to many of its members. Good Luck brother!

Moin Khan replied on Sunday, June 21, 2015 11:17 PM PST @ Hussain Kaisrani. I can see an upward movement in the prices of Ghazanavi block for last couple of months. That supports what Hafiz sahib's point that 5 houses are under construction and 10 maps are approved for construction. Thanks an bunch!

Hafiz Sajad replied on Monday, June 22, 2015 12:28 AM PST bros let me tell you something the reason for possession is that Quaid block is next to ghaznavi block, i dont remember the rates but 6-8 months ago people with a low budget bought at the end of bt(quaid) to make a house to save 15-20 lac in land cost which would ensure completion of their 10 marla house. i remember a rate diffrence of 8- 10 lacs between quaid and ghaznavi blocks on ground u cant tell the difference only on the map, they are integrated together, one guy instead of quaid bought ghaznavi and went to al-falah building for permission, now bt also wanted construction to start their also so upon a request and justification by the plot owner that all development is complete and there is no difference between quaid and ghaznavi bt gave permission and now many houses are under construction.

HHH replied on Monday, June 22, 2015 12:32 AM PST @ Hafiz sahib Shed some light on BT Karachi project. Is the land bought from the government or is it private land? Is it good to invest?

Hafiz Sajad replied on Monday, June 22, 2015 12:38 AM PST all land bought from govt, all lies in the paper today :), but heaving said that their are no issues, that land was barron every one sold it at their own free will, no coersion involved. all paid for and dont worry, only zardari under the guliteen MR safe from army as long as he cooperates with General Raheel.

HHH replied on Monday, June 22, 2015 12:43 AM PST @ Hafiz Sahib You really are a BT Guru. Tell us about DHA Valley ISB. Malik Riaz was supposed to acquire land and give it to DHA. He didn't. Now what? He was called in GHQ lately for a meeting on the issue. Then, he gave a statement on TV saying issue is only dadocha dam. Is it really just the dam because as far as I know most of the land is also not acquired and not people demanding 6 lacs per kanal for it.

Shah replied on Monday, June 22, 2015 01:00 AM PST @ Hafiz Sahib As you have so much knowledge about bahria town I want to ask an out of topic question for which I am not getting answer any where. The biggest problem that residents face is at canal exit / entry point and we heard that bahria are planning to build a flyover at shahkam chowk. Do you have any news about that or any other solution in their mind to solve this entry problem? Thank you

Hafiz Sajad replied on Monday, June 22, 2015 01:26 AM PST @ HHH MR has given cheques to General Raheel Shareef of close to 30 billion rupees and dated December 2015, they will be cashed if he doesnt by land and deliver DHA valley by December. @Shah sahib bt has gotten approval of the flyover at shahkaam chowk, they have also paid the necessary bribes to Punjab govt for construction. the problem is that factory on the chowk where the signal is, they are a strong group and are affiliated with n league, they have a stay in place also the owner of imperial college building has gotten a stay, they tried to cover the canal road with a wall sometime back but bahria stopped them by sending security guards, so its stays after stays. Punjab govt is not in favor of bt in lahore so they arent doing much to help. MR is busy in karachi so even hes not paying much attention to the problem yet.

Moin Khan replied on Monday, June 22, 2015 02:39 AM PST @Hafiz Sajad [BT Guru]. Can you please advise if BTL allow for 2 car porch for a corner 10M plot?

Rasheed replied on Monday, June 22, 2015 06:01 AM PST @ Hussain Kaisrani: Ads given by Bahria in newspapers and on its website http://bahriatown.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=371&Itemid=120 http://bahriatown.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=312&Itemid=120 http://www.bahriatown.com/images/stories/hi_ci311c57s4.jpg

Hussain Kaisrani replied on Monday, June 22, 2015 09:01 AM PST @ Rasheed Thanks for providing the link of ads. I am aware of these ads appeared on website and distributed as a separate paper placed in the newspaper. My point is that Bahria Town did not make any advertisement and announcement about its Sector E and F in national newspaper (at least in the Punjab). I would be obliged if you could provide the link from any national newspaper. If we can find such an announcement / ads, it will help us in understanding the level of Bahria Town's relations with LDA (and Lahore Sarkar). Thanks.

Arshad replied on Monday, June 22, 2015 10:29 AM PST Dear Kaisrani , after Sept 2013, only LDA approved societies/ areas can give ads in newspapers, ads are not allowed now according to LDA by laws till u get approval , even u can't start road construction ant can't give map

MA Khan replied on Monday, June 22, 2015 11:39 AM PST @ Hafiz Sajjad Sb! Thanks a lot again for all the valuable information above. Lets sum up the matter by considering worst case scenarios. Whats the bottom line of Bahria Town in following cases: 1- MR fails to buy the land and deliver the DHA Valley Project and Army encashes his cheques. 2- BT fails to deliver Sector-F, Golf View, Greens etc. in next 1-2 years. 3- MR is Held by authorities for Land issue in Karachi. 4- MR is bankcrupted and fails to deliver non finished projects and files. 5- Sector D,E, F are declared illegal by authorites, then what will be standing of owners. 6- As all Bahria Land in Malik Riaz name, then what will happen when he dies (Mal Allah give him long life and seha) but as you know one man is different from society owned land. ( Either affectees will be paid back be NAB or ARMY ) So the point is to know te results in worst case scenario. :) :) :) :) :) Regards

Hussain Kaisrani replied on Monday, June 22, 2015 12:54 PM PST @ Arshad Thanks a lot for making the matter clear. Yes, this is the reason that there is no chance of appearing any ad. regarding unapproved sectors of Bahria Town, Lahore. @ MA Khan, Brother! why should we discuss these kinds of extremes. Nothing like this is going to happen so only practical issues should be taken into consideration and discussion. Lets hope for the best.

Moin Khan replied on Monday, June 22, 2015 01:43 PM PST Question: Is DHA is also approved by LDA?

MA Khan replied on Monday, June 22, 2015 02:10 PM PST @ Hussain Kaisrani, I agree with you that nothing will happen Inshallah & All will be good hopefully. Just as a lighter side i raised this issue as lot of people were cursing for their investments in Bahria which are not handed over or balotted yet. In fact the reality is that Sector F is only 2 years old and 4 blocks are already developed and greens also not very old project, whereas Comparing with any other society and specially in DHA next generation gets grown up till the possession.

E.A. replied on Monday, June 22, 2015 02:23 PM PST Dear MA Khan Sb. The problem is not the DELAYS, actually it is UNCERTAINTY, while investing with DHA one thing sure that they issue files against the land only while BT issue files in the AIR and they issue more than the available land. so once you know that land is available then by end of the day the specific project will be developed, but once you know that Land is not available then somehow you get upset, like Greens, Golf and Sector F (additional land for non-balloted files). anyhow I am not against BT, I still hope that the things will get on track soon and everybody will get exit on profit from Bahria Town. lets wait and look forward to hear something favorable from Bahria about the unfinished projects. Thanks

MA Khan replied on Monday, June 22, 2015 02:48 PM PST Dear E.A Sb, I agree with you. Being human it is natural to worry about hard earned money being invested in these projects. Actually in these type of uncertain situations I have seen that always investor makes money by purchasing files/plots from common people who have one or 2 plots at minus and makes money on the same later on when storm of uncertainty is over. As I am witness that lot of people dumbed their plots and files in 2012 when MR & Arslan Iftikhar issue was there and investors purchased all these items at very cheap prices and later on made huge profits on those things and those who sold at that time kept seeing the rising prices in Bahria and got astonished. I hope all will be good Inshallah. Regards

Muhammad Asif replied on Tuesday, June 23, 2015 05:51 AM PST @ Hussain Kaisrani Sb, Appreciate if you can share some info regarding Awami villas. What is the difference between standard and premium awami villas. How long you see for these villas to get developed and get possession. Thanks.

Hussain Kaisrani replied on Tuesday, June 23, 2015 10:50 AM PST @ dubai I have got it confirmed that Bahria Town has not imposed any development charges on its Awami Villas project yet. Your dealer has provided you wrong information in this regard. Having said that I am of the view that Bahria Town will impose some kind of charges upto Rs.200,000/=. It seems that the amount will be payable after possession and in installments. @ Rasheed I am sorry that these files are not being downloaded / opened on my computer. You may email it to me on kaisrani@gmail.com Thanks. @ Muhammad Asif The project is discussed in detail here on this page as well as on my blog. Please search Awami Villas here or use the following link for further information. http://kaisrani.blogspot.com/search?q=Awami+Villas Things are now changed a lot. In present situation, Awami Villas Lahore are being offered as an apartment / flat project in Bahria Orchard Lahore. The premier villas are supposed to be offered on ground floor and standard on other floors. These villas are being developed in Bahria Orchard. The speed of construction work (check from the link provided below) shows that possession could be offered within 2015. These are my views and I don't have any inside information. http://kaisrani.blogspot.com/2015/06/bahria-orchard-and-awami-villas-lahore.html

Please Click HERE to get an idea of The Official Map of Lahore Ring Road in Bahria Town Lahore area (Updated on January 26, 2016)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Looks like Golf View Residencia, Bahria Town Lahore is finished, it is totally covered by Lahore Ring Road.

NRP replied on Friday, June 19, 2015 11:01 PM PST Experts! Please advise the impact of LRR interchange on the prices of Nargis Block plots as the only interchange of Bahria Town will be behind Nargis Block. Thanks

E.A replied on Friday, June 19, 2015 11:21 PM PST Dear Sajid This project is not yet finialized/finished... Bahria Town may find a good solution for that.....just think about the on ground houses and commercial plazas which are coming umder LRR...i still doubt that LRR will from this route....BT may offer funds to rocate the same... lets hope for the best and wait..

Hafiz Sajad replied on Friday, June 19, 2015 11:22 PM PST It is hopeful that it will become the most expensive block of bahria town, if they cover the nala.

Hafiz Sajad replied on Friday, June 19, 2015 11:31 PM PST E.A sahib it seems unlikely because if they were to change the route, they would have to do it from Gajumatha. From Adda plot Raiwind road they would have to give an almost 90 degree angle to the LRR, which seems impossible. from Gajumatha the cost and distance would be doubled if they were to try to avoid bt, I don't think the cash strapped Malik Riaz would support that, he has given cheuqus worth 30 billion to the army for past unfinished projects and one cheque of 8 billion has already bounced :) this is dealer gossip and trying to keep their investors calm to whom they have sold plots to keeping high margins.

Hafiz Sajad replied on Friday, June 19, 2015 11:34 PM PST the cost Malik Riaz would have to pay for the relocation of LRR would be very very huge he can simply give good location plots to the effected people of LRR, that wouldn't even cost him 10% of what he would have o spend for LRR relocation.

overthesea replied on Friday, June 19, 2015 11:49 PM PST Hafiz sb, it seems then whole project will be flopped then Malik riaz how he will compensate the all or only compensation for those whose land will be actually utilized for LRR. As premiums paid considering the complete project not for the half.Half project have no worth.

Hafiz Sajad replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 12:09 AM PST Sector D,E,F are unapproved from any authority even till now. it is all fault of malik riaz not fault of poor people who spent there hard earned money investing and trusting him. please take the example of Dha 6 and Dha 8 area many houses and shops were leveled in 2012 for north loop construction. even when Dha 8 wasn't built, punjab govt did not consider rerouting to avoid Dha 8 instead they proceeded to cut through it.

NRP replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 12:10 AM PST If I am not wrong it is Govt's responsibility to compensate the affectees of LRR for acquiring the land and not of Malik Riaz, however there are chances of mutual coordination between Govt and Bahria where Bahria will be compensating the affectees on behalf of Govt. Lets hope for the best in the interest of all.

Hafiz Sajad replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 12:10 AM PST overthesea bhai according to my info he will only compensate thoes whos plots will be effected, it is clear that the blame lies with malik riaz as this map of LRR was made in 2007 and sector E was launched in 2012 and Golf in 2013.

NRP replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 12:21 AM PST Hafiz Sb, you mean to say that these sectors D,E& F were no approved by any authority due to the fact of LRR route which was designed in 2007? However, the Land in these sectors is in the name of Bahria or still not cleared ir in litigation? Please shed some light if you have any information. As There are rumors that Jasmine Block land is still under litigation and some part of Sector C Commercial. Is it true?

Hafiz Sajad replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 12:24 AM PST NRP sahib the land is on MR name registry is on his name. Punjab govt will pay him he will pay the people. govt offered an effectiee of 8 marla comm on mb sector E 10 lacs for his plot which he bought for 6 caror.

NRP replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 12:29 AM PST In this case This is all fault of MR and he has to bear the loss. Please advise if you have any info if Bahria is acquiring the land for Sector F file holders or this project is still in the air for those whose plots are not developed yet like Alamgir Block, Sheikh Saadi or those who only have files of Sector F and have paid all installments. thanks

Hafiz Sajad replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 12:30 AM PST NRP bhai you are completely correct about Jasmin and sector C comm. people who own the land in these two places are asking 1 billion rupees per 2 kanal from bt management. it takes years to get a sector approved espacially a comm area. sector C comm area was approved 5 years after its launch. back in 2011 people were hungry for bt plots who were being sold for multiply prices gold rush. Bahria Town did not care about approval they sold one sector every 6 months. that is why punjab govt dont care for sector E,F they are illegal in there eyes.

Hafiz Sajad replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 12:38 AM PST bt has opened merging of all unfinished projects into all on ground projects. anything unfinished is being wraped up. bt has winded up its lahore business and shifted attention to karachi. any amout weather full paid of down payment is being adjusted in on ground plots.

NRP replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 12:38 AM PST It is really strange that how MR built commercial on Qabza Land and now the owners of these Plazas are facing the consequences. Terrible. Please share if you know anything if Bahria is acquiring land fir Sector-F. Thanks

NRP replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 12:40 AM PST But still there are 4000+ files which needs ballot. How many will be merged? Still a lot need to be done by Bahria.

Hafiz Sajad replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 12:44 AM PST Bahria Town not buying land they are dinosaurs they have huge bellys, they already merged total of 6000 files of civic comm, greens, and 10 marla sector F whats another 4000 files, phase 9 pindi files they merged over 20,000 :)

overthesea replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 12:46 AM PST Hafiz sb your feedback seems more realistic as bahria is merging only commercial as per the notice not the residential files of golf view. So based on this discussion those people will be adjusted with on ground plots some where else. In that case will there be any future of remaining residential plots in GVR whats your opinion?

Hafiz Sajad replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 12:47 AM PST dont know if uv heard they are merging golf commercial also. Sector F Comm and residential plots also which not on ground

NRP replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 12:49 AM PST Do you think BT will develop Sheikh Saadi and Alamgir blocks as I have few plots in these blocks and confuse whether to exit ir hold as there are rumors that they dont have land for these announced blocks.

NRP replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 12:52 AM PST Possibility of Golf View commercial could be due to the reason that this space will be taken by LRR as per the pic shared by Hafiz Sb and most probably remaining area of Golf view remains the same.

Hafiz Sajad replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 12:53 AM PST @overthesea GVR will be built in orchard raiwind road. NRP brother i am only telling what I know according to my info nothing else will be developed including saadi and alamgeer. but u should go to bt office and break heads of khurum rajput and saad for honest answers.

overthesea replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 12:53 AM PST Yes i saw merger notice for sector F, Greens and GVR (commercial) which was shared by Hussain Kaisrani sb few days back on this forum. On Google earth construction work can be seen till Ghaznavi, plz have a look.

dubai replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 12:54 AM PST im also interested in the fate of alamgir block as i unfortunately hold a plot there

Hafiz Sajad replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 12:55 AM PST GVR in orchard will have more land and better dimentioned map and possibly doubled plots then current golf.

NRP replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 12:56 AM PST Thank You Hafiz Sb. Much appreciated your shared info. Regards

Hafiz Sajad replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 12:57 AM PST ur welcome. Ghaznavi on ground not under threat, good future.

dubai replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 01:00 AM PST @ hafiz sb... what do yu see the future of alamgir block? it would also be adjusted in orchard?

NRP replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 01:00 AM PST May be BT management is planning to adjust Sector F file holders in orchard. Lets see. Hafiz sb, as these sectors D E F are not approved yet? So is there any threat or not although on ground and land in the name of MR.

Hafiz Sajad replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 01:08 AM PST @dubai any and all projects being merged are being done in bt mohnalwal project canal road project not in orchard, any pople left at the end will full paid files might be given plots in tipu 10 marla and kanal. @ NRP their is no issue of Sectors d,e,f, only the issue of LRR passage. bt still is safe. given time of a few years all sectors will get approved.

dubai replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 01:11 AM PST i think bahria town empire will fall on its own weight due these frauds. MR cannot sell even a single new plot in lahore and ultimately these frauds will also affect karachi project and it will fail also as its an IT age and yu cannot lure karachi investors into fraud as they will be well aware of maliks frauds in lahore and Rawalpindi

Hafiz Sajad replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 01:15 AM PST MR is the most dishonest, Honest biznesman i have seen, he might con people with tricks and plays on peoples greed but he keeps his on ground and developed projects clean and safe from littigation, bt management has already offered the claimers of sector C comm and jasmin land 20 caror per 2 kanal which is a very big price and shows bt's commitment. they will first cut your throut and then drive you to the hospital for treatment :)

dubai replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 01:28 AM PST Lol...very nice analysis..one more question..i hold a corner facing park plot in alamgir block.. when theg offer adjustments, they take care of these tbings? Like do they offer similiar specs plot or rellu katte ki tarah kahin bhi phaink dete hain? :)

HHH replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 01:35 AM PST @Hafiz Sajad Whats the latest for Green Valley file holders? Will they get plots in other projects or is there land for it at the back of Haeir factory?

Hafiz Sajad replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 01:51 AM PST they will give the same spec plots, only files they will throw anywhere. Green valley project is totally finished, will be adjusted and consumed. All of you must understand that Greens, civic comm, Sector F 50%, Golf 70% were their last frauds in a very hot market, they threw thoes to earn an estimated 24 billion rupees which other wise they would have earned in 10 years later if they delivered projects, they struck when the iron was hot. now they are buying land at 2 lac per acar in karachi and selling at 10 caror they will never come to a place where land owners are asking for 2 caror for acar lahore.

Hafiz Sajad replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 01:56 AM PST overthesea bhai according to my info he will only compensate those whose plots will be effected, it is clear that the blame lies with malik riaz as this map of LRR was made in 2007 and sector E was launched in 2012 and Golf in 2013. He knowingly did this Zulm because he thought Zardari was president and LRR would be moved with out any cost to him but punjab govt was smart they delayed the project and lucky for them the federal govt changed. You must remember LRR is not intruding bt but bahria town is blocking LRR.

Arshad replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 01:58 AM PST Any news about sector F file holders in these days ?

KSA replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 02:03 AM PST Hafiz Sb; From where you got this GVR map on which blue lines are drawn. These blue lines are official??? It seems to be this is fake. Whats the justification of map?? If you have then please share otherwise not playing with people in the month of Ramadan

Hafiz Sajad replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 02:03 AM PST Malik Riaz knowingly did this because he thought ppp was gona stay and LRR would be moved with out any cost to him but punjab govt was smart they delayed the project and lucky for them the govt changed. You must remember LRR is not intruding bt but bt is blocking LRR.

HHH replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 02:08 AM PST @Hafiz Sajad Sahib What do you mean when you say they will throw files anywhere? Can you please elaborate? Will they give money as compensation or files at alternative locations/projects? Will they compensate only full paid files of Green Valley or partial paid as well? Is it a good idea to merge files now or should we leave it as it is? Please answer as it is very important for many people. Thanks for your contribution here.

BT Holder replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 02:10 AM PST I visited Bahria office in Alfalah building Lahore yesterday. I met with the town planning incharge. According to him Malik Riaz is taking up the issue personally with the government regarding LRR route. According to currentmap it will cross through Bahria Golf view residencia and populated areas of Bahria town. He said that they have to make Golf view residencia project successful at all cost. I personally believe that an alternative route is very likely because otherwise Bahria town Lahore project would be seriously damaged not only in terms of its reputation but also in terms of financial loss.

Verbal tasaliyaan available a lot from Bahria team but real commitment is missing.

NRP replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 05:21 AM PST @ Khan! What made you think that Hafiz is spam. If you have any contradictory info or if some of his news are wrong then provide us the correct info. This practice of merely labelling somebody is not good. Regards.

KSA replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 06:09 AM PST I think we should raised this issue to our media that bahria sold files without lands in GVR lahore in order to put pressure on BT

Yahya replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 10:28 AM PST There are chances that Bahria will compensate effectees in bahria Orchard...Just check the prices are being increased in bahria orchard daily..to attract and j ustify the effectees...

HHH replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 11:45 AM PST @Hafiz Sajad Sb Is it a good idea to merge files of Green Valley? and pay all installments? or leave it?

Khan replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 11:53 AM PST We shouldn't keep quiet & take the fraud of MR as will of Allah. All effected people of sector F, Golf Residencia etc etc should assert their right. We have invested our hard earned money in these projects & we have all the legal as well as moral right to protect our interest & investment. No doubt MR is a powerful man have filthy worth but we must realise that we too if united together & chalk out proper strategy would be ultimate winners. So I suggest that we should chalk out a plan to exert pressure on Bahria Town by adopting legal as well as other tactics so that our hard earned money is protected. I'm sure MR soon will be held responsible for his ulterior motives in Karachi & will be going to face the music so we must all be united & file complaint before the NAB for the redressal of our valuable right.

Hafiz Sajad replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 12:12 PM PST MR has the media bought and paid for, he just built a huge building for ary in sector E, his grand daughter killed a guy in cold blood for crashing his bike in her land cruiser and his daughter asia set fire to a serving cornals house because his son slept with her daughter 2 weeks before she was to be married, any of this come on the news.

Hafiz Sajad replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 12:18 PM PST for the love of God don't pay installments in Bahria greens valley. U ll only sink ur money deeper u must realize any project in minus or undeveloped bt doesn't cancel files due to unpaid installments. Bahria greens is both in minus and undeveloped

E.A. replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 12:46 PM PST Dear Hafiz Sb,. can you please introduce yourself, whether you are a effectee or a dealer? secondly, i think personally that we should wait for the final words from BT management officially, till this moment nothing is clear so what should get panic.., i am an effectee but still i am in patience, as this is a key for success.., let us wait for positive news, as i am sure MR will find a good solution for this situation, otherwise he would have to wind up everything, which is unlikely Thanks

Hussain Kaisrani replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 01:44 PM PST @ Hafiz Sajad, Thank you very much for sharing valuable information with us all. I fully agree with you and second your comments about Bahria Town project. You seem to be a clear minded person. You have in depth knowledge about Bahria town, its management and working methodology. Regards.

MA Khan replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 02:02 PM PST @ Kaisrani Sb, What do you see the future of plot holders in Sheikh Saadi & Alamgir blocks and how long it will take? Please share your information about it as the owners of Ghaznavi, Tipu and other developed blocks are enjoying the rising prices whereas other are stuck. Thanks.

overthesea replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 02:12 PM PST Kaisrani sb, you were supposed to share with people what actually done by hafiz sb. Sorry to say in your comments I could never figure out either u r with public or with Bahria. In your last comments to E.A you were advising obligation for on time payment of installments. However u would have told people the same shared by Hafiz

Hafiz Sajad replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 02:27 PM PST thank you Kaisrani sb. can admin kindly post my my previous post it was referred to admin. E.A bhai I m am an investor of bt and also Alhumdalilah enjoy the status of being very close to main dealers Athar, shahid qadri, Naeem ahmed, babar mahad, Wasi shah, and of course shahid mehmood qureshi. I have made a trumendus amout of money from bt comm i have plazas on c mb comm and only hold comms in Sector E, F ,D and golf, dont get me wrong as much as i hate tactics of bt, i have made more money here then i could have in 100 yers from Dha

Hafiz Sajad replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 02:35 PM PST i have encoured heavy losses in civic comm and greens, which is y i have become so ajatated with bt. u r rite we should wait and see what happens with LRR.

overthesea replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 02:41 PM PST Can we have concluding comments on this topic. Green valley no need to pay installments in my case I paid only down payment as per advise of my dealer. Golf view balance 2 or 3 installments after final confirmation of LRR. any other input if missed then advise

Hussain Kaisrani replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 02:44 PM PST @ MA Khan, I know that Bahria Town is facing serious problems in getting required land for its remaining Sector F. I think that they will try to reduce the memberships. For this purpose they will be using tactics like merging, delaying and creating uncertainty. Meaning investors will have to wait a lot to see their plots on ground. @ Overthesea Thanks for your comment. I am writing about Bahria Town since 2004 and readers are aware to whom with I am. Bahria Town has included terms and conditions which every member is bound to agree by signing its membership. According to these terms and conditions, every member is bound to pay the installments in time. The member has agreed upon cancellation of membership without any refund if two consecutive installments are unpaid. And I have seen people crying when their plots were cancelled due to non payment. And I receive emails from Sector F members that their files were not included in ballot due to non payment and no one is listening to them.

E.A. replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 02:46 PM PST Dear Hafiz Sajad Bhai, thank you very much for the info, and thanks to Almighty Allah that much you have today, you are much close to these guys, most probably Naeem may can help in this regard to get the latest information on discussion of MR with the government, you are kindly requested to keep us updated on any further information you receive from any source, as a small investor of BT, I just want to say that BT was a heaven 2 years back for any investor, but they time they launched one after one projects and did not deliver ,it became worse to invest here and that's why many people get stuck with their hard earned income as well. MR must be having some discussions with the government on LRR route, I am also trying to get those information, If I get it I will publish here, if you got some....please share. Thanks

Hafiz Sajad replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 02:56 PM PST let me tell you one last thing. i dont mean to offend or cause heart ache to anyone but the route bt has proposed is also through Sector E, bt's route choice is only to minimize the damage to its plots. LRR will not pass all of bt by, I know this because I am a very good friend of the town planner Amjad Nawaz Bhatti. we have lunch or dinner atleast once a week in my plaza.

HHH replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 03:10 PM PST @Hafiz Sahib Some people have stated recently at this forum that BT is acquiring land behind Haeir factory at Raiwand Road. Also, near BT sector A. Is there any truth to these rumors, as per your information?

E.A. replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 03:17 PM PST Dear Hafiz Sb. Thanks again for sharing information, can you let us know if revised LRR plan is still passing through Golf project? Thanks

E.A. replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 03:20 PM PST PST. I mean to say that BT proposed plan is still passing through the golf project? Thanks

Hafiz Sajad replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 03:26 PM PST the hire factory thing is a rumor made to keep green valley holders quite till all files are merged it has circulated the market since they decided not to make green valley, it was a joint venture between hamza shahbaz and MR but they had a falling out so bt is now trying to finish it off. the land near to Sector A is actually next to nfc 2 comm between multan road and canal road, it is already developed where a 200 ft mb was gona touch sector F and only kanal plots in that project. now even that is coming under the LRR SL3 interchange on Multan road.

Hafiz Sajad replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 03:35 PM PST @E.A according to bt proposed map Golf is totally clear.

BT Comm replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 03:38 PM PST Hafiz sahib, one should hold commercial in Sector D across the mini golf or sell it ? As per dealers, this commercial will not gain much even after 2-3 years due to it's location. What is the current selling price for 5 marla comm near to mini golf commercial in sector D bt.

MA Khan replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 03:40 PM PST Dear Kaisrani sahib & Hafiz Sahib, thanks a lot for your valuable info. @ Hafiz Sahib, as per your previous comment where BT is offering 20 Crore each to Sec-C commercial plot and plazas holders, I believe BT is still doing a great deal as if you compare it with the 1 billion Rs demand for each 2 Kanal, it is still saving of billions for Bahria. However, In my opinion, if this happens then it will have 2 effects, 1- Land owners of that area will reduce the prices to the realistic level and will make a fair deal with Bahria as they are black mailing bahria on this land due to lot of construction activity in this area. 2- Bahria Sec-C Commercial will have no effect and the confidence of investors and plaza owners will boost up. However, if owners of Sec-C Commercial accept BT offer, and BT doesnt buy this land from the owners then it will have a very bad impact on the location and Sec- C Commercial and on overall look of Bahria and consequently there could be a separation or construction of walls in this area. As you are also having plazas and commercial plots along with relations with Bahria officials, please shed some light on this issue. Regards.

Hafiz Sajad replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 03:44 PM PST bt made the mistake of giving the comm in the wrong place they should have made the 80ft from canal road the comm road. price is from 170-190 lacs honestly this commercial will only be for normal venders and grocery shops which is why not a bright future, still after 3 plazas been completed they have not been rented fro over a year and a half now. i cant advise either way :)

MA Khan replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 03:49 PM PST Right Saying. Means it is not a big area which is affected and land is not in MR name? Further, please advise all other land of Jasmine is cleared or not. I mean to ask that how much land is not clear in this area specially for residential in Sec-C. Thanks.

Hafiz Sajad replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 03:54 PM PST MA Khan sahib the land in question is a patch of land of 4 kanal right in the center of mb Sector C right where plot no 20c comm in the park they cut, it includes Al-zafa estate on mb Sector C, its halarious to me how stupid bt was that the kabzaed

Hafiz Sajad replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 03:57 PM PST khan sahib dont worry any land uncleared bt will pay 2 billion if they have to, not our head ache

MA Khan replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 03:57 PM PST Thanks for the info. Regards.

BT Comm replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 04:07 PM PST Hafiz sb, If one sell from Comm D, then where should he invest in BT ? or do you suggest any other better options in other societies ? I am only interested in commercial property and can add another 80 to 90 lacs on top of what i will get after selling D 5 marla ... so let's say any commercial property for 250 - 270 lacs with good anticipated gain in 3-5 years. thank you

Hafiz Sajad replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 04:15 PM PST bro personally im waitin for LRR so i can sell some property from bt and shift it to dha, i would say wait for RR, then with a handsome amount invest somewhere else jitna girna tha utna gor chuka hai

BT Comm replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 04:23 PM PST Thank you Hafiz Sb, I am only worried about Dha property to be sky high by the time, and we wait for LRR to be completed and to see some appreciation in BT lahore properties. Anyway, dont have any buyer as well... so we can only wait.

IQ replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 04:26 PM PST Hafiz sb. One last question. I have 2 kanal files of sector F fully paid not ballotted. can you please tell any info about its future?

dubai replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 04:38 PM PST @hafiz sb..what is yur advice for alamgir plot holder?? my dealer was advising me to exit at 5 lac loss or it can be worse with time...acc to him we can sell around eid as more overseas ppl come...what do yu suggest?? should hold and wait or sell and re invest in DHA???

FS-KSA replied on Saturday, June 20, 2015 09:01 PM PST One comment in above posts suggests that a certain portion of sector C commercial of Bahria Town Lahore is also not clear, for possible dispute, litigation or for some other reason, etc. We have recently purchased a 8 Marla commercial plot on B side (in the lane 42 - 45) of the sector C of Bahria Town Lahore. Is this specific lane also not clear Please comment. Jazakallah!

Bahria Orchard and Awami Villas Lahore - Latest Update and Pictorial Report

I have recently (on last Saturday) visited Bahria Orchard project thoroughly and was amazed to see the best possible development standard, vast roads, hundreds of Awami Villas (now apartments) under construction, main gates and entrances, school and world class Arena.

Bahria Town main office for all projects of Bahria Town Lahore, grand mosque, Hospital and a petrol pump, many monuments including Trafalgar square are under construction. The cleanliness and maintenance was simply amazing. There are lots of homes and villas constructed.

I was never fan of Bahria Orchard project but after spending few hours there I was mesmerized. I decided to remain there after sunset to see the atmosphere. The lighting and security was seen every corner of the project. The two way approach (Raiwind Road and Sundar side Road) is another positive of this project.

It is about 6 KM away from Lahore Ring Road interchange on Raiwind Road and quite possibly same distance would be in between Bahria Town and Bahria Orchard. Some knowledgeable friend can shed some light on this aspect.

It is still under priced mainly for the reason that Bahria Town is not offering possession of Low Cost Scheme and Overseas Block though most of the area is fully developed. I understand that Bahria Town is having problem of excessive memberships than available plots on ground. They need to manage the issue before offering the possession.

Few small changes has been made in present map (especially in Block C, J and G). Buyers should check the updated map from Bahria Orchard office before finalizing the deal.

Thanks.

@ Hussain Kaisrani sb ... good to see your valuable comments. can you further elaborate the current status of awami villas apartments?? like how much construction has been done and when do yu see them handed over??? i hold a file of awami villas for a long time...yur input will be highly appreciated...

Hussain Kaisrani replied on Tuesday, June 9, 2015 07:09 PM PST 

@dubai
I am on same boat as bought an Awami Villa a year ago. I surveyed Bahria Orchard to make a decision about my Awami Villa (apartment).
Bahria Town's decision of changing Villas into apartment is a real deceiving for the investors who waited for around 10 years. After visiting Awami Villa construction and speedy work, I understand that one should wait for its possession.
The imposition of some development / possession charges are also expected which will again be a wrong decision.
The construction speed shows that (if Bahria wants) possession could be offered within this year BUTTTTT there are some problems again. As per my information there are 1,000 + members of Awami Villas project and numbers of under construction villas are around 600. If the reduction of membership would not be possible then there will be balloting for possession. Lets see how things moves on.
I have, however, decided to hold it. I see good return if sold after possession. Also one can easily get it rented out as hundreds of Bahria Town staff members and other staff of different offices in Bahria Orchard need residence in the area.
Good Luck!

thanks for the input... I guess its typical sketchy bahria business of overselling a project. im having good offers recently. may be its better to exit at this time bcoz if my file doesnt get balloted this time then the price will crash as bahria will take another decade to accomodate remaining files :)

Dear Kaisrani, Jameel and Optimist bhai

Do you think it is safe to invest in Fazaia and Lake city now before the final map of LRR? If the land comes under the route of LRR, will theplot holders be compensated? Please shed some light on this. Thanks

Thanks for detail answer Hussain Kaisrani Sahib,

Can you please let us know what's the current market price for these villas (Flats now may be) and how much covered area would be?
Thanks

Hussain Kaisrani replied on Tuesday, June 9, 2015 10:43 PM PST 

@ Freedom - You are welcome brother.
I am sorry that I do not have an exact idea. It would be around Rs.18 Lac or so.
Brother @dubai has mentioned that he is offered good rate so I would request him to provide us information about prevailing market rates.

I am uploading photographs of my recent visit of Bahria Orchard and will be sharing the link here shorty.

An important point I noticed that Bahria Town has left using / calling it Bahria Orchard anymore. On few main places it was mentioned as Bahria Town. The board on Main Raiwind Road is showing it Bahria Town. Same is the situation when we see Telephone exchange and Sundar Road sign board etc.
As Bahria Town has a plan to link both Bahria Town and Bahria Orchard directly so there are many chances that both will be called Bahria Town, Lahore.
