Registration fees and utility charges apply to all schemes, after which possession for the homes can be expected over the next 6 to 10 months.
Payment Plan for Open Plots
Commander City offers 80 and 120 square yards residential plots for sale. After the price hike in August 2020, plot prices in Commander City are now PKR 16 lakh and PKR 24 lakh for 80 and 120 square yards, respectively, with 42 monthly instalments.
However, as of February 2020, the project is offering a 50% discount on all open plots, resulting in prices being cut by half. Thus, a plot of 80 square yards is now available for PKR 6 lakh, while a plot of 120 square yards is on sale for PKR 9 lakh. The developers have announced that this discount will last throughout Ramadan 2020 until Eid-ul-Fitr, so be sure to avail it while it lasts!
A registration fee of PKR 1 lakh applies on all plots, houses, and apartments, while charges of PKR 2 lakh are applicable on the corner, park-facing, road-facing, and west-open homes.
Commander City also plans to launch other payment schemes to make it easier for people to get a home in the community.
