Property Types Predefined by Zameen
Keeping in view the demand of the local property market, Zameen’s website has some predefined property types in its filter. These types have been derived according to the preferences of buyers, sellers, tenants and the most famous property trends of the real estate in Pakistan. If you choose the category of ‘Homes’, you will come across property types such as “Houses, Flats, Upper & Lower Portions, Flats, Farm Houses, Rooms and Penthouses.” Similarly, the remaining two categories, namely ‘Plots’ and ‘Commercial,’ are also further divided into dozens of property types.
Defining Your Purpose
People search either to buy or rent a property and this is what defines their search criteria. Keeping this factor into consideration, the developers of Zameen.com have created ‘Buy/Rent’ as one of the primary filters. For each of these purposes, Zameen.com displays properties according to the requirements and preferences of users to make their property hunt more effective. Please make sure you’ve selected the correct purpose before proceeding to the filters.
Filtering the Property by Its Size
A lot of people look for properties having a particular range of covered area and size in their mind. To make this process easier, Zameen.com has filters that effectively work with different area units. You can set it to marla, kanal, square foot or square yard. These measuring units are also interchangeable, for example, you can see the same list of properties with multiple area units as illustrated in the video above.
Filtering the Property by Its Price
Everyone has a price range in their mind when they’re buying or renting a property. The user-friendly filters while searching properties through Zameen.com lead you to a diverse range of properties having prices from thousands to crores.

It is also the best way to get a rough idea as to what you can expect while looking for a property in a price range that is suitable for you.
Search Results
On top of the search result page, as shown above, there are locations in a particular city where properties are located. For example, if you are searching for ‘Houses for Sale in Karachi’, you will see the names of popular areas and neighbourhoods in Karachi such as DHA, Clifton, Khalid Bin Waleed Road, Gulshan Town, Federal B. Area and dozens more. This feature allows you to look for a property area wise and will make the selection of a house easier for you.
