The Defence Housing Authority (DHA) Gujranwala has turned out to be one of the most popular DHA projects during the first half of 2018. The society managed to pull investors from other DHA projects where immediate returns on investment weren’t expected.
So, just when almost all real estate developments, particularly in Gujranwala and generally all over the country, suffered a blow due to low investment volume, demand for DHA Gujranwala 5-marla plots and 10-marla and 1-kanal plot files continued to exist. Even right now when all of us eagerly await to see the results of the General Elections taking place this month, something big expected in DHA Gujranwala keeps property enthusiasts on the edge.
Latest development
The entry gate of DHA Gujranwala was installed in the recent past, giving people exact information on the society’s main entry point. The latest development is that DHA has purchased a piece of land measuring well over 70 acres on Main GT Road, allowing the society to claim a bigger front on this major road avenue. The news has been confirmed by reliable sources, who also claim that further land acquisition for the project is also underway. In addition, the society is now almost ready to formally announce its Phase I.
Market trends and demand
With many active buyers taking a breather before the upcoming elections in the country, a slight drop in demand has also been witnessed by the investors. In fact, it would be rather accurate to say that the investors have decided to hold on to their investment in DHA Gujranwala for the time being as they believe that some major development is to take buyers by surprise in the next few months. In the meanwhile, a gradual yet minor drop is seen in the rates of plot files and premium on 5-marla plots offered on instalments.
Many expect that all of it is to change soon!
Investors’ anticipations
Almost all agents operating in DHA Gujranwala expect to see some major development to take place soon, where the development could once turn heads of investors all around the globe. DHA is known for its confidentiality, so nothing can be certain unless announced by the developer himself.
Many agents believe that DHA may soon launch 10-marla and 1-kanal plots on an instalment plan. This could also mark formal initiation of development work in its Phase I. This explains why the number of files offered for resale in the market is going down.
A look at market rates
Property rates touched their peak value soon after the launch of 5-marla plots on an instalment plan. With current rates lower by 4% than their peak value, the time appears ripe for investment once again. This is based on anticipation of any major moves DHA Gujranwala is expected to make during the next couple of months.
As of July 4, 2018, the premium on 5-marla plots ranges between PKR 350,000 and PKR 370,000. Given under are the price ranges of 10-marla and 1-kanal affidavit files:
| Size | Price Range in PKR |
| 10-Marla | 3,150,000 – 3,200,000 |
| 1-Kanal | 4,650,000 – 4,700,000 |

I believe that their 10-marla affidavit file is much better for investment. In sha ALlah, rates here for all plot sizes are to go up in the coming years.
how to get involved in it?
Buy 10-marla affidavit file.
I would like to ask that which type of file is better , Affidavit or Allocation one and second thaing If I can buy sitting overseas and How?
You can buy affidavit file while being in abroad but since its an open file which belongs to whoever possesses it, you will be required to be here to get it transferred to your name.
Affidavit file is recommended.
Hi good day all.
I am an overseas and want to invest. Kindly recommend for Gujranwala DHA. which plot size is preferred and whats the new regulation of Govt. of Pakistan regarding overseas Pakistanis. I heard about filer and non filer. overseas fall in which category??
secondly whats difference between Affidavit file and non affidavit.
kindly guide…
Good day to you too
Affidavit file is an open file and once its it transferred to the name of its respective owner, it becomes allocation file; there is transfer fee on it.
All non-filers, be residents or non-resident Pakistanis, can purchase property cheaper than PKR 5 million.
The recommended size is 10-marla, affidavit file.
Ms Samra

You can buy 10 marla affidavit or allocation file on cash. Saeed Mirza can help you further with it; +92-333-811-6672.
samra can you please update when DHA start booking for 10 marla plot?
As soon as the news is out, I will cover it for you.
Salam. If 5 marla plots are available?? I want to purchase a 5 marla plot. Nd what is payment plan? Is there any relaxation?
Yes, 5-marla plots are available on a premium ranging between PKR 350,000 and PKR 370,000. Check complete details here; https://www.zameen.com/blog/what-you-need-to-know-about-dha-gujranwalas-new-deal.html
What is an allocation file and affidavit file; which one is the costlier?
Affidavit file is issued against the land recently acquired. Its buyer is the first owner, who pays 35,200 as membership fee and PKR 10,000 transfer fee. The affidavit file after transfer becomes an allocation file.
Allocation file is taxed with CVT, Stamp duty and other charges amounting to PKR PKR 185,000 for 10-marla file and PKR 305,000 for 1-kanal file.
Market rate of affidavit is comparatively higher as buying it involves less hassle where entire procedure takes place in the DHA office. The difference is almost the same as that of the taxes paid on the allocation file. The DHA sets rate of allocation file.
Market rate of allocation file is negotiable as owner makes his own demand.
PRICE OF 10 MARLA AFFIDAVIT FILE
You can sell it for PKR 3,150,000 and buy it at PKR 3,200,000. The rates are old. You can check latest rates here;https://www.zameen.com/Plots/Gujranwala_DHA_Defence-5121-1.html
HI SAMARA,
DHA launch of 5-marla plots on an instalment.

We can know it for sure only when the DHA announces it. From the market sentiments, it appears that the announcement could be made later in the year or towards the start of 2019.
Please guide as i have deposited the fee for ballatoing but i have not received any feedback weather the ballatoing took place or otherwise.
Ballot for 5-marla plots take place on April 4, 2018. If you had been successful, the DHA must have informed you.
10 Marla plots are available on installments? or any other catagory? Kindly reply through email.
No, on cash only. Installment plan will be announced by the DHA when they decide to announce it.

For the rest of the details, please refer to our old blogs.
AssalamuAlaikum Samra,
Hope you are doing well. I appreciate your article as it’s my first time reading such a piece. Thank you for sharing your research and analysis, it is real helpful for those of us living abroad or for those who are not familiar with the local market in real estate yet.
I have recently moved back to Pakistan from U.S. and am interested in Pakistans’ Real estate market, specifically in Punjab and Gujranwala district seems promising thus far.
Anyhow, I had the chance to drive through Gujranwala today via G.T. rd but was not able to see an Entry Gate for DHA Gujranwala, can you be so kind to share it’s exact location? I have other questions too, but I think it’s best to start off one by one, rather than listing all of them at once.
Thank you
On Google map, the DHA Gujranwala is located less than two kilometres away towards Ghakra from the point marked as DHA Gujranwala Head Office on the Google Map. The society will have more than one entry point and on the point decided earlier to set up the gate was located slightly away from the main road.
Hi, Samra
I’m living in abroad, i would appreciate if you could guide me regarding the procedure for buying plot in DHA-Gujranwala for 10 marla on installment? Can i buy from abroad or is necessary to come in person for buying?what is the difference between file and plot?and where exactly this DHA is in Gujranwala i mean any landmark near to the DHA?Is it worthy to invest in DHA now?
Thank you & Best regards
Hi Samran,
DHA hasn’t launch 10-marla plots yet. In order to do so, they will invite applications from people looking to buy it. You can apply for the offer while being overseas and later find out if you were successful in the ballot. For units offered on an installment plan, you can book it from overseas.
For as long as a property doesn’t have a plot number allotted to it, it remains a file. As soon as a society allots plot numbers against these files, they become plots.
DHA is located between Gujranwala and Ghakar on GT Road. If you use Google map to check the location, it is located less than two kilometres away towards Ghakra from the point marked as DHA Gujranwala Head Office on the Google Map.
