Zameen.com has been extensively covering DHA Valley Islamabad since we are aware that a lot of Pakistanis, from both within the country and overseas, have invested there. These investors have major concerns over the slow development of the project.
With the intention to keep our readers posted about the latest development and the present status of DHA Valley, we do talk to the relevant experts of the industry from time to time and share information with the investors who have been waiting for years to see the value of their DHA Valley property go up.
In this regard, we consulted Property Investment Point CEO Brig (R) Waqar Raja, a renowned real estate agent practicing in Islamabad with extensive knowledge of the market, to discuss the reason for slow development in DHA Valley. Despite the prevailing difference among developers, Mr Raja believes that 2016 is the year when DHA Valley investors will get to see some concrete development in possession of property there.
The management of Defence Housing Society is also getting keener with every passing day to deliver their commitment regarding DHA Valley project, which has already suffered at the hands of somewhat controversial people from the real estate sector as well as important members of the current government.
Looking at the past sale price trends of property in DHA Valley, we have seen a constant price drop followed by a very low demand in the market. Yet the investors of Valley are not willing to sell their property. The decision of holding on to their property in DHA Valley is an indication of the fact that these investors have faith that DHA management will not abandon the project, but soon attend to it, giving a major push to property rates there.
While there are many factors that have convinced investors to hold their investment in DHA Valley, the project’s location is the main one. Direct access from Islamabad Expressway, easy reach from GT Road and close proximity with Kashmir Highway and Kahuta Road have made the locality very attractive for investment. Despite its ideal location, the DHA Valley property was launched at a very reasonable rate, making it even more popular among smaller investors.
The affordability factor of DHA Valley needs on-ground development to attract more investors. Fortunately, the work for infrastructural developments has resumed at various sites in DHA Valley. Speedy construction work at DHA Expressway, Main Boulevard DHA Valley and the bridge are some of the active sites, and the Authority is looking forward to offering the possession of various blocks and DHA Homes in 2016.
Since DHA is a welfare organization and the core focus of the Army Chief is on the welfare of the Ministry of Defence employees, it is quite likely that DHA Valley will be all in shape in a couple of years.
So, yes, your investment in DHA Valley would be ready to offer you returns by 2016. Looks like your sad days are almost over folks. Now, instead of worrying about selling your property there at lower rates, maybe you should consider buying some more land in DHA Valley.

Shahid Sahb, average rate of DHA Valley 8 marla plots is approximately Rs 1,200,000.

any news of magnolia block?
Much of land for Magnolia Block has been acquired by the DHA Valley and as soon as the approach from DHA Expressway is developed, you would Insha Allah see a rise in value of your property. Please wait till 2016 and things will be much more clear by then.
Dear Madam
Thanks for the nice article on DHA Valley however you have only included views of a real-estate agent. Wouldn’t that be nice if you had some views from DHA officials on this, so that we could have a glimpse of the real situation. The bridge and the development work that you are telling, has been under progress for more than a year. I think there is a big game going on between the property tycoon sitting next to DHA (Mr. MR) and and the DHA management… What do you say?
Regards
Dear Yasir,
Yes, i would be tons better to include words from the DHA Management on their Valley project and i will Insha Allah do that soon.
You are right about the other part of your comment and we would like to investigate more about what’s actually causing the delay.
Please stay tuned for the next blog covering DHA’s take on the delay in DHA Valley project.
Take care Yasir.
Dear Ms.zulifqar. We have been waiting for some good news about the completion of projects in DHA Valley (Overseas Blick) since last couple of years after we have paid all installments of our plots in overseas Valley.

Respected Madam SAMRA,
thanks very much for your initiatives being taken consistently , you are providing OXYGEN to the DHA VALLY investors ” specially to OVERSEAS””
I was much sad about my investment ,but now a ray of hope being developed again after reading your BLOG … please continue to guide/update us.& if you add latest development photos this will be great for Overseas…please do it.
My request is that ,please ask DHA Management to Restart the communications/correspondence (stopped by DHA since APRIL – 2012) with their investors to giving tentative possession date ,which will encourage investors to keep their hope alive ,which already dormant . due to this many of them can reinvest as suggested by you in your BLOG ..
MAY ALLAH SHOWER HIS GRACE ON YOU & YOUR SIBLINGS/FAMILY.
thanks very very much.

Thank you very much Mr Ihsan Ullah sahb for your kind words and prayers.
I plan to contact DHA Management and get their take on the ground reality of the project. Zameen.com is using its platform to not just guide and inform the investors but also convince the developers to address the issues concerning the investors. Nothing pleases us more than seeing how our services and efforts benefits real estate investors, especially those living abroad.
Have a good day Ihsan.

In one of your previous article, ‘What’s going on in DHA Valley Islamabad?’ dated October 2, 2014. You mentioned following points followed by my questions.
“The project is planned to stretch over thousands of kanals of land and so far, only 45% of it has been acquired. But before DHA acquires all of the land it needs for the project, concrete infrastructure development in DHA Valley is not possible.”
//So DHA has aquired remaining 65% of land now?//
“Some agents and investors believe that announcement of Dadocha Dam has further complicated the situation by acquiring a big chunk of DHA Valley land at the dam’s proposed site.”
//So Dadocha Dam has been cancelled now?//
“The sad part is that as of now, no one is really sure when these disputes in land acquisition will be resolved and DHA Valley will be able to move forward with its development plans”
//So now you are sure that these disputes has been resolved?//
You consulted Property Investment Point CEO Brig (R) Waqar Raja. He is not from DHA and just speculating about this project. How can you take his words seriously not to mention write a full article on it and that without quoting his exact words.
My plot is in bogunvila block (heck I don’t even know how to spell it, and it reminds me of bailan(roti wala) by the sound of it). This block, as you mentioned in your previous article, is not even in acquired land. So my plot will actually be a boat-house in Dadocha dam lake?(and i don’t wanna tell, how this ‘Dadocha’ word sounds like).
In current scenario I think I gonna write my will to my 4 years old son to give this plot as dowry to his daughter. may be at that time, it will be worth something.
Quite a critical analysis here, i am impressed Wasif and also happy that vigilant readers like you spare time to read my articles.
Now your questions:
“The project is planned to stretch over thousands of kanals of land…..”
//So DHA has aquired remaining 65% of land now?//
No, but it is now moving closer to offering possession to the blocks that lie closer to the DHA Expressway and Main Boulevard.
“Some agents and investors believe that announcement of Dadocha Dam…
//So Dadocha Dam has been cancelled now?//
The cancellation of Dodocha Dam hasn’t been announced but neither has been any plans for its development, which has lead many people to believe that the authorities have either cancelled the project or postponed it for a while.
“The sad part is that as of now, no one is really sure when these disputes in land acquisition will be resolved ….”
//So now you are sure that these disputes has been resolved?//
No, but DHA is now focused on fixing them or at least moving forward with the development process.
Property Investment Point CEO Brig (R) Waqar Raja is not from DHA… How can you take his words seriously… without quoting his exact words.
It was a telephonic discussion, much of his statements were re-written and elaborated since he was answering my questions. Quoting him on the things I asked about and later reorganised would have been unethical. The information mentioned in the article is sourced from him.
My plot is in bogunvila block…. it is not even in acquired land. So my plot will actually be a boat-house in Dadocha dam lake?
About 50% land in Bogenvelia has been acquired. If your plot has been in the balloted land, the offered possession in other blocks will definitely make your land more valuable.
About the worth of your DHA Valley property, I would not just pray but also use this credible platform to exert pressure on the authorities concerned.
The dowry part was funny though.
Have a good day Wasif.
ma sha Allah.
Good to see that you took the criticism positively and tried to answer the questions honestly. Keep up this positive approach and honesty in sha Allah.
Hello,
Can you please update regarding the Daisy Block.
Thanks
So here I am (again). Questions are same. I guess most of the answers will be same also. Do you have any new update? (only if your are not bored of chasing a ghost)
AoA everyone
Mr ihsan Ullah or anyone else who invested in DHA valley for long time ago and still waiting for good news about improving the development and market value ,for them my best wishes.
And if any of you want to sell your property there than plz contact me on my email imran_bkhan@yahoo.com
The reason I want to invest there is ,because of my other family members have already invested there and planned to live there ,which probably will possible in about 5 to 7 years.
So I want to invest there as well
Plz do not hesitate to write if you are willing to sell
Thanks and kind regards
Imran
Dear Samara, This write-up was a good hope booster. Thanks for the update.
I live in DHA2 so have visited Valley a couple of times. What one fails to understand that while they have already completed around 600 homes in 5/8 marla category around September 2013 why do people have to wait for more than another year before they are handed over. Earlier it was said that access road to these homes is under construction from the Rawat Road instead of the Expressway. DHA should be counseled by your organization and others dealing in real estate to hand over these homes as soon as possible so that this area develops quickly and also because some people need accommodation urgently. Electricity has already been provided to valley homes but there is no gas – this was the situation of DHA2 8 years back when we and a few others shifted here but we all did survive.
Best wishes,
Mrs. Shahnaz Farooq
Dear Mrs Farooq,
The reason behind the delay in offering possession of the DHA Valley Homes is the absence of a proper access road to these homes. The authority is currently working on completing the DHA Expressway, the bridge and main boulevard, which is why it is very much likely that the possession of these homes will be offered by 2016.
DHA is aware of how desperate the DHA Valley investors are and that is why it is moving forward with its plans without any proper assistance from the other two developers, Bahria Town and Habib Rafique, who are in agreement with DHA to complete the DHA Valley project.
Let’s hope and pray that the matter is fixed in way which suits everyone.
Dear Mrs. Shahnaz,
I am also planning to shift in DHA II in near future currently living in UAE with my family. Would you please shed some light on the area and its prices for 1 Kanal plots. I will buy within a month or two and will start construction most probably in upcoming summer. Wich sector would you suggest.
Thanks in advance.

Hello Ihsan,
Since your reply is meant for Imran, it would have been better if you posted your comment by clicking on the reply button below Imran’s comment. He would perhaps not read it otherwise since he won’t get an alert of the comments posted on the blog, unless it is a direct reply to him.
Hello Samra,
no reply for my above request,
anyhow
are you considering to take DHA Officials statements to en light actual situation ,.?
thanks
Hi Ihsan,
I just replied to your comment.
Yes, I plan to get i touch with DHA officials to discuss the status and future of DHA Valley but that would require some time. I hope you wouldn’t mind waiting a bit, please.
Dear Madam Samra,
Thank you for the article and replying everyone.
I too have purchased a 8 marla DHA Homes. As i read earlier the possession is expected by 2016. I want to ask if the access would be from DHA Expressway or from Rawat road .
Is Access from Rawat road is under construction .In the pictures if have seen at some sites the Masjid and over head water tank is under construction. what about commericals ( shop /markets)
Please reply.
Hi Amer,
DHA Expressway is to become the main access road for DHA Valley. Commercial markets will open here once the possession of property is handed over and people are given an approval to build their home.
The under construction road in DHA Valley are the Main Boulevard, DHA Expressway and the bridge on the expressway.
I will Insha Allah also share the lates images of DHA Valley.
Dear Madam,
what about the Access road from Rawat side for DHA Homes Access. If we go to Wikipedia we can view Dha Expressway that links the valley is done in patches & is sluggish.
DHA Expressway is to become the main route leading to DHA Valley and as soon as the road completes, entrance from Rawat will be less used.
Dear samra zulifqar,
Do you have any idea about Rose Block main blavard plots ? I have a plot there but I don’t know about this block. My plot is on road 4 main blavard Number 8.
Regards
Many people have confusion about their DHA valley property since the management took too long start development of the project. However, i hope things will become clearer by the end of 2015.
Hi Mam Samra,
Thanks v much for your valuable updates.
Could you pls update me on the blocks closer to expressway and also likely to develop first.
Kindly let me know the best block (s) for investment in 8m boulevard+corner plot (s).
BR,
Z. Ali
Hi Z. Ali,
Sorry for replying to you late.
You must discuss this with the experts active in the market. I would suggest you to give Brig (R) Waqar Raja a call on 0320-5010777. He can tell you about the blocks that are likely to develop earlier.
Relieved to read ur blog. Thanks. I was about to get rid of my plots on loss
pls keep me posted on the situation of magnolia block…I have one 4 marla commercial there…..thx in advance
Almost 50% land in Magnolia block has been acquired. Since this block won’t be affected by Dhadocha dam, property value here will Insha Allah pick up as soon a DHA Valley moves closer to offering possession. Fingers crossed Shr.
Hard to Believe Samra!
DHA Vally peoples are not good and can not deliver…..
Slam,

Commercial plot detail as follows Plot # 65 sector daffodils, type boulevard, street estren avenue, block B.

second what is the future of daffodils block is there any development there.
thanks
M.Haider
Dear Haider,
I know its frustrating to go through such situations. You must discuss the situation with agents working in DHA Valley as they can give you the latest updates:
Brig (R) Waqar Raja 0320-5010777.
Regards
I read comments about DHA Valley after like 1 year, Multiple times, I have thought to sell my 2 plots (hard earned savings from my job). Because even the lowest profile society in LHR, KHI and probably anywhere in the country gets boost up in 5 years to certain degree, but my problem is my faith in DHA, since I am resident of DHA 2 for 6 years, and my father had plot in it since 1994 …
I still have hopes on this project, which at times seem to myself that I am folling around with my own very self …
After reading your comments, there are 2 things which come to my mind,
1 DHA would never play with its investors / words / equity and you are coming back with your opinion based on insight (with DHA Management)
2 OR you (with all regards) are trying to portray positive image of DHA …
Moving Forward: I would request you to mobilize your relevant network or forum to communicate to Top Management of DHA to stop all upcoming projects after DHA 2 (up to Block P or whatever opposite Gate 7)
First lets focus and execute Valley
Roll out next blocks of Askari in DHA valley (Askari 15 would be in DHA 2) so 16 shall be in DHA Valley
Lastly, if possible, DHA shall hold all further developments of DHA Multan, Gujranwala, when they don’t have capability to come back with execution of 1 of the largest projects in ISD, which is still not settled.
Also, MGT shall Incentivize existing construction partners to finish it (Valley) off at earliest with special pay-off’s…
However, having said all this, I go back to your words and keep my faith in Allah Paak followed by your expert opinion, that it shall bounce back and to the level that one shall feel, he invested in DHA, not some local society.
In short, you suggest to continue holding till as long as say 2020 …. (Rest, Allah Paak bless)
This is a lot more complicated than many of us think. Since DHA has its name in the project, DHA gets all the blame. DHA Valley is actually a joint venture between DHA, Bahria and Habib Rafique. In DHA Valley, land acquisition and allotment was DHA’s job while development work was to be done by Bahria and Habib Rafique. I don’t know what Habib Rafique is busy with but Bahria surely has a priority list where DHA Valley isn’t among the top ones and that’s perhaps because the general public isn’t much aware of the fact that the delay in DHA Valley project is because of Bahria’s engagement in other projects and not because of DHA’s lack of interest. When i defend DHA, it is based on their past performance and on time deliverance and luckily also because i know the delay in the project isn’t because of DHA.
You must keep following progress in DHA Valley and meanwhile i will continue giving you updates on it.
hi miss Samra,
What is the land acquisition state of SUNFLOWER block…?
What is the percentage of development in Sunflower block…?
What is your views & comments about the future of this project with in next 1-2 years ..??
YOUR REPLY IN THIS REGARD WILL BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED.
Hi Ali,
The land acquisition and development status won’t matter for as long as the development status of DHA Valley isn’t ready to facilitate property possession.
I hope to see DHA Valley property become more valuable in coming 2 years.
Have a good day Ali.
thanks Miss Samra,
please update me development in sunflower block and what is current market value of 8 marla plot in same block,
and what is expected date of possession
i called DHA VALLEY office they told me that 2015 we are going to give possession in sunflower and magnolia blocks , it is true as per your information ??
waiting for your reply
thanks ®ards
At the moment, the average value of 8-marla residential plot in sunflower block is Rs 1,300,000. This block may be affected by the Dhadocha Dam since it lies closer to the dam’s site.
According to my sources, the possession of some blocks, most probably those around the DHA Expressway, will be offered by 2016.
I will keep you posted on any update regarding the possession etc.
Hi Samra,
Your article is a ray of hope for everyone who got a plot in DHA valley? Can you please confirm the status of land acquisition in Daisy Block?
Further, what is the average price of 8 marla plot in Diasy block? Thanks.
Land for Daisy Block hasn’t been fully acquired so far, which is why rates there are lower than plots in other blocks. Per Zameen.com’s stats, the average rate of 8-marla plots in Daisy Block is Rs 1,100,000.
Can you pls update regarding progress of iris block in dha valley?
DHA has acquired about 20% land in Iris block and the average value of 8-marla plot there is Rs 850,000.
whats the status of the blue bell and rose block?
u r doing a great job for keeping us updated …. thanx alot
Blue Bell is the most developed block in DHA Valley and 100% land there has been acquired. For rose block, the news isn’t that good since this block is near the Dhadocha Dam site and it might get swallowed by it. I believe that the authority will compensate the owners of property in blocks that will get affected by the dam.
The average value of 8-marla plot in Bluebell block is Rs 1,300,000. In Rose Block, it is Rs 1,200,000.
thanks ms samara zulfiqar u give me a information about bluebell im deeply concerned about this u give us a good hope
Hi Samra ,
Can you please update status of Daisy and Iris Blocks , Is there any change in prices upto Oct/Nov 2015.
Land for Daisy Block hasn’t been fully acquired so far, which is why rates there are lower than plots in other blocks. Per Zameen.com’s stats, the average rate of 8-marla plots in Daisy Block is Rs 1,100,000.
In Iris Block, DHA has acquired about 20% land and the average value of 8-marla plot there is Rs 850,000
thanks Miss Samra,

Dear Samra Zulfiqar; u r doing a great job…………. i have a plot in Lavender Block………….. please discuss about the internal issues of DHA with Bahria and Habib Rafique group
I am afraid that i don’t have details why Habib Rafique and Bahria don’t want to lay enough focus on DHA Valley. The agent’s aren’t either aware of the reasons of their lack of interest in the project.
For Lavender Block, DHA has acquired almost 100% land. The average rate of 8-marla plots here is Rs 1,300,000.
Thanks a lot samra.. I was very worried about the plot status in Lavender. But very happy to hear that land has been acquired for Lavender.. Also tell me that the possession of Lavender is expected in 2016 or not ye……. regards.rizwan
My brother did investment of 1 Million Pak Rs in stock market in 2008 and he made another 29 Millions with his investment.
On the other side I decided to make investment in property choosing DHA Valley and after passing 7 years I am in total loss.
Why there is not a single letter from DHA to the investors (telling this situation)
I am sorry Ali.
Hi Samra
Since you are doing good job can U please update on Eglantine block development. Secondary do you not feel that DHA valley is serious question mark on the credibility of DHA.
Land for Eglantine has been fully acquired, the average rate of 8-marla there is Rs 1,000,000.
I expect that its possession will be offered by 2016.
And i also agree on DHA Valley affecting the credibility of DHA and anticipate DHA to do something about it and soon.
Hi Samra
Nice info. keep up the good work!
please tell me how can i get the surcharge removed against my plot in DHA valley. i have paid 11 installments one is pending along with surcharge.
Thanks
Mohsin
You have to pay the surcharge, there is no way you can avoid paying it. I recommend you to pay the surcharge as well as the remaining installment.
Hi Samra…plz tell me the status of jasmine block, land acquired or not.. I have 02 x 5 marlas there… stay blessed. Regards . Capt faraz
DHA hasn’t fully acquired land in Jasmine block. The average rate of 5-marla plot here is Rs 700,000.
You are welcome Capt Faraz.
Hi Samra,
You are doing a great job, Thank you for a hard work. I’m sure it was worth it all.
I request if you can tell the status of Gloxinia 8 Marla plots.
Regards
Faheem
I recommend you to discuss the status of your DHA Valley Gloxinia plot with Mr Saqib Abrar by giving him a call at 0302-5559499.
Dear Samra, I have two plots in the Valley; one 8M residential on St.1, Bluebell, and the other is 8M comm (corner) on Main Blvd in Oleander from the original allotment. Both are fully paid. Can you please advise on the current status of these two sectors (i.e. land acquisition, development and likely possession date) etc.? When is the Express Way access reaching up to these sectors and its present status? Present cost of these plots and future prospects. How long more should I hold them. Thanks.
The bridge at DHA Expressway is the reason behind why construction work on this road is facing delays. Your plots in in Bluebell and Oleander are some of the best investment options one could consider in DHA Valley. The land for Oleander and Bluebell has been fully acquired and these blocks are some of the most developed one in this society.
The value of Bluebell residential plot is Rs 1,250,000 and that of 8-marla commercial in Oleander is Rs 6,500,000.
About possession, there is no confirmed date announced yet but experts anticipate it by sometime in 2016 and the blocks for which the possession is more likely do include Bluebell and Oleander.
Keeping these plots is, no matter in which block it is, is better than selling before the possession is announced. These plots can gain value by a big margin if things get on the right and fast track in DHA Valley. A lot currently said about DHA Valley is based on assumption and market feel, so nothing really is certain. Let’s hope for the best Mr Khalid and pray that DHA Valley delivers what it promised.
Hi Samra,
Any update on Blue Bell development work? Also any new images of development and when will DHA complete unlinked Expressway?
Regards
The work at the site of bridge is stopped because of reasons that i don’t know. As and when there is any news in this regard, i will share it with you. Development work in Bluebell is almost complete. I will try and get the latest images for it.
If the rose block is swallowed how will the dha compensate? In money or in plot some where else? and when are the prices expected to go up? thanx
I have a plot in Rose block, what should i do now? get rid of the plot or what? if you could get me some more detail in this regard, will be very grateful…. i m very worried about my investment? Thanx
Please give Mr Saqib Abrar a call on 0302-5559499 and discuss the situation with him.
Dear Samra,
Kindly share some updates for Defodils block.
Also price range of 5-M & 8-M in defodils.
For prices, please visit this page.
As of the last time i checked, which was about 6 months ago, no land was acquired for Daffodil Block.
Thanks a lot samra.. I was very worried about the plot status in Lavender. But very happy to hear that land has been acquired for Lavender.. Also tell me that the possession of Lavender is expected in 2016 or not ye……. regards.rizwan
Cant say if possession of plots in Lavender block would be available in 2016. I am planning on doing an update on it and will inquire in to the possession matter deeply. You have to wait please.
Dear Ms Samra, Thank you for updates.
Can you please let me know about the status of Jasmine….. is the land acquired? and market value of 8 marla.
Hi Mr Javed
DHA has been unable to acquire any land in Jasmine Block, which means that the value of 8-marla file stands on the same level on which you bought it. It is about PKR 900,000.
Don’t get sad unless you really have to as the matter on DHA Valley isn’t clear yet. Before we get an official statement on how DHA plans to move forward with this, let’s JUST NOT WORRY.
Hello Samra,
Please advise if any develpment is carry out in Marigold block. I have one plot (8 Marla) in Marigold. Please advise further the status of DHA Homes and when possibly they are offering the possession on Homes.
Regards
Dear Mr Shuja
About 50% land for Marigold Block has been acquired. You plots is worth more or less PKR 1,150,000.
The possession of DHA Homes and some blocks falling near the DHA Expressway is expected by 2016.
Hello Samra,
I am a Government servant. I have some saving. I want to buy DHA 5 Marla home. Please advise me if it is feasible in current situation. Do you think, whether it will be a live able place in 4 to 5 year. And will it get access through DHA express way
Regards
Dear Mr Ismail,
You have some saving, not a surplus capital, so invest it carefully. While i tell many people to hold their investments in DHA Valley, i won’t recommend the general buyers to invest there. Investors can put the extra 1 or two millions in long term investors, people with life of saving should play very safe.
Give Mr Brig (R) Waqar Raja a call on 0320-5010777 and ask him if an honest government servant with hard earned very precious money should buy DHA Valley Homes.
Hi Samra
I have a 5 Marla plot in BlueBell. Please let me know the current market price/worth of my plot. I have paid all the 12 installments. Also any idea about the possession of plots in BlueBell.
Thanks.
Dear Mohsin,
The average market rate of 5-marla plots in Bluebell is about PKR 900,000. The authority hasn’t announced any date for the possession, however, it is believed that these possession of plots in developed blocks, including Bluebell, might be give in 2016.
Dear Samra,
Is there a direct contact in the Defence Housing agency who is managing communications with investors?
In other words, is there someone who I, and others, can communicate with to see what the state of play is?
Thanks.
Dear Mr. Ahmed,
we haven’t been able to talk to someone from the DHA. There are helplines where they take calls and inquires, I thinks it is DHA UAN helpline. You can call them for details and as when we get in touch with someone who is willing to give us the required information, you will see updates of DHA Valley on the blog.
Stay tuned for that and take care Ahmed.
Asa Dear Samra
I want to buy a 4 marla commercial plot in dha valley. Do you recommend it if yes which area in dha valley.
Thanks ALLAH HAFIZ N JAZAKALLAH
Hi Ali,
For 4-marla commercial, i would recommend you to choose between Lily and Oleander blocks since their possession is expected sooner than the other blocks.
You might consider Bluebell as well but, since property rates there are a bit high, the expected profit margins for those plots may sound less impressive to you.
There are many concerns among investors about slow development of the project and its delayed possession, I agree, but you cannot find any other project in Islamabad this cheap. Please consult a few agents before finalizing your decision. Call Mr Brig (R) Waqar Raja at 0320-501077.
Dear Samra could you apprise me about the status of Lily & Iris Blocks.I have one plot in each of these two blocks & more worried because of my retirement next year. Regards

Thanks in Advance.
Shahid Imran ( UN World Food Programme)
Dear Mr Shahid,
We don’t have any property listings of Tulip Block so i cannot do its price comparison with other blocks. This information can be seek from Saqib Abrar, so call him: 0302-5559499
What is status of Lotus block
Last time i checked, DHA had not acquired any land in Lotus Block. You can discuss it further with Brig (R) Waqar Raja by giving him a call at 0320-5010777.
I don’t know any thing about property market but I would have to say; its been one of the most comprehensive question answer session related to any project online; so keep doing good stuff.
My Question is that which block you would pick to invest if you would have 12 Lac in your purse to spare for next 5 years?
Dear Iftikhar Qamar,
I would recommend Bluebell, Lilly and Oleander. You should call Mr Saqib Abrar if you make up your mind about investing in DHA Valley: 0302-5559499
samra pls update me about bluebell block, it was heard that dha is going to give posession of this block in last 2016 or start 2017. is this true or it is a rumer,
Possession news circulate kr rahi hain market main but DHA hasn’t made an announcement yet. Last time i talked to DHA Valley rep, he said 2 to 3 year. So nothing is certain about the possession.
Bluebell block however is the most developed and expensive block of the Valley.
Dear Samra,
Please can you update me about development status in sunflower block? i heard for DHA Vallley representative during my telephonic conversation with him last week that Sunflower block is most developed block in dha valley and will be the first block which will be offered possession by end of this year. Please give me your opinion about sunflower block . is it true what he told me or just fairy tails
thanks & waiting for your comments

Dear Samra,
Very valuable article even after couple of months. As you can see from the replies, this project is critical as thousands of genuine people have invested their hard money. I was just wondering it has been 6 months since you wrote this article. Any update would be appreciated by talking to DHA management this time and get the insights.
Thank you for you efforts and good work.
Asad
Yes Asad, i am also getting restless to do an update on it. You will Insha Allah soon get it on the blog.

Hi Samra,
A very good efforts done bu you to keep us update on DHA valley. Can you please tell me whats the current market price for 8 Marla General Marigold plot with 11 Installment paid (File is open)?
thanks
waiting for reply.
Hi Samra
Is it a safe bet to invest in commercial plot in Rose Block. The rumors are still on or DHA has managed to resolve the DAM issue.
Thanks
Before DHA makes an official announcement about DHA Valley, i don’t recommend buying land there. Rumors about possession being offered by the end of this year are also flying about in the market. If you wish to discuss it further, please get in touch with Mr Saqib Abrar at 0302-5559499.
Salam , as I have come to know that land haven’t acquired in jasmine block. I have two five marla files in jasmine block. Plz give ur opinion that is it right to sale those file now or wait…if wait how much.. regards. Captain faraz
Selling these files is not advisable since it would be a total loss. If you can wait till the end of 2015, please do so. For further guidance please talk to Mr Saqib Abrar at 0302-5559499.
Dear Arif Kamran,
Let me know the price you want for 8 Marla plot.
Thanks
Please contact me for more information 03009144551

Dear forum fellows,
Could you please point out if there are any cases or charges registered against DHA valley isd management at any window ?
I would really appreciate if someone could just mention about it.
Jeeti raho miss Samra that your forum here to share the latest on dhavalley.
Hay jurm e zaeefi ki saza marg e mufajat
LEt’s hope they DO deliver in the next year or two. It is such a shame… people have put their lifelong savings trusting ‘DHA’ to deliver and the crooks at the time have messed things up and now no one knows where it will end.
I would also like to point out the false advertisement that was done at the time to lure investors. DHA Commercial Avenue was supposed to be a central commercial area along the expressway or atleast that is how it was made to look at the time… years later… they have just allotted people commercial plots on main roads in different blocks… no such thing as a central commercial area servicing the whole of DHA valley and the promised location of ‘along the expressway’. Its a shame no one challenged this in court… what good are our courts anyway.
Usman
In his interview, Mr Malik Riaz said that the Bahria Town was in talks with the government to build Daducha dam, which was one of the reasons causing delays in the project. He also said people will start getting their plots in DHA Valley by the end of this year.
Regards,
zain Nadeem
Dear Mr.Zain Nadeem
I appreciate your mentioning of interviiew statement given by Malik Riaz but the silence of DHA valley management is beyond any logic. We don’t want to curse DHA valley management but their zero presence from the matter is causing panic among public at large.
They should at least say something to give an indication of their plans or whats going on with the amount of investors !
hi. Is there any expectation on the delivery of project, i went to DHA OFF and they were of belief that the project will be delivered in next 3 yars owing to reasons:
. over 1000 Martyrs have been alloted plots there
. Army is now involved and had a very conclusive meeting or direction to get it done
Samrah: since you guys are into it, do you really believe the project is on right direction to get delivered
Dear
Please guide for oleander block development I have paid 6 instalment ,please advise i should pay balance or not.
AOA All
Please throw some light on prospects of 5 marla dha homes. Possession timelines and their likely value once possession is announced . Will the value of homes increase substantial or just a little after possession is given. Plus there are much more allottes than homes build (around 2-3 thousand allottes and 600-1000 homes), so what will be fate of those allottes who will be unsuccessful in balloting. Will their home value increase or decrease or will stay where it is once possession and balloting is done.
Also please let me know how much sale / purchase is there in market regarding 5 marla dha homes.
Best Regards

Thank You very much for such a great insight. Can you please give us an updated and actual position as of now specially because last night there was a program on DAWN TV which was heart breaking because after waiting for so many years it seems the investment is sunk

Grateful for any information on my queries. Thanks
So you haven’t been following it on the blog already… check out the latest two articles on it:

http://www.zameen.com/blog/our-take-on-dha-valley-islamabad.html
Dear Respected Samra Zulfiqar,
Hope, you have a good day. Your readers really love your answers and do believe/honour your words. Your efforts are heartedly appreciated. Can you please enlighten the announcement by DHA offering transfer of DHA Valley (and DHA Valley Overseas Block) plots to BAHRIA Phase 8 or BAHRIA Karachi.
There is a lot of difference between face value of plots situated in these schemes. I think after balloting they will ask the succesful applicants to pay more money. Applicants will be bound to pay, and leave the ownership of there existing plots. DHA then will resale the Valley and Overseas Block. Is it so
Apparently, Bahria Town was suppose to carry out this coordination and it did so through local press. You check details here: http://www.zameen.com/blog/dha-valley-islamabad-affectees-offered-alternate-plots.html
It is likely that applicants would be required to pay an extra sum for the alternate plots. I am unaware of what are the authorities concerned in DHA thinking at the moment. But i know for sure that the blocks affected by the dam will be relocated and everyone will be compensated.
Dear Respected Samra Zulfiqar,
There are so many contraversal news about corruption in “Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission Employees Housing Society CHATTAR” affairs. Can you please enlighten current situation of this society. I shall be very thankful to you for this kind of act.
Best Regards. Mohammad Zafar

If i commit something with you and forget, please pardon me and send me a reminder at samra at zameen dot com.
Please comment on news item published in today’s dawn(11-01-16),According to news COAS has green-lighted to conduct inquiry into DHA -Valley Scam.Brother of ex-COAS and Malik Riaz are said to be main accused.
He has only allowed to inquire about it, I will comment when the accused will be openly trialed and duly sentenced by the court.
Thanks for prompt reply which is very well justified as only court can do justice when all facts are brought before it. But my concern is only about the aggrieved persons of the scheme which belong to middle class like me. Will they get justice in near future.
Hi Samra,
I am wondering if you can provide any update on DHA Valley plots. there had been some discussion on this forum about that. Is there real progress or any hope getting possession?
thanks
Amir
Dear All

DHA name is used for this huge fraud. 2011 was the year for possession and now we are in middle of 2016. O People! fear Allah, what more one should say…
Shahid from KSA

Total fraud with the poor people. i agree
I want to know the latest progress on DHA VALLEY. Now it is feb 2017 and still we hear nothing. who will look after this matter.
