Commercial property: say what exactly you’re looking for

Commercial property in Pakistan: prices, papers and how to get offers

Updated 4 November 2026

Commercial property in Pakistan costs from about Rs 26,500,000 for a listed plot, and up to about Rs 480,000,000 for larger buildings for sale. Commercial space for rent runs from Rs 50,000 to Rs 150,000 a month. For a price for your exact space, send a request on BlaBlaPrice: it looks through sellers' websites and price lists in Pakistan and shows what it finds.

Licences and papers to check

Almost every type of business needs a trade licence. The licensing office asks for proof of ownership or tenancy, which means a registered rent agreement if the space is rented, and the business must be in an area zoned for it. Licence fees depend on the business type and the location. Pakistan has no single nationwide property dealer licence, and real estate agents must follow the tax authority's requirements for non-financial businesses, so ask an agent for their registration.

A sale or lease is registered with proof that you own the property, plus the contract or deed. Taxes and registration costs depend on the type of title, the location and the instrument. Rates vary by province and change with each finance act, so ask the seller for the current figures.

Season and when to visit

Pakistan has a desert climate, with very hot summers from May to September and mild winters from November to March. November is the start of the comfortable months, the easiest time to walk through a plot, a warehouse or a shop. From May to September, afternoon viewings are hard work, so plan visits for the morning.

How space is priced and measured

Plots are listed in marla and buildings in square feet. Some listings also give square metres, for example 5,200 to 5,521 sq ft is shown as 483.10 to 512.92 sq m. Sale prices are quoted in crore, where one crore is Rs 10,000,000, and rents are quoted per month. Ask whether the price includes taxes and fees, since these are separate. Industrial plots are also listed in Rawalpindi, for example a 6,750 sq ft plot in an industrial estate.

What to put in your request

Say whether you want to buy or rent, and in which city and area: Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi or Faisalabad. Give the size in square feet or marla, the use (shop, office, warehouse, or a hall you can hire by the hour), and your budget as a total price or a monthly rent. If you rent, say so early, because the licensing office asks for a registered rent agreement.
