Commercial property for rent in Pakistan

Updated 4 November 2026

Commercial property for rent in Pakistan varies widely by city and size. A shop of about 20 m² in Islamabad was listed at Rs 90,000 a month, approximately, according to sellers' listings, November 2026. To see current prices for your district and floor area, describe the premises in a BlaBlaPrice request.

Some listings quote a one-time figure instead of a monthly rent, so check the basis before you compare. The rent depends mainly on these factors:

• the city and district, which change the rent a lot
• the floor area in square metres, the floor and the street access
• the business type, because a showroom, an office or a workshop needs different space and power
• the electrical capacity the business needs
• the lease term and the security deposit

Tax and legal checks before you sign

Ask the landlord to confirm that the building is zoned for commercial use, and ask to see the NOC, the building approvals and proof of title. Rent is taxable: a 16% sales tax on commercial property rent is mentioned in current local tax updates, and rental income is subject to income tax, including advance tax. Ask whether the agreed figure includes tax before you sign.

If you plan to run a business from the premises, check the trade licence fee for your zone. A Sindh rate list sets yearly fees by zone, from Rs 1,000 to Rs 15,000 a year for the categories it names.

Season and viewing times

The climate is hot and dry. Summers are very hot from May to September, and winters are mild from November to March, which is the most comfortable time for viewings. In summer, book viewings for the cooler morning or evening hours, and check the electrical capacity in writing, because a business needs enough power for cooling and equipment.

How premises are rented here

Leases are agreed for a set term, and the agreement should state the permitted business use, the rent and any future increases, the security deposit and the maintenance charges. Get these in writing before you pay. Premises in the five cities are viewed in person, so plan visits for each city you are considering.

What to write in your request

Name the premises type, the district and city, the floor area in square metres, the monthly rent you can pay, the floor, the access you need, the electrical capacity, the business type, the lease term and the condition you accept.
