Property in Pakistan: prices, fees and how to buy

Updated 4 November 2026

Property in Pakistan ranges from about Rs 23,000 per square foot for a Grade B flat to Rs 223,500,000 for a house in DHA Karachi. The quickest way to see current prices for your city and property type is a free request on BlaBlaPrice: the AI looks through sellers' websites and listings in Pakistan and shows the prices and businesses it finds.

Fees and costs on top of the price

Buying property in Pakistan costs more than the asking price. A filer buyer typically pays around 4.5% to 7% of the assessed value across stamp duty, registration and other charges. Under the Registration Act, 1908, a 1% registration fee is levied as a service charge for recording the transaction. In Punjab the town fee is 1%, the CVT is 2% and stamp duty is 3% of the property value, plus a fixed Rs 1,000. Legal fees and an agent's commission are common extra costs, so ask for the full figure in writing.

Licences for property dealers

Anyone who deals in property as a business needs a licence under provincial law. The licence comes with a registration certificate, renewal requirements and tax obligations, so check the seller's certificate before you pay any deposit.

Season and climate

Summers from May to September are very hot, so viewings are most comfortable from November to March, when winters are mild in this desert climate. Whatever the season, ask for daytime photos or a video of the property so you can see it in full light.

How property is quoted

Flats are quoted per square foot, while houses are described by marla, the local plot unit, and by price in crore and lacs. One crore is Rs 10,000,000 and one lac is Rs 100,000, so compare listings in the same unit before you decide. Ask whether the price includes registration and transfer costs.

What to put in your request

Name the city and area, whether you want to buy or rent, the size in square feet or marla, the number of bedrooms and your budget in Rs. Say whether you need a ready property or one under construction, and whether you are looking for a flat, a house or a plot.

On BlaBlaPrice you describe the property in your own words in a chat, and a photo can be added. Registered sellers receive the request and reply in the chat with their own offer, while your contacts stay hidden until you decide to share them. You can also browse apartments and houses to see which subcategory fits your request.
