🌍 Why Overseas Pakistanis Are Investing Back Home

From the UK to UAE, thousands of overseas Pakistanis are now channeling their savings into Lahore’s booming property market.

  • βœ… High ROI compared to foreign markets
  • βœ… Favorable exchange rates
  • βœ… Emotional and long-term connection with Pakistan
  • βœ… Tax incentives and the Roshan Digital Account (RDA) system

Lahore, in particular, has become the go-to city for investors seeking both rental yield and capital appreciation β€” especially in societies like Lake City, Bahria Town, and Pine Avenue.


πŸ™οΈ Step 1: Choose a Reliable & Approved Society

Start by targeting LDA-approved and well-developed projects. These guarantee secure ownership and steady resale value.

πŸ“„ Step 2: Verify Legal Documents

Before any payment, ensure all documents are authentic:

  • Title Deed (Registry/Intiqal) – proof of ownership
  • Allotment Letter or Transfer Letter – from the society
  • NOC from LDA or relevant authority
  • Payment Receipts – verified by the developer

βœ… Always verify through the LDA official website or a trusted real estate consultant like Royal Properties Lahore.


πŸ’³ Step 3: Use Secure Banking Channels

Avoid sending funds directly to agents. Instead, use:

  • Roshan Digital Account (RDA) – for safe remittances from the UK or UAE
  • Official Developer Accounts – never personal accounts
  • Escrow or verified transfer channels

Keep SWIFT copies and receipts for every transaction.


🏒 Step 4: Work with a Licensed Real Estate Agency

Choose an agency that is:

  • βœ… Registered with LDA, DHA, or Bahria
  • βœ… Experienced in overseas transactions
  • βœ… Offering virtual tours and transparent commissions

πŸ“ Step 5: Appoint a Power of Attorney (POA)

If you’re not visiting Pakistan:

  1. Visit your nearest Pakistani embassy (UK or UAE).
  2. Draft and attest a Power of Attorney.
  3. Send it to Pakistan for NADRA and local registration.
  4. Authorize only a trusted family member or verified agent.

πŸ›‘ Be cautious β€” POA misuse can lead to property fraud if given to unreliable individuals.


πŸ’» Step 6: Monitor Your Investment Online

  • WhatsApp or Zoom property tours
  • Drone footage and progress updates
  • Online file tracking through LDA or developer portals

πŸŒ† Step 7: Understand Taxes & Transfer Costs

  • Stamp Duty & CVT – approx. 4–6%
  • Capital Gains Tax – on sale profit (varies by holding period)
  • Agent Commission – usually 1–2%

RDA-linked transactions simplify tax documentation for overseas investors.


🏑 Step 8: Focus on Future Appreciation

The best-performing areas for 2025–2028 are:

  • Pine Avenue – high-growth zone with new commercial hubs
  • Lake City – strong rental demand and resale value
  • Etihad Town & DHA Phase 9 Prism – rapid infrastructure development

πŸ’¬ Final Thoughts: Invest Smart, Invest Secure

Buying property in Lahore from the UK or UAE is now easier than ever β€” as long as you follow a verified, digital-first approach.

With the right partner like Royal Properties Lahore, overseas investors can safely own prime plots, villas, or commercial spaces β€” all managed transparently from abroad.
