Location

Location is one of the most important factors to consider when purchasing a property. Some locations offer greater perks and benefits than others and are hence pricier. Choose a location that offers the features and amenities you need. For instance, if you are interested in a residential project, you should look for shopping centers, public transport, parks, schools and other essentials in the vicinity.

Price

It is also important to determine the price of the property you're considering. Set a specific budget for the purchase and look for options within the budget. Make sure that you take all expenses, such as stamp duty, dues and transfer charges into account when determining the price of property. The stated price of property may lack these hidden expenses that must be borne at the time of transfer.

Property as an Investment Asset

It is common for many investors to buy property from the investment standpoint. The real estate sector of Pakistan offers lucrative returns, so it makes sense to invest your savings in reasonable property deal. However, the process is easier said than done. If you're not careful about this, you may get your funds stuck in a dead product. Thorough market research must be performed to find a property worthy of investment.

Local Newspapers

Local newspapers, such as Jang have classifieds section where sellers offer properties for sale. While it helps to consult the classifieds section as often as you can, make it a point never to miss the Sunday edition that typically includes higher volume of ads offering properties for sale.

Online Real Estate Forums and Sites

Many real estate websites in Pakistan allow users to place ads for sale and purchase of property. You can normally place an ad for free or a small price. If you are looking to buy property, you can advertise the details of the property you're looking for, such as location, size of property, purpose of purchase, budget and your contact details. Potential sellers will start contacting you with their offerings. Compare the properties and determine the option that delivers best value for the price.
