An Expats Guide to Invest in Pakistan Property

Expats are one of the primary sources of foreign investment in our country. These overseas Pakistanis have sent around 12 Billion USD as an investment in the first seven months of 2018. This huge investment is made in different sectors, but the major portion of it is used in property investment in Pakistan.

Expats’ investment in Pakistan is not only beneficial for them, but it also assists people living here from different aspects. But unluckily, our country does not have proper plans and higher-level policies to the guild and provide the best, safe and secure real estate investment to these expats.

The good news is that this issue is already raised and considered in the Public sector and that is why we can see numbers of investment opportunities offered to expats so that they can easily invest in residential and commercial projects as well as in agriculture land.

 Another downfall is that the government hasn’t regulated the public real estate sector so far. Therefore many real estate projects fail every year, and a lot of fake dealings occur to cheat people.

If you are an expat and looking to make property investment in Pakistan but do not know a lot about the local real estate developments, then feel lucky as this guide is completely for you. Here in this blog, we will provide you with a useful guideline and best options to make secure and profitable real estate investments in Pakistan.

Make Investment in Top Societies

If you’re a foreign Pakistani and looking to make investments in the real estate sector, then be careful and, do not get trapped by attractive slogans and marketing campaigns of all the societies. The very first rule is to keep you protected from the fraudulent deals, particularly in smaller societies.

These small societies will attract you with different deals and will assure you that you will get handsome returns on investment. If you are an expat investor, then it is really hard for you to track the updates and activities of new or smaller societies. So there is no need to make new experiments. 

It is always recommended to invest in tested projects such as DHA, Bahria Town & different well-known projects of Gwadar. No doubt, that the risk factor in these famous societies cannot be ruled out completely, but it is really easy to track the development and progress of these projects.

Register Yourself as a Tax Filer

As the first government of PTI is focusing on and tightening the taxations law, so it’s highly recommended to register you as a tax filer as soon as possible. Becoming a tax filer will not only be beneficial for you in different ways, but it will be a symbol of locality with your country.
