Real estate investment involves significant capital, which unfortunately makes it a target for fraudsters and fraudulent dealers. Protecting your hard-earned savings requires constant vigilance and awareness of common market scams in Pakistan.
1. Fake and Double-Allocated Files
One of the most common scams involves selling the same plot file to multiple buyers or trading in non-existent/unapproved society files. Always verify file numbers directly from the official management office of the housing authority.
2. Unapproved Housing Schemes
Before investing in newly announced or upcoming projects, always check whether the society holds a valid and approved NOC (No Objection Certificate) from the relevant development authority (like LDA or RDA).
3. Dealing with Unverified Agents
Always work with registered, reputable, and established real estate experts who have a physical office address and a proven track record, rather than dealing with unverified individual brokers.
