First-Time Buyer's Complete Guide to DHA Phase 5 & 6

First-Time Buyer's Guide to DHA Phase 5 and 6

Buying your first property is one of the biggest decisions of your life. If you're eyeing DHA Phase 5 or 6, here's everything you need to know.

These are arguably the most livable areas in all of Karachi. Here's why:

Central Location: Easy access to Clifton, Tariq Road, and the airport.

Community Feel: Wide roads, parks, and a strong neighbourhood culture.

Schools: Some of Karachi's best schools are in or near these phases.

Resale Value: Historically strong appreciation.

Beyond the property price, first-time buyers should budget for:

1. **Agent Commission**: Typically 1% from each party.

2. **Transfer Fee**: DHA charges a transfer fee based on plot size.

3. **Stamp Duty**: Government stamp duty (varies by property value).

4. **Legal Fees**: Lawyer fees for documentation review.

5. **Renovation**: If buying an older property.

• Original CNIC

• Proof of income / source of funds

• Bank statements (last 6 months)

• Passport (for overseas Pakistanis)

1. **Not verifying the plot/property** — Always check DHA records.

2. **Skipping the lawyer** — Never sign without legal review.

3. **Rushing the decision** — Take your time, visit multiple properties.

4. **Ignoring the neighbourhood** — Visit at different times of day.
