Buying Property in Islamabad from Abroad: A Guide for Overseas Pakistanis

By the Land14 advisory team · Updated

In short

Overseas Pakistanis can buy property in DHA Islamabad and Bahria Town without flying home for every step. The safe way is to view by live video, have the property verified with the authority, pay only through traceable banking channels, and complete the transfer in person on a visit or through an authorised representative.

How it works, step by step

  • Share your brief: budget, area, size, and whether you want to live in, rent out or hold
  • Shortlist and view by live video call, not just photos
  • Have the property verified with the authority before any payment
  • Agree terms in writing and pay through traceable bank transfers only
  • Complete the transfer on a visit, or appoint a trusted representative through a properly attested power of attorney (see the DHA transfer process)

Protect yourself

  • Never send money in cash or to personal accounts you can't trace
  • Choose your representative carefully and limit the power of attorney to this transaction
  • Keep copies of every document and payment receipt
  • Work with an advisor who will verify before asking for any token

How Land14 helps overseas buyers

We arrange live video tours, verify every property before it reaches you, keep you updated on WhatsApp in your time zone, and walk you or your representative through the transfer. See our overseas buyer service for details.
