Property verification in Lahore for overseas Pakistanis

Most property problems start with a deal that was never checked on paper and on site. This checklist covers the basics before any money moves.

Paper checks

• Seller's CNIC matches the name on the title documents (fard, registry, or society allotment/transfer letter).
• Confirm the record with the society or the relevant land record office, not only from photocopies.
• Check for pending dues, mortgage or disputes, and that the plot is not in an unapproved area.

Site checks

• Plot number, size and boundaries on the ground match the documents and the society map.
• Recent dated photos and video of the plot or house, including the street and neighbours.

Payment safety

• Pay through banking channels to the title holder, never in cash to middlemen.
• Keep written receipts and an agreement signed by both sides.
• For legal opinions, consult a qualified professional of your choice.
