If you're buying an apartment in Bahria Town purely as an investment, rental yield is the metric that will determine whether you're satisfied in three years.
The numbers
- Studio apartments: 6.5–8% gross yield
- 1-bed apartments: 5.5–7%
- 2-bed apartments: 4.5–6%
Factors that move yield
1. Distance from the commercial spine — walkability to shops and restaurants commands a premium. 2. Furnishing level — semi-furnished units rent faster and at higher rates. 3. Building management — a well-managed building keeps its tenant pipeline full year-round. 4. Floor selection — 2nd–4th floor apartments outperform top-floor and ground-floor.
Capital appreciation vs. yield
You rarely get both. A high-yield apartment in a mature block tends to appreciate slowly. A pre-launch apartment in an emerging block has low yield but high appreciation upside. Pick the strategy that matches your time horizon.
