Pakistan's real estate market has its share of developers who under-deliver, delay, or disappear. Here's how to filter for the ones who don't.
1. Past delivery, not future promises
Ask for addresses of three previously delivered projects. Drive there. Walk the buildings. Talk to residents and tenants.
2. Time-on-record in the locality
A developer who has worked in Bahria Town for 10+ years has reputational stakes that a newcomer doesn't.
3. Construction crew continuity
Do they use the same contractors, engineers, and finishers across projects? Continuity is a quality signal.
4. Payment plan transparency
A real developer publishes clear payment plans. Vague terms ("flexible plans available") are a red flag.
5. Direct transfer at handover
If the developer can't transfer the title in your name directly at possession, you're buying a problem, not a property.
