DHA valley Islamabad is a residential project initiated on 18 august 2008. It is the joint venture of DHA Islamabad, Bahria Town Islamabad, and Habib Rafiq (Pvt) restricted. The general public has to work with individuals by giving loaded with extravagant living style including a protected gated local area with all essential necessities for example Power Supply, water, gas. Moreover, schools, medical clinics, and a terrific Jamie mosque society have become obtain more worth. Besides, the heap of lovely parks and greens are the fascination of society. It turns out to be simple for all home searchers from profoundly rich to less fortunate. GOOD NEWS FOR ALLOTTEES OF DHA VALLEY DHA Valley is very important for allotees at this time because the price is very high And this is not the first time in the history of DHA that the price has gone up, sometimes down, sometimes up, and sometimes down. But at the moment the price is at that level, it is very rare for the price to go to that level SHOULD WE BUY OR SELL DHA VALLEY FILES/PLOTS? Sell your files and make a profit as this is your second chance at history. For the first time, when the installments of Dha Valley were to be completed in 9, people thought that now we would get possession. So because of that, the prices would go up a lot. This was the first time that the perks would have doubled to triple. But people did not sell at that time because they hoped that we would get the plot. However, DHA failed to deliver the plot, after which the plots were reversed and reduced to minus. Repeatedly, the rate kept increasing and decreasing. Then, when Bahria started merging in DHA Valley, the rate was about Rs. 4 lakh profit. After that, the game of merging ended and the rate reversed again and came to minus. Now the rate has increased historically. I would advise people to sell their files and leave. REASON FOR SUCH RISE IN DHA VALLEY PRICES The main reason for this is that there is a Sur Charge Waive here. 2-3 files were open on a daily basis. Many files used to have Sur Charge charge. DHA charge was waived and the files were opened. For the last four months, DHA Valley Islamabad had stopped this Surcharge policy Now 2-3 files are available daily for opening, but when their charge is not waived, you should understand that it is on the table of General Sahib. Either DHA Islamabad would have flatly denied that the policy was over and the charge would not be waived. But DHA is receiving applications i.e people hope that if not today then tomorrow our charge will be waived. Now you understand that where there used to be 50 files per day, now there are 5 files per day. Now investors think that there is a shortage of files in the market, so they made cartons and collected the files. They had created the seen of balloting And the file rates have gone up a lot. Now they have achieved their goal. They bought the files at a negative rate and now they have brought them here and sold the files and left on their own. Will DHA VALLEY NOW WAIVE THE SURCHARGE? Now the DHA Union Raka is in talks with the Lahore management, thanks to which the charge has been waived since last Monday. WILL PRICES FALL AGAIN AFTER THE AMNESTY IS RESTORED? Yes! The prices will decrease day by day. There are thousands of files on the general sahib's table that are now available in the market on a daily basis due to which the prices will decrease “Today the rate is Rs 5-6 lakh in profit, so I will ask people to make a profit, If you want, you can buy files or plots again in the next few months when prices fall” DHA VALLEY VS BAHRIA TOWN The record-high prices in Lahore that have been recorded in months may be fading and soon they will be reduced. So the safest investment for investors is here to invest in Bahria Town. If one wants to build a house or take a plot with the intention of investing, then Bahria Town will be the best choice for him in both cases. WHEN WILL THE DAH VALLEY BALLOTING TAKE PLACE? Nothing can be said yet regarding DHA Valley Balloting. On the occasion of every special day like 14 august & 6 September, it is spread by the people that now there will be balloting in DHA Lahore. But All that news is fake.

Pakistan’s pace of development during the last three years has seen some unprecedented highs. This is primarily attributable to the China Pakistan Economic Corridor, which through its USD 65 billion investment is generating economic activity through all sectors of the economy. As economic activity increases, it translates into employment generation. When we talk of employment under CPEC, the first thing to consider is how it is being generated, and in which sectors. For this reason, in this blog we have adopted a sector-wise approach to understand patterns associated with employment generation under CPEC. EMPLOYMENT GENERATION UNDER CPEC: SECOND PHASE CPEC is fast reaching completion in Pakistan The first phase of CPEC was from 2015 to 2020, when infrastructural and energy projects were constructed. The start of year 2021 for CPEC has been highlighted as a milestone for ensuring people-to-people connectivity, which essentially means that a series of business investments are coming into different sectors of Pakistan’s economy. This will create opportunities for business-to-business collaboration; and allow Pakistani locals to expand their operations, while at the same time creating opportunities. The most prominent example of this is the establishment of Special Economic Zones (SEZs), which are dedicated areas for setting up of industries and manufacturing units. There are four main SEZs under which work has already begun, however, more are proposed to be constructed and operationalized soon. Rashakai SEZ in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Allama Iqbal Industrial Complex in Faisalabad Dhabeji SEZ in Thatta, Sindh Botsan in Pishin, Balochistan The main idea behind the SEZs is to set up industries specific to the area they are based in. This gives competitive advantage to the SEZs, and also ensures a steady supply of skilled laborers. In this way, the SEZs aim to harness the existing potential of the areas they are based in. Moreover, in order to facilitate businessmen, all enterprises under the SEZs have been exempted from taxes for 10 years. However, work on colonization of the SEZs is still underway, and much of the skilled labor is being utilized in various sectors as CPEC projects assume fast pace. HOW EMPLOYMENT IS BEING GENERATED UNDER CPEC Gwadar poised to become an economic hub Employment statistics have increased in CPEC areas where development projects are being pursued at a fast pace. Already, over 75,000 locals have been given jobs under various CPEC projects, while experts predict that by the year 2030, 2.3 million jobs for locals will be created. Chairman CPEC Authority, Lt Gen (retd.) Asim Saleem Bajwa has also highlighted that through CPEC, Pakistani has been able to boost production under the agricultural and industrial sectors, as well as create job opportunities in the energy sector. Let’s dig deeper into these statistics to understand which have been the most beneficial under CPEC. EMPLOYMENT GENERATION: SECTOR-WISE APPROACH The China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is being labelled as CPEC For All because of how it’s going to provide job opportunities for everyone; the skilled and unskilled labor. For this reason, we look at the various sectors where jobs are being created. INFRASTRUCTURE Infrastructure is rapidly being developed under CPEC A 2018 study, titled “Employment Generation and Labour Composition in CPEC and Related Road Infrastructure Projects,” by Dr. Shahid Rashid, Muhammad Muzammil Zia and Shujaa Waqar, notes the following statistics on CPEC’s infrastructural jobs. Under CPEC, infrastructure, being one of the two sectors where investment first came in, has developed rapidly. In the first phase, six early harvest projects were introduced. These are: KKH Phase II (Thakot-Havelian Section) Peshawar Karachi Motorway (Multan-Sukkur and Lahore-Multan Section) Upgradation of D.I Khan (yarik-Hakla) Phase I to V Faisalabad-Multan Motorway (M4) Package II and III E-35 Expressway As of 2018, for KKH, 7,800 jobs were created, with a 76% percent share of Pakistani professionals. In the Multan-Sukkur section of Peshawar-Karachi Motorway 15,174 people were employed. Meanwhile, in the Lahore-Multan section, 17,246 jobs were created. In the former project, Pakistani employees account for 91.5% of the total number while, in the latter project, more than 96% of the jobs belonged to Pakistanis. The upgradation of D.I Khan is divided into five phases, all of which employed a total number of 6,700 people, all Pakistanis. The Faisalabad-Multan Motorway comprises two packages, which employed 3,640 total laborers; only 97 of which were Chinese. During the construction and operationalization of E-35 Expressway, 1,020 people were employed with 98% participation from Pakistanis. Another key project in this regard is the Orange Line Metro, Pakistan’s first electric train system, which, as it operates, will continue to contribute towards the socio-economic well being of the area. ENERGY Significant progress has been made in the energy sector of Pakistan as a part of CPEC Under CPEC, 22 energy projects have been finalized. Of these 22, nine have been completed and are operational. The first project to be completed is the Sahiwal Coal Power Plant. Moreover, in 2021 it has been announced that Pakistan has attracted about 50% of total BRI’s renewable energy investments. For this reason, projects such as Karot Hydropower project and Jhimpir Wind Farm have been introduced in the country. Overall, Pakistan and China have 24 cooperation projects with a scale of 12,282 MW of energy. Overall, there are 10 prioritized (or early harvest) energy projects, while 4 have been newly added which are primarily renewable energy projects including Kohala Hydel Project, Cacho Wind Power Project, Western Energy Ltd Wind Power Project, and Azad Pattan Hydel Project. These are in line with PM Imran Khan’s vision of having a share of 60% of renewable energy by 2030. Overall, this mix of energy projects has ensured that there are plenty of job opportunities for locals. For the 16 ongoing energy projects more than 73,000 people have been employed so far. Of this number, the share for locals stands at 63%. These projects have added over 6GW of electricity to the national grid, making load shedding a relic of the past in Pakistan. Potential job opportunities, in terms of skilled labor, include openings for the following positions: Civil engineers Electrical engineers General managers Installation specialists Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) engineers Foreman AGRICULTURE Pakistan’s agriculture is boosting under CPEC There are talks of Pakistan-China cooperation in the agricultural sector as well, since this sector has been included in CPEC projects. As Chinese have expressed interest in Pakistan’s high-quality dairy and meat products, the proposed plans include developing cold storage and food processing facilities, which will enhance productivity in livestock and fisheries sectors as well. Moreover, the Deputy Consul General of Pakistan in Chengdu has also expressed Chinese interest in setting up slaughterhouses in Pakistan. These slaughterhouses will enable meat processing to be done in line with international standards. For crops, China has promised provision of high-quality machinery as well as seeds and herbicides to boost production of Pakistan’s major cash crops, such as wheat, rice etc. In addition to this, Chinese farming experts are also working to introduce maize-soybean intercropping techniques as soybean is a staple for most Chinese households. Similarly, sea rice along coastal regions, edible floral landscaping, and planting of fruits and vegetables will also take place. Already, Pakistani mangoes and cherries have made their way into China, and as tastes are acquired, there is a greater demand for even more locally-produced fruits and vegetables. Recently, a pilot project for chili farming was recently completed, and is based on 100 acres of land. According to CPEC Authority Chairman, Asim Saleem Bajwa said that during the next phase 3,000 acres of land will be cultivated with chillies. All of these initiatives are part of the China-Pakistan Agricultural Cooperation Pilot Zone which is to be up during five years. Under this program, a China-Pakistan food industrial park will also be established in 5 to 10 years, to promote the condiment industry of both countries. While farmers will benefit from these plans, it’s also going to open up opportunities for agricultural scientists, who play a vital role in increasing productivity and sustainability of crops and animals. INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY The incumbent government is working to introduce a number of IT initiatives in Pakistan. While many have been launched, various are underway such as the Smart Village Initiative. In addition to these, the Digital Silk Route (DSR) will soon transform how trade is done between Pakistan, China and the entire Europe. The DSR is aimed at facilitating telecommunications networks, artificial intelligence capabilities, cloud computing, e-commerce and mobile payment systems, surveillance technology, smart cities, and other high-tech areas, for all member countries. As Pakistan makes significant headway towards IT acquisition, it is with China’s cooperation that Pakistan’s IT landscape will significantly improve. Already during the coronavirus pandemic, e-commerce and e-banking has experienced a boom. With Chinese investment and unique skills, more job opportunities and investment avenues will open up. TOURISM In recent years, Pakistan’s tourism has expanded leaps and bounds. For this reason, the incumbent government is working toward upscaling its religious tourism which carries immense significance for Hindu communities, Sikhs, and Buddhists as a large number of historical religious sites are located here. To uncover religious synchronism with China, extensive plans are underway for reviving the ancient Gandhara Trail. This will be of paramount importance for not just the Chinese, but Buddhists located in any part of the world. This is a Buddhist monastery at Takht-i-Bhai Apart from religious tourism, there are numerous opportunities for expanding the tourism industry of Pakistani under the country’s collaborative efforts with China. This comes primarily from rebuilding and connectivity efforts in Pakistan’s remote areas, such as Balochistan. Already Gwadar is seeing an influx of tourists as development projects in Balochistan are underway. Rapid infrastructural development is paving the way for tourists to access Sindh and Balochistan’s pristine beaches. Of these, Gadani Beach remains one of the most popular spots. Already tourism in Pakistan employs a great number of people and with newer initiatives like these, this number is bound to grow.

Buying and selling a property can be frustrating at times, especially if you are doing it for the first time. There are many factors that affect the value of an asset. In one of our previous blogs, we shared some great tips for first-time real estate agents but in this section, we’ll discuss how you can best assemble your home to sell it. HOW TO MEASURE PRICE OF YOUR HOME TO SELL From job relocation to a noisy neighborhood to immigration- there are many reasons why people change their homes. Sometimes, changing homes may require you to sell your property and that process can be difficult. Please remember that there is no clear timeline for selling a house. It can take longer than expected because, at the end of the day, you want the best price for your property. While there are a few things you can do if your house is not for sale, problems can continue. In that case, the first thing you need to do is check your house price. The longer your home stays in the market, the lower its chances of selling at the price you want. But there are a few things that can help you balance your home so that you can sell it. Consider recently sold properties with similar attributes Check whether it is a Buyers’ market or Sellers’ market Ask your supervisor Check the water Now let’s take a closer look at all these points that will help determine the selling price of a home. CONSIDER THE RECENT GOODS SOLD Similar or comparable properties are similar in size, shape, attributes and neighborhoods. For example, a 10 m house in DHA Lahore will not have the same price as a 10 marla house on Bahria Town Rawalpindi. One needs to do research on homes that have recently been sold in their area or neighborhood to get a negative view of the asking price and the selling price of similar homes. The survey will only give you an idea of ??the average price of real estate for sale but you will have to determine the value of your home based on the condition, renovation, demolition and other factors involved in pricing. Make sure the price is not too high from the standard price range and it makes sense to attract buyers. CHECK IF THE MARKET LOVES BUYERS OR SELLERS You will know that it is the seller's market if there is a shortage of houses or the buyers have the power to buy a house. In this case, retailers have the advantage of asking for a better price because the chances of making a profit are much higher. In the consumer market, there is a surplus of real estate in the market and the number of buyers is low. It is also possible that there is not enough power for consumers and investors to spend money that could lead to a consumer market. The price of the house will obviously vary in both cases and the seller should take into account this factor when determining the price. ASK YOUR REAL ESTATE AGENT If you are selling a house for the first time, you may not be able to determine the price as accurately as a professional seller can do. It is always best to hire a professional like ADVICE ASSOCIATES to help you sell the house because of their customers and sales experience. The realtor has a better understanding of the market than the average person and knows the current trends, which is why they can raise the right price. Although hiring a specialist will be an additional expense, it will definitely be worth it. CHECK THE WATER It is always best to ask for a higher price so that there is enough room for conversation. Some sellers keep a low price because they want to sell their house immediately and do not want to negotiate with the buyer. Some may keep the price low to attract more buyers and sell it to the highest bidder. If you are serious about selling a house, you should put a “sell” sign outside and check the water. Customer feedback is one of the best indicators to check whether you have set the price correctly or not. An unsuitable house can be someone else's dream home and they will be very interested if the price is attractive. These are some essential tips and tricks to sell your house on Right Price.

Education is a basic human right. It plays an important role in improving human health by knowing how the world works. Easy access to education is important in all countries, especially in developing countries, where governments have established a strong network to protect and promote the social and economic well-being of their citizens. In an effort to help Pakistan become a more prosperous society, the Punjab Government has launched the Insaf Afternoon Schools Program which will improve thousands of schools and provide better facilities to encourage people to send their children to school. The Punjab Provincial Department of Education has launched a program to develop more than 8,000 schools in the province in terms of structure as well as their status. The initiative will also create job opportunities for people who pursue their careers in the education sector. According to Punjab Education Minister Murad Raas, the government has taken the initiative to rehabilitate existing schools because of a dramatic reduction in the number of primary school graduates. The minister added that after conducting an afternoon school inspection program, there was an increase in the number of students, most of whom were girls. The government through this program will be providing free cost education to students. Students who enroll in these institutions will have to be admitted free of charge and there is no monthly fee for them. In addition, the government will also provide free textbooks for each student to relieve their parents of the responsibility to do so.

If you are about to enter the stock market with one of your initial investments, you may be concerned about making common investment mistakes that can cost you your time, energy, and money. Do not be afraid! While there are a number of rules for investing in real estate that can ensure that you do not go too far, we will also write down the most common mistakes that any investor can end up making quickly to hit gold. Common Real Estate Investment Mistakes Some common architectural mistakes made by investors are: Not pre-planning Not enough market research Hiring the wrong people for help Intended for temporary recovery Spending more than your worth Not planning for unexpected expenses Lack of support system Now, let's talk in detail about these investment mistakes and how you can avoid them during your investment. Not Pre-Planning Not having a plan in mind is one of the top investment mistakes you should avoid, and the solution is to make a plan before you start investing in the real estate market. Investment is usually a costly endeavor and no matter how good the effort is, you need to think carefully about your decisions and decide what is best for you in the long run. When buying a home for the first time, you need to consider a number of factors, including the price of the property, your needs, future maintenance costs, growth potential, and more. Therefore, do not rush to make a decision. Always plan ahead to avoid one of the most common Real Estate Investment Mistakes. Not Enough Market Research Buying and selling goods requires a ton of research. It's not just about where you can buy the site or what is the closest thing to where you work. It is about knowing what kind of house you can build on that building based on regional design permits and who your neighbors might be in a particular community. Research is also needed to make all financial decisions related to real estate investments, including medium-term prices in a particular area, the need for local rental properties, and more. Lack of research, therefore, is one of the most important investment mistakes that should be avoided by all amateur investors. Hiring the Wrong People for help: From a real estate agent who has been hired to help you get a contract from the construction workers who will be working in your area; you need to hire the right people to get the best results. Therefore, you need to get referrals from people you trust and make sure you do a little background check to determine if you are hiring the right professionals for every job. Intended for Short Time Returns One of the biggest mistakes local investors make is that they enter the market unsure of their return or how soon they want to return to their investment. Both of these cases can lead to any confusion, frustration, and financial loss. Therefore, expecting quick and short-term gains is an investment that you should avoid if you are in it to make it bigger. Real estate is, in general, a well-paying industry over time and many experienced investors will tell you that you have invested in a development that will reap profits over the years rather than in a fast-paced capture and moving system that may not be profitable. The most common reason why real estate investments are often done for a long time is that real estate investment is not a liquid saving that can be converted into cash by a second notice. You will definitely lose money under such circumstances, which is why you should always consider the long-term benefits and strengths of the assets before considering your investment portfolio. Spending more than your Worth If you do well in your market research, you will always be hesitant to pay more than what the goods say under any circumstances. However, what if you have missed a major house fault or an insect attack that will cost you extra money to repair before you return the house to market? Under such circumstances, you may end up spending more than you can afford, especially if you spend almost all of your budget on the initial purchase. Not planning for unexpected expenses On the other hand, if you plan to rent a property, make sure that the property is unoccupied for a very long time. Employee employment becomes a pile of money that requires money in the end to keep it cared for but does not bring in income on return. In addition, be careful when trying to find a suitable employer for your area. Ask specific questions to your tenants so that you know you are renting a home to the right person, who will not only pay you on time but will also keep the property in its current condition, rather than adding to your costs in such a way that additional repairs. Lack of Support System This mistake of planting houses and land is very similar to the one above. You should not spend more than you cost when investing in real estate, but while making your financial plans to invest, it is best to set a higher limit and set aside the maximum amount for your emergency savings and sudden expenses. These costs can be personal, medical, or in the form of emergency or emergency repairs. Coming up with Plan A is good, but remember, there are 25 more characters left. So, have a plan B always! All right. Even if you have only invested your savings in real estate, make sure you not only diversify your portfolio by adding a list of properties and types of properties to it but also preparing for the worst. What if you can't sell your property for a long time? Will you sign up for rent? What if you can't find an employer anytime soon? Do you have friends or family who can help you or spread the word around? Plan everything, including what if your investment dreams fall apart?
