When it comes to Islamabad, the choice of where you want to live is not an easy one. Many people might prefer living in this green and well-planned city due to its low-cost housing options or "new societies" as they're also known around these parts! 

But can we afford that big expense? That's a question many residents have been wondering.

There is some good news. New social housing projects in Capital Territory cover 1165 sq km. These developments bring affordable homes closer than ever before. It might make sense to invest in them because prices are rising.

The Issue

According to stats shared by the Capital Development Authority (CDA)’s Housing Societies Department in 2015, there were 107 illegal housing societies in Islamabad. These societies are ones for which developers did not get a NOC from the civic authority.

According to the CDA, housing that does not have a NOC is illegal. The civic body also tells marketing agencies to stop advertising these projects. In addition, the CDA tells developers to stop working on these projects without obtaining a NOC.

Normally, if a society is declared illegal by a development authority and it has problems, the department will investigate. So if you want to buy a home in Islamabad and you are looking for affordable options, We recommend that you only choose from societies that have been cleared by the CDA. Also, we will be discussing the most profitable residential societies here with their payment plan.
