The most common way to sell your real estate property in Pakistan is through the help of real estate agents.

Make sure you hire legit real estate agents who have success stories and people are aware of their presence. There are a lot of scams prevailing in society who are all set to rip you off your money. Beware of them and hire the people who have a legit presence.

Before inviting buyers into your home or property, make sure it is presentable and there are no loopholes or apparent flaws in your house.

For instance, if you have any leakages or if some wall needs repair, go for it and make sure you fix your home before the visit.

These repairs might require some money but it is highly rewarding as well. A repaired and polished house can get you better rates.

Real estate investment is an excellent way to secure your money for the long run. However, it can be highly challenging and sensitive to legal issues as well.

Therefore, make sure you follow all the legal factors to ensure security and transparency.

Some of the documents needed include:

1. Photos of the two parties (buyer and seller).
2. Copies of National Identity Cards (NIC) of the concerned parties.
3. The original title deed of the seller. The title deed is the document that proves the ownership of the seller.
4. A sale deed is a legal contract signed between the buyer and the seller to ensure transparency.
5. Record of rights, which is also known as fard, can be obtained from the property registration office in your specific area. This document ensures that the property belongs to the seller.
6. Non-demand Certificate (NDC) is a document showing that you don’t owe any dues for the property. You can either get it from the development authority of your area or if you are living in a housing society, you can get it from there.

Once you get offers from the buyers, set meetings with them. Talk to them, ask them about their budget and tell them about your offer. Also, ask them how they will pay you. Will they make payments in installment or will they opt for a lump sum amount. Discuss everything with them and do not forget to show them around the property. Apart from describing the pros of the property, tell them about the pros of the vicinity and its amenities as well.

For instance, you can tell them about the utilities such as availability of gas, water, and electricity. You can also tell them about the infrastructure and security conditions of the property.

This is the trickiest part of the whole process. Exchange information with the buyers and tell them the advantages of the property. Also, tell them your asking price, the mode of payment you would prefer, and all the legality related to the property.

Decide the token money. It is a small amount that you give to the seller to seal the deal.

Usually, in Pakistan, the token money is mix-matched with Bayana. It is more formal than token money because Bayana is combined with written agreements as well.

After setting everything on paper, you transfer the property in the name of the buyer. This may take some days.

So, these are some of the things that you should keep in your mind while trading real estate. Make sure everything is legally bound, transparent and secure. If you’re looking to live in Karachi, we bring you a list of top-performing areas in Karachi for you to invest in.
