The need for a residence is increasing in Islamabad as the population continues to grow; to meet the ever-growing housing requirements government takes different steps that involve the development of government and private housing societies. Government housing societies are operated by trustworthy bodies such as CDA, LDA, RDA, and other Cooperative schemes. However, private housing schemes need permission to operate, develop and sell plots.
Multiple new private housing schemes are emerging on the map of Islamabad. According to estimates, the number of rising housing schemes is the highest today than ever before. With numerous new housing projects in Islamabad, it is important to know which housing schemes are legal and illegal.
To make things easier for investors, end-users, and stakeholders, regulatory authorities such as Capital Development Authority (CDA) regularly generates lists of legal housing societies in Islamabad. This way, people belonging to the real estate sector can do a background check and learn about the legal status of any society.
Keep in mind that, CDA has a 2-step approval procedure for the housing societies as follows:
- Step 1: CDA approves the Layout Plan (LOP) after technical analysis of documentation submitted by society officials.
- Step 2: If a society succeeds in the completion of subsequent formalities, a No Objection Certificate (NOC) is issued for the project.
Any housing society can start development or sell plots after getting NOC from CDA.
