Real Estate & Housing Society Fraud in Pakistan
Real estate fraud is one of the biggest risks faced by overseas Pakistanis.
Because they cannot visit frequently or verify information in person, many expatriates fall victim to fake housing schemes, illegal societies, unverified agents, and fraudulent developers. These scams often result in loss of money, legal complications, and years of stress.
Scammers typically target overseas Pakistanis by offering:
- Attractive installment plans
- Guaranteed profits
- Early investment opportunities
- Fast approvals and possession promises
But many of these offers turn out to be illegal, unapproved, or completely fake.
Common Real Estate & Housing Society Fraud Issues
Illegal / Unapproved Housing Societies
Many societies collect billions in booking fees without:
- NOC (No Objection Certificate)
- LDA/CDA/RDA/KDA approval
- Proper land ownership
- Development plans
Investors end up losing money or waiting indefinitely.
Sale of Non-Existent Plots
Scammers sell:
- Plots that do not exist
- Duplicate plots sold to multiple buyers
- Files with no land backing
These files never get possession or development.
Fake Property Agents / Dealers
Fraudulent agents may:
- Forge transfer documents
- Overcharge on file transfers
- Take booking amounts without depositing them
- Disappear after receiving payments
Delayed Development & Possession
Some societies stop development after collecting funds, leaving buyers with:
- No roads
- No utilities
- No construction progress
- No timeline for possession
Encroachment & Qabza Mafia
In cases where plot land exists, it may be occupied illegally by:
- Land grabbers
- Locals
- Developers themselves
This makes possession difficult and often requires legal action.
False Promises & Misleading Marketing
Housing societies often run flashy ads showing:
- Fake development pictures
- Unrealistic completion timelines
- Guaranteed ROI
These are designed to mislead overseas investors.
Transfer & Registry Fraud
Buyers may face:
- Fake registry papers
- Forged signatures
- Illegal conveyance deeds
- Tampered land records
These issues can lead to massive financial losses.
