Real Estate & Property Law
Expert Legal Solutions for Buying, Selling, and Protecting Property in Pakistan
1. Overview
Real estate is the most significant investment for many Pakistanis, yet it is fraught with legal risks such as fraud, illegal possession (Qabza), and defective titles.
At The Law Point, we provide comprehensive property law services. Located in Bahria Town, Lahore, we specialize in verifying property documents, managing transfers, and aggressively fighting litigation to protect your assets.
2. Why Choose Us?
Navigating the patwar system and housing societies requires local expertise. We ensure your investment is safe.
We never recommend a purchase without a thorough background check. We verify ownership history (Fard/Chain of Title) to ensure you are not buying a disputed property.
3. Our Expertise
Documentation
Drafting Sale Agreements, Gift Deeds, and Power of Attorney with legal precision.
Litigation
Filing Stay Orders and suits for Specific Performance or Recovery of Possession.
Verification
Checking NOCs and legal status of plots in DHA, LDA, and private societies.
4. Property Litigation
When disputes arise, we act swiftly. Our litigation team handles complex cases in Civil Courts and High Courts.
- Stay Orders: Immediately stopping illegal construction or sale of your property.
- Illegal Dispossession: Filing criminal complaints against land grabbers (Qabza groups).
- Declaration of Title: Establishing your legal ownership through court decrees.
5. Transfer & Registry Process
We manage the entire transfer process to ensure a clean title handover.
This includes obtaining the Fard (ownership proof) from the Patwari or Arazi Record Center, drafting the Sale Deed, paying government taxes (Stamp duty, CVT), and appearing before the Sub-Registrar for the final signature.
6. Dealing with Housing Societies
We handle NDCS (No Demand Certificates) and transfer procedures specific to these societies to ensure smooth file transfers.
Many new societies lack LDA approval. We verify the legal status (NOC) of the society before you invest a single rupee.
7. Landlord & Tenant Law
Rent disputes are common. We protect both landlords and tenants under the Punjab Rented Premises Act.
We draft robust Tenancy Agreements and register them with the Rent Registrar. If a tenant defaults or refuses to vacate, we file eviction petitions in the Rent Tribunal to recover possession and arrears.
8. For Overseas Pakistanis
Buying or selling property while abroad is risky without legal representation. We are your trusted representatives on the ground.
We handle the entire buy/sell process via General Power of Attorney. We verify the property, negotiate the price, and complete the transfer, ensuring funds are handled securely.
9. Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Stay Order?
It is a court order preventing a party from selling, constructing, or changing the status of a disputed property.
Is a file the same as a plot?
No. A file is a promise of a future plot. A plot has a physical location and map. Files carry higher risk; we verify them before purchase.
How long does a property case take?
Civil litigation can take years, but we expedite matters by seeking summary judgments and stay orders to force settlements.
Can Overseas Pakistanis buy property?
Yes, absolutely. You can buy property in your name without visiting Pakistan using a Power of Attorney.
What documents do I need to sell?
You typically need the original Sale Deed/Allotment Letter, CNIC, and an NDC (No Demand Certificate) from the relevant authority.
