How does the New Payment Plan affect Existing Investors?
The revision in prices is a good news for existing members (investors) of Lahore Smart City as it will bring profit on the old files (files bought at the old price and plan).
Rest assured, the change in company’s booking price does not affect the payment schedule of existing members who have purchased plots at a previous rate. In fact, this is the actual good news.
How will the new price benefit existing members?
There are two effects!
1. New Booking is Expensive
Firstly, the increase in total booking price and installment amount increases the demand of “old” files in resale. It is cheaper to buy the plot in resale and transfer to your name than booking directly with the company.
So, short-term investors can easily take an exit with a good profit.
2. Old Installment Plan is Easier to Manage
Secondly, the increase in installment amount is more pronounced due to shorter installment plan of 3 years as compared to 3.5 years. Higher installment amount is more burdensome to manage and, hence, decreases the purchasing power of end consumers.
The plots or files with older installment plan are more feasible and easier to manage for end consumers due to smaller installments.
This will result in a higher demand and higher profit on older files.
Market Price of Old Files!
We also saw in the case of Capital Smart City, the pre-launch files of both executive and overseas block enjoyed highest profits when compared to new rates due to the above mechanism.
Currently, the pre-launch files are being traded at the original rate without profit. As the supply in the market will run out, the profits will begin to rise.
At this point, it is recommended for the investors who have booked residential plots in Lahore Smart City at the first price to wait for a few weeks before taking exit.
For those who have not yet purchased any file and wish to take benefit, it is recommended to get in touch with your real estate consultant and avail the short window of opportunity. See the next section for details!
NOC Approved from LDA
Breaking News! Lahore Smart City has got its NOC approval from Lahore Development Authority. This is a huge milestone for the management of Lahore Smart City. The Society is now a legal and authorized abode of investment. For more details visit our posts ” All about NOC approval in Lahore Smart City. “
The detailed tentative master plan of Lahore Smart City has been released which shows the unmatched features offered the society including Theme Park, Education District, a Grand Mosque and Library, Sports District, Golf Course and much more. Furthermore, the exact location of each block in Lahore Smart City can be seen in the new master plan of the society.
Booking in Lahore Smart City
The society has opened very limited booking during the soft launch. The investor rates, as shown in the payment plan, are comparable to those of Capital Smart City in the pre-launch phase.
Since NOC of society has been approved by LDA, the demand and prices of plots in the society are likely to rise sharply.
Residential plots of 5 marla, 10 marla and 1 kanal can be booked at 10% down-payment. Another 10% is to be paid within the first 30 days after booking as confirmation.
So, is it too late to avail the benefits of the pre-launch rates? If you have still not purchased or booked your plot in Lahore Smart City, now is the time to act and benefit from the short window of opportunity.
With the increase in prices, the demand for existing files issued at older rates will increase resulting in handsome profits. Right now is the transition period.
It is still possible to get your hands at the first price through the authorized agents as they might have some inventory left. The opportunity is quite short-lived due to high demand!
