Land Grabbing in Pakistan

It should be easy to identify who is the victim when we talk about land grabbing. However, if a property buyer does not check whom the property genuinely belongs to, the matter gets a lot more complicated in the eyes of the law. The wronged buyer is considered involved in land grabbing in this scenario.

Although the Supreme Court of Pakistan has passed laws against such acts, the loopholes in the judicial system allow such frauds to get away with it.

We'll go through some of the methods for preserving your plot in Lahore Smart City free of the land mafia.

Before You Buy, Inspect Your Property

Because not everyone is familiar with the complicated process of purchasing and transferring real estate, one should hire a lawyer for assistance. After that, the lawyer will check the legitimacy of the property paperwork and legally conclude the property transfer.

Declare Possession of Your Property

You must mark the property as yours after you've purchased it. You can accomplish this by erecting a boundary wall around your property. You can as well build a construction material storage unit on the plot. You can always use that material whenever you start construction. Furthermore, employ a security guard to serve as a 24-hour keeper if your property is in an area where land grabbing is an every-day-routine. Let’s say you have a plot in Blue World City; you should stay in touch with the administration of its housing society.

Secure Your Documents

This is a necessary need, yet many people are apathetic when it comes to selling their homes or having their documents photocopied. If you're thinking about selling, make sure you don't share the official allotment letter with just everybody. Draw a cross using red ink across the photocopy of your documents. Blur all the critical features as well. Moreover, if you have any evidence of encroachment in any place, you should contact the relevant authorities.
