File system likely to end in Pakistan real estate reforms

Islamabad: Major real estate reforms are under consideration in Pakistan, with indications that the traditional “file system” may soon be abolished to improve transparency and accountability in the sector. Authorities aim to shift responsibility fully onto developers, ensuring clear ownership structures and reducing fraud risks. This development under the Real Estate Core Cluster reflects a strong Government Policy direction to regulate the property market and protect buyers. For Lahore and Punjab, such reforms could significantly impact investment patterns, making property transactions more secure and reliable. Experts believe this move may restore trust in the real estate sector. Will ending the file system benefit investors? How will this change affect your property decisions?
