Houses for Sale in DHA Phase 2 Islamabad: 10 Marla vs 1 Kanal

A buyer with PKR 7 crore can find 10 Marla houses advertised in DHA Phase 2 Islamabad. A 1 Kanal house usually needs a larger budget. But size is only the start of the comparison. An older 1 Kanal house may cost close to a premium 10 Marla house. It may also need repairs. In a small sample checked on 6 October 2026, three 10 Marla houses were advertised from PKR 5.75 crore to PKR 6.75 crore. Three 1 Kanal houses were advertised from PKR 9.45 crore to PKR 14 crore. These are sellers’ asking prices. They are not completed transactions or fixed market rates. The point is to compare the space and condition you will actually get for your budget.

DHA Phase 2 Islamabad House Prices By Size and Condition

The examples below come from individual advertisements. Each link opens the source listing. Prices can change, and an advertised house may no longer be available.

How to read this table: It is six selected advertisements, not a representative market survey. “New,” “maintained,” room counts and parking details are seller claims. Inspect the house and records. The PKR 14 crore listing, for example, gives different bedroom and parking counts in different parts of its own page. Ask for an accurate plan and check it on site.

What Does The Extra Money Buy?

A 1 Kanal plot gives you more land than a 10 Marla plot. It may allow a larger lawn, more parking and a less crowded layout. Yet a large plot does not guarantee a better home. A poor floor plan can waste space. A compact, well-kept 10 Marla house may work better for a family that needs five bedrooms and little outdoor maintenance. Look past the bedroom count. Ask how many rooms are on the ground floor. Check whether parents or guests can use a bedroom without stairs. See if the kitchen, lounge and parking suit your daily routine. Measure the actual covered area from approved drawings where available. Plot size and built area are different figures. The sampled ads do not provide a consistent, verified covered-area measure, so this guide does not invent one. A basement, corner position or furnishing may raise the demand. Each can also bring a cost. Check basement dampness, extra-land status and exactly which fixtures stay with the house. Do not pay for “fully furnished” without an inventory attached to the agreement.

Can a Used House Be The Better Buy?

Yes, if the structure is sound and the repair cost is clear. One sample used 10 Marla house asks PKR 5.75 crore. A sample new 10 Marla house asks PKR 6.75 crore. The asking-price gap is PKR 1 crore. That is room for repairs, but it is not a saving until you inspect and price the work. Consider a fictional budget test. If a used house costs PKR 5.75 crore and independent repair estimates total PKR 30 lakh, your starting property-and-repair budget is PKR 6.05 crore. Compared with a PKR 6.75 crore new-house demand, the gap is PKR 70 lakh. Taxes, transfer costs, negotiation and unexpected repairs are excluded. These numbers illustrate the method; they are not repair quotes for the listed house. A new house needs inspection too. Fresh paint can hide seepage. Check roof drainage, bathrooms, wiring, plumbing, windows and the quality of finishes. Ask who built it and request the approved plan and relevant completion record. A qualified inspector or engineer can assess issues that a viewing cannot settle.

What Should You Check Before Making an Offer?

Use the same viewing sheet for every house. It will make the price comparison fairer.

DHA Islamabad–Rawalpindi lists a statement of dues and a No Demand Certificate among its transfer checks in the official FAQ. It also mentions an NOC for transferring completed or under-construction buildings on its official site. Confirm the current steps with DHA for the exact house. Do not treat an agent’s “all clear” message as a document check.

Which House Fits Your Budget?

Shortlist a 10 Marla house if its rooms, parking and outdoor space meet your needs. Then compare a used option with a new one. Spend the price difference only after you know the repair cost. Shortlist a 1 Kanal house if you need more land and can cover its full acquisition and upkeep cost. A lower-priced used 1 Kanal house may be attractive. Its condition and layout must justify the extra spending over a 10 Marla home. Before paying a token, get a written price, a document check and a clear list of included fixtures. Contact Aslaaf Builders with the houses you are considering. We can help you compare layouts, ask the right questions, and flag costs that deserve a closer look.
