Analyzing the current population explosion, and urban influx in the dynamic city of Rawalpindi, real estate is yet the most beneficial area for investment. But before doing that you have to conduct an elaborative research of whether the property you are going to invest in, has some legal bindings or not. In this regard, Rawalpindi District administration has a statutory body established to register the private sector housing societies. Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA) was established in May 1989 under Punjab City Development Act 1976.
Currently the area under this authority is 311 square kilometers. But, the population of twin cities is exploding tremendously making the city expand towards southern region. Likewise, the number of housing authorities within RDA’s jurisdiction is increasing on daily basis.
RDA is doing an amazing job in this regard. They update the list of approved and illegal housing societies every 15 days. Housing society is only approved if it is compliant with the parameters laid by the body via Punjab City Development Act 1976, in toto.
We here at valueProperty, have brought for you the lists of approved housing societies in Rawalpindi city. Also, we have brought together the list of unapproved housing societies, and those which are under consideration.
