For Overseas Pakistanis
Buy, build, and manage Islamabad property — from anywhere in the world
Amanah stands on the ground for you. Independent verification before you commit, professional execution when you do, and ongoing care so your investment stays protected.
The overseas journey
Three stages, one trusted team
Most overseas property pain comes from stitching together different providers — one for verification, another for buying, another for construction, another for rent collection. We run the whole journey under one accountable roof.
- 01
Independent verification
Before you commit a single rupee, we visit the plot, house, or project for you — with dated photos, a short walk-through video, and a plain-language field report.
Independent verification - 02
Buying or building support
Society paperwork, banking-channel payments, NICOP / POC guidance, POA coordination, and fully supervised construction if you're building.
Buying services - 03
Ongoing management
Once you own, we take care of it — rent collection, tenant handling, maintenance, inspections, and monthly photo/video updates.
Property management for overseas
Practical information
The documents and channels you’ll need
NICOP / POC
Your NICOP or Pakistan Origin Card is the primary identity document for property transactions. We guide you through what's needed.
Power of Attorney
A properly notarised and attested Power of Attorney (at the Pakistan High Commission / consulate) lets a trusted representative — or our firm — act on your behalf cleanly.
Roshan Digital Account
RDA simplifies remittances from abroad for property purchase and rental receipts. We coordinate with your bank to keep flows clean.
Reporting you can forward
Monthly photo, video, and written reports — formatted for email or WhatsApp, easy to archive or share with family.
Red flags before sending money from abroad
If any of these show up, pause. Always verify, always document, always use banking channels.
- A seller refusing to share allotment paperwork before an advance payment.
- Pressure to transfer funds immediately to a personal (not business) account.
- Pre-launch or pre-NOC 'files' promoted with unrealistic appreciation claims.
- Agents who won't let an independent party verify the plot before payment.
- Cash-only deals with no banking channel — never proceed on these.
FAQs
Overseas buyers — common questions
- Can I legally buy property in Pakistan from abroad?
- Yes — overseas Pakistanis with NICOP or POC can freely buy residential property in Pakistan, with no quota limits. Agricultural land has restrictions. Commercial purchase rules are similar to residential for NICOP/POC holders.
- Do I have to travel to Pakistan to buy?
- Not necessarily. Most overseas clients transact remotely using a properly notarised Power of Attorney to a trusted representative or to us. Independent on-ground verification, banking-channel payments, and formal transfer paperwork can all happen without you flying in.
- How do I avoid scams when buying from abroad?
- The biggest risks are pre-NOC schemes, duplicate file sales, and inflated category premiums. Protect yourself by: verifying society NOC independently, using an independent verification service for the specific plot, paying only through banking channels, and never authorising funds without written allotment paperwork.
- What documents do I need to buy property as an overseas Pakistani?
- Valid NICOP or POC, overseas address proof, NTN from FBR (for filer tax status), banking-channel proof of funds, and a valid CNIC of any attorney-holder. For the actual transaction, society-specific documentation applies.
- Which societies are safest for overseas investment?
- Preference typically goes to CDA-approved societies with a track record of delivery — DHA Margalla Enclave (DHA-CDA JV), Park View City (CDA + SC validated), and established Bahria phases. Avoid pre-NOC schemes, no matter how attractive the marketing.
- How do I receive rent from Pakistan to my overseas account?
- Rent is typically collected in a Pakistan-based account (your own or a designated account) by bank transfer from the tenant. From there, you can remit abroad using standard banking channels or use a Roshan Digital Account for direct international transfer.
- Can Amanah help me through the entire journey?
- Yes — that's exactly what we've built. Independent verification → buying or building → ongoing management. One team, one point of contact, one set of processes, with monthly reporting you can trust.
