Buying your first home is the biggest financial decision most families make. Follow this practical checklist to buy with confidence.
1. Set a real budget
Include transfer taxes, agent commission, and a renovation buffer โ not just the sticker price. Use our Mortgage & ROI calculators to pressure-test affordability.
2. Verify the NOC & approvals
Confirm the society/project is approved by the relevant authority (CDA, LDA, DHA, Bahria, PDA). An NOC badge on Realtabook is a declaration โ verify the original documents yourself.
3. Check the documents
Original title (Fard/registry), CNIC of the owner, and society dues clearance. Never pay a token or advance before you have seen originals.
4. Visit and compare
Schedule visits through the platform, compare up to four properties side by side, and benchmark price against the Price Index.
5. Deal safely
Meet in safe, public places, deal only with verified parties, and never transfer money to anyone claiming to collect “on behalf of Realtabook” โ we never handle transaction payments.
