A 5 Marla house in DHA Lahore sits on about 1,361 sq ft of land, so the phase, the condition of the building and the file status decide its value more than the plot size alone. Before you buy, confirm the phase and block, inspect the structure, check the approved building plan and get the tax and utility status in writing.
What You Are Buying
One marla is about 272 sq ft, so the land is about 1,361 sq ft, or roughly 151 square yards. The house adds construction on top, so its age, finish and condition matter as much as the address. Older phases such as 5 and 6 tend to be more built-up, as our DHA plots by phase guide explains.

Our listings include a 5 Marla house in Phase 6, a 5 Marla house in Phase 8 and an 8 Marla house in Phase 5, plus this 5 Marla house in Phase 7. Listings change, so ask which are open now.
Inspect the House, Not Only the Papers
Walk the whole house. Look for damp on walls and ceilings, and check the roof, the electrical wiring, the gas and water lines, and the boundary walls. Ask for a structural inspection before you pay, and compare what you find with the asking price.
Documents and Taxes
Trace the ownership chain and confirm that the seller’s name matches the file. Ask for the approved building plan and any completion documents the authority issues. Ask for written proof that property taxes and utility bills are cleared, and ask how the transfer will be recorded.
