Walk-through video
Our own dealer stands on this plot and shows you the road, the sides and the level — so you can judge it before you travel.
Where it sits
42/2Plot record
Straight from DHA's own record.
Measured off the map
Worked out from the plot's own outline on DHA's map — nobody typed these in.
Front is usual, but it runs shorter from front to back. What the plot types mean
Please note.Every measurement here — the sides, the area, and any excess area — is our own reading of DHA's map, not a survey and not an official figure. For the exact numbers, ask DHA or apply to them for this plot's site plan.
About the cut corner — this is still a standard plot
DHA cuts a small piece off the corner of every corner plot, so the front measures a little shorter than the plot's full width. That cut land still belongs to the owner, and every corner plot in DHA has it. Dealers and buyers do not count it against the price. A corner plot sells for the same as a standard plot of its size, usually a little more — and it is called a standard plot, not a non-standard one.
On this plot the front measures 39 ftalong the road because the corner is cut, while the plot's full width is 72 ft. Both are in the table of sides below. The size you are buying is the full width.
Our own measurement across DHA agrees: a corner 1 Kanal plot covers 4,826 sq ft on average against 4,492 for one that is not on a corner — 334 sq ft more, not less.
Papers and possession
DHA's map says nothing about either of these. Possession comes from DHA's own possession notices where one has been issued for this plot; the rest comes from our own enquiry, and where we have not enquired yet, it says so.
Development in this phase is complete — roads, electricity, water and sewerage are all in.
Seen on the ground
These fill in when our dealer stands on the plot. We would rather leave them blank than guess.
What lifts this plot's price, and what pulls it down
Same block, same size, two plots — these are the things that make one cost more.
In its favour
- Corner plot — two sides open on to a road. The cut corner does not count against it: that land stays with the owner and every corner plot in DHA has it
- 3 sides open, not just the front
- Standard shape — squarish, no wasted corners
- Park within a short walk
Against it
- 406 sq ft smaller than the usual 1 Kanal here (9.1% short)
- Runs only 57 ft deep against DHA's usual 90 ft

Every side of this plot
5sides, measured off DHA's own map. Left and right are as you stand on the road looking at the plot. Directions are true north, not the map's top edge.
| Side | Length | Faces | On the other side |
|---|---|---|---|
| Front | 39 ft | South East137° | Road, Plot No. 61/1 opposite |
| Cut corner | 15 ft | East101° | Road, Plot No. 61/1 opposite |

| Back | 51 ft | North West309° | Plot No. 42/1/1 |
| Right side | 81 ft | South West219° | Plot No. 42/3 |
| All round | 258 ft | encloses 4,078 sq ft — about 15.0 Marla | |
The cut corner is DHA's own splay, on every corner plot. It shortens the front as measured, but the land stays with the owner and no dealer prices it down.
Which way it faces
The front looks South East (137°). So this is a south east facing plot.
The sun comes over the front on an east-facing plot and over the back on a west-facing one — which decides where the shade falls and which rooms stay cool.
Qibla from this plot
The qibla lies at 261° (roughly west, a little south), which is 34° off this plot's walls.
The qibla cuts across the plot at close to a diagonal, so a prayer mat will not line up with any wall. Worth keeping in mind when the rooms are laid out.
The same direction matters for the washrooms. A Muslim does not sit facing the qibla or with the back to it, so the WC should be set across the qibla line rather than along it. Tell your architect the qibla bearing before the plan is drawn, not after the walls are up.

This is not DHA’s site plan. It is a drawing we have made from DHA’s own map, to the same shape and the same proportions, so you can see how the plot sits before you visit.
