You live in London, Houston, Dubai or Riyadh. You work hard, you save, and part of you always plans to come home. So the question keeps coming back: should you invest in Pakistan property from abroad? And if yes, how do you do it with confidence from thousands of miles away?
The answer starts with choosing the right project and the right team. This guide is written for overseas Pakistanis in the UK, USA, UAE and Saudi Arabia. It covers the steps that apply to everyone first, then gives each country its own section with practical tips on staying in touch, sending money and planning a visit.
We use Amaltas Heights in DHA Phase 2 Islamabad as the example throughout.
Quick answer: Overseas Pakistanis can invest in a DHA Phase 2 Islamabad apartment by choosing a DHA-approved project, contacting the sales team by phone or email, and booking with a 25% down payment. At Amaltas Heights, the rest is paid as 65% over 36 monthly installments and 10% at possession, with offices in Islamabad, Karachi and Dubai to help buyers wherever they live.
Why Overseas Pakistanis Look at Amaltas Heights
Most overseas buyers want one of three things. A home for their parents. A base for family visits and, one day, retirement. Or a solid asset back home. Amaltas Heights is built around all three.
- A landmark address. A ground-plus-sixteen storey tower of 164 residences on a prime 5.69-kanal, three-side corner plot in DHA Phase 2, Islamabad.
- DHA approved. The project is approved by DHA Islamabad, with allotment carried out by DHA Islamabad.
- A secure, gated district. DHA Phase 2 has direct access to the Islamabad Expressway.
- An office near you. Besides Islamabad, the team has offices in Karachi and Dubai.
Step-by-Step: How to Invest from Abroad
These steps are the same whether you live in Manchester or Jeddah. The country sections further down add the local details.
Step 1: Choose your home
Amaltas Heights offers two ways to own the skyline:
- Apartments on floors 1 to 13, in 1, 2 and 3-bedroom layouts.
- Sky duplexes on floors 14 and 15, in 3 and 4-bedroom layouts across private lower, upper and rooftop levels.
The 1 and 2-bedroom apartment plans and the 3 and 4-bedroom duplex plans are on the Residences page. The 3-bedroom apartment layout is available on request.
Step 2: See the project from home
Watch the project walkthrough below. Then browse the renders, interiors and amenities in our Gallery.
Step 3: Talk to the team
Call +92 307 0111 088 or email info@amaltasheights.com. Ask about availability, layouts, current prices and your payment schedule. You can also visit one of our offices, listed on the Contact page.
Step 4: Book with 25% down
Your 25% down payment confirms your unit at pre-launch pricing. Pre-launch prices start from Rs 1.49 crore, and prices vary by unit type, size and floor.
Step 5: Pay the rest in installments
The remaining amount follows a simple plan:
| Stage | Share of price | When |
|---|---|---|
| Down payment | 25% | At booking |
| Monthly installments | 65% | 36 monthly installments over 3 years |
| Possession | 10% | When you receive your keys |
As a simple guide, every Rs 1 crore of price works out to about Rs 1.81 lakh per month. The exact schedule depends on the unit you choose, and the payment plan and prices are subject to change. Read the full breakdown in our guide to apartments on installments in DHA Phase 2 Islamabad.
Step 6: Allotment by DHA Islamabad
At Amaltas Heights, allotment is carried out by DHA Islamabad. Keep a safe copy of your documents abroad and one with your family in Pakistan.
Investing from the UK
Many British Pakistani families buy in Islamabad for their parents, for holidays, or as a future home.
- Getting in touch: Pakistan is 4 hours ahead of the UK in summer and 5 hours ahead in winter. A UK morning call reaches our team in the early afternoon.
- Sending money: Use your bank and official banking channels only, and keep a record of every transfer.
- Paperwork help: If you need a family member in Pakistan to sign for you, a power of attorney can be attested at the Pakistan High Commission or a Pakistani Consulate in the UK.
- Planning a visit: Many families travel over the December holidays. Contact the team before you fly to arrange a private viewing.
Investing from the USA
Pakistani Americans often buy with a long-term view: a home for retirement, or a place for children to stay connected to their roots.
- Getting in touch: Pakistan is 9 to 10 hours ahead of New York and 12 to 13 hours ahead of California. Your evening is our team’s morning.
- Sending money: Use bank wire transfers through official channels and keep your bank records for a clean paper trail.
