When the time to invest your hard-earned money comes, running a background check on the viable options to make an informed choice is the right way to go. To ease the decision-making of investors in this regard, development authorities like Capital Development Authority have released a complete list.
Graana.com brings you a detailed list of CDA-approved housing societies in Islamabad that are a great option for you to invest and live in without any uncertainty and legal scares.
Why Do You Need to Check NOC for CDA-Approved Housing Societies?
If you’re a real estate investor or looking for a plot to build your house, you need to know that illegal housing schemes can be deconstructed anytime as per the order of the court, as per updated CDA news.
To avoid such unfortunate situations in the future, you need to be aware of the housing scheme you’re considering has proof of acquired NOC.
Non-Obligation Certificate (NOC) is proof of legal permission that is given by the CDA office or development authority of an area. This means that the government will supervise the project to be delivered in time, as long as it is legally approved according to the master plan.
