Key Tips for Buyers
-
Verify the block and sector map before committing. Ivy Green has multiple blocks (Z1–Z6) each at different development phases.
-
Confirm utility status: roads constructed, water & electricity connected, Sui gas if required.
-
Check the transfer charges / membership fees with DHA for the plot size you are buying.
-
Inspect whether the plot is indeed “file only” (non‐possession) or ready to build. A lower asking price may indicate fewer improvements.
-
Negotiate: even within the stated range, some plots are listed for lower as sellers seek quick transaction.
