5 Marla Plot Price in Bahria Town Islamabad

5 Marla Plots in Bahria Town Islamabad at a Glance

The 5 marla plot is the most affordable way to own land in Bahria Town Islamabad, and it remains one of the most traded plot sizes in the society. It suits families planning a compact first home, buyers who want to build and rent out, and investors with a limited budget. This guide sets out current 5 marla plot prices by phase and block, explains why prices differ so much, and lists the checks to make before you pay.

Size and Layout of a 5 Marla Plot

In Bahria Town, a 5 marla plot covers 1,125 square feet, based on 225 square feet per marla. Most are laid out as 25 by 45 feet. This size allows a double-storey house of three to four bedrooms, which is why it is popular with small families.

Property portals list most Bahria Town phases under Rawalpindi, while buyers commonly call the whole project Bahria Town Islamabad. Both names refer to the same society. The prices below are average asking prices from listings for September 2026, so treat them as a starting point for negotiation rather than final sale prices.

Average 5 Marla Plot Price and Trend

Across Bahria Town, the average 5 marla plot was priced at PKR 66.47 lakh in September 2026, or about PKR 5,900 per square foot.

Prices were almost flat between late 2024 and late 2025, then rose sharply over the past year. Small plots have led the recent recovery in Bahria Town, as more buyers look for land within a limited budget.

5 Marla Plot Price by Phase

Most 5 marla plots on the market today are in Phase 8, the largest and newest part of Bahria Town. Phase 7 has a smaller supply at a higher price. The older phases, 1 to 6, were planned mainly around larger plots and are fully built, so open 5 marla plots there rarely come up for sale.

A 5 marla plot in Phase 7 costs about 71% more than one in Phase 8 (1.12 ÷ 0.6549 = 1.71). Buyers pay this premium for a settled neighbourhood, closer access to the main commercial areas and the chance to build sooner. Read more about the phase in our Bahria Town Phase 7 guide.

Block-Wise 5 Marla Plot Prices in Phase 8

Bahria Town Phase 8 is made up of many blocks and sectors, and 5 marla prices vary widely between them.

The Overseas Enclave figure is from August 2026, the latest month available for that sub-area. Price per square foot for Overseas Enclave and Safari Valley is worked out from the plot price over 1,125 square feet.

Premium Blocks

Sector E-3, Rafi Block, Overseas Enclave, Block B and Safari Valley form the upper end of the Phase 8 market, with 5 marla plots between about PKR 84 lakh and PKR 1.03 crore. These areas are better developed, closer to main roads or popular with families who are already building. Sector E-3, Rafi Block and Sector F-1 also posted some of the strongest gains, at 25% or more over the year.

Mid-Range Blocks

Block M, Sector E-1, Sector F-1 and Block L sit close to the Phase 8 average, between about PKR 65 lakh and PKR 76 lakh. For many buyers, these blocks offer a balance between price and development.

Lowest-Priced Options

Block N, Rose Garden and Bahria Orchard have the lowest averages. Bahria Orchard, at under PKR 30 lakh, is far below every other area. Prices this low usually point to plots that are not yet developed or handed over, so buyers are paying for a future plot rather than land ready for building. Treat the cheapest options with extra care and confirm possession status before paying anything.

Our Finding: How Wide Is the Price Range?

Within Phase 8 alone, the most expensive area for a 5 marla plot (Sector E-3, PKR 1.03 crore) costs about 3.6 times the cheapest (Bahria Orchard, PKR 28.77 lakh). Calculation: 1.03 ÷ 0.2877 = 3.58.

Even between two developed blocks, the gap is large. A 5 marla plot in Rafi Block (PKR 91.15 lakh) costs about 41% more than one in Block L (PKR 64.83 lakh). Calculation: 0.9115 ÷ 0.6483 = 1.41.

The lesson is simple: the block you choose matters far more than the size of the plot.

Plot or Ready House?

A ready 5 marla house in Phase 8 averaged about PKR 2.10 crore in September 2026, against PKR 65.49 lakh for a plot. The difference, about PKR 1.45 crore, is roughly what buyers pay for a finished structure (2.10 minus 0.65 = 1.45).

Buying a plot and building yourself can cost less and lets you choose your own design, but it takes time, money upfront and careful supervision. A ready house costs more but can be lived in or rented out straight away.

What Affects the Price of a 5 Marla Plot

• Possession status: plots with possession and completed roads, sewerage and power lines cost far more than non-possession plots or files.
• Block development: blocks where many houses are already built sell faster and at higher prices.
• Location within the block: corner, park-facing and main-road plots carry a premium over standard plots.
• Utilities: gas, electricity and water connections add value, especially in newer blocks.
• Paperwork: a clear allocation, possession and transfer record supports a higher price.

Check Before You Pay

1. Verify the plot with the Bahria Town office. Confirm the plot number, owner name, possession status and any unpaid dues before signing.
2. Visit the plot. Check that the plot exists on the ground, its level, access road and surrounding development.
3. Ask about pending charges. Development, possession or other charges may still be due and add to the total cost.
4. Budget for transfer costs. Transfer fees and FBR advance taxes are paid on top of the plot price.
