NFC Phase II management blues over thanks to court ruling
For those that don’t know, NFC Phase II,
a project of National Fertilizer Corporation Employees Cooperative Housing
Society Ltd, has been stuck in limbo because of management related issues.
Recently, a court hearing looked into the matter and gave a verdict that goes
in favour of the investors.
The
society has been ordered to hold elections and elect a party that can take
charge of management related tasks. According to my sources, four different
parties were fighting against each other to take over said tasks. One of them
had taken a stay order from the court, which resulted in a dreadlock. We can
expect big changes for the society now that the court has issued orders to
conduct elections.
The
new management that will take charge after elections take place is expected to
prioritise development work. I have heard that tenders for infrastructure
development in the society are ready, which is why I believe that the new
management won’t waste time and start development immediately.
Despite
the issues it has faced, investors have always sought after this society.
According to Zameen.com’s stats, prices of 10-marla plots in the society
increased 41.14% in 2016. Similarly, the average price of 1-kanal plots also
witnessed an upward push of 60.48%, while 5-marla plots registered an increase
of 25%.
Here
is the current pricing situation:

NFC
Phase II will also be affected by developments on the Lahore Ring Road (LRR).
However, its route will not do much damage to the society, as only a few
residential plots in Block A, and commercial plots located at the entrance of
the society are expected to fall within the path. In fact, property prices in
NFC Phase II will increase after LRR is completed. This is because it will mean
better accessibility for the society. It is pertinent to mention here that the
government has not yet awarded contracts for these developments to any
construction company.
Now
investors need to wait for elections to take place. And I hope the date for the
elections is announced sooner rather than later. Investors that have been
waiting all this time will now finally be able to enjoy the fruits of their
patience.
Considering
all these factors, I believe this is the right time to invest in NFC’s Phase
II. Prices of property in neighbouring societies are quite high, and NFC Phase
II will also touch that mark after development work starts.
I
hope the court verdict has brought along a sigh of relief for NFC Phase II
investors
