FAQ
About ARK & RUDA
Is ARK Estates part of RUDA?
No. ARK is an independent consultancy and a Registered Sales Partner of RUDA — we sell RUDA projects but are not the authority.
What does “Registered Sales Partner” mean?
RUDA lists approved partners who may market its projects. Registered partners deal in verified inventory and follow the authority’s booking process.
Which developers does ARK deal in?
RUDA (Chahar Bagh Phase 1, Enclave, Reva, Farms), DHA Lahore, and Etihad Town.
Does ARK charge buyers a fee?
Standard market practice applies per deal type — ask your consultant up front; there are never hidden charges.
Where are ARK’s offices?
Lahore (head office), with an overseas desk in the UAE.
Payments & Security
Who do I pay for a RUDA plot?
RUDA directly, through official banking channels against your designated account. ARK never collects plot payments.
Is cash accepted?
No. RUDA accepts payments only through official banking channels — this protects you and your money trail.
How do I confirm my payment reached RUDA?
Deposit slips are verified against RUDA records; ARK confirms each submission and shares the confirmation with you.
Are DHA and Etihad payments the same?
Each developer has its own official process; ARK guides you through the correct channel for every deal.
What proof do I get?
Official receipts, intimation letters and, after transfer, the allocation/allotment documents in your name.
Booking Process
What documents do I need?
CNIC copy, nominee CNIC, two passport photos — overseas buyers use NICOP.
How long does booking take?
With documents ready, a booking is typically filed the same day; confirmations follow the authority’s schedule.
Can I choose a specific plot?
Yes — live inventory shows exact plot locations where balloting is complete.
What are quarterly installments?
RUDA plots are paid over installments billed by the authority; ARK tracks every due date for you.
Can I sell before possession?
Files and balloted plots can be resold subject to the authority’s transfer rules — ARK handles resale end to end.
Overseas Buyers
Can I book from abroad?
Yes — selection, documentation and payment all work remotely through our overseas desk.
Do I need to visit Pakistan?
No. A NICOP and standard documents are enough; ARK manages the on-ground steps.
How do I send money safely?
Directly to the authority’s official account from your own bank — never through informal channels.
Is there UAE support?
Yes — our UAE office supports viewing appointments, documentation and follow-ups in your timezone.
What about power of attorney?
Where needed, we guide you through the embassy-attested POA process step by step.
Projects & Possession
When is Chahar Bagh Phase 1 possession?
Phase 1 is in the possession-soon stage — contact us for the latest authority timeline.
Which project fits a small budget?
Etihad Town’s 3 Marla plots and Chahar Bagh Reva files are the most accessible entry points.
Are farmhouses available?
Yes — Chahar Bagh Farms offers 4 and 8 Kanal farmhouse estates on Kala Khatai Road.
Do prices include development charges?
Pricing structure varies by project; your consultant will break down every component before you commit.
How do I get current prices?
Prices change with authority notifications — request today’s verified rates on any project page.
