Sizes And Measurements Of Plots In Pakistan.

The real estate industry and majorly investment systems float around the plots and land. It is mostly very technical to deal with the units of land. There are many units that are considered for different plots and locations in Pakistan. Recently I came across a new society pamphlet where they had discussed the plot sizes and their prices according to size, location, and type. For a layman, it is way too technical to deal with it.

There is one major confusion in conversions of land units because mostly Lahore, Islamabad, and Punjab area follow Marla, Acre, and Murabba as the unit of land. Whereas in Sindh majorly Karachi and Hyderabad, people follow square yards and square feet. People who are dealing in Islamabad but are originally dwellers of Karachi are not comfortable with Marlas, so they can have easy conversion available here.

Marla is a widely used unit in Pakistan but it is similar to gold Tola which does not show any accurate numbers in standard units. Marla in different parts of Pakistan is different. At some places, Marla is equal to 272.25 sq. ft. whereas the developing and municipal authorities and private housing schemes record Marla as 250 sq. ft.

From my perception, we should start using standard units to measure the land which would make it easy to understand and measure any piece of land.

Following are the tables that give a clear idea of how to convert marla into other units.

1 Marla= 250 Square Feet**

This conversion is usually used in the development and municipal authorities and private housing schemes.
