Transferring a plot file in Faisal Town Phase 2 is something thousands of buyers and sellers need to do whether they’re selling a resale file, gifting a plot to a family member, or updating ownership after inheritance. Yet no single page explains the process clearly from start to finish. This guide covers everything: the difference between a file transfer and a plot transfer, what needs to be settled before you can start, the documents both parties need, the step-by-step process at Faisal Tower, how overseas buyers can handle it without visiting Pakistan, and what typically causes delays. Read this before you meet any agent or hand over any documents.
File Transfer vs Plot Transfer Which One Applies to You?
Before starting any transfer process, you need to know which type of transfer you’re actually dealing with because the process and documents differ depending on whether your file has a plot number yet or not.
| Situation | Transfer Type | What It Means |
| Your file has no plot number yet | File transfer | You’re transferring a booking right not confirmed land |
| Your file has a confirmed plot number | Plot transfer | You’re transferring ownership of an allocated, numbered plot |
| You’re selling before allocation | File transfer | Buyer takes over your booking position |
| You’re selling after allocation | Plot transfer | Buyer takes over a specific numbered plot with fixed location |
| Inheritance or gift to family | Either depends on stage | Confirm with sales office which applies to your file’s current status |
The practical difference matters because a plot transfer typically requires the allotment letter with a confirmed plot number, while a file transfer works from the original booking receipt. If you’re unsure which stage your file is at, call Faisal Tower on 051-111-324-725 with your file number and they’ll confirm before you gather documents.
Before You Start What Must Be Settled First
Faisal Town Phase 2 will not process a transfer if there are outstanding dues on the file. This is confirmed directly all installments up to the final due amount must be cleared before a transfer can proceed. Showing up at the transfer office with missing payments will result in the transfer being refused until the account is brought fully up to date.
Before visiting the sales office, check all of the following:
| Pre-Transfer Requirement | Status Check |
| All installments paid in full | Log in to the member portal at faisaltown.com.pk/portal to verify your payment history |
| No late payment penalties outstanding | Confirm with sales team penalties must be cleared separately |
| No legal dispute or hold on the file | Ask the sales office directly to confirm the file is dispute-free |
| No development charges outstanding | Confirm whether any additional charges apply to your specific sector |
| Original booking documents available | Locate your original allotment letter and all payment receipts before proceeding |
Clearing all of the above before your visit saves time and avoids a wasted trip to Faisal Tower.
Documents Required for File Transfer
Both the seller and the buyer need to bring their own set of documents to the transfer process. Missing even one item from either side typically means the transfer can’t be completed on the same day. The sections below list exactly what each party needs.
Documents the Seller Needs to Provide
| Document | Details |
| Original allotment letter | The letter issued at the time of booking in the seller’s name |
| All original payment receipts | Every receipt from booking fee through to final installment |
| CNIC copies | 2 copies of the seller’s national identity card |
| Next of kin CNIC copies | 2 copies of the next of kin registered on the original booking form |
| Passport-size photographs | Typically 2–4 recent photographs of the seller |
| No Dues Certificate | Confirmation from Faisal Town Group that no outstanding amount remains |
| Transfer application form | Available at the Faisal Tower sales office filled and signed by the seller |
Documents the Buyer Needs to Provide
| Document | Details |
| CNIC copies | 2 copies of the buyer’s national identity card |
| Next of kin CNIC copies | 2 copies of the buyer’s nominated next of kin |
| Passport-size photographs | Typically 2–4 recent photographs of the buyer |
| Transfer fee payment | Pay Order or Demand Draft in favour of Faisal Town (PVT) Ltd for the applicable transfer fee |
| Filled transfer application form | Available at the sales office completed with buyer’s details |
Additional Documents for Overseas Buyers
Overseas buyers or sellers who can’t attend in person need one additional document above everything else:
| Document | Details |
| Power of Attorney | Authorises a representative in Pakistan to sign and act on your behalf |
| Attestation requirement | Must be attested through the Pakistani Embassy or High Commission in your country of residence |
| NICOP copies | 2 copies of NICOP instead of standard CNIC for overseas identity verification |
| Proof of overseas address | Utility bill or bank statement showing current country of residence |
Start the Power of Attorney process before anything else attestation through the Embassy takes time depending on your country, and you can’t proceed without it.
Step-by-Step Transfer Process From Application to Completion
No competitor page covers this as a clear numbered process. Here’s exactly how a Faisal Town Phase 2 file or plot transfer works from start to finish.
| Step | Action | Who Does It |
| 1 | Clear all outstanding installments and get No Dues Certificate | Seller |
| 2 | Both parties gather their required documents | Seller and Buyer |
| 3 | Visit Faisal Tower office on Main Fateh Jang Road, Rawalpindi | Both parties or authorized representatives with POA |
| 4 | Collect and fill the transfer application form from the sales office | Both parties sign |
| 5 | Submit all documents to the transfer department | Both parties |
| 6 | Pay the applicable transfer fee via Pay Order or Demand Draft | Buyer |
| 7 | Documents verified by the sales office | Faisal Town Group staff |
| 8 | Transfer processed and new allotment letter issued in buyer’s name | Faisal Town Group |
| 9 | Buyer receives updated allotment letter confirming new ownership | Buyer |
Office hours for transfer processing: Monday to Saturday, 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM at Faisal Tower, Faisal Town, Main Fateh Jang Road, N-80, near Tarnol Interchange, Rawalpindi.
Go in the morning if possible transfer processing on the same day is more likely when you arrive early with complete documents. Late afternoon visits may be deferred to the next working day depending on the office workload.
Transfer Fees What You’ll Pay
Transfer fees are one of the most commonly asked-about aspects of the transfer process and one of the least clearly answered anywhere online. Here’s what’s confirmed:
Transfer fees in Faisal Town Phase 2 are charged by the developer at the time of transfer and vary based on plot size. The exact current fee schedule should be confirmed directly with the sales office before your visit since fees can be revised.
| Plot Size | Approximate Transfer Fee | Payment Method |
| 5.56 Marla | Confirm with sales team | Pay Order or Demand Draft Faisal Town (PVT) Ltd |
| 8 Marla | Confirm with sales team | Pay Order or Demand Draft |
| 10.89 Marla | Confirm with sales team | Pay Order or Demand Draft |
| 14.22 Marla | Confirm with sales team | Pay Order or Demand Draft |
| 1 Kanal | Confirm with sales team | Pay Order or Demand Draft |
| 2 Kanal | Confirm with sales team | Pay Order or Demand Draft |
The honest reason exact figures aren’t listed here: transfer fees are set and revised by the developer independently from plot prices, and publishing a figure that has since been updated would mislead buyers preparing their finances. Call 051-111-324-725 or WhatsApp +92 304 4811717 and ask specifically for the current transfer fee for your plot size before preparing your Pay Order.
One important note: Transfer fees are paid by the buyer, not the seller, in most standard resale transactions but this can be negotiated between both parties as part of the sale agreement. Clarify who pays before the transfer visit to avoid confusion at the office.
How Overseas Buyers Can Transfer Without Visiting Pakistan
Overseas buyers and sellers can complete a Faisal Town Phase 2 file or plot transfer without being physically present in Pakistan but the process requires one additional legal document that takes time to prepare. Don’t leave this until the last minute.
The key difference between a booking Power of Attorney and a transfer Power of Attorney is scope. A booking POA covers the initial purchase process. A transfer POA needs to specifically authorize the representative to sign transfer documents, receive the new allotment letter, and complete the handover on your behalf. A general POA that doesn’t explicitly cover these actions may not be accepted by the transfer department.
| Step | Action | Timeline |
| 1 | Draft a Power of Attorney specifically covering file or plot transfer | Before anything else |
| 2 | Get the POA notarized by a local notary in your country | 1–3 days |
| 3 | Get the POA attested by the Pakistani Embassy or High Commission | 1–4 weeks depending on country |
| 4 | Send the attested original POA to your representative in Pakistan | Courier allow 1 week international |
| 5 | Representative gathers all documents including POA original | Before office visit |
| 6 | Representative visits Faisal Tower with complete documents | Same process as in-person transfer |
| 7 | Transfer processed and new allotment letter issued | 1–5 working days |
| 8 | New allotment letter sent to you via courier or scanned copy first | After processing |
Practical notes for overseas transfers:
- The POA must be an original attested document scanned copies or WhatsApp photos of the POA are not accepted for legal transfer purposes
- Your representative must bring their own CNIC copies alongside the POA they’re acting as your legal agent, so their identity needs to be on record
- If both buyer and seller are overseas, both need separate representatives with separate attested POAs one person cannot represent both sides of the same transaction
- Confirm with the sales office beforehand that your specific POA wording is sufficient calling 051-111-324-725 before your representative visits saves a wasted trip if anything needs to be corrected
How Long Does a Transfer Take?
Transfer timeline is one of the most practical questions buyers ask and one that no competitor page answers with any specifics.
| Stage | Typical Time |
| Document preparation and verification | 1–3 days (your side) |
| Embassy POA attestation (overseas only) | 1–4 weeks depending on country |
| Office visit and document submission | Same day |
| Transfer processing by Faisal Town Group | 1–5 working days after submission |
| New allotment letter issued | Within 5–7 working days of complete submission |
| Total timeline (local buyer and seller) | 3–10 working days from document preparation |
| Total timeline (overseas party involved) | 3–6 weeks including POA preparation |
These timelines are estimates based on standard processing. Actual processing time depends on how busy the transfer department is, whether all documents are complete on the first submission, and whether any dues or disputes need to be resolved before the transfer can proceed. Incomplete documents on the first visit reset the timeline which is why arriving with everything in order matters more than arriving quickly.
Common Problems That Delay or Block a Transfer
Most transfer delays come from one of five avoidable situations. Knowing these in advance lets you check each one before your office visit rather than discovering the problem when you’re already there.
| Problem | What Happens | How to Avoid It |
| Outstanding installments | Transfer refused until all dues are cleared including any penalties | Verify payment history on the member portal before visiting |
| Missing original allotment letter | Transfer cannot proceed without the original copies not accepted | Locate the original before the visit; if lost, report to sales office for replacement process |
| Wrong payment method for transfer fee | Cash and personal cheques not accepted Pay Order or DD only | Prepare Pay Order in advance in favour of Faisal Town (PVT) Ltd |
| Disputed or held file | Transfer blocked until dispute is formally resolved | Call 051-111-324-725 to confirm the file has no holds before gathering documents |
| Incomplete POA for overseas transfer | Transfer rejected if POA doesn’t specifically cover transfer actions | Get POA wording reviewed by a lawyer before attestation |
Three situations worth flagging specifically:
Inheritance transfers if the original file holder has passed away, the transfer process requires additional legal documentation including a death certificate, succession certificate, and in some cases a court order. This process takes longer than a standard resale transfer and should be started with legal assistance rather than attempting it directly at the sales office without the right documents.
Joint ownership transfers if a file is registered under two names, both registered owners need to be part of the transfer process. If one is overseas and one is local, both need to either attend in person or provide separate attested POAs covering the transfer.
Resale files with missing payment receipts if you’re buying a resale file and the seller can’t produce all original payment receipts, request a statement of account directly from Faisal Town Group before completing the purchase. This confirms what’s actually been paid and what remains outstanding, protecting you from inheriting an undisclosed dues situation.
