also other useful information such as living costs (food/electricityect.)

**Patgaepx** · 03-19-2012, 09:27 PM

it depends on which type of life standard do u want. what area do u want to live in? how many rooms do u want in it? inshaAllah I can provide u with the info u want.
p.s. if there's a choice, just a personal preferance cos of the unrest in Pakistan which is usually seen in Karachi. Lahore and Islamabad are a better option.

**XarokLasa** · 03-20-2012, 06:46 PM

plus do you know of any relaible and trusted agent in the area?

**ssupermegatone** · 03-20-2012, 07:10 PM

Asalamu Alaikum,

A decent unfurnished flat on rent would be around 10k - 15k PKR per month w/o utility charges and also will require you to deposit around 80k PKR refundable at time of leaving the flat (it might be less depending on the exact location).

In total i would say 35-45k PKR are required including all expenses rent, utilities, food, transport etc for an average middle class life style in Karachi..

Wassalamu Alaikum

Usually u have to deposit 6 months rent in advance or a fix amount 50k to 1 lac.
For buying an apartment, u first decide how much you can afford, cost started from 30 lacs
