AMMANAT EXPERT OPINION

ICHS Town established in 1989 gives the company a lot credibility. A cooperative society normally deemed as a safe investment. Also, the location of at ICHS Town is very good.

Block A & B have been awarded possession while others are expected to receive possession soon. This is one of the only society which has particularly cleared all legalities. It is the most economical and is located on a ideal spot. All plots booked have a street and plot assigned to you which means you know exactly where your plot is located in the map.

However, given the time, it is taking this society to develop its plots which is over 2 decades. Thus, this is great option for those opting to invest for 3-5 years. We would rank it 7/10, a great option close to Islamabad and very economical but need to be patient with the development.
