4 Kanal Houses for Sale in Lahore

A 4 kanal house in Lahore sits on 80 marla, about 18,000 sq ft on a 225 sq ft marla or 21,780 sq ft on a 272.25 sq ft marla; in DHA a 4 kanal amalgamated plot's footprint may not exceed 63% of plot area, and houses of 2 kanal or more with over 6,000 sq ft covered can attract Punjab's luxury house tax.

A 4 kanal house in Lahore stands on 80 marla of land: about 18,000 sq ft on a 225 sq ft marla basis, or 21,780 sq ft on a 272.25 sq ft marla basis. These are rare, high-value homes, so the checks on approvals, tax and title matter as much as the house itself.

What 4 kanal means on the ground

Always ask which basis the seller's documents use. A 3,780 sq ft gap on a 4 kanal plot is larger than a 15 marla plot on the society basis.

Where 4 kanal houses are found

Houseplot's indicative price data (Oct 2026) stops at 1 kanal, so there is no sourced price range for 4 kanal houses. Do not scale up 1 kanal prices: large plots trade on location, frontage and redevelopment value, not per-marla averages.

For orientation only, these are the highest 1 kanal house ranges in the data, all in established central, Cantonment-side and DHA areas:

In DHA, a 4 kanal home may be an amalgamation of smaller plots. DHA's 2026 Construction and Development Bylaws cover amalgamated plots and cap the footprint of a 4 kanal amalgamation at 63% of plot area.

Building rules that shape a 4 kanal house

DHA rules (2026 bylaws): - Overall height up to 39 ft from the crown of the front road. - Single-storey basement allowed; basement ceiling 9–14 ft, excavation no deeper than 12 ft below road crown. - Stair mumtee up to 300 sq ft for 1 to 4 kanal plots; lift machine room up to 75 sq ft.

LDA's building regulation amendments propose, for residential plots of 2 kanal and above, 55% maximum ground coverage, FAR of 1:2.2, four storeys excluding basement, and 45 ft height. The same document proposes allowing apartments up to 80 ft on residential plots of 4 kanal and above outside apartment sites.

That last point explains part of a 4 kanal plot's value. ProPakistani reported in December 2022 that LDA's amended bylaws allow buildings of seven or more storeys on 4 kanal plots or larger. Check the zoning of the specific road before paying a premium for redevelopment potential.

Taxes specific to large houses

Punjab's tax on luxury houses, introduced by the Finance Act 2014 and run by the Excise, Taxation and Narcotics Control Department, applies in addition to property tax:

A 4 kanal house with more than 6,000 sq ft covered falls into Category 1. Exemptions include houses completed before 1 January 2001. The department's page carries 2014 payment dates, so confirm current status and dues with Excise before transfer.

Federal and provincial transfer taxes then apply. For tax year 2027, the FBR rate card sets 236K at 1.25% for filer buyers, rising to 18.5% for non-filers above Rs100 million fair market value. Punjab stamp duty is 1%, per The News.

Checks before buying

1. Land area on the title, and which marla basis it uses.
2. For DHA: amalgamation approval and a single allotment for the joined plots.
3. Sanctioned plan and completion certificate matching what is built, including the basement.
4. Luxury house tax and property tax clearance from Excise.
5. Inheritance chain on older houses: every legal heir's consent recorded.
6. Fard and mutation history from PLRA for revenue-record land.
