5 Marla 75–90k, 10 Marla 135–195k, 1 Kanal ~3.5 lakh monthly. Live Aug-2026 bands, where the tenants actually are, and why a premium-sector build-to-rent grosses ~3.8%, not the 7% you were quoted.
Short answer: Live Aug-2026 rent bands: 5 Marla 75–90k, 10 Marla 135–195k, 1 Kanal ~350k — and the honest yield math (~3.8% gross) no dealer will run for you.
Every “Bahria Enclave rent” search lands on portal listings; none of them tells you what the market actually clears at, or whether the yield justifies building. Here are the asking-rent bands pulled from live listings on 24 August 2026, and — more useful — the yield math nobody runs before pouring 2.5 Crore into a build-to-rent.
| Property | Monthly asking rent | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 5 Marla house | PKR 75,000 – 90,000 | newer units, B-1 and developed belt |
| 8 Marla house | PKR 95,000 – 140,000 | size premium over 5M is modest |
| 10 Marla house | PKR 135,000 – 195,000 | furnished/basement units to 270,000 |
| 1 Kanal house | PKR ~350,000 | thin market — few listings, luxury spec |
| 2-bed apartment (Galleria) | PKR ~40,000 | mall-complex living, small stock |
Compiled from live portal listings, 24 Aug 2026. Asking is not agreed — expect 5–10% negotiation on most units, more on stale listings.
Rental demand tracks development: Sectors H, I, L, M and N (the 80–100%-developed belt) carry most of the inhabited houses and therefore most of the tenant traffic, alongside A, C and B-1 in the finished tier. Sectors K and O are appreciation stories, not rental stories — a landlord there is early, which in rentals means vacant.
Take the standard build-to-rent case: a 5 Marla plot in Sector B-1 at ~PKR 1.45 Cr, built for ~PKR 1.2 Cr — call it PKR 2.65 Cr all-in. At PKR 85,000/month fully let, that is PKR 10.2 Lac a year: a gross yield of ~3.8% — before vacancy, maintenance, and the agent’s month. Published “Islamabad yield” figures range from 4.5% to 6.75% depending on source; a new build in a premium sector sits below that band because the land is expensive relative to rent. The rental case improves where land is cheaper: the same build on an N-sector possession-pocket plot at ~80 Lac lands nearer ~5% gross.
We handle both sides: if you own a completed house in any sector and want it let or sold, or you want a rental-ready house instead of a plot — send the details on WhatsApp. Real comparables, not portal asking prices.
PKR 135,000–195,000 per month for standard units as of August 2026, with furnished or basement-equipped houses asking up to PKR 270,000. Expect 5–10% negotiation off asking. Demand is strongest in the developed belt — Sectors H, I, L, M, N plus the finished A/C/B-1 tier — where the inhabited streets are.
A premium-sector build-to-rent (plot + construction ~PKR 2.65 Cr, rent ~85k/month) grosses ~3.8% a year — below the 4.5–6.75% range published for Islamabad generally, and nearer 2% net after vacancy and maintenance. The case improves on cheaper land (an N-sector build reaches ~5% gross). In this society the land appreciates; the rent mostly pays the bills.
For income now: the house. For total return with no tenant risk: usually the plot. Bahria Enclave rents have not kept pace with premium-sector land prices, so yields on new builds are thin; most pure investors hold plots and let appreciation work. The house wins where you also want the option to live in it later — common for overseas families.
August 2026: 5 Marla ghar 75–90 hazar, 8 Marla 95 hazar–1.4 lakh, 10 Marla 1.35–1.95 lakh (furnished 2.7 lakh tak), 1 Kanal ~3.5 lakh mahana. Sab se zyada demand Sector H, I, L, M, N aur A/C/B-1 me hai jahan abadi mukammal hai. Kiraye par dena ya lena ho — WhatsApp par asli comparables mil jayenge.
