5 Marla, 10 Marla or 1 Kanal? The Plot-Size Decision, Priced

In Sector B-1 a 5 Marla costs ~PKR 29.5 Lac per marla and a 1 Kanal ~15.8 — an 87% small-plot liquidity premium on the same streets. Why the market prices size this way, and which size fits which job.

By Muhammad Hasnain8 min readVerified 24 August 2026

The market already voted on plot sizes; most buyers just never see the tally. Here it is from our own August-2026 price table: in Sector B-1 — the one sector selling every size — a 5 Marla asks about PKR 29.5 Lac per marla, an 8 Marla ~22 Lac, a 10 Marla ~20 Lac, and a 1 Kanal about PKR 15.8 Lac per marla. The small plot carries an 87% per-marla premium over the big one, on the same streets. That premium is not irrational — it is the price of liquidity. Understanding it is the whole size decision.

Why the market pays more per marla for less plot

  • Buyer depth. Every budget can bid on a 5 Marla; only crore-plus budgets bid on Kanals. More bidders per plot = faster exits at firmer prices. Sector H’s 5 Marla market is the society’s deepest — and prices accordingly.
  • Ticket-size arithmetic. A 45 Lac Sector N 5 Marla is an entry ticket; a 3.5 Cr Sector C Kanal is an allocation decision. The first sells in days when priced right, the second waits for its buyer.
  • Rental efficiency runs the same way: a 5 Marla house rents at 75–90k while an 8 Marla fetches only 95–140k — the extra marlas earn less each, exactly like the rent table shows.

The honest case for each size

SizeBahria Enclave range (Aug 2026)Buy it forAccept
5 Marla45 Lac – 1.60 CrFastest resale, lowest ticket, deepest demand (H, I, N)Highest per-marla price; modest street presence
8 Marla65 Lac – 2.20 CrThe in-between value pocket (G, J at wide bands)Thinner resale pool than 5M — the odd size
10 Marla1.00 – 3.00 CrThe family sweet spot — real house, manageable ticketMiddle of the liquidity curve, middle of everything
1 Kanal2.20 – 4.85 CrCheapest land per marla; the A/C/E address premiumFewest exit buyers; horizon must be years, not months

Match the size to the job

  • First plot ever / flip inside 2 years: 5 Marla in the demand-deep sectors. You are buying the exit, not the land.
  • Family home fund, building in 2–4 years: 10 Marla in the developing belt — M and F/F-1 price it well — or stretch to B-1 for certainty.
  • Value hunter comfortable with an odd size: 8 Marla is where wide asking bands (G: 90 Lac– 1.75 Cr) reward negotiation — precisely because the resale pool is thinner.
  • Land banking, 5+ year horizon: 1 Kanal in A, C or E — you are being paid the per-marla discount to provide the market’s patience. C is also the only address for 2 and 4 Kanal.
  • Torn between two sizes: in this market, two 5 Marlas in different sectors usually beat one 10 Marla — same capital, two exits, two sector bets instead of one. The sector guide pairs them properly.

The per-marla ladder is the negotiation. Sellers quote totals; buyers should think in per-marla terms inside one sector. Ask us for the current ladder in your target sector — it is how we spot the mispriced listing in a page of correctly-priced ones.

FAQs

Quick answers

For speed of exit: 5 Marla in the demand-deep sectors (H, I, N) — the market's most-traded ticket, priced accordingly at up to ~87% more per marla than a Kanal. For patient capital: 1 Kanal in A/C/E, where you're paid a per-marla discount for accepting fewer exit buyers. With capital for one 10 Marla, consider two 5 Marlas in different sectors instead — two exits, two bets.

Liquidity. Every budget can bid on a 5 Marla, so it enjoys the deepest buyer pool and fastest resale — and the market charges for that convenience (B-1: ~29.5 Lac/marla for 5M vs ~15.8 for 1 Kanal, Aug 2026). The Kanal buyer accepts a thinner exit market and is compensated with cheaper land per marla. Neither is mispriced; they are different products.

Maqsad par hai. Jaldi bechna ya pehli investment: 5 Marla (H, I, N me demand sab se gehri, exit sab se tez). Ghar banana hai 2-4 saal me: 10 Marla behtar ghar deta hai aur ticket sambhalne layak rehta hai. Aur agar 10 Marla ka budget hai magar maqsad sirf investment hai — do alag sectors me do 5 Marla aksar zyada samajhdari hai: ek hi paisa, do exit.
