Looking to invest in property from UK, need honest advice from locals

Salam everyone! I’m based in Birmingham, UK and originally from Kala Gujran. I’ve been saving up and want to invest in property back home — either a residential plot or a small house.

I’ve been getting calls from different agents offering plots in various housing societies around Jhelum, but honestly I don’t know who to trust. When you’re overseas, everyone promises the moon and stars.

What I’m looking for:

• A 5-10 marla residential plot in a decent area
• Budget: Around 25-40 lakh
• Must have proper documentation (registry, not just allotment letter)
• Somewhere with road access and basic utilities

My specific questions:

1. Which areas/societies would you recommend for this budget?
2. Are there any agents or dealers in Jhelum that the community trusts?
3. What should I watch out for? Any common scams?
4. Is it better to buy in a housing society or an established area?

I’d really appreciate honest advice from people who actually live there. I’m planning to visit in June and want to do my homework before I come.

JazakAllah in advance!
