Loading...Illegal occupation of Pakistani property is one of the most common and damaging problems facing overseas Pakistani families. Our dedicated specialist team has an 85%+ success rate in recovering occupied properties through decisive, official legal action — without you needing to travel.
Encroachment (قبضہ) is the unlawful occupation or seizure of land or property in Pakistan. It occurs when individuals — often organised criminal groups, influential local figures, or even neighbours — physically occupy property that officially belongs to someone else, knowing that the actual owner is abroad and unable to defend it.
Overseas Pakistanis are disproportionately targeted because absentee ownership creates an opportunity. Without family or trusted representatives on the ground, UK-based owners often don't discover the occupation until years have passed — making recovery significantly harder.
Encroachment can take many forms: construction of unauthorized structures on your land, occupation of a house or flat, fraudulent transfer of ownership documents, encroachment from neighbouring properties, or interference with agricultural land records (Girdawari).
Pakistan's official system does provide strong remedies for rightful property owners — civil protection orders, occupancy recovery orders, official registry entries — but navigating them from the UK requires experienced professional representation on the ground. That is exactly what we provide.

Case Study — Anonymised
Client: A family from Birmingham. The late father had purchased a 10-marla plot in a residential area of Lahore in the 1990s. Following his passing, the family discovered that a neighbour had constructed a boundary wall on approximately 3 marla of their land and was refusing to vacate.
The Problem: The occupation had been ongoing for years. Local relatives had attempted informal resolution but failed. The family had no idea where their original documents were and feared a costly, drawn-out official battle from thousands of miles away.
What We Did: Our team located the original Fard and Registry from the land revenue office, collected geotagged photographic evidence and surveying data, and formally served a legal notice. When this was ignored, we filed an urgent application for an occupancy recovery order on the family’s behalf.
The Outcome: The registry authority granted the recovery order. The neighbour’s illegal wall was demolished under local authority supervision and the full 10-marla plot was restored to the family. The family flew from Birmingham only to receive the handover — the first time they had set foot on the property in years.
Encroachment cases become significantly harder to win the longer they are left. Occupants entrench themselves, create false documentation, and establish claims of "unauthorized ownership claims" over time. Registry Authorities also look less favourably on claimants who waited years to act.
