Token

This is a small amount of money/cheque given in favour of the seller to show your interest with the matching offer. If the seller accepts your offer he will retain the token money and sign the verification form . This is an important step because you need to verify the property before you make a Biana . Verification ensures that the property you are about to purchase is clear from all sort of court proceedings and any other issues. If the plot is cleared, you will go for a Biana followed by DHA Lahore Transfer Procedure. In case the verification is not cleared, you must stop the purchase of the property and demand your token money back from seller. Your dealer will have all the necessary documents for this procedure.
