    Can common parts be converted into private property?

    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 1/2/2026
    Article (17) strictly prohibits the conversion of Common Parts into private property without the approval of the DLD and the competent authority. Furthermore, these parts cannot be subdivided or disposed of independently from the units they serve. This applies even if the building is still under construction. This article protects the collective interests of the community by ensuring that shared spaces like lobbies and gardens are not sold off for private gain.
