Leasehold to freehold constructed house

This discussion explores the process and expenses involved in converting a 999-year leasehold property, where a house was constructed in 1971, to freehold. The original plot was purchased in 1967, and the property has been inherited by the current owner after the passing of both parents. Advice suggests contacting the KDA (Karachi Development Authority or similar) to ascertain if conversion is permitted and to obtain the necessary forms and fee details. However, a key point raised is that government land on long-term lease typically cannot be converted to freehold, though residual lease rights can be transferred.
