Furnished House for Rent in Islamabad 2026: Prices, Areas and What to Check

The direct answer: a furnished house for rent in Islamabad costs roughly PKR 85,000 to 135,000 per month for a 2-bedroom apartment in Bahria Town Phase 4, and PKR 140,000 to 360,000 per month for a 10 Marla to 1 Kanal house, depending on the phase and the furnishing quality. Furnished homes usually cost more than unfurnished ones, but you skip the upfront cost of buying furniture, appliances, and curtains. That makes them popular with relocating families, corporate staff, and overseas Pakistanis who want to move in with just a suitcase.

Who Rents a Furnished Home in Islamabad?

Furnished rentals suit people who need a home quickly or for a limited time. The main groups are:

Overseas Pakistanis coming home for a few months or a long summer stay
Corporate employees on project postings or relocation packages
Families waiting for their own house to be built or sold
Business travelers who want more space and privacy than a hotel offers

If you plan to stay less than a year, a furnished home is often cheaper overall once you count the cost of buying and later selling furniture.

Recent listings in Bahria Enclave show a cheaper entry point for apartments. Furnished studios were advertised around PKR 50,000, one-bedroom units near PKR 60,000, and two-bedroom units between PKR 67,000 and 75,000 per month. Unfurnished apartments of similar size were listed noticeably lower, so expect to pay a clear premium for ready-to-live-in space.

Which Area Should You Choose?

Bahria Town Phase 4 and 7 suit families who want secure gated living, good markets, and quick access to schools. This is where most furnished houses are available.

Bahria Town Phase 8 gives the lowest rent for a similar house size, which makes it a good fit for tighter budgets.

DHA Islamabad suits tenants who want newer infrastructure and higher-end finishes, and it carries the highest rents in this comparison.

Bahria Enclave is the best option for short stays or smaller households, as furnished apartments there start at lower monthly rents than houses.

What to Check Before Signing a Furnished Rental

A furnished home brings extra risk because the contents are part of the deal. Go through this list before you pay anything:

Get a written inventory. List every item (beds, sofas, ACs, geysers, kitchen appliances) with its condition, and sign it with the landlord.
Test the appliances. Turn on every AC, geyser, and stove during the visit.
Ask about utilities. Confirm whether electricity, gas, water, and maintenance charges are included or billed separately.
Check the meter setup. A separate electricity meter avoids disputes over shared bills.
Read the agreement. Look for clauses on damage, deposit refunds, and who pays for repairs.
Complete tenant registration with the local police, where required.
Deal with a verified agent or manager so the property and the owner are properly confirmed.

Tips for Getting a Better Deal

Rents are most negotiable on longer leases, so ask for a discount if you commit to 11 or 12 months. Viewing in person, or through a trusted manager if you live abroad, helps you judge the real condition of the furniture. Always compare at least three similar listings in the same phase before agreeing on a price.

Furnished Rentals From a Landlord’s View

If you own a home in Bahria Town or DHA, furnishing it can raise your monthly rent and attract corporate and overseas tenants, who pay more for convenience. The same furnished home can also work as a short-term rental if your community rules allow it. Good-quality, durable furniture and a clear inventory protect your investment and cut down on disputes.
