Govt Officers Cooperative Housing Society (GOCHS) is a cooperative housing development managed by Government Officers Cooperative Housing Society Limited. Located on Raiwind Road about 20 km from Lahore, it is positioned as one of the most affordable housing schemes in the area. The society offers primarily 1-kanal residential plots with ongoing infrastructure development, boosted by recent road expansion projects that are increasing property values.

The society continues to have an active real estate market, with property dealers advertising plots for sale. Recent listings from March 2026 show 1-kanal plots priced between PKR 55 lakh and PKR 85 lakh, and 2-kanal plots between PKR 1.1 crore and PKR 1.6 crore. An earlier video from July 2025 also advertised 1-kanal plots in a similar price bracket of PKR 40 to 80 lakh, indicating sustained market activity. The society is promoted as having LDA approval and development work in progress, particularly in Blocks A and B.
In a significant policy move reported in January 2026, the Punjab government has intervened to help individual members of cooperative housing societies register conveyance deeds for their properties. The policy addresses delays by managing committees and caps administrative charges. If a society's committee does not act on a member's application within 10 days, the Deputy Registrar Cooperative Societies is now authorized to execute the deed on the society's behalf. This aims to protect members' rights within a time-bound concessional stamp duty scheme.
The Lahore Development Authority (LDA) has been conducting enforcement drives against illegal commercial constructions and housing schemes. In an October 2025 operation, LDA teams sealed 85 illegal properties across various housing schemes, including the Punjab Government Employees Cooperative Housing Society. However, the Government Officers Cooperative Housing Society was not mentioned among the violators in this or a separate December 2025 report on crackdowns near Raiwind Road. This suggests the society remains operational under LDA oversight without recent major violations.
The Government Officers Cooperative Housing Society (C & D Sector) is confirmed as an LDA-approved housing scheme in updated online guides and listings. It is listed with an approval date of 2005 and an area of 1582.82 kanals. The society's map and location on Raiwind Road are also available online, confirming its established status among Lahore's authorized residential developments.
Budget-friendly plot prices, described as one of the cheapest housing societies in Lahore, with prices ranging from PKR 38 lakh to PKR 65 lakh for a kanal.
Good price appreciation, especially after recent road-expansion projects along Raiwind Road.
Limited communication from the society's management committee, slow response to problems, alleged involvement in encroachments, and lack of timely resolutions for disputes.
Chronic water-logging during monsoon season, with low-lying areas turning into 'swimming pools' and stagnant water remaining for days, emitting a persistent odor.
