Our method

Every claim on this site is explainable

We publish the checks, the weights and the arithmetic. If we cannot explain a number, we do not show it.

The sixteen checks

A verification executive works through these in order. Each one is recorded individually with evidence and a date, and the badges on a listing are derived from which passed — nobody can type “fully verified” by hand.

  1. 1

    Address confirmed on map

    The plot, not the colony.

  2. 2

    Owner or agent identity

    Who is selling, and are they who they say.

  3. 3

    Authorisation to list

    Written proof they may sell this floor.

  4. 4

    Site photographs match

    The images are of this floor, on a known date.

  5. 5

    Floor location

    Which level of the building this actually is.

  6. 6

    Plot size

    Measured against the record, not the brochure.

  7. 7

    Built-up area

    Checked on site.

  8. 8

    Parking arrangement

    Assigned or shared, stilt or open, how many.

  9. 9

    Lift and accessibility

    Present, working, serving this floor.

  10. 10

    Ownership rights claimed

    Terrace, roof, basement, driveway, entry.

  11. 11

    Registry and title

    Chain of title read by our team.

  12. 12

    Sanctioned plan

    Compared against what stands.

  13. 13

    Utility meters

    Separate electricity and water, in whose name.

  14. 14

    Occupancy or completion records

    Where the authority issues them.

  15. 15

    Loan eligibility

    Confirmed with at least one lender.

  16. 16

    Price confirmed with seller

    So the number on screen is the number they will take.

Floor Intelligence Score

One hundred points across eight components. The weights below are published deliberately — you should be able to disagree with them.

Location

20 points

Metro reach, everyday amenities, and where the locality sits in its city by price.

Plot and road

10 points

Road width, corner position, park frontage, plot size.

Construction

15 points

Age, structure type, condition, finishes, completion certificate.

Privacy

10 points

Separate entry, units per floor, building density, independent connections.

Parking

10 points

Covered slots first, then open, then driveway rights.

Light and ventilation

10 points

Floor level, facing, open aspect, balconies.

Legal readiness

15 points

Tenure, registry, sanctioned plan, documents checked, loan eligibility.

Price value

10 points

Read directly off the price confidence band.

Price confidence

How it is built

  1. 1. Find comparable floors — same locality, same intent, similar size and configuration, listed within twelve months. Same block first.
  2. 2. Take the median price per square foot of that set.
  3. 3. Adjust it for this specific floor: level, terrace rights on the top floor, lift, covered parking, corner, park frontage, road width, age, condition, tenure and registry status.
  4. 4. Compare the asking price against that adjusted expectation.

The four outcomes

  • Below estimated market

    More than 8% under the adjusted expectation.

  • Fairly priced

    Within 8% either way.

  • Above locality range

    More than 8% over.

  • Insufficient data

    Fewer than three comparable floors. We say so.

None of this is a valuation. Asking prices are not transaction prices, and a thin comparable set can be wrong in either direction. Commission an independent valuation and an independent title search before you commit money.

Frequently asked questions

Why five verification labels instead of one badge?

Because one badge is a lie by omission. A listing where we have confirmed the owner's identity but never seen the registry is not the same as one we have inspected on site with the title read. Naming each check lets you decide what you need before you spend a Saturday on a site visit.

Does a high Floor Intelligence Score mean I should buy?

No. It means the recorded facts about that floor score well against our weighting. If you do not care about privacy and care enormously about parking, our weighting is wrong for you — which is why every component is published with its reasons, so you can reweight it yourself.

Is the price confidence band a valuation?

No, and we will not present it as one. It compares an asking price against genuinely comparable floors nearby, adjusted for floor level, lift, parking, corner position, park frontage, road width, age and tenure. Below three comparable floors we report insufficient data rather than guessing.

What happens if a listing turns out to be wrong?

Report it from the listing page. We verify within 24 hours and either correct the record or take the listing down. Repeated bad listings cost an agent or builder their ability to list with us.

How fresh is the inventory?

Every listing carries the date its availability was last confirmed with the seller, shown on the card. Listings that go unconfirmed are demoted in search and eventually expire.
