How We Collect & Verify Property Data
Transparency is the bedrock of trusted real estate decisions. Learn how our research team gathers, filters, audits, and maintains real estate data and local business listings across DHA Phase 6 Lahore.
1. Multi-Channel Source Handling
Rather than relying on unmoderated classified ads where bait-and-switch pricing is common, our platform aggregates real estate data through authenticated, professional channels:
Registered DHA Realtors
Direct daily feeds from verified real estate agencies holding registered DHA Lahore membership numbers.
Direct Owner Filings
Property owners submitting title allocation letters for independent price indexing and marketing.
Bank Valuation Benchmarks
Quarterly reviews of institutional mortgage valuation tables and appraisal benchmarks conducted by accredited surveyors.
2. Three-Step Verification Protocol
Every property record uploaded to our database passes through our proprietary verification filter:
- Plot & Location Cross-Check: The plot number is cross-referenced against the master DHA Phase 6 zoning blueprint to ensure correct sector assignment, street width, and absence of utility easement conflicts.
- Price Sanity Audit: Asking demands that fall suspiciously below or drastically above prevailing market rates (by more than 25%) are flagged for manual review to prevent market manipulation.
- Availability Confirmation: Our desk contacts the listing agent or owner every 14 days to confirm whether the property remains actively for sale or has been transferred.
3. Image Integrity & Architectural Verification
Fake images and misleading 3D renders distort buyer expectations. We enforce strict image guidelines:
- No Stolen Renders: Listings claiming to be "ready brand-new houses" must feature actual site photographs of the exterior facade, interior wood finish, and sanitary installations.
- Timestamp Verification: Ground photographs must be current to depict actual construction completion rather than progress photos from previous years.
- High-Resolution Standards: All property imagery is optimized and web-delivered to ensure clear examination of fixtures and elevation.
4. Local Business & Facility Data Survey (790+ Places)
Our directory of schools, hospitals, restaurants, mosques, and parks is maintained through physical on-ground surveys and Google Places API synchronization:
- Physical Street Audits: Verification that listed businesses actively operate in CCA 1, CCA 2, Main Boulevard, or residential sectors.
- Operational Hours & Helplines: Periodic calls to medical emergency centers, bank branches, and schools to confirm working telephone lines and operating hours.
- Precise Coordinates: High-precision GPS tagging ensuring accurate Google Maps navigation.
