OpenFrequently asked questions
How does Deal Check decide if a price is fair?
It divides the quoted price by the size to get a price per sqft, then compares that with the price per sqft we track for the area. If the area has a recorded low-to-high price range, a quote inside that range reads as in line with the area. If it doesn't, we use a deliberately wide band of 12% either side of the benchmark (15% for off-plan), because a single blended estimate can't support a tighter verdict.
Is this a property valuation?
No. It is an indicative comparison against area-level figures, not a valuation and not financial advice. It can't see the unit's floor, view, finish, title or condition, which can move a fair price well outside the area range. Use it to decide which questions to ask, and get a formal valuation before committing.
What does the confidence level mean?
It reflects how much the comparison rests on: whether the area figures are official registry data or estimates from public listings, how many listings or deals they are based on, whether a price range is recorded, and how recently the data was compiled. Estimates from listings never score above medium, because asking prices are not achieved sale prices.
Why does paying more lower my rental yield?
Rent is set by the unit (its size, location and quality), not by what you paid for it. Deal Check estimates rent from the area's tracked yield applied to the benchmark value of a unit your size, then divides it by your quoted price. Pay above the benchmark and the same rent is spread over a bigger price, so the yield falls.
Why might a normal asking price read as slightly above the area?
A quote is usually an asking price, while some of our area benchmarks are adjusted down by about 8% toward achieved sale prices (see our methodology). So a quote a few percent above the benchmark is common and is normally where negotiation starts, not a sign of a bad deal on its own.
What is the stress case?
The same net yield with the service charge raised by 15% and the unit empty for 30 days a year. If the deal still works in the stress case, it doesn't depend on everything going right.
