How Lewis reads this score
The score is not a decoration. Each factor points to what must be verified before booking.
| Factor | Score | Why it matters | What to verify next |
|---|---|---|---|
| Relative Value | 6.2/10 | Whether the entry price is justified by location quality, rental support, supply risk control and resale audience. | Compare price against location quality, rent support, supply risk and resale audience before treating it as a good deal. |
| Location Score | 6.4/10 | Area strength, amenity depth, maturity and daily convenience. | Check daily route, surrounding amenities, road access and actual neighbourhood feel. |
| Rental Demand | 6.1/10 | Tenant depth from jobs, lifestyle, education, medical, rail and city demand. | Compare current PropertyGuru, iProperty and SPEEDHOME rental listings before relying on the estimate. |
| Accessibility | 6.0/10 | Rail, road, commute and practical access signals from public information and maps. | Verify Google Maps or Waze travel time during peak hour, not only brochure distance. |
| Future Growth | 6.6/10 | Infrastructure, commercial development, township maturity and growth catalysts. | Check MRT Corp, DBKL, developer masterplans and latest area development news. |
| Supply Risk Control | 7.7/10 | Higher score means healthier control against nearby competing supply. | Compare nearby launches, completed stock, rental competition and density before booking. |
| Liquidity | 6.5/10 | Estimated resale audience depth and ability to exit later. | Check Brickz, EdgeProp and comparable resale supply so the exit audience is realistic. |

Best Units To Ask First
Ask first for 2-bedroom or practical dual-key options if available with efficient usable space.
For rental, compare smallest practical layout against maintenance fee and furnishing budget.
For own stay, prioritise quieter facing, parking convenience and future family needs over the cheapest unit only.
Unit Stack / Facing Guide
Ask for available stack, floor level, facing, afternoon sun exposure and nearby road/noise direction.
For George Town, compare convenience against privacy, view and traffic movement before choosing a unit.
Shortlist at least two layouts so you have a backup if the preferred stack is taken.
