Every project page on this site is built the same way: from the developer’s own documents and the government housing register, with the date it was checked. Here is the method, and the things I will not publish.
1. Start from the developer and the register
Facts about a project come from the developer’s own website, brochure or permit particulars, and from the TEDUH register kept by the housing ministry (KPKT). Property portals are used only for asking prices and rents, and they are labelled as such.
2. Check the advertising permit before a new launch goes up
A project still being sold off-plan is published only if it holds a valid advertising permit. On the page you will find the registered project name, the project code, the permit number and its validity, the price band on the permit, the certified construction progress and the keys date, read from the register. A launch without a permit stays off the site until it has one.
3. Keep different kinds of price apart
- Price on the permit: the band the developer filed with KPKT.
- Developer price: a list or “from” price the developer published, with the month seen.
- Asking price and asking rent: what owners are listing at on portals, not what anyone paid.
- Transacted: recorded sales from official data (NAPIC, via EdgeProp, Brickz or List.my), with the period covered.
4. Leave blanks blank
If no source gives a number, it is not on the page. Where sources disagree, the page says “records differ” and shows both.
5. Photos with permission and credit
Images come from the developer’s own website, from IQI’s project materials (I am an IQI agent), or from free-licence photos with the photographer credited. Images with prices, promotions or watermarks are not used.
6. Separate opinion from fact
“Jason’s take” is my view, written from the facts on that page. Everything else on a project page carries its source.
7. What I will not publish
- Net prices, discounts, rebates or cashback
- Guaranteed rental returns or “zero down payment” claims
- Projects whose developer has asked that its name not be advertised
- Projects still waiting for an advertising permit
8. Date every check, log every correction
Each page states when it was last checked. When a figure changes in a way that matters to a buyer, the change goes on the Updates and corrections page. If you spot a mistake, tell me on WhatsApp.
Frequently asked questions
Where do the permit prices on project pages come from?
From the advertising permit the developer filed with KPKT, as shown in the TEDUH register, or from the permit particulars printed on the developer’s own advertisement. They are the minimum and maximum prices on the permit, not the price you will pay for a particular unit.
Why are some numbers missing from a page?
Because no source published them. If the developer, the register and the records do not give a figure, I leave it out rather than estimate it.
Is Jason’s take a fact or an opinion?
It is my opinion, written from the facts on that page. It is labelled with my name and registration so you can tell it apart from the sourced facts.
How do I report a mistake?
Send me the page and the correction on WhatsApp. If I change a figure that matters to a buyer’s decision, the change is logged on the Updates and corrections page.
How are projects chosen?
Projects are added when buyers ask about them or search for them. If a developer asks me not to advertise its project name, I take the page down.
