How we check facts
How facts are collected, dated and checked, what our status labels mean, and why some details are shown as not confirmed.
Where facts come from
Each fact on a development page is linked to its source: a developer or agency web page, a brochure (with page number) or a partner feed. We store the exact excerpt, the date we read it and how it was read — by a parsing rule, from a PDF, or located by software and then matched against the document text.
What the labels mean
A starting price ("from") is the lowest advertised figure for a project, not the price of a particular home. Availability is shown only with the date and method of the last check. When sources disagree we do not pick one; the fact is marked for review and shown as not confirmed until an editor resolves it.
Live listings and advertising permits
A specific unit is presented as a live listing only when a licensed agency provides it with a valid Dubai Land Department advertising permit and a marketing mandate. The permit number, its expiry date and the QR code are shown on the listing. Without them we show the development only and offer to request current availability.
Keeping pages current
Prices and availability are re-checked on a schedule. If a source page disappears, the development is marked as needing verification rather than being declared sold. Every published change is recorded, and earlier versions can be restored.
