Property Investment Scorecard

A composite score of 75+ indicates a strong investment with good fundamentals across all dimensions. 60-74 is a moderate investment - viable but with specific strengths and weaknesses. Below 60 suggests significant risk or poor value - investigate specific weak areas before proceeding. Remember, the scorecard is a screening tool, not a substitute for due diligence. Always verify RERA registration, conduct site visits, and review legal documents independently.

The developer track record component (within RERA compliance, 20% weight) evaluates: (1) number of previous projects completed on time; (2) average delay across past projects; (3) construction quality complaints or litigation; (4) financial stability (debt levels, funding sources); (5) RERA compliance history across all projects. A developer with 90%+ on-time delivery and no litigation scores high; one with multiple delayed projects scores low, dragging down the overall investment score significantly.

The scorecard is designed primarily for investment analysis, but it's useful for end-users too. If buying to live in, weight location and developer track record more heavily (these affect your daily life and long-term property value). If buying purely for investment, weight rental yield and appreciation potential more heavily. The scorecard allows you to adjust weightings based on your purpose - use it as a comparison tool between multiple properties rather than an absolute verdict.

RealtyIQ updates the underlying market data (locality PSF averages, rental rates, appreciation trends) quarterly, aligned with JLL India's market reports and Kolkata property registration data. Developer track records are updated as new project completions or delays occur. RERA compliance status is synced with the WBRERA portal (rera.wb.gov.in). Always check the "data as of" date on your scorecard report to ensure you're using current benchmarks.
