Our standards
No listing reaches you unvetted.
ResidenceInvest is a shortlist of investment-grade new-build property for buyers who don’t live in the market they’re buying in. Every project is reviewed by our team against a published rubric — and we tell you exactly what each review covered.
What we promise
Three things every listing earns
Vetted
Every project is reviewed against a published rubric — developer history, permits, payment structure — before it appears on the platform.
Comparable
Yields, payment plans, completion dates and visa eligibility are surfaced consistently across every market, so listings can be compared without unit conversion.
Cross-border native
Multi-currency display, residency-by-investment metadata, time-zone-aware contact, and direct routing to the developer or their authorised agency — no middleman, no markup.
Method
Three tiers of vetting, plainly described.
A single “verified” badge is dishonest at the scale we operate. Some projects we know in detail; others we know less. We tell you which is which on every listing.
- Listed
listed
The minimum bar for a project to appear on ResidenceInvest. Admin review confirms the developer exists, the project is on a real plot of land, and there are no obvious red flags. Most cross-border buyers will want more than this — that's why we publish two further tiers.
- Developer record exists and is reachable
- Project information cross-checked against developer materials
- No obvious red flags in admin review
- Verified
verified
Adds developer track record and permit verification. Verified projects are the default we recommend for a serious enquiry — the developer has a delivery history we can show, and the project's permits are documented.
- Developer track record cross-checked (delivered projects, completion history)
- Permits and licences verified against public registers where available
- Payment plan structure documented
- Audited
audited
The highest tier. Reserved for projects where we have on-the-ground confirmation. Few projects will reach this tier — that's the point.
- Escrow arrangement confirmed in writing
- Agency mandate verified against developer
- On-the-ground partner has visited the site
Methodology
How we report yield.
Every yield figure on ResidenceInvest is labelled with its source. We never publish a number without saying where it came from.
Developer projection
The developer’s own published yield expectation. Useful as a signal of intent; treated with caution.
Market comparable
Calculated from local rental indices in the same district. The default for yields you see on Verified listings.
Unavailable
We display — rather than fabricate. Request the investment memo and we’ll bring the source data.
