Letting a room or your flat? Post it free

Three steps, one minute, no broker

You will still visit the flat. Flatscanner makes sure you only visit the ones worth an auto ride across the city.

  1. Step 1

    Paste the listing

    Copy the link from NoBroker or Housing, or paste the text of a WhatsApp forward. If you only have a locality, that works too. Say what you are looking for and where you work, and the score is about you.

  2. Step 2

    We check it

    Drive time to your office, distance to the nearest metro, rent compared with other flats in the same locality, what is within 1 km, and the fine print scanned for red flags.

  3. Step 3

    Share the Flat Score

    One score out of 100 with every reason behind it, on a page you can send to your flatmates or family on WhatsApp. Then decide which flats are worth a visit.

Everything inside a Flat Score

The four things that decide whether a flat works for you, checked against open map data and real listings instead of the broker's word.

Example report. The listing is made up; the checks are the ones every report runs.

  1. Commute to your office

    Real driving time on real roads from the flat to Embassy Tech Village, Manyata, ITPL, Electronic City or any address, plus how far the nearest metro station is.

  2. Is the rent fair?

    The asking rent against the typical range for the same type of flat in the same locality, so you know before you negotiate whether ₹32,000 in HSR Layout is a deal or not.

  3. What is within 1 km

    Metro stations, grocery stores, gyms, hospitals and schools counted from OpenStreetMap, with the nearest one named and its distance, not just the broker saying "everything nearby".

  4. Red flags in the ad

    A 10-month deposit, brokerage hidden in the text, "bachelors not allowed" in the last line, a post that is months old, or a rent too good to be true. We flag it before you call.

Example listing. The photo and details are made up.

  1. Paste your group post

    The one you already sent to the WhatsApp or Facebook group. We read the rent, deposit, rooms, move-in date and house rules, and you fix anything we got wrong.

  2. We check it and send it out

    Your rent against the area, the drive to the nearest tech parks and a free Flat Score, then we send it to people whose room-wanted card it fits.

  3. You choose who gets your number

    People tap "I'm interested" with a line about themselves. You share contacts only with the ones you like. No brokers, no 200 random calls.

Post a room or flat

Looking at flats in Koramangala, HSR Layout or Whitefield?

Pick a locality to check it before you shortlist: how far the metro is, what is within walking distance, and the typical rent for a 1BHK, 2BHK or PG there.

Questions people ask before pasting a listing

Something else? Write to hello@flatscanner.ai. A person replies.

Is Flatscanner free?

Yes. Your first Flat Score is free with no sign-up. After that you sign up with your email (we send a 6-digit code, no password) and get ten more, enough for your whole shortlist. Paid report packs come later; there is no brokerage and we never charge landlords or brokers.

Which websites work?

NoBroker, Housing.com, MagicBricks, 99acres and most other listing pages. For WhatsApp, Telegram or Facebook posts, paste the text itself. If you only know the address or the locality, type that and we will still check the commute, nearby essentials and typical rent.

How do you know the fair rent for a locality?

We compare the asking rent with the rent of other listings of the same type (1BHK, 2BHK, PG, shared room) in the same locality. Where we do not have enough listings yet, the report shows an estimate and says so clearly.

How is the commute calculated?

Driving time on real roads using open map data (OpenStreetMap and OSRM), from the flat to the office you choose. The estimate is for off-peak traffic, so expect more at 9 am on the Outer Ring Road. We also show the distance to the nearest metro station.

What is a Flat Score?

A number out of 100 that adds up four things: rent vs the locality, commute, essentials within 1 km, and red flags. The report shows how many points each one contributed and why, so you can disagree with any part of it.

Can I post a room or my flat here?

Yes, if it is your own place: a room in the flat you live in (you need one or two flatmates), your whole flat if you are moving out, or a flat you own. Paste the post you already shared in the WhatsApp group, add photos, and it is up once you confirm your email. It is free, we do not take posts from brokers, and your phone number is never shown: people tell you they are interested and get your contact only when you say yes.

Which cities do you cover?

Bangalore right now, including Koramangala, HSR Layout, Indiranagar, Whitefield, Bellandur, Marathahalli, Electronic City, BTM Layout and the rest of the city. Other cities will follow once the Bangalore data is solid.
