You get the Flat Score
Example. The listing is made up; the checks are the ones every report runs.
Commute to your office
Drive time on real roads to where you work, and how far the nearest metro is.
Is the rent fair?
The asking rent against similar flats in the same locality.
What is within 1 km
Metro, groceries, gyms and hospitals, with the nearest one named.
Red flags
A 10-month deposit, hidden brokerage, or "no bachelors" in the last line.
The lines in an ad we warn you about
We read the whole ad, including the last line most people skip, and tell you what to ask before you go.
“Rent 32k, deposit 10 months”
Deposit is very high
10 times the monthly rent, well above what most Bangalore owners ask. It is usually negotiable.
“Pay 10,000 token advance before visit to block the flat”
Asks for money before a visit
A common rental scam pattern. Never pay anything before you have seen the flat.
“Only for families, no bachelors”
Family only / no bachelors
Skip it if you are moving in alone or with friends.
“Brokerage 1 month rent applicable”
Brokerage applies
Usually 15 to 30 days of rent. Ask about it before you visit.
Check your whole shortlist and see which flat wins
Put 2 to 5 flats side by side: rent against the area, the drive to your office, deposit, metro and red flags, with our pick and the reason for it.

Our pick, and why
One line on which flat comes out on top and what to check before you decide.
Rent against the area
Which flat is fairly priced for its locality, not just which is cheapest.
Your commute, only for you
The drive to your office shows for you and never on a shared link.
Red flags side by side
See at a glance which listing has a catch.
Before you paste a listing
- Is it free?
- Yes. Your first Flat Score is free with no sign-up. Sign up with your email (we send a 6-digit code, no password) and you get 10 more. We never charge brokerage.
- Which sites work?
- NoBroker, Housing.com, MagicBricks, 99acres and most listing pages. Some sites don't let us open their pages; if that happens, copy the text of the ad and paste that instead. For WhatsApp, Telegram or Facebook posts, paste the text.
- Do you share my office or my details?
- No. Your office is used to work out your commute and never shows on a link you share. We don't pass your details to owners or brokers.
- Can I compare the flats on my shortlist?
- Yes. Put 2 to 5 flats side by side and we pick one and say why. Each flat uses one of your free reports; the comparison itself is free. Send the link to the people you are moving with.
- How is the score worked out?
- From four things: rent against similar flats in the same locality, the drive to your office, essentials within 1 km, and red flags in the ad. The report shows how many points each one gave. Where we have few listings for an area, the rent check is marked as an estimate.
