Independent Property Risk Ratings

Ratings, not listings.

In Hong Kong, the information that determines a building's risk — Buildings Department orders, structural deficiencies, management failures, incident records — sits scattered across government databases, media reports and official datasets. FlatCheck consolidates it into one standardised AAA–D risk rating for every private residential building.

Hidden Building Orders

Dangerous-structure orders, unauthorised building works, drainage and inspection notices — statutory records that rarely surface in a listing, yet directly shape a building's risk.

15 Minutes to Decide

One short viewing, then the agent pressures you to sign. No time to check building orders, crime data, fair rent — or even read the Chinese contract.

Critical Data Buried in Chinese

Building quality, fair pricing, and hidden risks sit in 15 government databases — all in Chinese, each with its own format. No expat has time to check them all.

No Standard to Judge Risk

Without a standardised rating, you're making a HK$20,000+/month or multi-million-dollar commitment with no way to compare one building's risk against another.

One Standardised Rating

8 Risk Dimensions. One TARA Rating.

Eight risk dimensions combine into a single standardised TARA Rating (AAA–D) — one methodology, one rating per building, comparable across Hong Kong. Every score is backed by named government sources and specific record counts. No black boxes.

What We Measure

Walking distance to MTR stations, bus stops, minibus stops, and ferry piers. We count unique routes — not just stop count — because a stop served by 15 routes is more useful than 3 stops with 1 route each.

We weight unique routes, not stop count. A building next to one bus stop serving 15 cross-harbour routes scores higher than one near 3 stops with overlapping local routes.

Our Honest Limitations

What FitScore Can't Tell You

We're honest about what we don't measure. Interior condition, neighbour noise levels, future development plans, and personal taste are beyond our data. We show you the data we have — and are upfront about what we don't. No score replaces visiting in person. This is a property risk rating, not a property valuation, and does not substitute for a professional valuation report.
