This page explains how Chennai Home Guide actually researches, sources, and verifies the property information we publish — what we do, what we don’t (yet) do, and how you can tell the difference on any given page.
How We Research
We research residential projects, the builders behind them, and the localities they’re in, using information from official builder materials and websites, publicly available government sources such as the Tamil Nadu RERA portal, and our own editorial research. Where it’s useful, we also use AI tools to help read through source material we’ve gathered and pull out candidate facts — but AI never decides what gets published. Every AI-suggested fact is held internally as a proposal, along with the evidence it was drawn from, until a person on our team reviews it against that evidence and decides whether to accept it. Nothing reaches the public site as a stated fact without that human decision.
Our Source Hierarchy
We record, for individual facts, where the underlying information came from — categorized as builder-provided material, an official source (such as the TN RERA portal or another government record), a site visit, or our own editorial research. As a matter of editorial judgment, we generally treat official records and our own direct research as stronger evidence than builder-provided material alone, though we record and disclose the source either way rather than blend them into one unlabeled fact. In practice, at this early stage most of what we’ve published so far is sourced from builder-provided material — we’re transparent about that rather than implying more independent verification has happened than actually has.
What “Verified” Means
Where a specific fact — such as a price, RERA number, or configuration — carries a “Verified” label, it means that fact had supporting source evidence, confirmed by a person on our team using the sources available at the time. A “Verified” label on one fact does not mean the entire project, builder, or locality page has been verified, does not extend to any other fact on the same page, and does not guarantee the fact remains accurate today — only that it was checked against evidence at some point. Facts without this label are shown as reported, sourced, or currently unavailable, and should be treated with additional caution. This is the same definition used throughout the site — see our Disclaimer for more.
How We Handle Missing or Conflicting Information
We don’t guess, estimate, or fill in a plausible-sounding number where we don’t actually have one — if we don’t have a reliable value for a fact, we show it as unavailable rather than invent one. Where sources genuinely conflict, we use editorial judgment to decide which source we consider more reliable for that fact, rather than averaging or guessing, and we record where the value we chose came from.
Keeping Information Current
We don’t currently run an automatic schedule for re-checking published facts. Information gets updated as we do further research, as builders or other sources publish updates, or as we learn something has changed — including when a reader tells us. Because of this, property details you see here may not reflect the very latest status, especially for fast-changing facts like price, availability, and possession date. Please always independently verify anything that matters to your decision directly with the builder, the official TN RERA portal, or another appropriate authority before you rely on it — see our Disclaimer for more on this.
Editorial Independence & Commercial Relationships
Our research, data, and editorial content are determined solely by our own editorial process and are never influenced by advertising, commercial partnerships, or any business relationship.
Separately from this research platform, Chennai Home Guide may generate property-related enquiries, and its operator(s) may receive compensation through real estate consulting or Channel Partner (CP) relationships in connection with such enquiries, where applicable. This compensation never determines which projects, builders, or localities we cover, how facts are presented, or whether something receives a favourable assessment — those decisions are made solely by our editorial process, independent of any commercial relationship. Simply browsing this website doesn’t make you a client of, or create any brokerage, consulting, agency, or client relationship with, any such service. See our About page and Disclaimer for more on this separation.
