Method: where each figure comes from and how the fit score works

How the fit score works

  • Each criterion scores 0 to 100.
  • Transport: 100 if the trip is at or under your maximum; it falls in a straight line to 0 at 1.5 times the maximum.
  • Price: 100 at or under your limit; 0 at 1.3 times the limit.
  • Services, Space and Surroundings: the index for each dimension (percentile 0 to 100 within its area). Residents: the % satisfied.
  • A criterion with a limit (Transport and Price) only fits if the figure does not pass your limit; if it does and still scores 60 or more, it is «partly», with its figure. The others fit from 60 and are «partly» from 40. The score is the average of the criteria you gave.
  • If you pick a priority (Price, Transport or Life), that block counts double. In Price and Transport the score is also the average of the fit to your limit and the town's rank among those in its area (the cheapest, or the closest, scores 100): so, between two that fit your limit, the cheaper or closer one wins.
  • A town with no data on a criterion is not scored on it. Nobody pays to rank higher.

The Verithic method

We help you choose the place, so all that's left to think about is the house.

What we do
  1. 01The town

    You answer; the figures do the ranking.

  2. 02The money

    What moving costs before you even have the keys.

  3. 03The agent

    Who can help you in each town.

  4. 04The evidence

    Check any figure yourself.

The first decision is the one with the most money riding on it.

If you pick the wrong town
14%

of the price is gone if you buy a €600,000 home and sell it again for the same price. That covers transfer tax (ITP), notary and land registry fees, and the agent's commission, which we put at 4%.

Transfer tax (ITP) in Catalonia
10%

Up to €600,000. Then 11%, 12% and 13% on the higher bands.
