100 more projects added in 15 countries of the Americas and Asia-Pacific: the USA (Miami, Austin), Thailand, Indonesia (Bali), Vietnam, Malaysia, Brazil (Balneário Camboriú), the Philippines, Cambodia, Japan, Australia, Canada, Uruguay, Paraguay, Costa Rica and the Dominican Republic (1,595 tracked in total): 97 have a delivery or completion date as published, every fact links to the page it came from, and none is reviewed or scored yet
Project pages now show what changed since the last check, the total cost of buying with each country's taxes and fees and their sources, the official permit register of the market, alternatives in the same place with a similar price and a higher transparency score, website domain age and the place's delay index; developer pages compare promised and actual handover dates; new pages in 8 languages list projects by handover year and place, by neighbourhood, and 500 side-by-side comparisons
101 more projects added in 18 countries of Europe, the Middle East and Africa (1,495 tracked in total): UAE 28 (DAMAC and Binghatti), France 27, Poland 12, Zanzibar 9, Spain 5, Malta 4, two each in Portugal, Cyprus, Albania and Saudi Arabia, and one each in Italy, Greece, Croatia, Morocco, Egypt, Oman, Montenegro and Kenya. 75 have a handover date as published and 45 a map pin; every fact has a source link and none is reviewed or scored yet. They appear in the transparency rankings of their place automatically
Search and answer engines: Kolaboro in numbers (/numbers/, 8 languages) with citable figures, each with its source and date; llms.txt in every language and one per country with every named project and its quick answer; 93 more indexable pages and the share images of our pages in the sitemaps; a daily check of structured data, broken links and redirects; AI crawler visits per day on /engineering/; translated header and footer on not-found pages; and place pages that group the projects with little published so far
New public pages: /progress/ with daily counters (projects, markets, countries, sources, sitemap URLs, deploys) and a chart of projects added per day since the start; the 300 improvements we are working on, with their status; press figures for each island and city we rank; our moderation policy; and a team and method page with its review date
Easier to use: every project page ends with a clear next step (compare with similar projects, save to My projects, alert me if the date or price changes, ask the developer, share by WhatsApp or link); /projects/ can be filtered by country, place, handover year, permit and transparency score and sorted; compare two or three named projects side by side; the phone menu starts with search; /status/ checks 20 key pages every 5 minutes and after every deploy
Translation sweep in 8 languages: handover dates written in words ("October 2027", "Q1 2027", "mid-2028", "1er semestre 2027") and country names now appear in the page language on project pages, developer pages, rankings and answers, with the original wording quoted once; this bar and the dataset descriptions follow the page language too, and long project names now fit in search titles
Broken links fixed: market pages now link straight to each project page instead of through a redirect, old project file addresses (/p/<id>/ followed by any text, and /<language>/p/<id>/) go to the project's page in the same language, a few old paths go to the page that replaced them, junk addresses answer 410 Gone, and the page-not-found page now has a project search and links to projects, transparency rankings and tools in 8 languages
50 more projects added in 12 countries of the Americas and Asia-Pacific: Malaysia, Japan, the USA, the Philippines, Australia, Vietnam, Canada, Brazil, Sri Lanka, Mexico, the Dominican Republic and Colombia (1,394 tracked in total): 32 have a handover or completion date as the developer publishes it, 14 (in Malaysia) carry the developer licence and advertising permit numbers the developer prints on its permits page, and 20 have a map pin from the developer's own map data or address; every fact has a source link and none is reviewed or scored yet
50 more projects added in 15 countries of Europe, the Middle East and Africa (1,344 tracked in total): France 14, Poland 9, UAE 8, Turkey 4, Northern Cyprus 3, Georgia 2, Mauritius 2, and one each in Greece, the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Kenya, Egypt and Saudi Arabia. 40 have a handover date as the developer publishes it and 30 have a map pin from the developer's own page; every fact has a source link and none is reviewed or scored yet. They appear in the transparency rankings of their place automatically
Every named project page now opens with a quick answer (developer, place, handover date as published, permit published or not, transparency score and rank, last checked) and answers by question: when it will be completed, how much it costs, who the developer is, what we could check and where it is, with sources, plus six related projects.
Transparency rankings for 30 islands and 30 cities: every tracked off-plan project scored 0 to 100 on what is published and checkable (legal name, permit, handover date and its record, deposit protection, location, website, official lists), with the method and weights public, a source on every line, a right of reply on every row and the full analysis by email on request; Sumba is ranked with a disclosure, and the founder's own project there is excluded
27 more projects added in 11 countries of the Americas and Asia-Pacific, filling markets the previous batch left empty: the Dominican Republic, Panama, Mexico, Belize, the Bahamas, Vietnam, Indonesia and Fiji, plus Texas, New York, California, Colombia and Sri Lanka (1,294 tracked in total): 13 have a handover date as the developer publishes it and 9 have a map pin from the developer's own map, page data or address; every fact has a source link and none is reviewed or scored yet
Error sweep after the 11 November release: market pages no longer jump while they load (layout shift 1.5 to 0), the sealed X-ray page holds its place too, stale totals removed from the French and Russian home pages and the database page in 8 languages, one airport route that ran on an airfield service road taken out of the distance check, the Berlin short-let rule linked to the official page that is online, 26 broken links on translated pages repaired (payment email check, market pages, booking), the verify page now says its file list is weekly, singular forms in the bulk check, and the deploy guard's browser set-up repaired
33 more projects added in 11 countries across the Americas and Asia-Pacific, from Canada, the USA, Brazil and Colombia to Japan, Malaysia, the Philippines, Australia and New Zealand (1,267 tracked in total): 25 have a handover date as the developer publishes it and 12 have a map pin from the developer's own map or address; every fact has a source link and none is reviewed or scored yet
60 more projects added in 17 countries across Europe, the Middle East and Africa, from France, Germany and Spain to the UAE, Oman, Egypt, Kenya and South Africa (1,234 tracked in total): 43 have a handover date as the developer publishes it and 25 have a map pin from the developer's own map or address; every fact has a source link and none is reviewed or scored yet
Developer pages now list official gazette notices about the developer's company when it is identified by its exact legal name: Spain's BORME (every daily issue of the last 12 months), France's BODACC (by SIREN number) and The Gazette in the UK, with notice type, date and link; no names of people are copied
Around the site: project pages with a reliable pin now show the nearest sea, beach, airport, runway end, hospital, school, supermarket and transport stop from OpenStreetMap, and the yearly PM2.5 and NO2 of the Copernicus atmosphere model
Distance claims check: distances and travel times stated on the project page we track are quoted from our sealed copy next to the straight-line and road distance measured from the pin
Climate at the plot: hot days, warm nights, yearly rain and heavy-rain days for 1995 to 2014 against 2040 to 2059, with the range across climate models (World Bank CMIP6 data)
39 developer pages of listed companies now show the exchange, the ticker and a link to the official filings, with the latest annual report date for those filing with the US SEC. No share prices, no advice
Stricter script rules on every page: a script runs only when our own page loaded it, so injected code is blocked by the browser; tested first on 271 pages, every tool, the portal and the admin
50 more projects added in 21 countries, from the UAE, Spain and the UK to Australia, Malaysia and Greece (1,174 tracked in total): each has its developer page, the handover date as published or "not published", and a source link for every fact; none is reviewed or scored yet
Can you legally short-let there? Project pages and a new guide show licence or registration, caps and zones, night limits and building rules for 23 places, each linked to the official source and its date
Developer pages now compare the company name with official regulator warning lists of unauthorised firms (FCA, AMF, MAS, SFC, FINMA, Central Bank of Ireland, SEC) and show a no-match result with each list's date; possible matches go to a private review and are never published
Accessibility pass on 271 pages with an automated checker: charts and status strips are announced correctly, sideways-scrolling boxes work from the keyboard, small links are easier to tap; Russian pages use the right word form after numbers; project links open the project page directly
Project pages now say where the developer's own schedule puts the project today, and the promised dates download as a calendar file (.ics) or a subscription that updates when a date moves; the portal exports your payment schedule the same way
Bulk check for agents and lenders: paste or upload up to 100 project names, developer names or links and your browser matches them against our public index (handover date on record, moved dates, permit number, website health, lookalike websites), with CSV export; nothing is uploaded
The sealed X-ray page now reads in 8 languages (the language it was run in, or the one you pick); the sealed data, its fingerprint and the in-browser verification are unchanged
Full working test of the site (checks, tools, accounts, feeds, API): a saved X-ray now shows in your dashboard, project pages have a Save to my list button again, and the update feed is current
Security hardening: pages now refuse inline script handlers, links built from third-party data cannot run scripts, the map and text-reading libraries are pinned with integrity hashes, and payment-check lookups are rate limited
Speed: the browser no longer restyles the whole page after every small change, project and developer pages are answered from an edge copy before any data is read, sections far from the screen are drawn as you get near them, and the open numbers page keeps its figures for a minute
Lookalike websites: a daily watch for new websites whose names resemble the developer and project websites we track, with registration and certificate dates, on developer pages and at /watch/lookalikes/
Sanctions lists: developer company names are screened daily against the entity entries of the OFAC, UK and UN lists; developer pages show the lists and date when there is no match
Corporate family on developer pages: parents and subsidiaries from the GLEIF register (CC0) for 39 developers matched by exact legal name, and a new family link type in the developer graph
Two Birmingham project pins corrected (they sat one degree too far north); their map-based sections stay hidden until the next monthly rebuild uses the new pins
Protected land near the pin on 125 project pages: Natura 2000 sites within 2 km, England green belt and other designations, the Spanish coast law easements and mapped nature reserves, with distances and layer dates
The map's own history at each plot: when the buildings, roads and land use within 150 m were first drawn in OpenStreetMap and last changed, as a small timeline on 125 project pages
Site check on 560 page views and 3,078 links: the two account checks merged into one, clearer tool descriptions and jump links, a country search, an accessible pricing table and a tidier free check on phones
Short-let reality check on 28 project pages: Inside Airbnb listings within 1 km, median nightly price and their occupancy estimate, next to any rental yield the page we track prints
Recorded sale prices within 1 km on 14 project pages: HM Land Registry (England), DVF (France) and NYC rolling sales, medians and price per m2 next to the developer's own headline price
Project and developer pages are easier to read: identical price copies merged into one row, the overdue date sits next to the date it is about, correct singular wording, Arabic names no longer flip punctuation, and the website-health method is translated
