What PropTrust Index is
- An evidence-based property management trust and accountability index.
- Built for student accommodation providers and residential property funds.
- Verified operational scoring, response behaviour, and resolution tracking.

Real homes. Real residents. Real accountability.
Behind every score is a building, a tenant, and a fund responsible for how well it's run.
Verified, reviewed, and accountable
Every submission requires evidence. Nothing affects scoring until reviewed.
Models classify and assess. Humans verify and decide.
Property funds are notified and may respond before any score impact.
Public profiles show category-level patterns, never raw complaints.

See public profilesPilot Coverage Providers
Prop Trust Index is currently conducting a Johannesburg and Pretoria pilot focused on student accommodation and residential property management. Provider profiles are displayed for market mapping and platform testing purposes. Trust Index scores will only be published once verified data has been collected and the provider has had an opportunity to participate in the right-of-reply process.
Built to Scale
PropTrust Index combines public trust scoring with subscription-based operational intelligence tools, creating scalable recurring revenue while improving transparency in property management.
How scoring works
The Trust Index is a weighted accountability model. Verified, human-reviewed issues reduce the score; verified resolutions restore deductions. Scores are only published once a provider has been moved from a Pilot Directory Listing to an Active Trust Index Profile.
- Minor / moderate verified issue−1 to −3
- Serious verified issue−5
- Safety / security serious−8
- No response within 7 days−2
