Vastu

Pre-purchase checker

Facing, main door, kitchen, bedroom, toilet and the roads around the plot, scored before you commit. Every rule is listed with what it is worth and why — including the ones the property passed, so you can see how thorough the check actually was.

What carries weight, and what does not

Classical vastu treats the main door, the kitchen and the position of water as the heavy items, and the treatment of a plot’s shape and its slope as nearly as important. Almost everything else is adjustable after purchase, which is exactly why a pre-purchase check should weight the things you cannot change once you have signed.

A word about what this is worth

A vastu score is not a survey. It says nothing about the title, the structure, the builder, the water supply or whether the price is fair, and those decide whether a property is a good buy. Treat this as one input among several — and if a score here ever conflicts with a structural engineer, the engineer is right.
