VastuScan

Buying a home

Buying a flat or house? Check its Vastu before you pay the token

The token amount is the last easy moment to say no. Check the home’s Vastu from its floor plan first: every room graded in 16 directions, the main door to its exact pada, and plainly, anything no remedy can fix. Flats, independent houses, duplexes and villas up to five floors, each floor graded on its own.

Why before the token

Three things a site visit won’t tell you

After the token, walking away costs money

Once the token is paid, a Vastu problem you find later is harder and dearer to act on. Before it, you can still ask for a different unit, or walk away.

“Vastu-compliant” usually means the door

A brochure that says Vastu-compliant often means the main door faces a good direction. It rarely tells you where the toilets, the kitchen and the staircase fall.

Look-alike homes grade differently

Flats on two sides of a corridor, or row houses in the same lane, often use the same plan flipped, and the main door lands in a different pada. Two “identical” homes can grade very differently.

How to do it

From shortlist to signature, in four steps

  1. 1

    Scan the floor plan, free

    Get the floor plan of the exact flat or house, take a photo, and run a Quick Scan. For a duplex or villa, choose the number of floors and upload one plan per floor. Your first scan is free, and the verdict is back in a couple of minutes, often before you have left the site office. How Quick Scan works

  2. 2

    No plan yet? Use the compass on site

    Stand at the centre of the home (or the sample flat), face north with your phone’s compass, and place each room, floor by floor. Compass Check needs no plan at all. How Compass Check works

  3. 3

    Compare your shortlist side by side

    Scan two or three homes and put them next to each other: scores, verdicts, and what each one gets right and wrong.

  4. 4

    Get the Full Report on the one you choose

    Before you sign, the Full Report grades every room across 16 directions, summed up in 8 zones, reads the main door to its exact pada, checks the classical defects, and ranks the remedies with what they cost.

Why VastuScan

Built for the days you are deciding

Answers while you are still deciding

A Quick Scan takes a couple of minutes, any day, at any hour, with no appointment. Builders often push to close the sale early; this lets you check before you are rushed into signing.

The same rules for every home

Every home is measured and graded by the same published rules, so when you compare three homes, the difference in score is the difference in the homes.

A good start for your consultant, too

Experienced Vastu consultants are in demand, and the good ones are often booked weeks ahead. Your report gives them the plan reading, north and the grades in one place, so their visit can go straight to what matters.

Questions buyers ask

Before you sign

Can I use the brochure or builder’s floor plan?

Use the plan of the exact home if you can get it. A brochure often shows a typical floor or a mirror image of your flat, which swaps where the rooms fall. If the brochure is all you have, check on site that rooms are on the same side as on the plan.

Does it work for an independent house, duplex or villa?

Yes. Floor-plan scans handle up to five floors and Compass Check up to four; each floor is graded on its own. The rules also look at what sits above and below: a toilet directly above or below the puja room or the kitchen is one of the Critical defects.

The report says Caution. Should I still buy?

Caution means there are real problems, but remedies help. Look at the score after remedies and what those remedies involve. Many are about where the stove, the bed or storage go, and cost little or nothing.

The report says Avoid. What does that mean?

Usually a Critical defect, such as a toilet or kitchen in the north-east, a staircase at the centre, or a main door in the south-west padas. Our rules have no remedy for these short of construction, and a single one caps the home at 40. Look at another unit or another home before you pay.

Does VastuScan replace a Vastu consultant?

No. It gives you a clear first reading quickly, from the plan or on site. For a decision as big as a home, many buyers also consult an experienced Vastu expert, and the report gives that conversation a head start. It also helps when advice doesn’t quite add up: every grade in the report comes from a published rule you can read, so you can always ask why, and judge the answer for yourself.
