The Trust Index for Property Management
Independent trust scoring for property managers based on verified operational performance, accountability, response behaviour, and issue resolution.
Helping tenants, parents, investors, and property managers understand who manages well, who improves, and where operational risk is increasing.
AI-assisted verification, human-reviewed before any scoring impact.
Illustrative example of a complete Trust Index profile. Not a real provider. Pilot listings on this site do not display scores until verified data has been collected and a right of reply has been issued.

Scalable, recurring revenue from subscriptions, licensing, and institutional intelligence - built to scale alongside the property management sector.
Pilot 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
