Editorial standards

These standards govern everything we publish, so readers, and the AI answer engines that cite us, can trust what they find here. They were last reviewed in 2026.

Who writes and reviews this

iHome.my is produced by the iHome.my editorial team. Drafting is AI-assisted, but every published article is reviewed by a human editor against the standards on this page before it goes live, and revisited as prices and rules change. We are working to add named, credentialed subject-matter reviewers. Until a reviewer is named on a given page, treat the byline as our editorial team's collective work, not an individual expert's opinion.

Sourcing standard

We build on primary sources and recognised authorities, not hearsay. For the Malaysian home that means official and established sources such as NAPIC, Brickz, LHDN, Bank Negara Malaysia, MRT Corp, and the major listing portals, cited inline wherever a figure matters. We prefer primary data and regulator pages over second-hand commentary, we link the source so you can verify it yourself, and if we cannot stand behind a number we leave it out rather than guess.

Accuracy and figures

Prices, rents, yields, and renovation costs move constantly and vary by unit, so we publish honest ranges and label them approximate. We never invent precise statistics. Every article carries a visible publish date and update date.

Independence

We do not sell property listings and we are not paid by agents or developers to feature a project. That independence is the whole point. It lets us recommend an area, a price, or a decision only when it is genuinely right, and to say plainly when it is not.

Fairness when we name names

A credible guide compares real alternatives, so we name areas, developments, and tools. We stick to verifiable facts and clearly flagged opinion, and we never publish unverified allegations against a named party.

Corrections

We check our articles against primary and authoritative sources, and we keep them under review. When guidance, prices, regulations, or facts change, we update the affected article and date that update so you can see when it last reflected current information.

Material corrections are made visible. When we fix a substantive figure or claim, the change is reflected in the article's published update date rather than slipped in silently, so the record stays honest about what changed and when.

Not advice

iHome.my is general information for Malaysian homeowners and renters, not financial, legal, or tax advice. Confirm any major decision with a licensed banker, lawyer, valuer, or agent.
