The open standard

A record anyone can check.

Every Syllola record follows a published standard, so your family, your bank or a future buyer can check it for themselves. They never have to take our word for it.

In plain words

When we check a property, we write down everything: what we looked at, who looked, and what they found. The Verified Property Record, or VPR, is the agreed way of writing that down.

Because the format is open, anyone can read a record and confirm it is complete and unchanged. You do not have to trust us. You can check.

What every record holds

Each check in a record answers the same five questions.

  1. What was checkedFor example, the title at the state Lands Registry.
  2. Who checked itA named professional, with their registration number.
  3. Where they lookedThe registry, office or site, and the date.
  4. The evidenceCopies, photographs and receipts, sealed so any later change would show.
  5. What they foundWritten down plainly, including when they found nothing.

How checking works

A record can travel. Whoever receives it can check it on their own.

  1. We write the recordThe record is signed, and each part is sealed so any change would show.
  2. You share itWith family, a lawyer, a bank, or a future buyer.
  3. They check it themselvesA free checker shows whether anything has been altered. No call to us needed.

Six promises built into the standard

These are written into the format itself, so no record can break them.

  1. It describes the property

    A record is about the property itself, so a later buyer or a bank can use it again.

  2. Nothing found is still written down

    If a search comes back empty, or an office would not answer, the record says so.

  3. A real person stands behind each check

    Every finding names the registered professional who made it.

  4. Nothing is quietly changed

    If something needs correcting, the correction is added next to it. Nothing is deleted.

  5. It tells you what was found, not what to do

    The record never says whether to buy. That decision stays with you.

  6. Anyone can check it, even offline

    A free checker confirms a record has not been changed, without contacting us.

What we share, and what we keep

We share the format. The standard, its rules and the checker will be free for anyone to use, under the Apache 2.0 licence.

We keep our working methods. How we size solar systems, work out what is affordable and run our business stays with us.

Published with our first records

The standard and the free checker will go online when we issue our first records. Leave your details and we will tell you when.
