THE METHOD
One framework.
Eight perspectives.
By RAKcompare advisors · Last reviewed
In short: a RAKcompare score is a rating out of 24 for a Ras Al Khaimah property project. It adds up eight category ratings of up to 3 points each: location, views, beach access, amenities, payment plan, value per sq ft, developer track record and construction progress.
Each project is assessed by RAKcompare advisors across the same eight categories. The category ratings add together to create the overall score shown on project pages.
Scores help buyers compare project characteristics quickly. They are a starting point for research, not a substitute for investigating the exact unit, price, fees or purchase terms.

8 criteria × up to 3 points = 24
For example, eight ratings of 3/3 add up to 24/24. A rating of 2.5 in one category would reduce that total to 23.5/24, if all others received 3/3.

Scores are advisor assessments at a point in time and can change. A dash means that category has not been rated.
READING YOUR RESULTS
Useful context, not a promise.
The score is an advisor assessment of the project, not an official government rating or investment recommendation. It does not by itself tell you which individual apartment has the strongest view or whether a purchase is suitable for your finances.
01
Compare like with like. Read the eight component scores, not only the headline total.
02
Check the live project details. Prices, payment plans, handover timing and availability can change.
03
Review the specific unit. Floor level, orientation, layout and service charges can materially change value.
TRANSPARENCY
Who produces the scores?
RAKcompare describes its property ratings as assessments by its advisors. RAKcompare is operated by a real-estate marketing business, and some featured projects have exclusive or direct-developer sales access. Readers should consider this commercial context alongside the category breakdown and official developer documentation.
Scores represent assessments at a point in time. This page documents the published categories and arithmetic; it does not claim a fixed numerical rubric or independent third-party audit that has not been published.
QUESTIONS ANSWERED
Scoring FAQs
What is a RAKcompare score?
It is an advisor-assessed comparison of eight property-project characteristics. Each category is rated out of 3, for a maximum overall score of 24.
Is 24/24 a guaranteed investment return?
No. It is a comparative project assessment, not an investment-return forecast, resale-price prediction or guarantee of rental performance.
Are all project scores directly comparable?
The same eight categories and maximum points are used, but buyers should also compare unit-level prices, views, charges, payment timing and personal requirements.
What are the eight categories in the RAKcompare score?
Location, views, beach access, amenities, payment plan, value per sq ft, developer track record and construction progress. Each is rated up to 3 points.
What is the highest RAKcompare score a project can get?
The maximum is 24 out of 24: eight categories at up to 3 points each. Half points, such as 2.5, are used, so totals can include decimals.
Is the RAKcompare score an official rating?
No. It is an assessment by RAKcompare advisors, not an official government rating, an independent audit or investment advice.
Where can I see a project’s individual ratings?
Open a project page and find the RAKcompare score section. It displays the individual category scores as well as the overall total.
