Introduction
In this article, you will find detailed guidance to help you understand the Amenities section of your Property Advisor dossier.
Amenities and so-called POIs (Points of Interest) have an impact on the value of a property. In the Amenities section, the most important factors—such as proximity to educational institutions, retail stores, restaurants, and others—are assessed. Using the rating scale from 1 to 5, you can evaluate the advantages of the property’s location and its influence on market value.

1. Understand the importance of the “Amenities” section
The Amenities section takes into account POIs (Points of Interest) within a 5 km radius around the property. The rating scale therefore reflects the density of available services in the surrounding area.
This section provides you with additional information about the property’s environment, especially if you are unable to visit the location in person. Among other things, it allows you to tailor your reports to the profile of a potential buyer.
A “good location” is highly individual—while families with children may prioritize proximity to schools and sports facilities, other buyers may place more importance on healthcare services or a quiet setting with fewer surrounding amenities.
The following factors are analyzed in this section:
Shopping (Retail)
Education (Schools, Nurseries, Universities)
Gastronomy (Restaurants, cafés)
Healthcare (Hospitals, Clinics, Medical practices)
Leisure (Sports facilities, Playgrounds)
⚠️ Note: Distances to individual services are displayed as straight-line distances, not walking distances (unlike Google Maps).
2. Explore and customize the display of individual factors
On the left-hand side of the platform, you will find the list of service providers by category.
With the Show on map option, you can toggle each service on or off on the map displayed on the right-hand side.
You can also deactivate the different types of services by clicking on the respective field. In that case, the list will display the first 5 POIs of the other types, along with additional ones shown on the map.
3. Adjust the scores
You can adjust the rating of individual scores to better match the buyer profile or to more accurately reflect the reality.
For example, if a property is located in a very remote rural area, its rating may be low, but this could be considered normal or even good for that specific environment. Therefore, you have the option to manually adjust the rating scale.
Step 1:
Click on “Edit scores.”
Step 2:
Manually select a value between 1 and 5.Step 3:
Save the value by clicking “Save changes.”
The original score is always displayed in the tool. If you wish to restore the original rating, you will need to manually re-enter the value.
