Who we are
Sightlines is the newsroom of SwipeHomes, an independent Singapore property-technology company. The byline is the Sightlines Desk. No article speaks for, or in the voice of, any individual. Sightlines does not sell property, takes no payment for coverage, and puts no lead forms or agent offers on its articles.
Where the facts come from
- Official sources first: URA, HDB, MND, IRAS, MAS, SLA, CEA, CPF Board, SGX filings and data.gov.sg datasets.
- News reporting is used to find stories and to corroborate them. When a fact rests on a newsroom's reporting, we name that newsroom in the sentence.
- Every number carries a numbered citation that links to the source list at the foot of the article. Rates and rules are stated with who they apply to and the date they were checked.
- Some publications are used only to spot what readers are asking about. We never use their text, analysis, headlines or structure. We research each question independently from primary data.
How AI is used
Sightlines runs an automated editorial engine. It finds stories, researches them from primary sources, drafts articles, and then checks them with a second, independent model and with deterministic rules: citation coverage, figures against the official rules registry, originality against every source, and advertising, privacy and fair-housing compliance. An article that fails a check is repaired or sent to an editor. Nothing publishes without either an editor's approval or a written, time-limited publishing policy signed by the owner. Each article says which applied.
What we will not publish
- Buy, sell or hold calls, target prices, or guarantees of price, rent or return.
- Unit numbers or personal details of private buyers, sellers or tenants.
- “Record” claims without a dataset check or an official source.
- Quotes that do not appear word for word in a primary source.
Corrections
We correct factual errors within two hours of confirming them between 7am and 11pm, with a dated note at the foot of the article. A legal complaint takes the page out of search immediately while we review it. To report an error, email hello@swipehomes.app with the article link.
Not financial advice
Sightlines is general information. Check current rules with IRAS, HDB, CPF Board or your bank, and take professional advice on your own situation before you commit.
