When purchasing a new home or apartment, confidence in the developer is just as important as the design or location. A recent RealEstate.com.au article highlights the value of the iCIRT rating system — an independent benchmark that helps buyers identify trustworthy, capable developers.
Understanding the iCIRT Rating System
Independent and Rigorous — Managed by Equifax and supported by the NSW Government, iCIRT evaluates developers across a range of measures, including financial stability, capability, conduct, and track record.
The Gold Standard — Developers that achieve three stars or more are recognised as “gold star rated,” signalling a proven ability to deliver high-quality projects.
Buyer Confidence — Especially for off-the-plan purchases, iCIRT offers objective reassurance, giving buyers greater transparency and reducing uncertainty.
TOGA Recognised as a Gold Rated Developer
The article notes that TOGA has been awarded a gold star iCIRT rating. This rating is a testament to TOGA’s long-standing reputation for quality, transparency, and financial strength. It confirms that TOGA meets stringent benchmarks for delivering homes that are well-built and well-managed.
What This Means for Purchasers
An iCIRT gold-star rating is more than just a badge — it represents:
Trust and Transparency — Buyers can feel confident they are dealing with a developer that has undergone independent assessment.
Reduced Risk — A higher likelihood of projects being delivered on time and to a high standard.
Quality Assurance — Assurance that financial capability, regulatory compliance, and building quality have been verified.
Informed Decision-Making — Buyers can compare developers objectively, rather than relying only on marketing materials.
