Claim type 4 of 10
Walking distance
“Walking distance” has no number in it. It can mean three minutes or twenty.
“Walking distance to the station”
What it usually measures
Usually the distance from the site boundary to the nearest point of the station, not to an entrance you can use.
What it leaves out
- The gate you would actually walk out of, which may face the wrong road.
- Footpath conditions, road crossings and foot overbridges along the way.
- The walk inside the station from the entrance to the platform.
Questions to ask
- How many metres from the gate to the nearest usable station entrance?
- Is there a continuous footpath and a safe crossing?
Check it yourself
- Walk it with a timer from your tower to the platform, at your hour, with whatever you would normally carry.
How Claim Check handles it
Claim Check measures the walking route from the selected gate to the nearest open station entrance, then adds the walk to the platform where we have field measured it.
Try Claim CheckIs a “walking distance” claim wrong?
Not necessarily. Most claims are real measurements under particular conditions. The point is to find out which conditions, and whether they are yours.
Will you tell me which projects use this claim?
No. We never name or rank projects, developers, brokers or portals. Claim Check results are private to the person who runs them.
