    What is considered 'high-density'?

    Our policy defines high-density as 'complexes with more than 50 units/apartments, or is more than 5 storeys (excluding car parking)'.

    There are a few more details we'll check before we can give you the thumbs up on your property. If you'd prefer to check if your property meets the requirements, you can chat to our team, or you can enter the address on the first page of the application to see if it's eligible for Tic:Toc or if we can better meet your requirements through Tic:Toc + Choice.

    Our system may not always be able to identify a high-density property straight away (especially recently built complexes), but we'll try and give you as much info up front as possible.
