  "Older freehold buildings with no DLD project in the records (International City, Discovery Gardens, The Greens, parts of Business Bay and others) appear only under their transaction building name: no registry stock and no rent.",
  "The units registry includes off-plan units registered before completion, so stock and turnover in projects under construction count units that are not built yet.",
  "Bedrooms come from the DLD record; sales and units without a bedroom count are left out of the archetypes. Villa sales without bedrooms take them from the buildings registry by exact plot size (same rule as the site).",
