AreaIntelig Lite

Description

AreaIntelig Lite is a real estate listing and property analysis plugin for WordPress. It helps site owners publish properties, connect them to area profiles, show energy and climate information, calculate investment figures, and display maps.

Create Area Profiles with neighborhood scores, average prices, and coordinates. Add Properties with pricing, rent, expenses, bedrooms, bathrooms, energy ratings, green features, climate risk levels, and coordinates. Display the information with built-in templates or shortcodes.

All property data is stored on your WordPress site. No account or API key is required. OpenStreetMap tiles are requested only when a page displays a map.

External Services

When a map is displayed, the visitor’s browser requests image tiles from https://tile.openstreetmap.org/. The tile path identifies the coordinates and zoom level being viewed. OpenStreetMap may also receive normal browser request information, including the visitor’s IP address, browser user agent, and referring page.

No tile request is made on pages without a map. By default, AreaIntelig Lite does not transmit property, energy, climate, or settings data to another external service.

Developers can replace the tile URL with the areaintelig_tile_url filter. A site using another provider is responsible for reviewing and disclosing that provider’s terms and privacy practices.

FAQ

Do I need an API key or external account?

No. Plugin data is stored in WordPress. OpenStreetMap tiles do not require an API key.

Does this create an official energy certificate?

No. The plugin displays information entered by the site owner. It does not inspect, assess, certify, or verify a building. Use an accredited professional when an official assessment is required.

Can I use the energy scale outside Europe?

Yes. The A to G scale is generic and its label can be changed in settings. Site owners are responsible for using the scale accurately in their location.

How is the Green Score calculated?

The current energy rating contributes up to 45 points, green features up to 30 points, and climate resilience up to 25 points.

Are the calculations financial advice?

No. ROI, yield, deal, and mortgage results are estimates based on entered values. They may not include taxes, fees, insurance, lending rules, market risk, or local requirements. Verify important decisions with qualified professionals.

How does the deal signal work?

It compares a property’s total price with the average price entered in its linked Area Profile. The result is an estimate, not a valuation.

What happens when I delete the plugin?

Data is kept unless the site owner first enables the delete-data option under AreaIntelig Lite > Settings.

What PHP version is required?

PHP 8.0 or newer. On an older version, the plugin stops loading and shows an administrator notice.

Can I override the built-in templates?

Yes. Compatible template files in the active theme can override the plugin’s single and archive templates.

Where do I enter neighborhood scores?

Edit an Area Profile and enter the seven values in its Neighborhood Scores box. Each value accepts 0 to 100.
