Use this rating if the TryRating result is an address (the rating should not be applied to POI and Business results!) and there is strong evidence the address does not actually exist. If sufficient resources are not available to make an informed decision, mark it Can’t Verify instead.
How to check if an address exists:
First, check on the Eircode website if the result address exists. Checking possible by the address or by the postal code (if any) https://finder.eircode.ie/#/
However, if Eircode does not have the checked address exactly (the address not coming back as the same), research is done, and we can rate – “Incorrect – Address does not exist
Please remember to leave a comment that explains your logic, and how far you got in your research!
If the queried address is valid, but does not exist, Tryrating will do one of the following scenarios as a result. You can find the appropriate rating here also.
Checkpoint: In some cases, you will find that an existing address can be found in a different locality. Always mark such cases as Incorrect – Address does not exist and not Incorrect – Locality.
