Practical takeaway

Clean client records reduce allocation mistakes and make search, finance, and client account setup more reliable.

Normalize Before You Compare

Standardize names, phone numbers, and emails before checking for duplicates. Many duplicate records are caused by spacing, case differences, abbreviations, or repeated spreadsheet uploads.

Check Estate Context

Duplicate names should be reviewed within the estate or company context. A shared name is not always a duplicate, but an unassigned repeated client with the same contact details usually needs cleanup.

Protect Active Ownership

Never delete a client record that is attached to a sold, allocated, reserved, or finance-active plot without a clear transfer or merge decision.
