Trust & safety

Buying and renting safely

The platform helps you find and compare. It does not hold your money or transfer ownership, so the checks below are yours to make.

Vehicles
  • Meet at the seller’s premises or a busy public place, in daylight.
  • Check that the registration document matches the chassis number on the vehicle.
  • Take a test drive with the seller. Never pay a deposit before it.
  • Pay by a traceable method to the registered owner or business, not cash in a car park.
Land
  • Run your own title search with the land authority before paying anything.
  • Walk the boundaries with the seller and confirm them against the documents.
  • Check access, water and electricity yourself rather than relying on the description.
  • Use a notary for the transfer. Never hand over cash for a plot on a handshake.
Houses and apartments
  • View the property in person before paying a deposit.
  • Ask for a written lease that states the deposit amount and when it is returned.
  • Confirm who the landlord or registered agent is, and ask for identification.
  • Be careful with prices far below similar listings nearby.

What our badges do and do not cover

A badge says that our team made one specific check on a stated date. It is not a government guarantee, a legal title search, a valuation or an inspection. Ownership and identity documents are never shown publicly.

What each badge means

Common warning signs

  • The seller asks for a deposit or “reservation fee” before you have seen the asset.
  • The seller cannot meet, or pushes you to decide today.
  • The documents do not match the asset, or the seller refuses to show them.
  • The price is far below similar listings, or you are asked to pay to a personal mobile-money number you cannot verify.

A report button on each listing is not available yet.
