Some historical backlinks to Property Match point at hacked WordPress asset paths and unrelated fraud-recovery pages. We do not recreate that material. The useful replacement is a practical safety guide for property seekers, renters, landlords, and investors.
Treat pressure as a warning
Be cautious if someone asks you to pay immediately, avoid written records, move the conversation to an unrelated channel, or send money before you have verified the listing. Real property transactions can move quickly, but they should still leave a clear paper trail.
Verify the listing
Before paying a deposit or reservation fee, confirm:
- The property exists and the photos match the unit or land
- The person offering it has authority to rent, sell, or represent the owner
- The price, fees, deposit, contract term, and included furniture are written down
- The bank account name matches the party you are paying or a verified agency process
- The address, title details, building, and room number are consistent across documents
For renters
View the property in person or through a live video call. Ask for the lease draft before paying. Photograph the unit on move-in day, record meter readings, and keep all repair requests in writing.
For buyers and investors
Use independent legal advice. Check title, ownership, encumbrances, access, zoning, foreign-ownership rules, taxes, fees, and any arrears. For bank-owned or auction property, read the sale conditions and understand possession risk before bidding.
For landlords and agents
Protect yourself too. Verify the identity of prospective tenants or buyers, avoid sharing sensitive documents unnecessarily, and keep communication and payment instructions consistent.
Property Match workflow
Property Match is built around structured listings, saved criteria, and traceable communication. If something looks suspicious, slow down and verify it. A legitimate deal will survive reasonable due diligence.
