Before you enquire
Review the listing carefully. Compare price, location, photos, agency details, and any contact information for consistency.
Safety Tips
Make safer property decisions with practical checks
Use these guidelines before you enquire, visit a property, share documents, make payments, or engage a service provider through any real-estate journey.
If something feels urgent or suspicious, pause first.
Do not make pressured payments, send sensitive documents, or attend unsafe viewings. Contact SkyKente or report the listing with the details you have.
Safety Basics
Protect yourself at every stage
Before a viewing
Confirm the appointment, meet in a reasonable setting, share your plans with someone you trust, and avoid isolated arrangements.
Before payment
Verify ownership or agency authority, confirm payment instructions, and avoid sending money under pressure or outside normal channels.
Before sharing documents
Only share what is necessary, understand why it is needed, and avoid sending sensitive documents to unverified contacts.
Before signing
Read agreements carefully and seek qualified legal advice where the terms, parties, or obligations are unclear.
Before hiring services
Check provider identity, fees, scope, and terms before engaging relocation, legal, financing, or moving support.
Viewing Checklist
A safer viewing starts before you arrive
Viewings should feel clear, professional, and traceable. If details keep changing or the contact avoids basic verification, slow down and ask more questions.
Confirm the exact property
Match the listing title, address area, photos, and contact details before travelling.
Use traceable communication
Keep messages, call logs, names, and appointment details in case you need to reference them later.
Avoid carrying large cash amounts
Do not bring large payments to a viewing unless terms, receipt handling, and authority are fully verified.
Trust your instincts
Leave if the location, contact behaviour, or payment pressure feels unsafe or inconsistent.
Warning Signs
Be cautious when you see these patterns
These signs do not always prove wrongdoing, but they are good reasons to verify carefully before continuing.
Pressure to pay immediately
A contact insists you must pay right away to secure the property before verification or viewing.
Unclear identity or authority
The person cannot explain their relationship to the property, owner, agency, or service provider.
Details keep changing
Price, location, viewing contact, availability, or payment instructions change without a clear reason.
Requests for unnecessary documents
You are asked for sensitive documents or personal details before a legitimate reason is established.
Payments and Documents
Keep money and personal information protected
Verify payment instructions
Confirm account names, receipt process, agreement terms, and who is authorized to receive payment.
Keep written records
Save receipts, contracts, messages, call notes, and transaction references for future review.
Use professional advice when needed
For contracts, financing, or legal obligations, consult qualified professionals before signing or paying.
