Safety tips
Buy or rent with the right habits.
On diaspora.immo, you deal directly with advertisers. A few simple habits are enough to move forward calmly, whether you are abroad or on site.
Before you commit
Verify the identity of the person you deal with
Ask for proof of identity and, for a professional, details about their business.
Ask for documents related to the property
Title, lease, supporting documents: compare them with the listing information.
Make sure the person is authorized
Owner, agent, or representative: their capacity to offer the property must be clear.
Visit the property when possible
In person or via a live video visit, with a trusted person if you are abroad.
Get support when needed
A notary, lawyer, or competent professional for important steps of the transaction.
Never pay based on a listing alone
No payment without a visit, supporting documents, and a written commitment.
Beware of unusually low prices
A price far below market value is a common warning sign.
Do not share unnecessary banking details
Limit sensitive information shared with the other party.
Keep messages and supporting documents
Messages, receipts, and documents may help if a dispute arises.
