What we check, and what we cannot
We would rather tell you exactly where our guarantees end than pretend they cover everything. Here is the honest version.
The Verified badge
A green badge means a person on our team has opened the vendor's documents and matched them against the account. It is not automatic and it is not permanent.
Identity
A national ID card or passport, matched against the name on the account. Every vendor, without exception.
Business registration
For agencies and developers: the RCCM certificate and the NIU. We check the number is real and that it belongs to the company named on the profile.
Right to advertise
A management mandate, a title deed, or a written authorisation from the owner. This is what stops someone advertising a house that is not theirs to let.
Ongoing behaviour
The badge is withdrawn if reports accumulate, if listings turn out to be already taken, or if the vendor stops replying.
What the badge does not mean
We do not visit properties. Photos and descriptions are the vendor's word until you see the place yourself.
We do not verify land titles at the conservation fonciere. We record what the vendor declares; you must check the number yourself before paying.
We are not party to your transaction and we hold no money. Any payment you make is directly between you and the vendor.
The rules everyone agrees to
Take it down when it goes
A property that is sold or rented must be marked as such the same week. Leaving stale listings up to farm enquiries is the fastest way to lose an account here.
Your own photos only
Images must be of the actual property. Recycled stock photography and pictures lifted from other sites are removed on sight.
The advertised price is the price
Caution, avance and agency fees must be declared on the listing. Discovering extra months at the door is a reportable offence.
No fee to view
Charging a prospective tenant to be shown a property is not allowed on SlayImmo. Report it if you are asked.
Protect yourself in five moves
Visit in daylight, and go back once at rush hour.
Ask for the original documents, not photocopies, and photograph the title number.
Never transfer money before the visit. Never pay a deposit to hold a viewing.
Get a written receipt for every franc, signed and dated.
For a purchase, use a notary. It costs money and it saves fortunes.
Something looks wrong?
Every listing page has a report link. Reports are confidential and we act on them.
