BDLord guide

Make your next property move with care

Use this checklist as a starting point. Property rules and documents vary, so get independent legal advice before a transaction.

Protect yourself from scams

Never pay an advance before seeing the property and checking its documents.

Visit the property in person and confirm that it matches the listing.
Ask to see original ownership and approval documents; verify them with the relevant authority or a qualified lawyer.
Confirm the identity and authority of the owner or representative before sharing money or documents.
For a rental, agree in writing on rent, deposit, utilities, notice period, and repair responsibilities before signing.
Keep receipts and signed copies of every agreement and payment.
