A few simple habits keep you safe when renting or buying on Dalal.
Before you pay
- Never send a deposit or any money before you see the property in person and check the ownership documents.
- Be extra careful with prices that look too good to be true — that is the most common scam.
- Do not pay anyone who pressures you to "reserve" quickly or to pay outside Dalal.
When you meet
- Meet in daylight and, when possible, in a public place for the first viewing — and bring someone with you.
- Make sure the person showing the property is the owner or an authorised agent, and ask to see identification.
- Tell a friend or family member where you are going and when.
Staying safe on Dalal
- Prefer sellers and brokers who have a trust badge and good reviews.
- Keep your conversation and agreements inside Dalal — it protects you if something goes wrong.
- Never share passwords, verification codes, or bank details in chat.
- Report anything suspicious. Reporting protects you and the whole community.
