PROPERTY GUIDE
Before paying a property token
Do not rely only on a seller statement or one document. Organise the property, owner, authority, prior commitment and payment conditions before paying a material token.
- Identify the property and person claiming authority to sell.
- Collect the core ownership/transaction documents relevant to the property type.
- Ask about prior agreements, token/advance, claims, notices, loan/mortgage and possession issues.
- Record refund/forfeiture and conditions in the applicable agreement through the relevant professional where required.
- Use traceable payment instructions and retain evidence.
