House

Our safety tips

• Check if the listing belongs to a Jumia Shop. If it does, we already discussed with the listing publisher.
• All listings bearing the "Jumia House" feature are provided though real estate professionals.
• Never send money to "book" a property, ask the cost for a visit.
• Avoid sending money through untraceable methods such as Western Union or Mobile Money.
• Carefully check that the property is matching your expectations in term of quality. Do enquire professional advice if needed.
• Make sure the person you are dealing with is a registered agent and can produce all required documents.
• Beware of homeowners too busy to meet you: when dealing with a serious owner, he/she will always find time.
• Make sure the property documents are in order and legit. Do enquire professional advice if needed.
• Never provide personal details before meeting with the listing owner.
• Beware of offers too good to be true.
