Trust & safety

How we keep EstateVera Marketplace honest

Property adverts on EstateVera are placed by private sellers, landlords and agents. This page explains what our badges mean, what we check, and how to protect yourself while searching.

What the badges mean

EstateVera verified

Our team has reviewed supporting evidence for this advert, such as ownership or letting authority, before the badge was applied. Verified adverts show this badge on the search card and on the property page.

Advertiser supplied

Details were provided by the advertiser and have not been independently checked by EstateVera. Most adverts sit here — it does not mean the advert is wrong, only that we have not verified the paperwork.

Advertiser profile

Every advert links to a public advertiser profile showing whether they are a private seller, landlord or agent, how long they have advertised with us, the areas they cover and their live and completed adverts.

Staying safe

Always view in person

Never agree to rent or buy from photographs alone. Insist on viewing the property, and be cautious if you are told the owner is abroad or unavailable.

Never send money up front

EstateVera never asks you to pay a holding fee, deposit or rent through the Marketplace. Do not transfer money to secure a viewing, and never pay by cryptocurrency, gift card or money transfer service.

Keep conversations on-platform

Use the enquiry and viewing tools so there is a record of the exchange. Be wary of anyone pushing you onto messaging apps immediately or refusing a phone call.

Check the paperwork

For rentals, ask for gas safety, EICR and EPC certificates and deposit-protection details. For purchases, your solicitor should confirm title and ownership before any money moves.

Report an advert

If an advert looks misleading, duplicated or fraudulent, use the Report this advert link on the property page. Reports go straight to our moderation team, who can pause or remove an advert while it is reviewed. You can also email support@estatevera.com.

EstateVera is an advertising platform. We are not a party to any sale or tenancy agreement and do not hold client money. Listing information is supplied by advertisers unless marked EstateVera verified.
