Frequently asked questions

Are Facebook property group ads reliable?

Some are genuine and some are not, and the group itself usually does not check the advertiser or the unit. Get the unit number and price in writing, and pay no deposit before confirming the owner or developer.

How do I know a post’s unit is still available?

Ask for the unit and project, and get written confirmation of the price and the offer date. A tempting price on a unit sold months ago is a common pattern.

Should I pay a deposit to someone from a Facebook group?

Pay only by bank transfer to the developer’s or owner’s account, after seeing a contract or proof of ownership. Never transfer to the personal account of someone you do not know.
