How we check a house before it goes live

Our review process, described in full so you can judge it.

The short answer

Our review process, described in full so you can judge it.

Every house on Nkwata is reviewed by a person before it appears in search. Here is exactly what that review involves, so you can judge how much weight to give it.

What we check on every listing

That the landlord's phone number is real and answers
That the photographs show one property, consistently
That the photographs are not taken from elsewhere on the internet
That the stated location and the pin agree with each other
That the price is within a plausible range for that quarter and type
That the description does not contradict the photographs
That an ownership declaration has been signed

What raises the tier

Identity documents move a listing to 'Identity checked'. Ownership paperwork moves it to 'Documents on file'. A physical visit by our agent moves it to 'Nkwata-verified'.

What happens after it goes live

The map location locks and cannot be changed
Changing the property type sends it back for review
Every edit is recorded
Reports from users are investigated, and enough of them suspend the listing automatically

What we cannot do

We cannot guarantee the house is good, the price fair, or the landlord easy to deal with. We check what can be checked and we show you the level. The rest is your judgement, and standing inside the house before you pay is still the most important thing you can do.

Written by the Nkwata field team

We inspect and verify houses across Bamenda — Nkwen, Up Station, Mankon, Old Town, Ntarikon, Mile 2, Below Foncha and Bambili. Everything here comes from properties we have stood inside and landlords we have dealt with, not from research at a desk.
