Check the veracity of the photos, contact the advertiser and if possible meet him in person. These are some of the rules suggested by the Postal and Communications Police, the National Consumer Union and Immediately, who take the field to help citizens organize anestate safe, starting from the search for a holiday home without then finding oneself with nasty surprises. Few and simple rules to apply when searching and booking the chosen accommodation to plan and live a holiday in safety. Realistic, complete and not too glossy images: to verify the consistency and truthfulness between images and houses, use a web image search engine to upload the photos in the ad and check that they are not archive photos but shots of a real house.
Beaches with wifi and smart working villages: this is how you work on vacation
Complete and detailed description of the property: to understand if the property and the area (distance from the sea, central position …) correspond to the description made in the ad, look for the road indicated on the maps available on the web and, once you have found the exact place, view it via satellite. Contact the advertiser via chat: for further confirmations, contact the advertiser via the platform chat, ask for additional information and photos on the property and learn more with a chat asking for the telephone number, possibly fixed.
Adequate property price: to understand if a price is high, low or adequate it is appropriate to do a search on the area through the platform where the ad is present, also using a search engine and checking if the price is not too low and therefore actually online with the location and structure of the house. Meeting with the advertiser: to check that everything is correct, meet the advertiser where possible for a visit to the house and to deliver the amount due in person. Deposit request and value: the request for a deposit is legitimate, provided it does not exceed 20% of the total. Identity documents. Do not send personal documents: identity card, driving license or passport must never be shared as they could be used for unlawful purposes. Payments: make payments only on IBAN or via tracked payment methods, the bank IBAN must be traceable to an Italian current account that can be verified using tools such as IBAN calculator. With the aim of reaching as many users as possible, the 8 golden rules are available on the Subito, Postal and Communications Police and UNC platforms and will also be promoted through social networks with dedicated activities.
