why risk assessment matters
Renters may be unsure about the legitimacy of an online rental property but don’t necessarily want to walk away. An independent risk assessment enables renters to determine whether they should proceed with a property rental or if added safeguards are recommended. Currently, renters often walk away from legitimate offers because they are unsure – our tools enable them to proceed with adequate safeguards in place.
Specialist independent risk assessment tools and procedures can protect renters by spotting red flags on their behalf, without any landlord involvement.
Secureprop risk assessment issues risk assessment as well as advice regarding rent scam safeguards.

HOW IT WORKS – RENTER

We gather the required information from the renter and commence the review.
Additional information and clarification may be sought throughout the process and complete information is required to determine risk in its entirety.
The process can be completed within 24 hours.

Recommendations, advice and practical guidance is also provided if applicable.
