What Do We Verify? A Detailed Look

The verification process at Makao Homes involves multiple steps, each designed to confirm the authenticity and livability of rental properties. Here’s what we check during a property visit:

1. Physical Inspection of the Property

• Structural Integrity: We assess the overall condition of the property, examining the walls, roof, and foundation for any signs of damage or wear that could pose safety concerns.
• Utilities Check: Our team verifies that essential utilities such as water, electricity, and internet are functional and meet local standards.
• Securitiy Features: We ensure that the property is equipped with reliable locks, security systems, and adequate lighting.

2. Verification of Amenities

• Furnishings and Appliances: If a property is advertised as furnished, we confirm the presence and condition of furniture and appliances included with the rental.
• Common Areas: We check the state of communal facilities, such as pools, gyms, or gardens, if applicable.

3. Documentation Verification

Documentation plays an essential role in ensuring both landlords and renters are protected. During our verification process, we conduct the following checks:

• Ownership Proof: We verify that the landlord has rightful ownership of the property to avoid issues with legitimacy.
• Compliance with Local Laws: We ensure that the property adheres to local building codes and regulations, which helps avoid potential legal disputes.

4. Neighbourhood Analysis

Understanding the surrounding area is crucial for a successful rental experience. We evaluate the neighbourhood based on:

• Safety: We assess crime rates and the overall security of the area.
• Proximity to Facilities: Check for accessibility to schools, hospitals, markets, and public transport options.
• Community Vibe: We provide insights into the local community, ensuring you find a place where you’ll feel at home.
