Common Property Scams and How Barshi Property Helps You Avoid Them
Buying or renting property is a big decision—and unfortunately, it’s also an area where many people fall victim to property scams. From fake listings to forged documents, the risks are real, especially in growing markets like Maharashtra. At Barshi Property, we’re committed to protecting you from these traps through our 100% verified platform.
Let’s take a look at the most common property scams—and how Barshi Property helps you stay safe.
1. Fake Listings with Attractive Prices
The Scam:
Scammers post fake or non-existent properties with too-good-to-be-true prices to attract buyers or renters. Once contacted, they ask for a token amount to “hold” the property—and disappear.
How We Help:
✅ Every listing on Barshi Property is verified before going live. We confirm ownership and legal status, so you only see genuine listings.
2. Forged Ownership Documents
The Scam:
In this scam, fraudsters present forged title deeds or ownership papers to sell or rent out properties they don’t legally own.
How We Help:
✅ We verify original documents like the title deed, property tax receipts, and government approvals from the owner before publishing any listing.
3. Selling the Same Property to Multiple Buyers
The Scam:
Unscrupulous sellers sometimes sell the same property to multiple buyers with fake documents, resulting in legal disputes and loss of money.
How We Help:
✅ Our team checks property history and ensures that the property is free from legal encumbrances or ongoing disputes.
4. Hidden Legal Disputes or Encumbrances
The Scam:
Some sellers hide that the property is under legal dispute or has loans/mortgages pending—leaving the new buyer in trouble.
How We Help:
✅ We ask for encumbrance certificates and NOCs during the verification process to ensure you’re not buying a problematic property.
5. Rental Deposit Fraud
The Scam:
In rental scams, fraudsters collect deposit money from multiple tenants for the same property or for properties they don’t own.
How We Help:
✅ We verify the landlord’s ID and ownership proof before listing any rental property, ensuring tenants connect only with genuine owners.
6. Delayed Possession in Under-Construction Projects
The Scam:
Buyers invest in under-construction properties that never get completed or are delayed for years due to approvals or financial issues.
How We Help:
✅ We list only those projects with proper approvals and documentation. Plus, we help you track project status and updates.
Conclusion: Stay Smart, Stay Safe
Scams may be common, but with the right platform, you can avoid them entirely. At Barshi Property, we do the background checks, legal verifications, and owner validations—so you don’t have to worry.
