Security recommendations:

When contracting a property, it is important to be very careful and always corroborate the information of who is offering it.

It is also key to be suspicious if the photographs do not seem real, if the prices are very low, if they ask for money in «advance», if the owner does not identify himself with a landline or if he refuses to give any type of information.
