Standards

Access is earned, and it can be withdrawn

Buyers only trust a marketplace when the bad actors are removed from it. These are the standards every Darivo provider agrees to before their first submission.

Verification at onboarding

  • Valid trade licence and, for brokers, a current brokerage registration.
  • Named responsible contact and company details.
  • Licence expiry recorded; access suspends automatically on lapse.

The Trust Score

Every provider carries a visible score built from measurable behaviour:

  • Licence validity and permit compliance on submitted properties.
  • Availability accuracy — properties that turn out to be unavailable are penalised heavily.
  • Shortlist rate and viewing attendance.
  • Buyer feedback, including whether the property was accurately represented.
  • Complaint history and response times.

Prohibited conduct

  • Submitting properties that breach a buyer's mandatory criteria without a declared exception request.
  • Bait-and-switch, or advertising a property already under offer or sold.
  • Contacting a buyer outside the platform before consent is given.
  • Pressure tactics, artificial urgency or misrepresentation of costs.
  • Any attempt to identify or de-anonymise a buyer.

Consequences

Depending on severity, Darivo may issue a warning, reduce the Trust Score, suspend marketplace access, refund the provider's access fees, or remove the provider permanently. Buyers can raise a complaint from any submission, conversation or viewing in their dashboard.
