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Access is earned, and it can be withdrawn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.
