Holiday rental scams in the Algarve remain a concern. To help you book safely, we’ve put together some essential tips to protect yourself:
- Start your search for a holiday home in the Algarve well in advance. Last-minute bookings can lead to rushed decisions and increase the risk of fraud.
- Be cautious with little-known websites and overly enticing adverts on social media. Before making any payment, check reviews and clarify all doubts.
- When searching for a holiday rental, compare listings across different platforms to ensure price consistency. Many scammers use stolen images from the internet to create fake rental adverts.
- If you have doubts about a property’s legitimacy when dealing with the owner, request the property registration certificate. This document helps verify ownership and prevent potential fraud.
- If possible, visit the property before making any payment.
- Always check that the bank account holder matches the name of the property owner before transferring any money.
