Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about how NyumbaUG works.

Is it free to list a property?

Yes. The Free plan costs nothing. Paid listing plans, boosts and agency plans are optional, and you always see the price before you pay.

How do I pay?

With Mobile Money (MTN or Airtel) or a Visa or Mastercard card, through our payment provider, Flutterwave. You can also pay with NyumbaUG credits from your wallet.

What does "verified" mean?

There are two kinds of check. A verified seller or agency has had their ID or company registration checked by our team. A lawyer-verified listing has had its ownership documents checked by one of our partner lawyers; at the higher level the lawyer also visited the property. The safety centre explains exactly what each check covers.

Can I edit a listing after publishing?

Yes. Open it from Listings in your dashboard and choose Edit. The listing stays live while you edit. If it has a verification badge, changing the title, price, type, category or location removes the badge, because the lawyer checked the old details. You can apply for verification again.

How do I get my listing seen by more people?

Boost it for a set number of days: Top of search puts it in one of a few rotating spots at the top of matching results, Featured puts it in the homepage carousel, and Promoted gives it a framed card that stands out. Paid listing plans include boosts too.

I think a listing is fake or fraudulent. What can I do?

Use the Report button on the listing, or email us at nyumbaug1@gmail.com. We review reports and remove confirmed scams. If you've lost money or been threatened, also report it to the police.
