Public beta
Beta test disclaimer — NewProperties.co.za
Public beta: every enquiry goes to the NewProperties desk. A developer is copied only once they are verified and their sales contact is confirmed. Listings are for information — confirm pricing and availability before you commit.
For buyers
Send an enquiry from any listing as usual. During the beta every message is emailed to the NewProperties desk. You also get a confirmation email addressed to you by name. If the developer listed this stock from their own verified profile — or we have independently confirmed their sales email — they receive a copy with this disclaimer attached. Catalogue demo listings stay on the desk until that confirmation.
An enquiry is a request for information, not a reservation. Confirm pricing, unit mix and occupation dates with the developer before you pay a deposit or sign a building contract.
For developers
Apply from the dashboard with your CIPC enterprise number and NHBRC home-builder number. NewProperties runs automated format checks, duplicate detection, a website probe and an email-to-domain match. If those pass, your profile is verified immediately and you can publish. If we cannot match a live company website, an administrator finishes CIPC / NHBRC confirmation by hand. CIPC and NHBRC do not publish a free lookup API, so live registry confirmation is still a human step when the website check is inconclusive.
Buyer mail is copied to you only once you are verified and your sales contact is confirmed — never to placeholder @example addresses on the seeded catalogue.
Catalogue versus self-listed
Seeded catalogue profiles exist so the beta has real-looking stock to browse. Their contacts are placeholders on purpose. Self-listed developers (signed-in accounts that submitted CIPC and NHBRC) are the ones who receive leads, with this disclaimer in the email.
