Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about using New Neighbourhood — whether you're looking for a place or listing yourself as an agent.

For House Hunters

Use the search bar on the homepage to type your city, LGA, or state. You'll see all listed agents in that area. Verified agents (with a badge) appear first.

No. You can search for agents and contact them on WhatsApp without creating an account. You only need to sign in with Google if you want to leave a rating or review.

Click the 'Message on WhatsApp' button on an agent's profile. You'll be redirected to WhatsApp to start a direct conversation. The agent's phone number is never exposed on the page — we handle the redirect securely on our server.

Sign in with Google, go to the agent's profile, and leave a star rating (1–5) with an optional comment. You can only leave one review per agent, but you can update it anytime.

Yes, completely free. There are no fees for searching, browsing, or contacting agents through the platform.

The badge means the agent has submitted a valid Nigerian government-issued ID (NIN, driver's licence, voter's card, or passport) and it has been verified through our third-party provider. It confirms their identity — but it doesn't guarantee the quality of their listings or services.

For Agents

Click 'List yourself as an agent' and sign in with your Google account. Complete your profile by adding your display name, profile photo, WhatsApp number, and at least one service area (city/LGA). Once complete, you'll appear in search results.

Yes, listing is completely free. We may introduce optional paid features in the future, but basic listing will remain free.

After completing your profile, you can verify your identity by submitting a valid government-issued ID (NIN slip, driver's licence, voter's card, or passport). The verification is handled by our third-party provider, Didit. Once verified, you'll get a badge and rank higher in search results.

Your ID document is processed by Didit — we don't store the actual document. We only keep the verification status, document type, a reference ID, and timestamps. See our Privacy Policy for full details.

Your profile data is kept for the duration of your relationship with the platform. If you request removal, we delete your data within 30 days. Verification records are tied to your profile and deleted when your profile is removed.

Yes. Contact us via email (imailasjay@gmail.com) or WhatsApp to request profile removal. We'll remove your listing and delete associated data within 30 days.

Sign in and go to your dashboard. You can update your photo, bio, WhatsApp number, service areas, and service type at any time.

General

New Neighbourhood is Nigeria's open directory for finding trusted, verified housing professionals by area. We connect you with local house agents, caretakers, and landlords.

Verified agents always rank above unverified agents in search results. Within each group, agents are displayed based on profile completeness and activity.

No. We're a directory — think of us as a search engine for house agents. We don't participate in any transactions, we don't manage properties, and we don't mediate deals. Any arrangement you make with an agent is between you and them.

Message us on WhatsApp (+234 902 449 2577) or email imailasjay@gmail.com. We take reports of scams, fake profiles, and abuse seriously.
