Cross-Party Consistency Check — Reservation deposit
Primary official evidence
A payment labelled Kapora should be tied to a written document identifying the property, parties, amount, purpose, deadline and refund/forfeiture conditions; the label alone does not settle its legal effect. Use the current official or signed record for the same property and parties. Compare the same identifiers across seller, buyer, representative, issuer and official record; a material mismatch needs reconciliation from the competent source.
Key verification points
If payment instructions or the bank account change, pause the transfer until the change is confirmed through an independent channel and verified identity; do not rely on one message or a receipt image.
Document and identity reconciliation
A payment labelled Kapora should be tied to a written document identifying the property, parties, amount, purpose, deadline and refund/forfeiture conditions; the label alone does not settle its legal effect. Do not accept the issue until its legal and financial consequence is understood and documented.
Timing and change risk
A payment labelled Kapora should be tied to a written document identifying the property, parties, amount, purpose, deadline and refund/forfeiture conditions; the label alone does not settle its legal effect. Preserve the record in a form that a later buyer can audit against the same property.
