Redacted and illustrative: the layout, scoring model, and sections are exactly what you’ll receive when you commission a DPI Property + Seller Verification Report on your own property.
Before you wire money, this report tells you exactly what the property is, who is really selling it, and whether the evidence holds up.
John K. Mensah
What exactly is being sold
Confirm ownership, seller identity, and that no competing claims exist before paying a 30% deposit.
How the headline number was built, category by category
Property existence and boundaries are confirmed, but the sale agreement names a vendor whose ID does not exactly match the registered owner, and a second individual has emerged claiming to be a co-heir. Until both are resolved, the risk sits at the Elevated band.
Issues that must be resolved before any money moves.
What we found: The sale agreement names "John A. Mensah" as vendor, but the land registry lists the registered owner as "John Kwame Mensah" with a different national ID number.
Why it matters: The person signing the sale agreement may not have authority to transfer title. Payment to this party risks loss of funds and inability to register the transfer.
Evidence: App. B-4 (sale agreement p.1) vs App. C-1 (registry extract, pulled 2026-04-10).
What we found: A second individual, Mr. S. Mensah, contacted the buyer independently on 2026-04-03 claiming to be a co-heir. Registry lists no co-owners.
Why it matters: An unresolved heirship claim can block registration post-payment, or surface in litigation.
Evidence: App. D-2 (Messenger transcript), App. E-1 (field notes).
What we found: No signed brokerage agreement between the seller and the broker (E. Adjei) was produced.
Why it matters: Without written authority, any commission or payment instruction the broker issues is unenforceable.
Evidence: Buyer interview, 2026-04-08.
Evidence review for John K. Mensah
Of the three individuals claiming authority to sell this property, John K. Mensah is the most credible. Identity and registry ownership align at the plot level, but a middle-name discrepancy between his ID ("John A. Mensah") and the registry ("John Kwame Mensah") prevents a higher score until reconciled.
3 individuals claim authority to sell this property. DPI ranks them here.
| # | Seller | Trust |
|---|---|---|
#1 | John K. Mensah Introduced by buyer's cousin Owner | 62Credible with caveats |
#2 | E. Adjei Introduced by John K. Mensah Broker | 55Mixed / unresolved |
#3 | S. Mensah Unsolicited Messenger contact Co-heir | 18Not credible |
Most credible of the three. Identity and registry align at the plot level; the unresolved "John A." vs "John Kwame" middle-name mismatch is the single blocker preventing a higher score.

Scripted, risk-tied questions. Copy and paste into WhatsApp, email, or your next call.
Your national ID shows the name "John A. Mensah" but the land registry shows "John Kwame Mensah". Can you send the document that reconciles these two names?
Probes: Identity mismatch risk
Honest answer looks like: Sends a name-reconciliation affidavit, a gazette notice, or an ID history showing both names.
Red flag answer looks like: Refuses, delays indefinitely, or claims it doesn't matter.
Please send a photo of your national ID next to today's date written on paper, and a short video of you standing at the property's main gate.
Probes: Identity and physical possession
Honest answer looks like: Sends both within a day without friction.
Red flag answer looks like: Refuses, sends only old photos, or sends a different property.
S. Mensah has contacted me claiming to be a co-heir of this property. Can you explain the family ownership and provide any document that addresses his claim?
Probes: Competing claimant
Honest answer looks like: Acknowledges and produces family documentation, or confirms the claim is false with evidence.
Red flag answer looks like: Becomes evasive, dismisses without evidence, or pressures the buyer to ignore it.
Please send me your signed brokerage agreement with the owner.
Probes: Broker authority
Honest answer looks like: Sends a written, signed brokerage agreement naming the plot.
Red flag answer looks like: Says no written agreement exists, or sends an unrelated document.
Which bank account will receive payment, and in whose name is it held?
Probes: Payment route and identity alignment
Honest answer looks like: Names an account in the registered owner's name, or a lawyer / conveyancer trust account.
Red flag answer looks like: Names an unrelated third-party account or insists on cash/crypto.
DPI needs: (a) a certified registry extract dated within 30 days confirming John K. Mensah as sole registered owner; (b) a supervised live ID check of the signing vendor; (c) a written, witnessed statement from S. Mensah either confirming or withdrawing his claim.
The physical property is real and matches what the buyer was told. The risk in this file is entirely administrative: a name reconciliation on the primary seller and a resolution of the competing heirship claim. Neither is a deal-breaker, but both must close before any deposit moves.
