Your Home Logbook and Sale Pack, Ready Before You Sell
Home+ keeps a running record of every job, certificate and guarantee for your home. When you come to sell, the documents a buyer's solicitor asks for are already in one place, not spread across drawers, inboxes and old contractors.
Free to use. No card needed. Built for UK homes.
Sales slow down when the paperwork is missing
When you sell, you fill in the Property Information Form (TA6). It asks about alterations, guarantees, services, boundaries and more. The buyer's solicitor then reads your answers and asks for the evidence: the building regulations sign-off for the extension, the FENSA certificate for the windows, the guarantee for the damp-proofing, the last gas safety record.
If you only start gathering those papers once you have an offer, you are chasing old contractors and the council while the buyer waits. Missing documents can mean extra enquiries, indemnity policies or delays.
A home logbook fixes that by building the record as you go. Home+ keeps it for you, as part of the free home maintenance app.

How Home+ builds your logbook as you go
Tell us about your home. Add the property type, age and heating, and Home+ builds your maintenance plan.
Every finished job is logged. When a job is completed, it is added to your property history with the date and details. You can look back to see what was done, who did it and what it cost.
Certificates go in your vault. Upload certificates, guarantees and receipts to your document vault. Home+ reads details such as expiry dates and reminds you before anything runs out.
Hand over what is asked for. When your solicitor or a buyer asks for a document, find it in seconds, then download it or share it.
Already lived there for years? Start with what you have
You do not need a complete history to begin. Upload the certificates, guarantees and receipts you can find today, and Home+ will keep the record from here on. For anything missing, our guides explain how to get a replacement:
- Get a copy of a building regs completion certificate
- Lost title deeds: what to do
- Home guarantees explained
The earlier you start, the less there is to chase when you sell.
Not just for selling
- Remortgaging. Lenders and valuers may ask about the EPC, alterations and planning history. See our remortgage guide.
- Insurance claims. Receipts, service records and photos help show the home was looked after. See evidence for a home insurance claim.
- Booking a trade. A tradesperson can see straight away when the boiler was last serviced or the wiring last checked.
- Peace of mind. You know what has been done to your home, and when.
