Property records

The paperwork that covers the whole building — service history, registers, warranties and the seasonal rounds.

These are the sheets that sit at the front of a house folder. They are not about one appliance or one machine; they cover the property as a whole, and they are the ones a buyer, a surveyor or an insurer will ask to see.

Sheets in Property records

Home Maintenance Schedule

Turn a vague intention to look after the house into a page you can tick off, so the jobs that only need doing once or twice a year actually get done.

PR-01 2 pages

Home Service History Register

Keep one continuous record of everything that has been serviced, repaired or replaced, so the history of the building exists in one place rather than in a drawer of loose invoices.

PR-02 1 page

Appliance and Equipment Register

Collect the numbers you can never find when something breaks: model and serial numbers, install dates, and when the warranty runs out.

PR-03 2 pages

Warranty and Receipt Register

Turn a failure into a claim instead of a bill, by knowing what is still covered before you call someone out.

PR-04 1 page

Contractor and Tradesperson Log

Remember who did what, what it cost, and who was worth calling back — and have a dated record if a dispute ever starts.

PR-05 1 page

New Home Record Sheet

Capture the things you need to know about a new property while you are still paying attention, rather than at two in the morning during a leak.

PR-06 2 pages

Filter Change Log

Stop measuring a clogged filter in a dark loft. Write the size down the first time, then reorder without taking the old one out.

PR-07 2 pages

Autumn and Winter Home Checklist

Get ahead of the cold, so a frost or a storm does not turn into a burst pipe or a heating failure on the coldest night of the year.

PR-09 2 pages

Emergency Shut-Off Locations Sheet

Make sure anyone in the household can turn off the water, gas or electricity quickly, including people who did not move in with the property.

PR-10 2 pages

Home Contents Inventory for Insurance

List what you own before you need to, so a claim or a police report starts from a document rather than from trying to remember a burgled room.

PR-11 1 page

Garage and Loft Inventory

Know what is in the boxes without going up into the loft, by numbering the boxes and keeping the list on paper.

PR-12 1 page

Paint and Decorating Record

Record what went on which wall so a touch-up in three years is one trip to one shop instead of an afternoon of matching.

PR-13 1 page

Insurance Claim Evidence Log

Keep a claim's own timeline and costs written down as they happen, so a stalled or disputed claim has a dated record behind it rather than a memory of what was promised.

PR-15 2 pages

Month-by-Month Home Maintenance Checklist

Give the jobs that do not fit neatly into 'spring' or 'autumn' a home of their own, and carry anything unfinished straight into next month's row instead of losing it.

PR-16 1 page

Home Maintenance Binder Index and Divider Set

Turn a growing stack of printed sheets into a binder with an index and a tab for each section, so a particular record is findable in seconds rather than by flicking through everything.

PR-17 3 pages

Foundation and Wall Crack Monitoring Log

Show a surveyor or insurer whether a crack is growing or only moving with the seasons. The readings are taken the same way every time, so they can be compared.

PR-18 2 pages

Rainfall Drainage Observation Log

Pin down where rainwater gets in by watching what it does around the house in a downpour. Outside and inside go on the same line, so the link shows.

PR-19 2 pages

Rodent Entry Point Check

Find and close the gaps that let rats and mice in, and know which ones to look at again. A numbered gap with a recheck date is easier to follow up than a memory.

PR-20 1 page

Unoccupied Home Visit Log

Show that an empty home was visited and checked as your insurer asks. Every visit gets a dated, initialled line, and anything found is logged with who was told.

PR-21 2 pages

Seasonal Home Closing and Opening Checklist

Shut down a holiday or seasonal home in the right order, and open it up again the same way. The signed sheet also shows when and how the house was winterised.

PR-22 1 page

Manufactured Home Tie-Down Check Record

Keep track of every anchor and strap holding a manufactured home down. A slack or rusted strap shows up as a code in the grid long before a storm finds it.

PR-23 2 pages

Private Underground Lines Record

Know where your own buried cables and pipes run before anyone puts a spade in. Locate services may mark only the utility's lines, so this record covers the rest.

PR-24 2 pages

Property Boundary and Feature Record

Gather what your documents say about every boundary in one place, before a fence falls down. When a repair is due, who maintains it already has a written answer.

PR-25 2 pages

Home Warranty Claim Log

Keep every home warranty claim on one log, from the first call to the repair. Slow visits, repeat refusals and the fees you have paid then show up as a pattern.

PR-26 2 pages
