The Homeowner App That Puts Your Entire Property in One Place

Owning a home involves more administration than most people anticipate before they buy.

There's the mortgage — the monthly payment, the outstanding balance, the rate, the term, the remortgage date sitting somewhere in the future when it becomes relevant. There's the maintenance schedule — boiler service, gutter clean, roof check, smoke alarm battery, EICR every five years. There's the document mountain — deeds, completion statements, surveys, energy performance certificates, gas safety records, appliance warranties, building work guarantees.

And underneath all of it, always in the background: what's the house actually worth right now?

Most homeowners hold this information across a combination of email folders, filing cabinets, memory, and guesswork. Most of the time it works. Until the boiler breaks and nobody can remember when it was last serviced. Until you need to remortgage and can't find the original completion statement. Until an estate agent asks for the EPC rating and you have no idea where that is.

A homeowner app should solve this. Not by giving you a prettier place to store things, but by actively keeping track of what matters and surfacing it when you need it.

SimpliHome does that. Here's how.

#Property Valuations: What Is Your Home Worth Right Now?

Property values change. The question "what's our house worth?" used to require calling an estate agent or waiting for a postcode-level report that arrived quarterly.

SimpliHome connects to the Zoopla property database and pulls an up-to-date estimated valuation for your property, updated regularly so you can see how the value is moving over time — not just a single snapshot.

This matters for more than curiosity. When you're thinking about remortgaging, making home improvement decisions, or just tracking your household's net worth, knowing your current estimated property value gives you a real number to work with rather than an out-of-date guess.

Trend tracking over time. SimpliHome stores valuations historically so you can see how your property's value has changed. That's your home as an appreciating (or occasionally depreciating) asset — tracked the same way you'd track any other financial position.

#Home Ownership Tracker: Your Property's Full Financial Picture

Beyond the valuation, SimpliHome gives you a complete picture of the financial position of your property.

Outstanding mortgage balance. Record your current balance and monthly payment. Update it after remortgages or lump sum overpayments. When you look at your property record, you see the estimated value alongside the outstanding mortgage — giving you a real-time view of your equity.

Mortgage rate and term. Record your current deal — the rate, the lender, and when the fixed term ends. When your rate is about to expire, SimpliHome reminds you with enough lead time to shop around before you roll onto the standard variable rate.

Monthly property costs. Beyond the mortgage, track ground rent (for leasehold properties), service charges, buildings insurance, and any other recurring costs attached to the property. These sit alongside your household bills so you have one consolidated view of what the home actually costs each month.

This is your home ownership tracker and the financial core of any serious house management app: not just a record of the purchase price, but a living document of your property's financial state.

#House Maintenance Tracker: What's Due and When

Property maintenance is the area where the gap between what homeowners know they should do and what they actually do is widest.

Everybody knows the boiler should be serviced annually. Most people aren't entirely sure when it was last done.

SimpliHome's house maintenance tracker lets you build a complete maintenance schedule for every property in your Circle. For each task, you record:

What the job is — chosen from 20+ built-in categories (boiler service, gutter clean, chimney sweep, roof inspection, smoke alarm battery, EICR, and more) or a custom task you define
When it was last done — the actual date, not "sometime in 2022"
How often it needs doing — monthly, every 3 months, every 6 months, annually, every 5 years
Which company or tradesperson does the work

SimpliHome calculates the next due date automatically. When a task is approaching, a reminder lands in your inbox a week before — enough time to book an engineer rather than discovering the oversight after something goes wrong.

When the job is done, mark it complete. The schedule updates, the next due date is set, and the history is logged. Over time you build a complete record of what has been done to the property and when — the kind of maintenance history that adds value when you come to sell.

#Property Document Storage: One Place for Everything

The paperwork generated by owning a property is significant. Most of it lives somewhere you'll struggle to find when you actually need it.

SimpliHome's property document storage — built on the same secure file vault as the rest of the app — gives you a dedicated place to store:

Legal documents: completion statements, title deeds, land registry documents
Surveys: structural surveys, homebuyer reports, specialist reports
Energy certificates: Energy Performance Certificate (EPC), gas safety records
Warranties and guarantees: new boiler, extension, windows, appliances
Planning documents: permitted development evidence, planning permission, building regulations sign-off
Insurance documents: buildings and contents policy documents, renewal confirmations
Tradespeople invoices: a record of who did what and when

All files are stored encrypted on SimpliHome's secure UK servers, not in a public folder. They're accessible on any device, shareable with a solicitor or estate agent when needed, and won't disappear because you changed email provider.

#Home Records App: The Information That Survives a House Move

Here's the scenario: you're selling. The buyer's solicitor asks whether you have planning permission documentation for the extension. The estate agent needs the EPC rating. The buyer wants to know who services the boiler and when it was last done.

If you've been using SimpliHome as your home records app, these answers are a tap away. If you haven't, you're excavating email archives from 2019 and hoping the documents are still there.

The same applies when you move in. If the previous owner has provided a maintenance history and document pack, you can add it to SimpliHome immediately. From that point on, the record continues — so the next buyer gets a complete picture too.

#Property Organiser App: Multiple Properties, One View

For households with more than one property — a rental, a holiday home, or a family member's home you help manage — SimpliHome tracks them all within the same Circle.

Each property has its own record: valuation, maintenance schedule, documents, mortgage details, and financial summary. The dashboard shows all properties together so you can see the combined picture.
