Emmy Award Winning TV Personality Creates Easy-to-Use Organisational App That Could Shave 8 Weeks Off Of The Home Buying Process
In the UK alone, over 300,000 property sales, at a combined value of c.£2 billion, collapse before completion each year, with the majority falling through due to lost or missing documents. The same issue can also add delays of between 2-8 weeks to the home buying process of successful transactions.
Created as a solution to the frustrating and often costly property purchase process, the Home App, an innovative digital filing platform created by TV Personality and Property Entrepreneur Emily Evans, provides a toolkit that could save users time and money.
The conveyancing process begins once an offer is accepted and lawyers or intermediaries are instructed to handle the legal and regulatory elements of a home purchase. It is at this stage where most homeowners or buyers become aware of the multitude of documents and particulars required to ensure the sale goes through.
One of the most common causes of delay is lost, missing or incorrect documents and buyers or sellers’ ability to locate and submit them can have a significant impact on the conveyancing timeline and cause issues across the chain.
This is where the Home App can play a major role in revolutionising the home buying process. If adopted at the beginning of the buying process the Home App could alleviate a lot of the issues due to its innovative and easy-to-use organisational elements.
Key sections are listed as tabs, including financials, accounts, mortgage and maintenance, providing customisable filing and storage sections to ensure that all necessary documents from home insurance policies to boiler maintenance certificates are saved and organised in an easily accessible system.
Emily believes the Home App could save millions of pounds in lost taxes and fees due to sales fall throughs.
Emily Evans, founder of Home, commented: “I’ve spent a long time working in the property sector, alongside my career in the entertainment industry, and one of the most frustrating aspects has been the property management side, which is in large parts managing and updating important documents and deeds. I have always found it baffling that some people don’t have the needs or means to keep important paperwork safe to hand. The delays and extra work this causes can costs businesses thousands in extra work and lost sales.
“I created Home to provide a simple, easy-to-use digital filing system that will revolutionise the home buying process, whilst there are also other elements that will make those tedious day-to-day tasks so much simpler. From ID storage to interior design hacks the Home App will become a crucial part of how people manage their lives.”
Key features of the Home App include an advice tab, which provides tips and insight from Emily Evans, with a Q&A feature, as well as a trusted traders section. Perfect for designers, the Home App also has a tab that stores and organises images capturing design inspirations or striking furniture items or artwork taken on the go.
Perfect for professionals, the Home App can be utilised by property managers with the ability to organise client documents and streamline workflow within the professional dashboard.
Available as a free download from the App Store and Google Play the Home App serves as a digital filing cabinet to help manage and organise the home buying process.
