What a home handover product should actually do.

A home handover product is the system a housebuilder, housing association or BTR operator uses to take a plot from reservation to occupation and through aftercare, with evidence of what was released, to whom, and when. Most products sold under that name are a digital pack, a snagging app, or a resident portal. Those are surfaces. The thing that transfers liability is the governed record behind them. Guided Home is that record: Handover Governance for the operator, a white-label resident app at yourcompany.guidedhome.co plus Apple and Android apps for the occupant.

Best for

  • Multi-site housebuilders, registered providers and BTR operators
  • Delivery, customer care and asset teams who must prove the journey to NHQC, the New Homes Ombudsman, or the board
  • Organisations that already have a CRM, a defects log, or a portal, and still cannot evidence completeness

Not for

  • A single-site pack PDF
  • A consumer home-moving app
  • A CX skin with no stage readiness
  • Partnership, S106 or bulk transfers. That work sits in Deal Room, on the same record, for organisational handover rather than the occupier journey.

Guided Mobilise is a different product

Guided Mobilise is not the home handover product on this page. It is scheme onboarding and offboarding for property managers, managing agents, block managers and operators. The record is the same platform. The buyer and the job are not.

  • Mobilise new schemes against the receiving checklist
  • Offboard schemes on the same record, so the next agent inherits evidence rather than a filestore
  • More efficient internal operations across every live transfer
  • A clearer client service experience when a scheme arrives or leaves
  • A structured process that helps teams work to TPI guidelines and prepare for emerging regulations

The product page is the source of truth. A short briefing sits at Every scheme arrives differently.

What you buy, and what you still cannot do

Residential developers do not have a handover problem. They have a liability, evidence and governance problem across time. The table is the usual buying mistake, stated plainly.

If you only buy You get You still cannot
A digital pack Files on completion day Prove they were complete, versioned, or accessed
A resident portal A login Govern what is released, or when
A snagging app Tickets Tie defects to handover condition and the pack
Guided Home One plot record: journey stages, pack release, aftercare, resident surface Replace your CRM or your legal advice

How the record works

Inspections, documents and defects sit on one plot record. The inspection establishes the condition of the home. Document Assurance validates the pack against the checklist. Defects stay tied to that condition and to the pack, rather than living as tickets in a separate log.

Handover Governance holds pack release until the evidence is present. Pack release, journey-stage visibility and resident access stay closed until the configured evidence is present. An incomplete plot does not become a live resident record. The occupant then opens the white-label app at yourcompany.guidedhome.co, or the Apple and Android apps, and sees only what the operator has released.

What teams measure

Guided Home programmes show 49% fewer handover errors, 60% less handover administration, 100% documentation completeness at transfer, and 94.4% customer satisfaction. Trusted by Places for People, Latimer, Bargate, Durkan, City & Country, and many more.

Questions teams actually ask

What is a home handover product?

A home handover product is the system a housebuilder, housing association or BTR operator uses to take a plot from reservation to occupation and through aftercare, with evidence of what was released, to whom, and when. Most products sold under that name are a digital pack, a snagging app, or a resident portal. Those are surfaces. Guided Home is the governed record behind them: Handover Governance for the operator, and a white-label resident app at yourcompany.guidedhome.co plus Apple and Android apps for the occupant.

Is a home handover product the same as a digital handover pack?

No. A digital pack is a set of files on completion day. It does not prove those files were complete, versioned, or accessed. The thing that transfers liability is the record that validates the pack, holds pack release until the evidence is present, and keeps the evidence after keys move.

Does a home handover product replace a CRM or a defects log?

Guided Home does not replace a CRM. Organisations that already have a CRM, a defects log, or a portal still cannot evidence completeness from those tools alone. The governed record sits alongside them and ties inspections, documents and defects to one plot.

What is the difference between Handover Governance and the resident app?

Handover Governance is the operator platform. Sales, Customer Care and Delivery decide what is released, to whom, and when. The resident surface is the white-label app homeowners and tenants open at yourcompany.guidedhome.co, plus Apple and Android apps. They are not the same product.

Who should buy a home handover product?

Multi-site housebuilders, registered providers and BTR operators whose delivery, customer care and asset teams must prove the journey to NHQC, the New Homes Ombudsman, or the board. It is not a single-site pack PDF, a consumer home-moving app, or a CX skin with no stage readiness. Partnership, S106 and bulk transfers sit in Deal Room. Scheme onboarding and offboarding for property managers, managing agents, block managers and operators sits in Guided Mobilise, a different product.

Is Guided Mobilise a home handover product?

No. Guided Mobilise is a different product on the same platform. It is for property managers, managing agents, block managers and operators who mobilise new schemes and offboard schemes they no longer manage. The home handover product on this page is Handover Governance for the operator, plus the white-label resident app at yourcompany.guidedhome.co. Scheme transfer is not the occupier journey.
