NEW HOME SYSTEMS CHECKLIST

A new property comes with systems you may need urgently long before you understand them: water isolation, consumer unit, heating controls, meters, gas isolation, smoke and carbon-monoxide alarms, broadband equipment and emergency contacts.

FREE / NEXT STEP

HOME SYSTEMS CHECK

Check whether the important shut-offs, controls, meters and contacts in this property are actually known and recorded.

RUN THE FREE CHECK

WHAT TO DO WITH THIS

Walk the property once in normal conditions and record locations, labels and relevant service contacts. The goal is not DIY repair; it is knowing what is where and who to call.

LIMITS / SAFETY

Photograph labels only when useful, avoid recording sensitive security information publicly, and keep the completed record where the household can access it.
