Setting up your purchase

6 min read

Enter your deposit, lending limit and target completion date once on the Dashboard. Every other page in the tracker reads from it, so nothing needs typing twice.

  1. 01Open the Dashboard and fill in the input fields. Anything shown as a calculated total updates itself — you never type over it.
  2. 02Set your absolute ceiling price, not your comfortable price — the affordability figures work backwards from it.
  3. 03Add your target completion date. The milestone tracker builds chase dates from this.
  4. 04Add a property entry for each address you are seriously considering, and switch between them from the same screen.

Using the survey defect register

8 min read

How to turn a level 2 or level 3 survey into a costed, prioritised list you can actually negotiate with.

  1. 01Log each finding as its own line — never group them, or you lose the ability to price them.
  2. 02Set urgency: immediate, within 12 months, or monitor. Only immediate items belong in a renegotiation.
  3. 03Enter an indicative cost. Use a trade quote where you have one, and the built-in rate guide where you don't.
  4. 04Print the filtered immediate-items view as your evidence pack for the agent.
