The Move-In Day Reality Today
You finally receive the keys from the estate agent. You step inside your new home with boxes and family in tow. Then the questions begin:
- "Where is the Wi-Fi password?" — usually scribbled on an old router sticker under a bed.
- "Why isn't the heating turning on?" — the Hive or Nest thermostat is still linked to the seller's mobile app.
- "Who holds the boiler guarantee?" — and was it properly serviced to keep the 10-year manufacturer warranty valid?
- "What is the alarm code?" — and is it about to trigger while you unload the moving van?
The DeedBox Move-In Experience
With DeedBox, your digital property pack unlocks the moment completion funds clear across client accounts. Open your phone and immediately access your heating schedules, home Wi-Fi, alarm codes, and appliance guarantees.
Pre-Completion Document Inspection
Before completion, you and your conveyancer can inspect automatically anonymised renditions of critical property documents: Gas Safe certificates, electrical inspection reports (EICR), FENSA window guarantees, and appliance warranties.
You can verify installation dates, serial numbers, and warranty coverage ahead of time. When both conveyancers confirm completion, full unredacted originals unlock automatically for your permanent records.

Instant Wi-Fi & Access

Smart Heating & Tech
Control the Hive, Nest, Ring, or heat pump from day one. Reset master accounts smoothly without being locked out.
Full Unredacted Documents

How It Works for You as a Buyer
1. Pre-Completion Transparency
Before completion, you can view the anonymised inventory submitted by the seller. You can verify that all promised fittings, warranties, and clean tech logins (solar battery, EV charger, heat pump) are prepared and waiting in the digital vault.
2. Zero Awkward Encounters
You don't need to ask your conveyancer or estate agent to call the seller's solicitor weeks later asking for a forgotten password. All accounts are mapped to relay addresses that now forward password resets and service notifications straight to you.
3. Clear Financial Settlement
If you agreed to purchase remaining heating oil or pay for specific white goods, the itemised Settlement Adjustment Ledger ensures calculations are accurate, backed by meter photos or invoices, and settled safely through your conveyancer's client account.
4. Sovereign UK Data Protection
Your home records are protected by bank-grade encryption in sovereign UK data centres under UK GDPR. You own your data from the moment completion takes place.
