When someone asks about a property's past, whether it's a buyer, an insurer or a new manager, the question is usually simple. What's been inspected? What's been fixed? Who has been there and when? The answers exist, but they're scattered across reports, invoices, texts and calendars, and putting them in order takes an afternoon. A property history worth keeping does that work as you go. Pull up any address and every inspection, every repair and every visit is already there, in sequence, with the photos that go with them. This guide covers what makes a property history complete and why it's worth building from the first job. If you want a history that builds itself, book a demo.

What Makes a History Worth Keeping
It is in order
Events appear in the sequence they happened, so you can see how a problem developed and how it was handled.
It has evidence
Photos and timestamps stay with each entry, so the history proves what it records.
It covers every kind of event
Inspections, repairs and visits live together, instead of each in its own separate document.
It builds itself
Entries are added as work happens, so no one has to write it up later from memory.
Who Asks for It
Buyers want to know how a property has been looked after. Insurers and warranty providers want proof that maintenance was done. A new manager or an owner taking over wants to get up to speed without calling around. Each of them is asking the same thing, and a single ordered record answers all of them at once, without you having to assemble a different pack each time.
How a Full History Helps in Practice
Selling or refinancing
A buyer or lender can see how the property has been looked after, which supports the price and speeds up due diligence.
Insurance and warranty claims
Dated entries with photos give you proof of maintenance without a scramble to find old paperwork.
Handing over management
A new manager can read the history to get up to speed, instead of calling around to piece it together.
Tenant questions
When a tenant asks what condition something was in, the record shows it as it was on the day.
Start the History on the Next Job
There is no need to backfill years of records before the history is useful. Begin with the next inspection, repair or visit, and every entry after that makes the record more valuable. Older events can be added later, starting with the ones that matter most.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I filter the history to show only repairs or only inspections?
Yes, the history can be filtered by type, so you can look at just the repairs or just the inspections when that is all you need.
Can I share a property's history with someone outside my team?
Yes, a property's history can be shared, for example with a buyer, an insurer or a new manager, so they can see the record without you rebuilding it.
What about work done before I started using this?
Older events can be added with whatever documentation you have, and the history builds forward automatically from there.
Can entries be changed or deleted afterwards?
Entries can be corrected where needed, while original photos and timestamps stay attached, so the history remains a trustworthy record of what actually happened.
