Build the checklist around your home
Answer a short set of questions about completion, tenure, age, mortgage, garden, pets and children to generate the relevant tasks.
UK new homeowner first-year tracker
Know what to sort in every month of your first year.
Build a checklist around your completion date and the home you actually bought. Keep the setup jobs, first-year costs, renewals and reference details together from move-in day to month twelve.

The actual light-mode dashboard, shown in month four of the example first year.
More than a moving-house checklist
Turn the first year into a plan you can keep updating
The tracker connects what needs doing with when it is due, what it may cost and the home details you will need again later.
See what is due next
Work through setup, utilities, insurance, address changes, safety, repairs and furnishing in date order or month by month.
Compare the first-year budget with reality
Log moving, legal, repair, furnishing, appliance and utility costs, with a category breakdown and budget-left figure.
Keep the dates that return
Track insurance, council tax, warranties, mortgage products, safety checks and tariffs, then add them to your calendar.
Record the details worth keeping
Keep meter locations, stop-tap, fusebox, key contacts, documents and appliance details where you can find them again.
Put the month-by-month plan on the wall
Print the forward plan with tick boxes and key dates, plus a separate first-year summary for your records.
Built from your completion date
See the right jobs in the order they tend to arrive
Start with the standard UK checklist or use the plan builder to add only the tasks relevant to the home, ownership and household.
- Due dates anchored to completion
- List view or grouped month-by-month view
- Seven task categories with filters
- Estimated cost attached to an open task
- Offer to log the actual cost when a task is completed
A checklist that changes with the home
Start with your circumstances, not a generic list
The plan builder uses a short set of answers to decide which tasks and dates belong in the first year.
- Freehold or leasehold
- New-build or older home
- First-time buyer status
- Mortgage fix and end date
- Garden, pets and children
- Safe to run again without duplicating existing tasks
The real cost of getting set up
Keep estimates and actual spending connected
The Costs page shows what has been paid, where the money went and what is still expected from open tasks carrying an estimate.
- Optional overall first-year budget
- Spent, budget left and biggest category
- Still-to-spend estimate from open tasks
- Eight cost categories with filters
- CSV export for a spreadsheet copy
From the browser to the fridge
Print the first year month by month
The wall plan carries the generated checklist into a forward view with tick boxes and a separate list of renewal dates.
- Month headings tied to completion
- Open and completed tasks together
- Key renewal dates beneath the plan
- Print and pin up without recreating the list
- Separate printable first-year record
The home reference
Keep the details that are easy to forget
The reference area sits beside the first-year plan, so the details collected during move-in remain useful after the checklist is finished.

Private by design
Your home details stay on your device
The tracker runs locally in your browser. It has no account, cloud database or analytics, and it does not upload your address, costs, contacts, appliance details or document notes.
It does not sync automatically between computers or send push notifications. Export calendar files for dated reminders, and use a JSON backup when you want to move the records.
Frequently asked
Before you buy
Which computers and browsers does it work on?
It works on Windows, Mac and Linux computers in a modern version of Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox.
Does it already include a first-year checklist?
Yes. You can load the standard 21-task UK checklist or use the plan builder to generate a more tailored list from the details of your home and household.
Can I add my own tasks and renewals?
Yes. Add, edit or remove tasks, costs and renewals. You can also rerun the standard checklist or plan builder without duplicating tasks already present.
Will it send reminders to my phone?
No. An offline browser app cannot send push notifications. It can download calendar files for all upcoming tasks and renewals, or for one renewal at a time.
Can I use it for more than one property?
No. The current version is a first-year organiser for one home. It is not a landlord portfolio or multi-property management tool.
What can I print?
The wall plan groups tasks by month with tick boxes and key dates. The summary creates a separate first-year record of progress, remaining tasks, costs, renewals and home reference details.
What is included in the download?
The single-file UK New Homeowner First-Year Tracker app, a quick-start guide, and licence and support details. Etsy delivers the download after purchase.
