What can a homeowner do with Tradelynx, and what does it cost?

It is free; no lead fee, no charge to be introduced.

2. What it costs

Free. There is no charge to claim, keep or share a HomeLynx Passport, and no fee to request work.

Every price on this page is resolved from the one pricing source at the moment the page is served; a line charges only when it is priced, activated and above its data threshold, and until then it says so.

3. Where the data comes from

4. What it does not do

Questions homeowners ask

Is the HomeLynx Passport free?

Yes. Claiming, keeping and sharing a HomeLynx Passport is free, and so is asking for a tradesperson: there is no fee and no commission. You pay your tradesperson for the work, and card or bank processing on their invoice is passed on at cost.

Which homes can have a Passport?

Any home with a UK postcode. Facts from the official registers cover England and Wales; homes in Scotland and Northern Ireland are pointed to their own energy certificate registers.

Who can see my home's record?

Nobody until you choose. You can share a code that also needs your postcode, choose for each entry whether it is shared, invite a partner or co-owner for a set time, and approve, decline or withdraw any request to see the record.

What happens to the Passport when I sell?

You can hand it to the buyer: the building's record moves to them, your personal data stays with you, and every sharing consent ends at the transfer.

Can I add work that was done before I joined?

Yes. Add past work with a photo of the receipt. It is marked Unconfirmed until it is evidenced, and Unconfirmed entries are left out of reports to third parties.
