A digital property logbook is a structured, shareable record of a home: its work history, certificates and condition, kept current and handed on at sale. Tradelynx provides one as the HomeLynx Passport, where entries come from completed work recorded by verified tradespeople and confirmed by the homeowner, each carrying a stated evidence grade rather than an uploaded claim.
A logbook is only worth what its evidence supports
Records from work, not uploads
An entry you can trace
What the record holds
And for every year before it
The UK government’s home buying and selling reform roadmap sets out a move towards trusted property information being available earlier in a transaction, with digital logbooks and sale packs as the vehicle. The questions a buyer’s conveyancer asks, through the TA6 form and the BASPI upfront information standard, are questions a current logbook already answers. A dated, verifiable copy of a HomeLynx Passport can be issued to a buyer, an estate agent, a conveyancer or a lender, stating what it includes and what it does not.

The five that come up most
What is a digital property logbook?
A structured, shareable record of a home: the work done to it, its certificates and its condition, kept current over time and handed on when the property is sold. The UK government's home buying and selling reform roadmap names digital logbooks as a way to share trusted property information earlier in a sale.
How is the HomeLynx Passport different from a document store?
Most logbooks hold documents the owner uploads. HomeLynx entries are generated from completed work: the tradesperson records the job, the homeowner confirms it, and the entry carries a stated evidence grade. Owner-added entries are labelled as the owner's own record and never presented as verified.
What does the record hold?
Work history with evidence grades, the property's EPC drawn from the official register, gas safety and electrical inspection records, installed items with their warranties, and a maintenance calendar. Where a certificate has a public register, the record links to it.
Who can see it?
The owner. Sharing is the owner's act, entry by entry, and a shared copy states what it does and does not include. A dated, verifiable copy can be issued to a buyer, an estate agent, a conveyancer or a lender.
Is it free?
Yes. The HomeLynx Passport is free for homeowners. Tradelynx earns from professional and enterprise products, not from the homeowner's record.
