Always know what happens next with your move
Moving home takes around five months and nobody tells you what should be happening, or when to worry.
HouseChapter tracks every stage, predicts your completion date, and tells you the exact next step. Then it runs your home admin for years after you get the keys.
No card needed. Checks work without an account.

Not just guides. Momentum.
Every part of HouseChapter exists to move you to the next step rather than explain it. Every figure on this page names its source.
No two of these move the same way
Terrace, semi, conversion, new build. Leasehold or freehold, chain or no chain. The route to completion is different for every one of them, and so is the app.
Buying a new build? We have a page just for you.
The journey
One companion, six chapters
Each chapter has its own colour in the app, so you always know roughly where you are without reading anything.

Chapter 3 · Buy & Sell
Know when to chase, and exactly what to say
Stage aware guidance gives you the one question to ask this week, and writes the email for you. The long silent middle stops being silent.
“Could you confirm whether the local authority search has been returned, and the date it was ordered?”

HouseChapter Move
£39
once, the whole move and six months after
The tracker, your documents read for you, the weekly chase, moving day and settling in.
One payment covers the move and the first six months after you complete. Nothing renews and nothing is charged automatically. After that there will be an optional ongoing HouseChapter Plus, and the details are still to come.
Not buying or selling?
One app, and the house tells it what it is
Add a house and answer one question: what will this be to you? Somewhere you live, somewhere you let, somewhere you rent, or a second home. Change the answer whenever it changes.
Free, always. Your tenancy, your deposit, your rights.
Compliance tracked per property, official guidance linked, never paraphrased.
Your home’s memory is yours. Always.
Everything you add stays readable, downloadable and exportable on the free plan, forever. Paying unlocks what HouseChapter does next, never access to what is already yours. If we ever closed, you would get your documents out first.
Never sold, never shared
Your documents live in a private vault only you can open.
Storage is never gated
Only the verified export used in a sale needs an active plan.
How we make money, in plain English
Questions people ask us
- How long does moving house take in the UK?
- Around five to six months from offer to completion. Freehold averages roughly 97 days from offer to exchange, leasehold around 155 (Connells Group, 2026).
- How is this different from Rightmove or Zoopla?
- Portals help you find a property, then leave you alone for the hardest five months. HouseChapter starts where portals stop.
- Is HouseChapter really free?
- The checks, calculators, property reports and core journey tools are free forever, and no card is required for them. The whole move, including moving day, settling in and the six months after you complete, is one payment of £39. Nothing renews.
- Do you sell my data?
- No. Your documents live in a private vault only you can access, and the free property checks work without an account.
