Managing Paperwork Sucks – For Your Home(s)

17th April, 2021

Today I have experienced how frustrating it is to deal with mismanaged household paperwork - knowing that something exists, however not being able to find it. This error cost me over an hour’s worth of work as well as potentially wasting £400 in hard cash!

Five years ago, we bought a vacuum cleaner with an extended warranty - since it would be in use frequently – and everything was great until it stopped working after four and a half years. To be eligible for the warranted repair service, we had to provide the original proof of purchase as well as any associated paperwork which had unfortunately been misplaced/lost by then. We couldn’t even find the email trail confirming the purchase!

This is just one household item that should have been better managed, not to mention critical items like the gas boiler and electrics. This tiny inconvenience turned into a massive waste of time and money -  and it could've all been avoided.

Shedyt is on a mission to simplify property management by effectively superseding the home user manual to eliminate the unnecessary stress associated with managing one, to save time and money – and we especially have a keen eye on Manchester-based property developers initially.

We would love to know how other people are managing their properties, do you think it could be done better?
