YellowLabs launches free home maintenance app
for Kiwis
New Zealand homeowners now have a clever way to manage their most valuable asset and get the help they need to maintain it, with the launch of Yellow/home – the first mobile app from YellowLabs.
The free app retrieves the most up-to-date local council information about the user’s property including council value, estimated market value and the size of the property. It also creates a personalised maintenance plan based on information specific to the house, allowing homeowners to keep on top of caring for their home.
The app provides useful DIY tips on how and when to complete maintenance jobs and recommends businesses to get them done by tapping into the 240,000 Rich Profiles* on Yellow Online.
Yellow Chief Executive, Michael Boersen says Yellow/home is the first tool created by YellowLabs to help New Zealanders manage their lives more easily.
“We
know property is important to Kiwis. Whether it’s the
family home or an investment property, for most of us it’s
the biggest investment we’ll ever make.
Yellow/home has
been created to help home owners easily protect the value of
their home for years to come.
“Like all YellowLabs tools, it’s been designed to be learnt from as people use it. YellowLabs is about inventing and creating together, so as people are using it we’ll be improving it.”
App functionality includes the ability to:
•
Get all the information about your home in one place
including: council value, estimated market value, property
and house size, the decade the house was built and the
materials it is built from
• Get a personalised
maintenance plan for your home
• Personalise
your maintenance plan further by adding tasks, notes and
photos
• Set up alerts so you don’t miss the
basics e.g. checking smoke alarms
• Quickly find
businesses near you that can help with your maintenance
plans by tapping into Rich Profiles
• Easily
contact the local services you need.
