These networks are like Facebook for the owners of one house. Insane???
Facebook offers some very useful tools: chat, message, polls, photos, videos etc. ... but using this service, members can use all those tools, but in confidence about issues that relate just to their house.
The functionality becomes. even more useful if the owners are not resident.
Of course WhatApp is a useful tool for communication on such a local level, but you can't file documents, plan events and apply different levels of access for members.
This, unlike Facebook or WhatsApp is a tool that is entirely dedicated to assisting the management of a single house
Let's look at the kind of things such a network can provide:-
- Structured forums to discuss issues and plans for the house.
- A document library for leases, insurance certificates, quotations, contracts etc.
- Live view of service charge bank account.
- A photo or video gallery for the house and its apartments .. a very useful resource for DIY letting with service like OpenRent, or obtaining quotes for building works.
- An events calendar for social events or to notify neighbours of periods of holiday absence.
- Secure documents providing access codes for gates, keystores,
