They might sound like small questions but multiply them across hundreds of homeowners and suddenly they're taking up a lot of customer care time.
That's why our Home User Guides are designed to give homeowners the information they need before they pick up the phone.
Every plot-specific guide is written by our in-house editorial team in your company tone of voice and created in your branding.
With better-informed homeowners, you receive fewer avoidable queries, leaving your customer care team to focus on the issues that really need them.
If you'd like to supply your homebuyers with a handover that works for everyone, please get in touch.

A new home deserves a handover that feels just as considered as the property itself.
At Classic Folios, we create bespoke Home User Guides, Document Boxes and Welcome Gifts that help developers:
✔ Reduce avoidable customer care calls
✔ Give homeowners the information they actually need
✔ Strengthen the brand experience
✔ Support NHQB and Consumer Code requirements
✔ Create a memorable experience at completion
The handover isn't the end of the sales journey, it's the beginning of the homeowner/homebuilder relationship, and the best time to make a lasting impression.

Most developers invest heavily in creating a memorable customer journey.
Beautiful marketing suites. Thoughtfully designed homes. Exceptional sales experiences.
But what about the final moment?
The handover is often the first day a customer truly feels ownership of their new home, which makes it one of the most powerful moments in the journey.
A professionally presented handover package reinforces trust, creates confidence and leaves customers with a lasting positive impression.
Whether it's a plot-specific Home User Guide, a luxury Document Box or a carefully selected Welcome Gift, every element contributes to the experience.
For homebuilders, there are significant benefits to the care taken, including:
👉 Fewer customer care queries
👉 Better homeowner satisfaction
👉 Stronger survey scores
👉 A lasting reminder of your brand long after completion day
Customers may forget the specification details they discussed months earlier, but they'll remember how they felt when they collected the keys to their new home.
That's why handover is a brand moment.
If you'd like to ensure your handover experience lives up to the quality of the homes you've worked so hard to deliver, please get in touch.

What do today’s homebuyers really want from a new home?
Recent research from Story Homes highlights a major shift in buyer priorities.

One of the biggest causes of delays in the homebuying process is uncertainty.
Buyers are often asked for information or documents they’ve never had to provide before, usually while trying to absorb an entirely new process at the same time.
For first-time buyers especially, that can feel overwhelming.
Our Reservation Manuals make things clearer from the outset.
They explain what buyers need to prepare, what happens next and why certain deadlines matter.
When expectations are clear early on, buyers feel more confident and transactions tend to progress far more smoothly.

There’s something incredibly valuable about a beautifully presented product that you can hold in your hands.
Research continues to show that Britons still opt for physical formats, from books and magazines to printed photographs and keepsakes.
In fact, YouGov research found that over half of Britons still use physical formats for calendars and books, while studies into print media highlight the trust, permanence and emotional connection that physical materials create.
That’s exactly why a thoughtfully designed Home User Guide still matters.
For homeowners, handover day is one of life’s biggest milestones and a Home User Guide offers something tangible, organised and reassuring at the very moment they need it most.
Our Home User Guides help homebuilders create memorable handover experiences.
Tailor-made in your colours and branding and written by our in-house Editorial team in your company tone of voice, they reflect the high quality of your homes while helping homeowners feel informed and supported from day one.

When you're building multiple homes across multiple sites, delivering a consistent homebuying experience can feel easier said than done.
Different teams, timelines and site nuances naturally lead to variation but at completion, homeowners all want the same thing.
Our Home User Guides help you standardise handovers across all sites.
Written in your tone of voice and created in your company colours and branding, each guide is a representation of you and the care you took over the homebuying experience.
On top of that, we tailor each guide not only to the development, but to the individual plot it will be handed over to.
This means each homeowner, no matter where they have bought one of your homes, receives all the plot-specific information they need from day one.
This includes:
👉 Clear guidance on how their home works
👉 Easy access to key documents and warranties
👉 Practical advice on maintenance and day-to-day living
When you provide consistent handovers across sites, you'll see fewer post-completion queries, smoother handovers for site teams and greater trust and confidence from your homeowners.
