Track the shared assets neighbours have to look after.

It is software for a small group of households that share something the council does not maintain. People often call that an unadopted road, a private lane, a shared borehole, a well, a septic tank, a cesspit, or “the system on our deeds”. Wardenry keeps the costs, records and contacts in one place so neighbours are not relying on a WhatsApp group or a spreadsheet.

Wardenry is for the neighbour who already organises shared assets in England: the person who chases bills, tests, servicing or repairs for a group of about 2 to 30 homes. Other residents can pay or check records from a link, without having to install an app.

Any shared infrastructure or asset the group has to pay for, service and keep records of. That includes unadopted and private roads, shared boreholes, springs and wells, septic tanks, cesspools, treatment plants, soakaways, remaining private sewers, oil or LPG tanks, small heat networks, private lighting and a shared driveway or access. If you look after it together, it belongs here.

No. Block management tools such as Fixflo or Manage Your Block are built for professional managers of flats and estates. Wardenry is for self-organised groups of neighbours who share private infrastructure or assets. It does not replace a managing agent.

Wardenry records the agreed split — equally, by percentage, or by use — then sends each household a payment request for their share. That covers emptying a septic tank or cesspool (often called a cesspit), servicing a package treatment plant, or clearing a soakaway. People can pay from an email or text link. Shares for that job are gathered in one place, then paid to the supplier or to the neighbour who already settled the invoice.

Under the Environment Agency’s general binding rules, owners of a shared septic system are jointly responsible as operators. Groups should keep evidence of servicing by a registered waste carrier. The same record-keeping helps for a shared cesspool, treatment plant or soakaway. Wardenry stores those records with dates and reminders. It is a record of what the group has agreed, not legal advice.

Many private sewers and pumping stations that connected to the public sewer were taken over by water companies. Groups still share what was not adopted: drains and pumping stations that serve a septic tank or treatment plant, soakaways, and some remaining private sewers. Neighbours who use the system are usually jointly responsible for repairs. Wardenry helps split that cost and keep the records. It does not interpret the deeds.

Groups that share a borehole, spring or well should keep test results, a simple plan of the supply from source to tap, and servicing of treatment such as filters or ultraviolet light. Local authorities inspect many shared supplies. Wardenry stores those records with dates and reminders. It is a record of what the group has agreed, not legal advice.

The owners of properties that front onto it — called frontagers — usually share the cost of the road surface, pothole repairs, surface-water drains and, where it is private, street lighting. A residents’ association or one neighbour often organises the work. Wardenry records the agreed split, collects shares for a job, and keeps receipts. It does not interpret the deeds.

Yes, if the group of households on that road, lane or private street has to pay for repairs themselves. People also search for a private road, a shared access, or frontagers’ costs. Wardenry is for self-organised neighbours, not for a professional managing agent running a large estate.

Yes. A shared borehole, spring or well is a private water supply. Neighbours still need to split pump and treatment costs, keep test results, and show a buyer what has been done. Wardenry holds those records and payment requests in one place.

A frontager is an owner whose property fronts onto a private or unadopted road and who usually shares the cost of keeping it up. The same idea applies to a shared driveway or access. Wardenry records who pays what. It does not interpret the deeds.

The group agrees a split — equally, by frontage, or another rule — then each household pays their share for that job. Wardenry sends the payment requests, shows who has paid, and can pay the road contractor or the neighbour who already settled the invoice.

Yes. A cesspit is the everyday word many people use for a cesspool. The same applies to a shared septic tank or package treatment plant. Wardenry helps split emptying costs, keep tanker receipts, and show a buyer what has been done.

When a house is sold, the seller has to tell the buyer about shared systems in writing. Wardenry can produce a pack of what is shared, recent costs, maintenance history, tests, agreements and contacts. It does not replace the legal documents.

When a house that shares a system is sold, the seller must tell the buyer about it in writing. Wardenry can generate a pack covering the shared assets, cost rules, recent costs, maintenance history, test results, agreements and contacts, as a PDF and a link. It does not replace the legal documents.

For a specific job, yes: each household’s share is collected and held for that job through Stripe, then paid out when you are ready. Wardenry is not a bank and does not keep a standing savings pot. Money is gathered for the work at hand, then paid to whoever should receive it.

The person or firm the group chooses for that job. That might be a septic emptying firm, an oil merchant, a heating engineer, a water tester, a road contractor, or the neighbour who already paid the invoice and needs to be paid back. Everyone can see the split and who has paid.

Yes. There will be an Android app and an iOS app, as well as the website. The app is for the organiser and for anyone who wants more. Neighbours who only need to pay or vote can still do that from an email or text link, without installing anything.
