AI BriefingAutomating London Apartment Hunting in 5 Days
Key point
This is a case study of automating a London rental search with Claude Cowork, finding a listing in just 5 days.
Details
Automated London rental search using Claude Code integrated with MCP.
A workflow that runs twice daily searches 4 platforms—SpareRoom, OpenRent, Rightmove, and Zoopla—and performs URL-based deduplication against existing entries in a spreadsheet.
Listings are then classified into HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW based on criteria, and personalized outreach .txt files are generated for HIGH priority listings. Finally, a clickable summary email is sent via Gmail organizing current results and uncontacted leads.
The components needed for setup are also specified in detail.
- Claude Code or the desktop app
- Claude in Chrome MCP extension
- Gmail MCP connector
- Python 3 + openpyxl
Execution can be scheduled via cron, with an example set to run twice a day at 9 AM and 6 PM. The repository includes a README.md, skill.md, config.example.md, case-study.md, and tracker/ structure, along with an actual output example email preview.
