London Property Hunt — Automated with Claude Cowork

An AI-powered workflow that searches London rental platforms twice a day, tracks listings in a spreadsheet, generates personalised outreach messages, and emails you a formatted summary — fully automatically.

Example output

Every run sends you an email like this — clickable listings, ready-to-send outreach messages, and a backlog of uncontacted leads:

What it does

1. Searches 4 platforms — SpareRoom, OpenRent, Rightmove, Zoopla — across your target areas
2. Deduplicates against your tracker spreadsheet (URL-based, O(1) lookup)
3. Prioritises listings as HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW based on your criteria
4. Generates personalised outreach .txt files for every HIGH priority listing
5. Emails you a summary with clickable cards, ready-to-send messages, and a backlog of uncontacted leads

Runs on a cron schedule (e.g. 9 AM and 6 PM daily). Human effort required: zero between runs.
