The Challenge

UK renters struggle to compare properties across multiple marketplaces, with no easy way to assess if a listing is fairly priced. Government rent data exists but is buried in hard-to-access datasets, and council tax information requires separate lookups for each property.

What We Built

Built a unified search engine that aggregates listings from major UK rental platforms in real-time. Integrated government rent statistics to show area averages, added automated council tax estimation, and developed a deal rating algorithm that scores each property against local market data.

Why It Matters

Empowers UK renters to make informed decisions by providing transparent, data-driven insights that were previously scattered across multiple government databases and property platforms.
