Claude to run a London flat hunt from digests

Mikebmx1 used Claude Cowork to search for a London rental twice a day across SpareRoom, OpenRent, Rightmove and Zoopla. The agent excluded unsuitable student listings and larger shared houses, prioritized the preferred areas and wrote personalized outreach for suitable properties.

The output was an email digest that could be acted on from a phone. In the author's replies, each advertisement received its own message, usable through Gmail or the site's messaging interface. He reports putting down a deposit on a one-bedroom flat within his high-priority areas after about five days. Viewings remained a human task.

The public technical artifact makes the digest workflow easier to copy. It separates rooms from studios and one-bedroom flats, records listings in a spreadsheet and skips URLs already present. High-priority cards include price, area, availability and a ready-to-send message; older uncontacted candidates can return in a backlog section.

The author reports a Pro subscription plus about $40 of extra usage for the repeated searches. The precise rent and deposit amount are not disclosed, so the claim that the flat cost what others wanted for a room cannot become a verified saving. The current published skill documents the reusable process, while the dated Reddit post supplies the actual search and deposit account.
