How it works

You describe the home. rentfeed does the checking.

Setup takes under a minute. From then on, every new London listing is read within minutes of going live and measured against what you asked for. Only the ones that fit reach you.

The setup

Three steps, one of them yours

Describe the home you want

Your budget, bedrooms and bathrooms, plus up to four places you need to be near — office, campus, gym — by public transport or bike. Anything else, from outdoor space to a proper second bedroom, you say in your own words.

We read every new listing

New listings from 1,300+ London letting agents are picked up every 10 minutes, and each one gets a proper read: the photos, the floorplan, room sizes, light and condition. Problems agents gloss over get flagged.

You get one alert that matters

A listing that clears every check lands on your phone with its match grade, the reasons it fits, your door-to-door times and the agent’s contact details. The first 10 alerts are free.

The checks

Four questions decide every listing.

Checking them by hand is the slog of renting. By the time an alert reaches you, all four have answers.

Is there a problem with the place?

The photos and floorplan get read before you do. Box rooms and the other catches agents gloss over arrive flagged in red and amber.

Is it in your commutes?

Real door-to-door times, by public transport or bike, to up to four places in your week: work, gym, campus. Outside your limits means no alert.

Does it fit your budget and bedrooms?

Hard filters. A listing over your budget or short a bedroom never reaches you.

How do you enquire?

The agent’s phone number and a one-tap enquiry link arrive with the alert, so you can act while the listing is minutes old.

Minute by minute

From listed to your lock screen.

One listing, followed from the moment an agent publishes it to the moment it interrupts you.
