HomeScout
First to see it, first to rent it
HomeScout collects listings from Rightmove, Zoopla and OpenRent in one place and messages you within a minute of a new flat going live. No new app to install — it runs inside the chat app you already use.
What the bot does
Five things, all of them inside a chat thread.
Three platforms, one feed
Listings from Rightmove, Zoopla and OpenRent collected in one place, so there is nothing left to check manually.
Filter by travel time
Search by area, by postcode, or by how long it takes to reach a point you choose — your office, for example, door to door.
Duplicates removed
When the same flat is posted on several platforms, you see it once instead of three times.
Alerts within a minute
A notification arrives within a minute of publication, usually sooner. Early enough to be first in the agent's inbox.
Over ten filters available
Price, bedrooms, bathrooms and more, so the feed stays close to what you would actually rent.
Set up in a chat, in about a minute
Open the bot, answer a few questions about the flat you want, and leave it running. Nothing to install, nothing to log into.
Three days free, then £15 a month
Every new search starts with full access for three days. After that you can keep it, or drop to the free plan.
Where you land once the trial ends, if you do nothing.
One payment a month. Cancel in the chat whenever you sign a tenancy.
Questions renters ask us
Do I need to install anything?
No. HomeScout is a bot inside Telegram or WhatsApp, so it lives in the chat list you already open every day.
What happens after the free trial?
The first three days are full access. After that it is £15 a month to keep everything, or you stay on the free plan, which sends 10% of the flats that match your filters.
How many alerts will I get?
That depends on your filters. A typical search sends a handful a day, and you can tighten or widen it at any point in the chat.
Do you charge fees or sit between me and the agent?
Never. Every alert links to the original listing and you deal with the agent or landlord directly.
