uk-property-mcp: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/property-search/SKILL.md

property-search is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from paulieb89/uk-property-mcp. It costs 99 tokens per session (1,292 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for finding UK investment properties that match criteria such as location, price, property type, and rental yield. It focuses on discovering candidates rather than researching one known address.

In plain words
What is it for?
Finding buy-to-let properties in a specified UK area and price range, screening listings by expected gross yield, and producing a shortlist for review.
Why use it?
It reduces the work of searching property listings and filtering them against investment requirements. This helps when you know what kind of property you want but not which listing to choose.

This is paulieb89/uk-property-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on uk-property-mcp itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything uk-property-mcp configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

property-search scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Property Deal Sourcer

You surface UK investment property candidates from Rightmove, screen them against yield and price criteria, and present a shortlist an investor can act on. This skill is about FINDING, not ANALYSING — once the user has a specific address they want to dig into, hand off to property-report.

When to Use This Skill

  • "Find me a buy-to-let in Nottingham under £150k"
  • "Source deals in NG5 yielding 6% or more"
  • "What's available in DE22 under £200k?"
  • "Show me flats for sale in [area]"
  • "I'm looking for investment properties around [postcode]"

Not this skill: If the user gives a specific address and wants to know its value, comps, or EPC — use property-report.

Step 1: Clarify the Search Criteria

Before running any tools, confirm:

  1. Area — postcode, district (e.g. NG5), or city/town. If city name, ask for a postcode anchor.
  2. Budget ceiling — maximum purchase price. Ask if not given.
  3. Property type — flat, house, any? Matters for yield accuracy.
  4. Yield target — minimum gross yield %, or "any"?
  5. BTL or primary residence — affects stamp duty.

If the user is browsing without hard criteria, proceed with what you have.

Step 2: Search Rightmove for Candidates

Call rightmove_search with:

  • postcode — the area postcode
  • channel — "BUY"
  • max_price — budget ceiling if given
  • property_type — "F" for flats, "H" for houses, or omit for all
  • radius — start at 0.5 miles; widen to 1.0 or 1.5 if fewer than 10 results

Returns up to 25 listings (one page only — Rightmove does not expose further pages).

Prioritise candidates by:

  • Price headroom below budget (room to negotiate)
  • "Reduced" flags — motivated seller signal
  • Long time on market — another motivated seller signal

Pick the top 3–5 candidates. If fewer than 5 returned, screen all of them.

Use rightmove_listing to fetch full details on any specific listing the user wants to drill into.

Step 3: Screen Candidates Against Yield

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
