Property Shared

UK property data in one package. Pulls Land Registry sales, EPC certificates, Rightmove listings, rental yields, stamp duty calculations, planning portal links, and Companies House records.

Use it as a Python library, CLI, HTTP API, or MCP server.

Use as MCP Server

No install required — paste the URL into your MCP client config and go.

Claude Code, Cursor, any MCP client:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "property-shared": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://property-shared.fly.dev/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Install

pip install property-shared

# or with uv
uv add property-shared

Extras: [cli] for CLI, [api] for HTTP server.

pip install property-shared[cli]
# or
uv add property-shared --extra cli

Use as a Python Library

from property_core import PPDService, calculate_yield, calculate_stamp_duty

# Get comparable sales for a postcode
comps = PPDService().comps("SW1A 1AA", months=24, property_type="F")
print(f"Median flat price: {comps.median:,}")

# Calculate rental yield
import asyncio
result = asyncio.run(calculate_yield("NG1 1AA", property_type="F"))
print(f"Gross yield: {result.gross_yield_pct}%")

# Stamp duty
sdlt = calculate_stamp_duty(250000, additional_property=True)
print(f"SDLT: {sdlt.total_sdlt:,.0f} ({sdlt.effective_rate}%)")

All models are available at top level:

from property_core import (
    PPDTransaction, PPDCompsResponse, EPCData,
    RightmoveListing, RightmoveListingDetail,
    PropertyReport, YieldAnalysis, RentalAnalysis,
    BlockAnalysisResponse, CompanyRecord, StampDutyResult,
)

Interpretation helpers (core returns numbers, you decide how to label them):

from property_core import classify_yield, classify_data_quality, generate_insights

Use as CLI

pip install property-shared[cli]  # or: uv add property-shared --extra cli

# Comparable sales
property-cli ppd comps "SW1A 1AA" --months 24 --property-type F

# Rental yield
property-cli analysis yield "NG1 1AA" --property-type F

# Stamp duty
property-cli calc stamp-duty 300000

# Rightmove search (with sort)
property-cli rightmove search-url "NG1 1AA" --sort-by most_reduced

# Full property report
property-cli report generate "10 Downing Street, SW1A 2AA" --property-type F

Add --api-url http://localhost:8000 to any command to route through the HTTP API instead of calling core directly.

Use as HTTP API

pip install property-shared[api]  # or: uv add property-shared --extra api
property-api  # starts on port 8000

EPC notes (v1.14.0)

The EPC service moved to a GOV.UK Bearer API. Set EPC_API_TOKEN; the old EPC_API_EMAIL/EPC_API_KEY pair authenticated against a retired host and is not a supported fallback.

What the new upstream supports, and what it does not:

• Certificate lookup by certificate number — full detail, one request.

• Summary search by postcode — returns address, UPRN (often absent), energy band, registration date and schema type. It does not return energy score, floor area or property type; those exist only on a full certificate.

• A postcode selects an area, never a property. Identifying one property needs a UPRN or an address matching a certificate exactly (case, punctuation and a leading Flat/Apartment designator aside). Anything less — no address, no match, or several matches — is refused rather than resolved to a best guess. See USER_GUIDE.md for the CLI and REST surfaces.

• Area statistics are limited to the record count and, when the bounded response contains every matching summary, the rating distribution. Property-type breakdown and floor-area statistics are reported as None — unavailable, not zero — because producing them would mean one request per certificate.

• Coverage is England and Wales. Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Channel Islands return "no certificates found": a coverage boundary, not a statement about a property.

• Pagination is not a stable snapshot. Responses carry complete, duplicates_removed and unusable_rows; no operation claims a complete harvest of an area.

• Ambiguous address matches are refused rather than resolved to an arbitrary neighbouring certificate.

search_all_by_postcode() is unsupported — use search_summaries() for candidate discovery, then get_certificate() for the one you need.

Environment Variables

Create a .env file in the repo root (it is gitignored) with the variables you need.

Leave optional variables out entirely rather than assigning them empty. KEY= sets an empty string, which is not the same as unset: os.getenv("KEY", "default") returns "", so the default never applies. This bit the EPC live tests, which sent an empty postcode upstream.

Key variables:

Land Registry PPD and Rightmove work without credentials.

Development

# Install dependencies (dev tooling installs by default via [dependency-groups])
uv sync

# Run API with reload
uv run --extra api uvicorn app.main:app --reload

# Full validation (lockfile check, pre-commit, all extras, full suite) —
# same entrypoint CI and the release gate use
./scripts/validate.sh

# + live integration tests (real network calls)
RUN_LIVE_TESTS=1 ./scripts/validate.sh
