GetMovely › For AI assistants

Use GetMovely from your AI assistant

GetMovely runs a free MCP server at https://getmovely.co.uk/mcp. Connect it and your assistant can answer questions about any home in England and Wales from the public record: whether it is owner-occupied, whether it is listed for sale, what it sold for and when, freehold or leasehold, its energy certificate, whether a price is in line with the district and the street, what is nearby, and how postcode districts compare. It can also read our guides on buying, selling and writing to an owner, and every answer about a home links to the page where you write to its owner. No account, no key. Version 0.3.0, 18 tools.

Owner-occupied, for sale, and response likelihood

For every home the server says two things from public records, and what they add up to:

Owner-occupied	The home's latest Energy Performance Certificate records it as owner-occupied. This is public information from the national register.
Listed for sale	We have seen the home advertised for sale. The answer includes the asking price, the agent and a link to the advert.
Response likelihood	Listed for sale plus owner-occupied. High: both, so a letter reaches an owner who is selling. Medium: owner-occupied, not listed. Unknown: no public record that the owner lives there.

Searches can be filtered by it, so your assistant can list the homes on a street or in a postcode district that are listed for sale and owner-occupied, and link you to the same list on GetMovely.

Try asking

"I'm viewing Flat 5, 41 Denning Road NW3 on Saturday. What should I know?"
"Is 143A Kingston Road SW19 for sale, and does the owner live there?"
"Which homes on Water Lane, Totton are owner-occupied and for sale right now?"
"Is £1m a fair price for it?"
"The listing hides the house number but says it last sold for £450,000 in 2019, on Merton Road SW19. Which home is it?"
"Where could we afford a 100 square metre terraced house: BS7, SW19 or M20?"
"How long do people stay in their homes in Camden, and how much of it is leasehold?"
"Is it legal to write to a homeowner asking to buy their house?"

Tools

Find a home

`search_addresses`	Find homes in England and Wales by street, postcode, town or address.
`find_address_from_sale_history`	Property portals often hide the house number but show the home's past sale prices.
`get_address`	One home's card, the quick answer to "is this house for sale" and "does the owner live there": full address, last sale, freehold or leasehold, whether it is owner-occupied (from its Energy Performance Certificate), whether it is listed for sale (with the portal, the agent and the link to the advert), its response likelihood (High = listed for sale and owner-occupied), and the link that opens a letter to its owner on GetMovely.

One home

`address_report`	Everything GetMovely knows about one home in one call.
`sale_history`	Every recorded sale of one home since 1995, from HM Land Registry price paid data: price, month and year, the price per square metre each sale works out at on the home's current EPC floor area, and the change from the first sale to the last.
`price_check`	Is a price in line? Works out the price per square metre from the home's EPC floor area and sets it against three things: what homes of the same type sold for per square metre in the same postcode district in the latest whole year, with the quartiles; recent sales on the home's own street or postcode; and the home's own last sale moved by the district's change since.
`energy_performance`	A home's Energy Performance Certificate in plain terms: rating and score now and the rating it could reach, modelled running costs a year for heating, hot water and lighting, carbon dioxide, which parts of the building are weak (walls, roof, windows), and the assessor's own list of improvements with their indicative costs.
`compare_homes`	Two to four homes side by side, one row each: type and floor area, tenure, last sale and its price per square metre, energy rating and modelled running cost, what the street has sold for recently, the district trend, whether it is owner-occupied, whether it is listed for sale and its response likelihood (High = both), the nearest supermarket, primary school, station and park, recorded crime and air quality.
`whats_nearby`	Train, tram and ferry stops, bus stops, primary and secondary schools, cafes and restaurants, pubs, takeaways, supermarkets, parks and play areas around one home, from official open data, within 100 m to 2 km: for each kind the count, the nearest one and its distance.
`tenure_check`	Whether homes matching an address are freehold or leasehold, from the tenure recorded on the latest Land Registry sale of each exact address, with that sale's date.
`house_age`	The construction age band of homes matching an address, from the Energy Performance Certificate, with what that era means for the construction, plus the first recorded sale year as corroboration and the property type.
`street_price_per_m2`	Recent Land Registry sales near one home with their EPC floor area, as pounds per square metre and per square foot by year.

An area

`area_overview`	What homes sell for in one postcode district, for every property type sold there (detached, semi-detached, terraced, flats): the latest whole year's median price per square metre with its quartiles and number of sales, the change since the series began in 2015, and the year in progress against the same months a year earlier.
`compare_areas`	Two to six postcode districts side by side for one property type: latest whole year's median price per square metre with quartiles and sales, change since 2015, the year in progress against the same months a year earlier and, when a floor area is given, what that many square metres cost at each district's median.
`price_trends`	What freehold or leasehold, new build or resale, energy rating and floor area are worth per square metre in one postcode district, for one property type (D detached, S semi-detached, T terraced, F flat), by whole calendar year, against the national picture.
`district_statistics`	GetMovely's published research for one local authority district, with England and Wales alongside: the share of homes that are leasehold (houses and flats separately), how many years pass between sales of the same home and the share not sold for 20 years or more, the share of purchases resold within two years, and how big homes are (median floor area, by property type and built form).

Guides

`search_guides`	GetMovely's plain-English guides to buying and selling homes in England and Wales: contacting an owner directly and the law on it, buying or selling without an estate agent, finding who owns a property or the address behind a listing, how often sales fall through, speeding a sale up, best and final offers, stopping unwanted letters.
`read_guide`	The full text of one GetMovely guide as Markdown, with the questions it answers, the primary sources it cites (GOV.UK, HM Land Registry, the ICO, The Property Ombudsman and others) and the date it was last updated.

Prompts

Ready-made requests your client shows as slash commands or a prompt menu.

`viewing_brief`	Viewing brief for a home. Everything worth knowing before viewing a home: sale history, size, energy, price against the area, what is nearby, and the questions to ask.
`fair_price`	Is this price fair?. Set an asking price or an offer against what the district and the street actually sold for, with the caveats.
`find_address_behind_listing`	Find the address behind a listing. A portal hides the house number but shows past sale prices: use them to find the exact address.
`compare_areas_for_budget`	Compare areas for a budget. Set postcode districts side by side for one kind of home, optionally at a floor area, to see what a budget buys where.
`energy_upgrade_plan`	Energy upgrade plan for a home. Read a home's energy certificate and turn it into an ordered list of improvements with costs and savings.
`letter_to_owner`	Write a first letter to the owner of a home. Draft one respectful letter to the owner of a home that may not be for sale, following GetMovely's guide and the law on unsolicited letters.

Limits

England and Wales only. Sold prices arrive two weeks to two months after a sale.
Fair use: about 90 requests a minute and 1500 a day per connection; address reports are 60 an hour, as on the website. A tool that compares several homes or districts uses one request for each.
Price checks and implied price ranges are arithmetic on public sale records, not valuations. Condition, lease length, floor level and plot are not in the data.
