property-shared 1.3.1

Pure-Python core library + FastAPI service for UK property data (PPD, EPC, Rightmove, Planning).

Property Shared

FastAPI service + pure-Python core library for UK property data. Integrates Land Registry (PPD), EPC, Rightmove, Planning portal lookup (98 councils), Stamp Duty calculator, Block Analyzer, and Companies House. Use as a library, HTTP API, CLI, or MCP server.

How to run

Dev (uv)

1. Create .env from .env.example (set EPC_API_EMAIL/EPC_API_KEY if you want EPC enabled)
2. Install deps: uv sync --extra dev
3. Run API: uv run property-api (or uv run uvicorn app.main:app --reload)
4. CLI (core mode): uv run --extra cli property-cli meta (add --api-url http://localhost:8000 to hit the running API instead of local core)
5. Demo UI: visit http://localhost:8000/demo (served by the same FastAPI app)
6. Quick checks:
   • Health: curl http://localhost:8000/v1/health
   • Integration status: curl http://localhost:8000/v1/meta/integrations
   • Rightmove: curl 'http://localhost:8000/v1/rightmove/search-url?postcode=SW1A%201AA&radius=0.25' then curl 'http://localhost:8000/v1/rightmove/listings?search_url=<pasted_url>&max_pages=1'
   • PPD address search: curl 'http://localhost:8000/v1/ppd/address-search?postcode_prefix=B1&street=Broad%20Street&limit=5'
   • PPD comps: curl 'http://localhost:8000/v1/ppd/comps?postcode=NG1%201GF&months=24&limit=5'
   • Yield analysis: curl 'http://localhost:8000/v1/analysis/yield?postcode=NG1%201AA'
   • Rental analysis: curl 'http://localhost:8000/v1/analysis/rental?postcode=NG1%201AA'

Live integration tests

Live tests make real network calls and are gated:

• Run: RUN_LIVE_TESTS=1 uv run --extra dev pytest -q -s

Fly.io (high-level)

• Set secrets: fly secrets set EPC_API_EMAIL=... EPC_API_KEY=...
• Deploy: fly deploy

Python SDK (OpenAPI)

Generate a typed client from the running service OpenAPI:

1. Run the API: uv run uvicorn app.main:app --reload
2. Generate client: uv run --extra dev openapi-python-client generate --url http://localhost:8000/openapi.json --output-path clients/python

  • planning_councils.json – verified council database (98 councils, 6 system types)
• app/ – FastAPI service wrapping property_core
  • api/v1/ – versioned routers (import directly from property_core)
  • schemas/ – API envelope models (convenience re-exports from core)
  • core/config.py – settings via pydantic-settings
• property_cli/ – Typer CLI with dual mode (core direct vs API)
• mcp_server/ – MCP server for AI hosts (12 tools wrapping property_core)
• docs/ – examples and reference documentation
• USER_GUIDE.md – quickstart and endpoint/CLI usage

Using as a library

pip install property-shared

from property_core import (
    PPDService, PropertyReportService, PlanningService,
    EPCClient, CompaniesHouseClient,
    calculate_yield, analyze_rentals, analyze_blocks, calculate_stamp_duty,
    fetch_listings, fetch_listing,
)

# Opt-in interpretation helpers (core returns raw numbers; consumers classify)
from property_core import (
    classify_yield, classify_data_quality, classify_price_position,
    estimate_value_range, generate_insights,
)

# Models available at top level
from property_core import (
    PPDTransaction, PPDCompsResponse, EPCData,
    RightmoveListing, PropertyReport, YieldAnalysis,
    BlockAnalysisResponse, CompanyRecord, StampDutyResult,
)

Local setup

1. Copy .env.example to .env and fill values (EPC keys, OPENAI_API_KEY for planning scraper)
2. Install deps: uv sync --extra dev
3. Run: uv run property-api (or uv run uvicorn app.main:app --reload)

Notes

• Transport-parsed models (PPDTransaction, EPCData, RightmoveListing, CompanyRecord, PostcodeResult) carry a raw field with original source data. Report, block, and aggregate models do not.
• Rightmove scraper has built-in rate limiting via rate_limit_seconds parameter.
• Rightmove search URLs default to a small radius (0.25 miles); override radius to widen/narrow.
• Station distances in listing details are rounded to 1 decimal place (e.g., "1.9 miles").
• Rental analysis (analyze_rentals) uses IQR-based outlier filtering by default (filter_outliers=True).
• Core services return raw numbers only. Use property_core.interpret helpers (classify_yield, classify_data_quality, generate_insights, etc.) for human-readable labels and assessments.
• See docs/examples.md for copy-paste usage examples with real output.
