ChatGPT is a strong fit when you want the property research packaged into a structured buying decision document — something you can review with a partner, solicitor, or financial adviser.

Steps

Once connected (see setup above), use the Real Estate Data tool:

  1. Provide the property address, asking price, and your key buying criteria.
  2. Run `search_listings` via real-estate to pull comparable properties.
  3. Run `property_valuation` for the address to get an independent valuation.
  4. Ask ChatGPT to compile the data into a buying decision brief — valuation, comparables, risks, and a recommended offer range.

Example Prompt

Try this with ChatGPT using the Real Estate Data tool
Use real-estate to research 42 Maple Street, Bristol, asking £425,000. Pull comparable listings and an independent valuation, then produce a two-page buying decision brief I can review with my partner covering whether the price is fair, key risks, and a recommended offer strategy.

Tips

  • A structured brief is easier to review with a solicitor or mortgage broker than raw data.
  • Include your must-have criteria — minimum beds, commute distance — so the comparables are filtered correctly.
  • Ask ChatGPT to flag any valuation-to-asking-price gaps that are outside the normal range for the area.
