find_areasShortlist London neighbourhoods for a household: budget, bedrooms, weighted priorities (crime, station access, price level, official deprivation decile, noise, disorder, energy rating, leasehold share) and optional stations/boroughs to live near. Returns ranked areas with score, factor values, a bal
open_shared_searchOpen a search the user shared from the Close Knit site (a link with #profile=v1., v2. or v3.): their budget, priorities, places (gym, work, schools…), liked and ruled-out areas and private notes, re-ranked now with the same shortlist as find_areas. Use it when the user pastes such a link or says 'di
find_similar_areasNeighbourhoods like one the user liked (crime, deprivation, income, price level and station access percentiles), optionally only cheaper ones: 'like this but cheaper / elsewhere'.
get_area_overviewOne neighbourhood in detail for a decision: local market (sales, turnover, leasehold share, £/m² medians, growth), the borough's official UK HPI (hpi: average price by type, 1/5/10-year change vs London: quote this for how prices moved), £/m² price trend, crime with its offence mix (topTypes, a busy
assess_listingCheck one listing the user found against local evidence: asking price vs the neighbourhood's recorded £/m² (with floor area or a bedroom-based ballpark), turnover, growth, the borough's official HPI, costs (stamp duty on the asking price, the borough's council tax by band), crime with its offence mi
list_metricsList every area metric the active release serves (id, unit, direction, available periods, legend, provenance, caveats), plus the My match factors (kind 'factor': disorder, epc-share, leasehold-share, schools) that get_area_metric and rank_areas_by_metric also read. Call first to learn valid metric_i
search_areasResolve free text (area name, ONS code, postcode, street) to geography ids (uk:lsoa|msoa|borough:…) and, where recorded sales exist, address ids (uk:addr:…). Use the returned ids with get_area_metric, rank_areas_by_metric, get_address_history.
get_area_metricEvidence-backed value of one metric for one area in one month: value, London and England percentiles, quality, sample size, category breakdown where available, plus up to 12 prior months as evidence rows. Units follow the metric (per 1,000 residents, GBP/m2). Confidence is high only for observed (no
rank_areas_by_metricRank every served area by one metric for one month and return the top N with rank, value, unit and quality. Tied values share a rank (competition ranking); each row carries tiedCount, the number of areas sharing its value. Use it to answer 'which areas have the lowest crime / highest GBP/m2' or 'the
get_address_historyRecorded achieved sale prices for one address id (HM Land Registry Price Paid, GBP, with the EPC floor area where matched; no per-sale GBP/m2). These are historic transactions, never valuations or asking prices. listingLinks open the postcode on Rightmove (past listings and their photos), Zoopla and
get_home_pricesOne London home's recorded sales (date, price, HM Land Registry link) and prices in its area today: the middle half (25th-75th percentile) of same-type standard sales since three years back, each adjusted to the latest month by the local price index, with sample size and the area used (LSOA, else MS
match_areasScore every area against a household's ordered criteria (preference-profile.v2: budget, ranges on any map layer, places, where zones, own criteria; must = filter). Returns a match-pack.v2 with the best top_n (default 20, max 100) areas as a list with score, rank and percentile per area, its top 2 re
get_market_depthLocal market depth of one LSOA or MSOA from HM Land Registry Price Paid (standard category A sales only): sales in the last 12 months, turnover (% of EPC-linked homes that sold), the leasehold share OF SALES (not of homes), new-build and resale median GBP/m2 over 36 months with the new-build premium
get_nearby_sales_summaryCounts and median GBP/m2 of other homes' recorded sales in the same building (postcode, house number or name, street) and on the same street (other buildings) as one address id, last 10 years. The median is withheld under 5 standard sales with an EPC floor area. Summary only: no sale rows and no add
get_area_evidence_packOne cited evidence pack for an area: market depth (as get_market_depth), the latest recorded crime rate, road and rail noise shares, state schools within 1.5 km with their standing Ofsted grade, and, given an address_id inside the area, its building and street sale aggregates. Every block names its
search_placesResolve a place the user mentions (station, borough, neighbourhood, postcode, street) to ids. Station lookup forgives spelling (Kings Cross, St James Park, Elephant and Castle) and knows London codes and nicknames (KX, TCR, LST, E&C, ally pally). Returns stations (osm:…, with TfL modes, lines and zo
get_commuteDoor-to-door minutes from one neighbourhood to the user's places on a weekday morning, by public transport (R5 on TfL timetables), bike (at the speed Santander Cycles riders reach; checked against TfL), car (typical morning traffic, no parking) and walking, each with a range. Places within 1.5 km of
get_flood_riskFlood bands for an area's land (rivers/sea, surface water) and, with a UPRN, that home's own bands. Bands show the likelihood for an area, not a specific property: send the user to the Environment Agency check for one address.
get_rent_levelsMedian monthly rent by bedroom count for areas (the figure the site shows). Borough averages per LSOA; empty for a studio or before the rents are loaded.
get_listing_search_linksPre-filtered searches on Rightmove, Zoopla, OnTheMarket (and OpenRent for rentals) for the postcode districts of shortlisted areas. Links only: open them on the user's behalf to read listings; Close Knit itself never fetches or stores listings.
list_custom_presetsReady-made custom criteria built from places on OpenStreetMap, with neutral descriptive names: kebab shops vs cafés, specialty coffee vs kebab shops, sandwich chains vs bakery chains, independent vs chain cafés, the nearest gym or sports centre, bars, pubs and clubs (more or fewer, per 1,000 residen
evaluate_custom_criterionEvaluate a criterion from places on the map for every London neighbourhood ('where are more cafés than kebab shops', 'most gyms in the area'), counting the places inside each neighbourhood's boundary: a preset_id or the user's own criterion (sets of OSM tag matchers and a formula). Returns the best
build_watch_specTurn a finished search into a watch: portal searches per postcode district, filters, a state file path for de-duplication and a ready prompt for a scheduled task in the user's Claude that reports only new listings. Stateless: nothing is stored on Close Knit.
send_feedbackSend feedback about Close Knit to the team: a bug, missing or wrong data, an idea, or what worked. Call it only after the user agrees: show them the message first. Describe the product and what happened, never the person: no names, contact details, addresses, family, budget or other personal circums
