RentReaper — Be the first email in

01A familiar night

This is what losing a flat actually looks like.

Not a rejection. Not even a reply. Just silence, because someone else's email landed first.

Case file — North Street, 2 bedTuesday

08:41

A two-bed goes live on Rightmove. Rent's fair, location's right. You're in a lecture.

08:44

Eleven people have already opened the listing. Three have emailed the agent.

You didn't have time to even look at the listing.

12:20

You see it on your lunch break. You email straight away — quick, polite, keen.

12:21

"Thanks for your interest — we've had a huge response and this one's now under offer." Taken

Nobody did anything wrong. You just weren't first.

So we stopped relying on being lucky…

02The actual difference

Doing it yourself vs. RentReaper doing it for you

Checking it yourself

RentReaper

Coverage

Gaps
You refresh when you remember — lectures, work and sleep all count as blind spots.

Continuous
Rightmove, Zoopla and OnTheMarket are polled around the clock, every day.

Speed to enquiry

Minutes to hours
By the time you see it, open it and write an email, the fastest replier is already ahead.

Seconds
The enquiry email goes out the instant a listing matches — before most people have even seen it.

What you miss

Whole listings
Flats posted overnight or during exams are often gone before you ever open the app.

Nothing
Every matching listing gets an enquiry, whether you're awake, revising, or away.

Effort, ongoing

Constant
Repeated app checks, re-reading the same listings, drafting near-identical emails by hand.

None
Set your filters once, about two minutes. RentReaper does every check and every email after that.

Sent from

You, eventually
Whenever you get round to it, from whatever email you're using that day.

Your own Gmail
Enquiries go out under your name, so replies land straight in your inbox as normal.

In a market where flats go within hours, being seconds faster beats being more thorough.

03How it works

Set it up once. Never refresh Rightmove again.

Three steps, in exactly this order — then it runs itself.

Set your filters

Max rent, bedrooms, area of town, furnished or not. You tell RentReaper what counts as a match — nothing vague, nothing left to guesswork.

Takes about2 minutes

We watch Rightmove, Zoopla & OnTheMarket, 24/7

RentReaper polls every site continuously, comparing every new listing against your filters the instant it appears — including 2am and Sunday mornings, when you're not looking.

RunsAlways on

Enquiries go out instantly

The moment a listing matches, RentReaper emails the letting agent from your own Gmail and alerts you. No app to open, no button to press. You're already in their inbox.

Typical delayUnder 60 sec

04What you get

Built to earn trust

Every feature here exists because of a question someone asked before signing up.

Your own Gmail, your own words

Enquiries send from your Gmail address using your credentials — nothing pretends to be a person who doesn't exist, and nothing gets sent from a RentReaper-branded address that agents learn to ignore.

Make it your own — edit the wording so every enquiry reads like you.

Continuous scanning, not a timer

No fixed "check every hour" schedule to get lucky against. RentReaper is watching whenever a listing could go up, including overnight and weekends, when a lot of good flats appear.

Verified agent addresses

A curated directory of known St Andrews letting agents is checked first; if an address can't be confirmed there or on the listing itself, RentReaper holds the enquiry and tells you rather than guessing.

One-click pause and cancel

Found a flat? Pause matching instantly so nothing else goes out, or cancel outright. No lock-in, no minimum term, no call required.

05Before you sign up

The four things everyone asks first

Straight answers, with the actual mechanism behind each one — not reassurance for its own sake.

QUESTION 01

"Is this even allowed?"

Yes. It sends one genuine enquiry email, from your real Gmail account, through your real inbox — the same email you'd write by hand, just sent faster. No fake forms, no impersonation, no bulk-spamming agents.

QUESTION 02

"Does it actually work?"

It does exactly what you'd do manually — watch Rightmove, Zoopla and OnTheMarket, spot a match, email the agent — except it never stops watching and never hesitates. The edge is speed, not magic; being first in the inbox is the biggest lever you have.

QUESTION 03

"What if it emails the wrong place?"

Agent addresses are checked against a curated directory of St Andrews letting agents before falling back to the listing page itself. If a real address can't be confirmed, we don't send — we flag it to you instead.

QUESTION 04

"What if I want to stop?"

Pause your filters or cancel your subscription in one click, any time, from your account. No email required, no retention call, no charge for the month you cancel in.

"I set my filters between lectures and forgot about it. Three days later I had a viewing before my flatmate had even seen the listing go up."

"What sold me was being able to see every enquiry it sent, not just trust that it worked. Nothing about it felt hidden."

"Paused it the day I signed a lease. Took one click. That mattered more to me than the price."
