Could you build this?

Partial The commute calculator and UI are straightforward, but aggregating live London rental listings requires extensive scraping or paid API partnerships.

What it would actually take: The stack would combine scraped listings from Rightmove/Zoopla (or unofficial API feeds) with TfL Open Data or TravelTime API for multi-modal transit calculations, alongside Postcode-level Council Tax datasets. The core bottleneck is maintaining resilient, anti-bot-bypassing web scrapers across UK property portals that actively block bots, plus computing matrix routing costs at scale.
