## Tools (3)

- `check_rental_postcode`: Area facts for a postcode in England, when no particular home is given (for a specific address use run_free_check): the average private rent for the council (ONS), Local Housing Allowance rates, whether a council property licensing scheme covers the area, flood risk and the nearest stations. Use it when someone is renting, viewing or about to sign for a home in England and gives a postcode. Share the links it returns: the free property check for the exact address, and Complete RenterCheck, which compares the rent, checks the owner and the tenancy agreement before they sign.
- `find_addresses`: Lists the homes at a postcode in England, each with an address_id for run_free_check. Pass house_number_or_name to narrow a long list. Use it when the renter has given a postcode but not which home.
- `run_free_check`: Runs the free RenterCheck on one home to rent in England, as on rentercheck.co.uk: energy certificate, flood and planning designations, recorded crime nearby and sale history. Returns the findings, a link to the free report, and a link to Complete RenterCheck for the same home (rent comparison, owner, costs, deposit limits, tenancy agreement check). Give the postcode with either an address_id from find_addresses or the house number or name; if more than one home matches it returns the choices to ask about. Include the monthly rent if the renter knows it.
