Data in UK Real Estate

£10-15 GBP / hour

£10-15 GBP / hour

I work in the UK land and real estate field and have a data led approach to lead/ development site identification. What I am looking for is a scraper that obtains information from the 324 local authorities across the UK that have to make information on planning applications publicly available. They do this by way of a local authority planning portal (one per local authority) often based on a platform provided by Idox. The format of these websites are all very similar. I would like to extract the data from all 324 locations on a weekly basis. An example of the information I wish to scrape is the following page: [login to view URL] At present many business are manually checking these websites individually and manually which strikes me as incredibly inefficient. Once the data is scraped I wish to be able to filter and analyse, producing automated reports that will then be issued to clients of Foster, Brown + Green to allow clients of mine to identify new construction leads. I have follow on projects that will begin to automate the next phase of the process for real estate developers including market research, demographic information etc. Most of this follow on phase will utilise API's although there will still be some scraping. Initially I want to commission the planning portal scraping but want to make clear that I see this as the first phase of a number of projects applying data to real estate functions.

We can always write a programme to automate the scrapping. So pls open PM for further discussion and to start the work asap.

Since the data is publicly available, we can scrape all the websites on a weekly basis making sure that we do not overload their servers. I will build a Java application to scrape data from these websites. I will design the database schema according to the requirement to save the extracted data. The data will be well organized to meet your requirements. We might need a remote server to run this application and to host the database to efficiently scrape data. I will also write shell scripts and set up cron jobs on server to automate the process of scraping. We can always check the progress just by monitoring status table in the database. Contact me to discuss more about my proposal. Relevant Skills and Experience Java, Selenium, Jsoup, Hibernate, Chrome, Headless Browsers, HTML, AJAX, JavaScript, Windows, UNIX/Linux, Excel, MySQL, Oracle

Hi there, your link doesn't seem to work at the moment. But the main question I have is how similar these 324 location websites are, can you provide say 3 links, as trying to find out whether can be reused in developing a web scraper for the first sight and then on to the next one and so on. I have done many web scraping projects and it's what I specialise in, would love to do this for you and I have a great attention to detail. I can produce automated reports with nice graphical charts. This would all be done in Java, not PHP as it is better for scraping. I'm in Canada too, so I speak and write perfect English which I think you will find a great benefit. Thanks and look forward to hopefully hearing back from you.
