Rightmove Scraper - UK Property Listings & Sold Prices

Fast, reliable, low-cost scraper for rightmove.co.uk. Extract properties for sale, to rent, and sold-price history, by location search or direct URL, with 80+ structured fields per property.

Highlights

• Three channels: for sale (BUY), to rent (RENT), and sold prices (SOLD).
• Two input modes: build a search from a location plus filters, or paste any Rightmove URL (search page, property page, or sold-price page).
• 80+ fields per property when detail enrichment is enabled, including full description, key features, council tax band, ground rent, service charge, EPC graphs, nearest stations and airports, broadband speeds, floorplans, lease years remaining, price per sq ft, full postcode, and complete agent contact (company, branch address, phone, logo).
• Server-side filters: price, bedrooms, property type, radius, sort order, include Let Agreed / Sold STC.
• Monitoring mode: return only listings not seen in previous runs.
• Predictable proxy use: uses exactly the proxy you configure (datacenter by default), with automatic retries if a request is blocked. Residential is never auto-enabled.

Cost and performance

• Search mode (includeDetails: false) is the cheapest way to harvest large result sets and runs in a small memory footprint.
• Detail mode adds the deep 80+ field set per property, fetched concurrently for speed.

Send results into your apps (MCP connectors)

Optionally pipe the scraped results into the apps you already use, via Model Context Protocol (MCP) connectors. This is an extra delivery step after the scrape — the Apify dataset is never changed.

What gets written to the connector: a condensed, human-readable summary of each record — not the full JSON. Each item becomes one entry with a title and its key fields flattened to plain text. The complete record always stays in the Apify dataset.

1. Authorize a connector once under Apify → Settings → Integrations (Notion, Linear, Airtable, or Apify).
2. Select it in the "Pipe results into your apps" input field. (If the picker is empty, you haven't authorized a connector yet.)
3. For Notion, also set notionParentPageUrl to the page where items should be created.

The connection is mediated by Apify's MCP proxy, so this actor never sees your third-party credentials. Leave the field empty to skip.

Proxy strategy

Datacenter proxies are the default (cheapest) and work well for Rightmove. The actor uses exactly the proxy you configure and never switches to residential on its own. It retries automatically if a request is blocked.

• Need residential? Select it in proxyConfiguration yourself; the actor will use it. It is never auto-enabled.
• Country targeting: pin an exit country with proxyCountry (default GB).

💡 For the lowest cost, keep includeDetails: false and use datacenter proxies. Enable details only when you need the deep fields.

Monitoring new listings

Set monitoringMode: true and schedule the actor. Each run returns only properties not seen in previous runs, ideal for lead generation and price tracking.

Notes and limits

• Rightmove caps deep pagination at ~1000 results (~42 pages) per search. Split a large area into sub-areas / postcodes to exceed this.
• Sold-price areas are addressed by slug; pass a postcode or area name, or a direct /house-prices/<area>.html URL.
• Respect Rightmove's Terms of Use and applicable laws; scrape responsibly.

Use cases

Property market research, lead generation (agent contacts), price and sold-comp analysis, portfolio monitoring, relocation tools, data enrichment.
