UK Property Tracker: Rightmove, Zoopla, OnTheMarket

What does UK Property Tracker do?

UK Property Tracker scrapes homes for sale and to rent from Rightmove, OnTheMarket and Zoopla (beta) in one run.

It finds the same home on several portals and gives you one record with links to all of them.

Turn on monitor mode and it tells you what changed since the last run: new homes, price drops, price rises, removed homes and homes that came back on the market.

Use it as a simple Rightmove API, OnTheMarket API or Zoopla API alternative.

Why use UK Property Tracker?

Most scrapers read one portal. Then you must join the data yourself. This Actor does it for you.

• One run, many portals. Search Rightmove, OnTheMarket and Zoopla together.
• No duplicates. The same home on two portals becomes one record. You see the cheapest price and the other links.
• Change feed. Schedule it daily and get only what you need: new listings and price changes.
• UK fields. Tenure (freehold or leasehold), lease years left, council tax band, EPC rating, price wording like "Guide price" or "Offers over", service charge and ground rent.
• Square metres and square feet. Sizes in sq ft are converted to m2, so you can compare price per m2.
• Same output as our Spain and Germany trackers. One format for all three countries.

Good for buyers, renters, investors, estate agents, data teams and anyone who watches a local market.

You also get everything Apify gives you: schedules, API access, webhooks, integrations (Google Sheets, Slack, Make, Zapier) and proxy rotation.

How to scrape Rightmove, Zoopla and OnTheMarket

1. Open the Actor and go to the Input tab.
2. In Searches, add a place, for example { "location": "Manchester", "operation": "sale", "maxPrice": 300000 }. Or paste a search URL from Rightmove, OnTheMarket or Zoopla.
3. Pick the Portals you want.
4. Set Max listings per portal.
5. Turn on Monitor changes if you want a change feed.
6. Click Start.
7. Download your data as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML, or read it with the API.

To track a market, save the input as a task and add a schedule, for example every morning.

How much will it cost to scrape UK property portals?

This Actor uses pay per event pricing. You only pay for results. Failed pages cost nothing.

Event	When you pay	Price per 1,000
listing-scraped	Once per unique home in the results	$2.00
browser-listing	Once per saved home that comes from Zoopla (on top of listing-scraped)	$4.00
listing-details	Once per home, only when Include details is on	$1.00
change-event	Once per change (new, price drop, price rise, removed, back), only in monitor mode	$0.50
apify-actor-start	When a run starts, set by Apify. One event per GB of memory	$1.25 (about $0.005 per run at the default 4 GB)

Why is Zoopla more expensive? Zoopla blocks simple scrapers. We need a real browser and a home proxy for it. That costs us more, so a home from Zoopla has an extra browser-listing charge. A home that is also on Zoopla but comes from a cheaper portal does not pay it.

A removed home only costs a change-event. Unchanged homes do not cost a change-event.

You can set a maximum cost per run. The Actor checks the total price of all events for a home before it saves it. If they do not all fit, it stops. You never pay for a home that was not saved.

To keep costs low, leave Include details off, keep Max listings per portal small, and turn off the beta portal if you do not need it.

The Pricing tab shows the exact prices.

Input

See the Input tab for all options. The main ones:

• Searches: a list. Each entry is a search URL or a simple search object:
  • location: a town, area or postcode, like "Kennington, London" or "SE11"
  • operation: "sale" or "rent"
  • propertyType: any, flat, house, detached, semi-detached, terraced, bungalow, land
  • minPrice, maxPrice: in GBP (rent is per month)
  • minRooms: minimum bedrooms
  • minSize: minimum size in m2
• Portals: rightmove, onthemarket, zoopla.
• Max listings per portal: default 200. Results are newest first.
• Include details: opens each listing page for more fields.
• Monitor changes and Monitor ID: keep the same Monitor ID on every scheduled run.

Example:

{
  "searches": [
    { "location": "Kennington, London", "operation": "sale", "propertyType": "flat", "maxPrice": 800000, "minRooms": 2 },
    "https://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-to-rent/find.html?locationIdentifier=REGION%5E904&maxPrice=1500"
  ],
  "portals": ["rightmove", "onthemarket"],
  "maxListingsPerPortal": 100,
  "monitor": true,
  "monitorId": "kennington-flats"

  }
]

Each run also saves an OUTPUT record. It shows for each portal if it worked, was blocked, or was capped by your limit.

How does the merge work?

Two listings are the same home when all of this is true:

• They are within 50 metres, or they have the same address.
• Their size is within 5%.
• They have the same number of bedrooms.
• Their price is within 10%.

When one portal does not show the size, we ask for both the same address and the same map position. The cheapest listing becomes the main record. The others go into alsoListedOn.

Tips

• Removed homes. A home is only marked "removed" when the whole search finished. If you hit Max listings per portal, set it higher than the number of results.
• Price changes. The price is the lowest price across portals. If a cheaper copy shows up on another portal, you will see a price drop.
• Zoopla is beta. Zoopla has strong bot protection. Plain requests are blocked, even with a residential proxy. So the Actor opens Zoopla in a real browser (Firefox) with UK residential proxies, one page at a time, like a normal visitor. The Actor does not solve captchas. If Zoopla asks for one, Zoopla is skipped and the run summary says so. Rightmove and OnTheMarket do not need this and stay fast.
• Location not found? Paste a search URL from the portal instead of a place name.

FAQ, disclaimers and support

Is it legal to scrape UK property portals? Our Actors are ethical and do not extract any private user data, such as email addresses, gender, or location.

However, you should be aware that your results could contain personal data. Personal data is protected by the GDPR in the European Union and by other regulations around the world. You should not scrape personal data unless you have a legitimate reason to do so. If you're unsure whether your reason is legitimate, consult your lawyers.

Does it work for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland? Yes, wherever the portals have listings.

Can I use it from my own code? Yes. See the API tab.
