Rightmove Change Monitor
Monitor Rightmove property-for-sale listings and automatically detect changes between runs.
What it does
Run on a schedule (daily, hourly, etc.) and get notified about:
- 🆕 New listings — properties that appeared since the last run
- 💸 Price drops — listings where the asking price decreased
- 📈 Price increases — listings where the asking price increased
- 🔄 Status changes — e.g. "For Sale" → "Sold STC"
- 🗑️ Removed listings — properties that disappeared from results
How to use
- Go to Rightmove and run a property search (for sale)
- Copy the full URL from your browser address bar
- Paste it into the Search URL input
- Run the actor — first run creates the baseline snapshot
- Schedule subsequent runs — changes will be detected automatically
Input
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
searchUrl | String | ✅ | Full Rightmove search results URL |
maxListings | Integer | ❌ | Max listings to fetch (default 500, max 1000) |
enableChangeDetection | Boolean | ❌ | Enable diff against previous run (default true) |
Output
Default Dataset
A run summary including all events detected in that run.

Key-Value Store
Persists the previous snapshot between runs for diff detection.
Scheduling
For best results, schedule runs daily or multiple times per day. Rightmove updates listings frequently.
In Apify, go to your actor → Schedules → create a new schedule using cron.
Examples:
- Daily at 8am UK time:
0 8 * * * - Twice daily:
0 8,18 * * *
Proxy
This actor uses Apify Residential Proxies with UK exit nodes to reliably access Rightmove. Residential proxy usage is billed separately based on your Apify plan.
Limitations
- Rightmove limits search results to ~1000 properties per search URL
- For large areas, use more specific search URLs (add filters for price range, beds, etc.)
- First run always creates a baseline — change detection begins from the second run onward
