Land Registry Price Paid UK

An Apify Actor that scrapes UK HM Land Registry Price Paid Data. Search for residential property sale prices in England and Wales by address, postcode, town, or street, with optional filters for date range, price, property type, estate type, and new-build status.

Data covers over 24 million transactions dating back to January 1995, updated monthly.

What it does

• Look up sold prices by exact address (postcode + building number)
• Search by area (town, street, or district)
• Filter by date range, price range, property type, and estate type
• Optionally restrict to new-build properties only
• Handles pagination to retrieve large result sets

Input

Address

At least one of street or town must be provided. Postcode alone is not supported as it causes server-side timeouts — use it as an additional narrowing filter alongside street or buildingName.

Field	Type	Description	Default
postcode	string	UK postcode (e.g. SW1A 1AA). Case-insensitive.	—
buildingName	string	House number or building name (PAON). Combined with postcode for exact property.	—
unitName	string	Flat or unit number (SAON). Use with buildingName to pinpoint a specific flat.	—
street	string	Street name. Case-insensitive.	—
locality	string	Locality (not always present in the data).	—
town	string	Town or city name. Case-insensitive.	—
district	string	District (not always present in the data).	—
county	string	County (not always present in the data).	—

Filters

Field	Type	Options / Format	Default
dateFrom	string	YYYY-MM-DD — earliest transaction date. Data available from 1995-01-01.	—
dateTo	string	YYYY-MM-DD — latest transaction date.	—
minPrice	integer	Minimum sale price in GBP (inclusive).	—
maxPrice	integer	Maximum sale price in GBP (inclusive).	—
propertyTypes	array	detached, semi-detached, terraced, flat-maisonette, otherPropertyType	[] (all)
estateType	string	freehold or leasehold. Leave empty for both.	—
newBuild	array	"true" (new builds), "false" (not new build). Leave empty for all.	[] (all)

Performance

Field	Type	Description	Default
maxResults	integer	Total maximum records to fetch across all pages. Set to 0 for no limit. Use with caution on broad queries.	1000
maxConcurrency	integer	Maximum parallel requests.	5
maxRequestsPerMinute	integer	Rate limit cap. Lower if getting 429 errors.	120
proxyConfiguration	object	Apify proxy settings.	disabled

Pagination

Field	Type	Description	Default
enablePagination	boolean	Fetch results across multiple pages using OFFSET. Each page fires a separate request and billing event.	false
pageSize	integer	Records per request when pagination is enabled. Has no effect when pagination is disabled. Keep between 10–500 for best results.	100

When pagination is disabled, maxResults maps directly to the SPARQL LIMIT — one request, one page.

When pagination is enabled, each request fetches up to pageSize records. The last page is automatically trimmed so the total never exceeds maxResults. Pages continue until fewer than pageSize records are returned (no more data) or maxResults is reached.
