PropertyData UK Analytics Scraper

PropertyData UK Analytics Scraper

Scrape UK property analytics from PropertyData by postcode or city, up to a million properties per run. Every record returns rental yields, average prices, price per square foot, sales volumes, and local market scores. No API key required. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

PropertyData is a UK property analytics platform that aggregates sold prices, rental yields, and market activity for every postcode. This Actor reads the public analytics pages directly, so you can pull the numbers for a handful of postcodes or blanket an entire city without clicking through the site. It returns one flat row per postcode, ready for your spreadsheet or model.

Who uses it	What they scrape PropertyData for
Property investors	Compare rental yields across postcode districts to shortlist buy-to-let targets.
Estate agents	Pull average sold prices and price-per-square-foot benchmarks for a new valuation report.
Market analysts	Track sales volumes and price movements across a whole city over time.
Proptech builders	Feed clean, structured UK housing-market data into an automated valuation model or dashboard.

What it does

This Actor collects UK property market analytics from PropertyData for given postcodes or auto-discovered postcode districts within a city, and returns each postcode's yield, average price, price per square foot, and sales volume as a flat row.

• 📍 Postcode lookup: supply a list of UK postcodes and get the analytics for each one directly.
• 🏙️ City-wide discovery: pick a city and the Actor finds every postcode district inside it, then scrapes them all.
• 📊 Core metrics: rental yield, average sold price, average asking price, price per square foot, and sales volume.
• ⚙️ Volume cap: set a maximum number of properties to collect per run so you stay within your data budget.

Results export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML, or straight from the API.

Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results for my postcode?

Check that the postcode is valid and formatted correctly with a space, such as 'W14 9JH'. PropertyData may not have analytics for very new or very small postcodes.

The run stopped before scraping all postcodes in the city.

You likely hit the 'Maximum properties' limit. Increase the number or remove the cap to let the Actor collect every district.

Some postcodes return partial or missing data.

PropertyData may not have a full set of metrics for every postcode. Missing fields will appear as empty in your dataset; this is expected for low-transaction areas.

The Actor is running slowly on a large city.

City-wide runs discover many postcode districts and scrape each one sequentially. Reduce the city selection to one at a time or lower the max-items cap if you need faster turnaround.

I get an error about the site being unreachable.

PropertyData may be temporarily down or blocking the request. Wait a few minutes and retry. If the problem persists, try enabling a proxy in the Actor's advanced settings.

FAQ

Question	Answer
What data does PropertyData provide?	PropertyData aggregates UK Land Registry sold prices, current asking prices, rental yields, price per square foot, and sales volumes at the postcode level. It also computes a local market score.
Do I need a PropertyData account or API key?	No. The Actor reads the public-facing pages on propertydata.co.uk, so no login, account, or API key is required.
Can I scrape a whole city at once?	Yes. Select a city from the dropdown and the Actor will discover every postcode district inside it, then scrape each one automatically.
How do I limit the number of results?	Set the 'Maximum properties' field to the number of postcode records you want. The Actor stops as soon as it reaches that count.
What is a postcode district?	A postcode district is the outward part of a UK postcode, such as W14 or SW1A. The Actor scrapes at this level when you use city discovery.
Does this return individual property listings?	No. PropertyData provides aggregate analytics per postcode, not individual homes for sale or rent. You get average prices, yields, and sales counts.
Can I mix postcodes and cities in one run?	Yes. Provide postcodes and select one or more cities; the Actor will scrape the postcodes you supplied plus every district it discovers in the chosen cities.
What export formats are supported?	You can export the dataset as CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML from the Apify platform after the run finishes.
How current is the data?	The Actor reads whatever PropertyData displays on its public pages at the moment of the run. Sold-price data reflects the latest Land Registry release.
Is this legal to scrape?	The Actor only reads publicly accessible pages. You should review PropertyData's terms of service and ensure your use complies with them and with UK law.
