Rightmove Scraper

Pull UK property listings from Rightmove.co.uk at scale — for-sale homes, rentals, and sold-price history with full agent contacts, photos, floorplans, EPC ratings, council tax bands, tenure, and nearest tube/train stations on every row. Built for UK property investors, estate agents tracking competitors, lead-gen teams, and proptech / data platforms that need fresh Rightmove data without hand-crafting search URLs or maintaining a parser.

Why This Scraper?

• All three Rightmove channels in one actor — for-sale, to-rent, and sold-price history. Auto-detected from the URL or chosen with a single dropdown.
• Type a city, town, or postcode — no URL building required — "London", "SW1A 1AA", "Newcastle upon Tyne" all resolve straight to Rightmove's location automatically. Competing scrapers force you to hand-craft OUTCODE-style search URLs; this actor does the lookup for you.
• Nine property-type filters wired to Rightmove's UI — Houses, Flats, Bungalows, Land, Commercial, Farms, Parking, New Homes, or Any.
• Eleven radius bands — This area only, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, and 40 miles. Mirrors the dropdown on Rightmove's own search page.
• Up to ~1,000 listings per query — paginates Rightmove's full search ceiling (42 pages of 24 listings) before the platform caps further results.
• Branch contact card on every for-sale and rental row — branch name, phone (when published by the agent), branch landing page, profile URL, listings URL, logo, address, and full agent description HTML.
• EPC, council tax band, tenure, and ground rent on the same row — no extra request, no nested dataset. Includes years remaining on lease for leaseholds and annual ground-rent / service-charge figures when published.
• Nearest train and tube stations with walking distance — name, distance, and station type (national rail, tube, light rail) per listing. Optional schools and price-history toggles too.
• Honest maxResults cap — exact integer, no rounding to 50. Set 73 and you get 73 (or one full final page over — never trimmed to under-deliver).

Paste a Rightmove URL

Search-results pages, individual property pages, and sold-price pages all work. Filters embedded in the URL — including draw-area polygons and Property Status — are honoured exactly:

{
    "startUrls": [
        "https://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/London.html",
        "https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/123456789",
        "https://www.rightmove.co.uk/house-prices/sw1a.html"
    ],
    "maxResults": 100
}

Input Reference

What to Scrape

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
startUrls	string[]	[]	Paste Rightmove URLs directly. Supports search results, individual property pages (/properties/123456789), and sold-price pages (/house-prices/...). Channel is auto-detected from the URL.
searchLocation	string	"London"	Type a city, town, area, or postcode (e.g. "London", "Manchester", "SW1A 1AA"). Resolved to Rightmove's location automatically. Leave empty if using Start URLs.

Search Filters

These apply to Search Location only — URLs carry their own filters.

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
channel	select	buy	For Sale (Buy), To Rent, or Sold Prices.
propertyType	select	any	Any Type, Houses, Flats / Apartments, Bungalows, Land, Commercial, Farms, Parking, or New Homes.
bedroomsMin	integer	none	Minimum bedrooms (0–10).
bedroomsMax	integer	none	Maximum bedrooms (0–10).
priceMin	integer	none	Minimum price in GBP. For rentals, this is monthly rent.
priceMax	integer	none	Maximum price in GBP. For rentals, this is monthly rent.
radiusMiles	select	0	Search radius: This area only, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, or 40 miles.
sortBy	select	newest	Newest Listings, Oldest Listings, Price: Low to High, or Price: High to Low.

Options

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
maxResults	integer	100	Hard cap on listings across all inputs. 0 = unlimited. Results may slightly overshoot if the cap falls mid-page — you get the full last page rather than a trimmed one.
includePriceHistory	boolean	false	Fetch the historical sold-price record for each listing's address when available. Adds an extra request per listing.
includeNearestSchools	boolean	false	Include nearby schools with Ofsted ratings, distance, and school type.
includeNearestStations	boolean	true	Include nearest train and tube stations with walking distance.

Output

Every listing is one flat row. The same shape applies across buy, rent, and sold — channel-specific fields (rental term, sold-date) populate when relevant and stay blank otherwise.

What's available per channel

Field group	Buy	Rent	Sold
Core (id, url, title, propertyType, bedrooms, price, displayAddress)	yes	yes	yes
Structured address (postcode, outcode, incode, ukCountry, latitude, longitude)	yes	yes	blank — Rightmove's sold-prices page does not expose these
Agent contact card (agent.*)	yes	yes	not applicable
Tenure, council tax, EPC, features, images, floorplans	yes	yes	not applicable
Sold-price record (soldDate, soldPrice, transaction history)	not applicable	not applicable	yes

A few row-level notes:

• agent.phone is populated when the branch has published a landline. Some withdrawn or let-agreed listings omit the phone — the field is present but blank.
• epc.potentialRating is populated when Rightmove exposes the certificate's potential rating; many listings only publish the current rating, in which case potentialRating is blank.

Tips for Best Results

• Use full city names for ambiguous places. "Newcastle" alone resolves to Newcastle in Northern Ireland — type "Newcastle upon Tyne" for the English city. Same applies to "Bromley" and any other shared place name.
• Paste a Rightmove URL when you need a filter the input form doesn't expose. Draw-area polygon searches, "Auction" property status, "Include Sold STC", and Rightmove's "Look 2 / 3 bedrooms" combinations all serialise into the URL — paste it as a startUrls entry and every URL parameter is honoured exactly.
• Use channel: "sold" for true comparables. Sold-price history is the gold standard for valuation work and CMA reports — actual transaction prices, not asking prices.
• Rightmove caps any single search at roughly 1,000 listings. For large areas, split the run into multiple postcodes or smaller radii rather than expecting one search to return more.
• Keep includePriceHistory off unless you need it. It adds an extra request per listing and roughly doubles run time. Default rows already include the most recent listing-update reason and date.
• Sort by oldest to find stale listings. Properties on the market for many months are often signs of price misalignment — useful for negotiation and for spotting overpriced inventory.
• Set radiusMiles to expand commuter searches. Buyers prepared to live within 5 or 10 miles of a city centre find materially better value once you step outside the immediate postcode.

Pricing

$3.00 per 1,000 results — pay only for the listings returned. No compute charges — you only pay per result returned.

Results	Estimated Cost
100	$0.30
1,000	$3.00
10,000	$30.00
100,000	$300.00

A "result" is one property listing row in the output dataset. Apify platform fees (storage, bandwidth) are billed separately by your Apify plan.
