NovaLoca Scraper — UK Commercial Property Listings

Get commercial property listings from NovaLoca.com, one of the UK's main commercial property portals: offices, industrial units and warehouses, retail premises, commercial land and leisure property, for sale or to let. After EG Propertylink closed in early 2026, NovaLoca picked up much of its market — the portal carries roughly 26,000 live listings across the UK.

Search by any UK town, city, region or postcode, filter by property segment and tenure, and get structured JSON with prices, floor sizes, locations, agent names and photos. No login or cookies required.

Why use it

• Market research — track asking rents and sale prices per segment and region.
• Deal sourcing — investors and occupiers monitoring new stock in a target area, sorted by date added.
• Agency intelligence — see which agents list what, where, and at what price point.
• Lead generation — every listing carries the marketing agency's name.
• Portfolio benchmarking — compare your own asking prices against the local market.

UK commercial listings quote prices in several different units (per annum, per month, per sq ft). This actor never converts or guesses: you get the numeric price plus the exact unit string the site displays, so £12.50 per sq ft and £12,500 per annum stay distinguishable.

Input options

Field	Type	Default	Description
searchQuery	string	—	UK town, city, region or postcode (e.g. Manchester, Bedfordshire, M1 1AD). The site requires a location: when left empty the actor searches around London. Results are distance-ordered and reach well beyond the town itself.
listingType	string	all	all, sale, or rent. Properties offered as "for sale or to let" appear under both filters.
propertyType	string	all	all, offices, industrial, retail, land, or leisure.
sort	string	distance	distance (site default) or date-added (newest first).
maxResults	integer	100	Hard cap on returned listings. The whole portal holds ~26,000.
proxyConfiguration	object	UK residential	NovaLoca sits behind the Azure Front Door WAF, which blocklists individual IPs. UK residential proxy is the reliable default; the automatic pool also worked in testing.

How to scrape NovaLoca data

1. Open the actor on Apify and press Try for free.
2. Enter a UK location in Location (e.g. Manchester, Leeds, Bristol).
3. Pick a Property Type (offices, industrial, retail, land, leisure) and a Listing Type (for sale, to let, or both).
4. Set Max Results and press Start.
5. When the run finishes, download the dataset from the Output tab as JSON, CSV or Excel.

You can also run it via the Apify API or schedule it to track new listings — set sort to date-added and a schedule, and each run returns the newest stock first.

Cost estimate

The actor fetches 200 listings per page request, so nearly all usage cost is the per-result charge. Expect roughly $0.002 per listing plus a small run start fee — about $0.20 for a 100-listing run, or roughly 500 listings per $1. A run's usage cost only settles once it reports SUCCEEDED; a cost read mid-run understates the final figure.

Limitations

• Listing descriptions are the search-card snippets, truncated by the site. Full descriptions, postcodes and the agent's phone number live on the detail pages, which this actor does not visit.
• The site requires a location and orders results by distance from it, so a search is effectively regional: nearby towns appear in the results with their distanceMiles value.
• Prices marked "price on application" come back as null — the site publishes no number for them.
• Some listings do not specify a floor size; sizeRaw and the surface fields are null for those.
