Rightmove Scraper: Price Drops & Land Registry Sold Prices

Homes for sale on Rightmove by town, postcode district or search link, newest first, with three things other Rightmove scrapers do not give you:

• Rightmove's own price-reduction flag and date ("Reduced on 10/10/2026") on every listing, plus a filter to get only reduced homes.
• What homes actually sold for nearby, at two levels. Always: the UK House Price Index average for the home's local authority and property type (HM Land Registry, latest month). When the Land Registry's sales database answers: the sales registered in the home's postcode district in the last 12 months (count, median and average for the same property type), and the asking price compared with that median. Flats are compared with flats, terraced with terraced.
• A memory between runs: schedule it and get homes that are new since your last run, whose price dropped since your last run, and (optionally) homes that left the market.

Optional listing pages add the full postcode, size, lease years left, council tax band, service charge, agent phone, nearest station and the last five sales registered at that exact postcode.

Example row (N5, 2026-10-18)

Two-bedroom flat on Grosvenor Avenue, asking £625,000. Land Registry: 158 flats sold in N5 in the last 12 months, median £573,500, so the asking price is 9 % above the sold median. Lease 967 years, council tax band D, service charge £3,276 a year. Last sale at that postcode: a flat for £595,000 in January 2026.

• Areas: a town, a postcode district ("N5", "SW1A"), a Rightmove id ("OUTCODE^1683") or a Rightmove search link with your filters. Rightmove shows at most 42 pages (about 1,000 homes) per search, so for a big city give its postcode districts.
• Rightmove filters: price, bedrooms, property types, added in the last N days, include sold STC.
• Only homes Rightmove marks as reduced, Asking price vs sold median, max % (for example -10 keeps homes asking at least 10 % below what the same type sold for), Only new listings and price drops since the last run, Include homes that left the market.

Rows with recordType: "off_market" are homes seen in the previous run that are no longer listed; they are delivered only with Include homes that left the market and when every page of the area was read.

What this Actor does not deliver

• The seller's name or contact. Rightmove publishes the agent, not the owner.
• The exact address. Rightmove gives the street and, on the listing page, the full postcode; the house number is not published.
• Sold prices for Scotland and Northern Ireland. HM Land Registry covers England and Wales. Rightmove listings there come without the sold-price comparison.
• This month's sales. HM Land Registry publishes sales about 4 to 8 weeks after completion.
• More than about 1,000 homes per search. That is Rightmove's limit; split a city by postcode districts.

Speed and cost

Measured on 2026-10-18 from Apify without a proxy:

• One result page (24 homes) in about a second. Listing pages: about 2 per second. The local-authority index: instant.
• The Land Registry sales database (SPARQL) is slow and sometimes refuses: 20-65 seconds per postcode district, two districts at a time, and on 2026-10-18 it answered 22 of 30 districts in a London run (the others gave 429 or 503). Its results are kept for 7 days in the feed memory, so a scheduled feed pays that cost once a week: a page of London took 5 minutes the first time and 42 seconds the next. At most 40 new districts per run; homes in districts without an answer still get the local-authority comparison.
• Measured on 2026-10-18: 5 pages of London (125 homes, 56 reduced by Rightmove) with 50 listing pages and the sales comparison took 18 minutes and $0.06 of platform cost the first time.

No proxy is needed.
