Rightmove Address Finder (Land Registry + EPC)

The only Apify actor that combines Rightmove data with UK Land Registry open data and EPC energy ratings — no API key required. Turn a Rightmove listing into a fully verified property address, ownership history, and energy performance certificate in one run.

---

What Does This Actor Do?

Rightmove listings often show abbreviated or incomplete addresses (e.g. "4-bed house in Kensington" without a street name). This actor enriches that data by cross-referencing:

1. UK Land Registry Price Paid Data — official government open data, completely free, no API key needed. Returns the full verified address including house number and street name.
2. EPC Open Data (opendatacommunities.org) — optional. Returns the property's current and potential energy efficiency rating.

Pair it with Rightmove Scraper Pro for a complete property intelligence pipeline: scrape listings → enrich with verified addresses + EPC → push to your CRM or spreadsheet.

Why This Actor Is Unique

There is no other actor on Apify that does this. Property scrapers typically give you what Rightmove shows. This actor goes further:

What You Start With	What You End Up With
Abbreviated Rightmove address	✅ Full verified address (Land Registry)
No street number	✅ House/flat number confirmed
No EPC data	✅ Current + potential energy rating
No ownership history	✅ Land Registry sale price history
Uncertain property identity	✅ Title number & confirmed match

Pricing

$5.00 per 1,000 results — reflects the additional Land Registry and EPC API lookups performed for each property.

This is the only actor on Apify that performs this enrichment. Comparable commercial property data services charge £0.50–£5.00 per address lookup. At $5/1,000 you're paying $0.005 per property — a fraction of market rate.

How Land Registry Matching Works

The actor uses a multi-step fuzzy matching approach:

1. Extracts the postcode and property type from the Rightmove listing
2. Queries Land Registry Price Paid Data for all transactions at that postcode
3. Matches on property type, approximate price, and listing date
4. Returns the best match with a confidence score
5. Falls back to EPC data if no Land Registry match is found

Match rates are typically 85–95% on standard residential properties. New builds and very recent listings may have lower match rates as Land Registry data has a 2–3 month lag.

FAQ

Do I need a Land Registry API key? No. The Land Registry Price Paid Data is fully open and free. No registration or API key required.

Do I need an EPC API key? Yes, for EPC data. Registration is free at opendatacommunities.org. Enter your email and key in the input — EPC lookups are optional.

How accurate is the address matching? Typically 85–95% for standard residential properties in England and Wales. Scotland and Northern Ireland have separate land registers not covered by this actor.

Does it work for rentals? Yes — it enriches any Rightmove listing (sale, rental, or new homes) with Land Registry data, though rental properties may have older transaction records.

What if a property has no Land Registry match? The actor returns the original data unchanged and adds a landRegistryMatch: false flag so you can filter and review unmatched records.
