Rightmove vs Zoopla: Which Has the Data You Need?
Rightmove and Zoopla are the UK’s two biggest property portals — Rightmove leads on reach and listing volume, while Zoopla adds AVM valuations (Zed-Index) and sold-price history on top of its listings. For most UK data use cases you want both, and PropAPIS extracts each through one unified API.

When to use which
- Choose Rightmove data for the widest reach and the largest listing pool — ~1.1M active listings with 90%+ agent coverage, full agent details, photos, floor plans and EPC, exposed as structured JSON.
- Choose Zoopla data when valuations and sold history matter — Zoopla layers its Zed-Index AVM and estimated values plus UK sold-price history (Land Registry overlay) on top of its listings.
- Use both for cross-validation: compare a Zoopla estimated value and sold-price comparables against Rightmove’s asking prices and listing detail to gauge confidence.
Access both through one API
PropAPIS normalizes Rightmove and Zoopla into a single schema, so you query both the same way and merge results without maintaining two scrapers.
See the Rightmove and Zoopla platform pages for the full data fields and code examples.
