Every request to the PropertyData API requires a key.
You can sign up for a 14-day free trial to experiment with the API.
Every request to the PropertyData API should be a GET request.
Most endpoints cost 1 API credit per request. However, certain endpoints may incur extra API credits per request depending on the type or volume of data retrieved. This information is displayed clearly in the 'API credit cost' section on the documentation pages for each endpoint.
We support CORS, which allows Javascript requests to be made across domains. Each response contains the Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * header that enables CORS.
Nonetheless, exposing your API key in publicly visible source code is not recommended. You remain responsible for any and all requests made to the API using your key.
Most API endpoints require you to supply a UK postcode - full (e.g. 'W14 9JH'), district (e.g. 'W14') or sector (e.g. 'W14 9').
If you supply a full postcode, data will be collected by enlarging a circle around that postcode until the required number of points (typically 20 by default, although you can customise this) has been found. A 'radius' value in miles will be returned to indicate how large the circle was expanded. Using this method, you should receive data in 99%+ of cases.
If you supply a postcode sector or district, all data in that sector or district will be used. Using this method, you are more likely to receive an insufficient data message.
Due to source data limitations, some endpoints do not work across all constituent countries of the United Kingdom. Coverage for API endpoints is as follows:

Heavy data processing is carried out at run-time for many API endpoints. Therefore, response times may be higher than you are used to with other APIs. We consider a 1,000ms response time to be average for most endpoints. As a result, we advise you not to send requests to our API as a critical-path component of your application at run-time - we suggest an asynchronous request instead.
We are constantly working to improve performance of the API. The processing time is returned with every API request; if you are receiving numbers that you consider to be excessively high, please get in touch with debugging information so we can investigate.

Transparent data promise
Where does the raw data come from?
Property listings seen on rightmove.co.uk, zoopla.co.uk and onthemarket.com.
How often is the data updated?
The data is updated in near real-time.
What time period does the data cover?
This is a real-time market snapshot - the data covers currently listed properties. Once properties are removed from the portal, they are soon removed from this tab.
How is the raw data processed?
Duplicates from multiple sources are matched and reconciled as far as possible. Listings with obvious errors, where price or number or bedrooms appear out of range, are discarded.
What are the statistics used?
Averages shown are the interquartile mean, a type of average that is insensitive to outliers while being its own distinct parameter. The 80% range means that 80% of the listed properties fall inside this range.

How do you know the square footage of properties?
We use proprietary technology to read the square footage of properties from agent floorplans. Although we cannot determine the square footage for all properties, we can usually get sufficient coverage. Agents are sometimes known to inflate square footage, and this should be borne in mind as a weakness of this data.

Where does the raw data come from?
Property "price paid" data provided by the Land Registry.
How often is the data updated?
Once per month when released by the Land Registry, typically towards the end of each calendar month covering up to the end of the previous calendar month.
What time period does the data cover?
You can customise the time period using the filter at the top of the view. The default time period is up to 9 months back from today's date. The latest data covers the period up to 2024-02-29, although some sales that took place before this date may still be added in the coming months.

No additional processes are applied to this data.

Where does the raw data come from?
Property "price paid" data provided by the Land Registry, and Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) data provided by Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities.
How do you know the square footage of properties?
We match the Land Registry data to EPC data provided by the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities. Due to the fact that not all properties sold have had an EPC and vagaries of addressing in the UK, we are not able to determine the square footage of all properties, but we can usually get sufficient coverage.

The private paid data is updated once per month when released by the Land Registry, typically towards the end of each calendar month covering up to the end of the previous calendar month. The energy performance certificate database is updated monthly.

How is the raw data processed?
Duplicates from multiple sources are matched and reconciled as far as possible. Listings with obvious errors, where price or number or bedrooms appear out of range, are discarded. Yields are calculated by comparing only properties with the same number of bedrooms, e.g. 3-bedroom properties for rent with 3-bedroom properties for sale.
What is the yield calculation used?
The calculation used is (average_weekly_asking_rent * 52 / average_asking_price), expressed as a percentage. It is a top-line gross yield, meaning no expenses are considered.

Duplicates from multiple sources are matched and reconciled as far as possible. Yields are calculated by comparing only properties with the same number of bedrooms, e.g. 3-bedroom properties for rent with 3-bedroom properties for sale.
