Rightmove shows a lot of property data — floor plans, tenure, council tax bands, nearby stations — but it's all locked inside individual listing pages. There's no way to pull it into a spreadsheet, compare across properties, or use it in any structured way. If you want to know the price-per-square-foot of every 3-bed in your target area, you'd have to click into every single listing and write the numbers down by hand.
This guide shows you how to extract detailed property data from Rightmove automatically using a free Chrome extension with a feature called Deep Scrape.
What data can you get?
A standard scan of a Rightmove search page gives you the basics: address, postcode, price, bedrooms, property type, agent, date listed, and key features. But Deep Scrape goes further by visiting each individual listing page and extracting details that aren't shown on the search results cards:
This gives you everything you need for serious property analysis — and it's all structured in columns, ready for sorting and filtering in a spreadsheet.
How to use Deep Scrape
Install the extension
Add Export Rightmove to CSV from the Chrome Web Store. It's free and takes a few seconds.
Search Rightmove and open the extension
Run your property search on Rightmove, then click the extension icon in your toolbar.
Toggle on Deep Scrape
Before scanning, flip the Deep Scrape toggle to on. You'll see additional column checkboxes appear — floor area, tenure, council tax, nearest station, agent phone, description, listing ID, coordinates, and price per sqft. Select the ones you want.
Scan and export
Click Scan Page. The extension reads the search cards first, then visits each listing page to extract the extra details. This takes a few seconds longer than a basic scan (roughly 1–2 seconds per listing). When it finishes, choose your export format — CSV, Excel, JSON, or HTML — and download.
What is Deep Scrape actually doing?
When you enable Deep Scrape, the extension opens each property's listing page in the background and reads the structured data that Rightmove embeds in the page. It extracts information from the same source the listing page uses to display details to you — nothing hidden, nothing bypassed. It's the same data you'd see if you clicked into the listing yourself, just collected automatically across all listings at once.
The data is extracted, structured into clean columns, and added to your export alongside the basic scan fields. Everything stays local in your browser.
Practical uses for the data
Price per square foot analysis
This is the single most useful metric for comparing properties. A 2-bed flat at £400,000 might sound cheaper than a 3-bed at £500,000, but if the 2-bed is 600 sqft (£667/sqft) and the 3-bed is 1,200 sqft (£417/sqft), the bigger property is dramatically better value. Deep Scrape calculates this for you automatically.
Station distance filtering
If your commute matters, export the data with nearest station distances and filter in Excel. You can quickly eliminate anything more than a 10-minute walk from a station, or sort to find the closest options.
Tenure comparison
Leasehold flats come with service charges and ground rent that can materially affect the real cost of ownership. By exporting tenure data, you can separate freehold from leasehold properties and factor this into your analysis.
Mapping with coordinates
The latitude and longitude columns let you plot properties on a map in Google Sheets, Tableau, or any GIS tool. This is useful for spotting clusters of value or visualising how prices change across a neighbourhood.
Is there a Rightmove API?
Rightmove does not offer a public API for individual users. Their data feeds are reserved for estate agents and large property portals. For everyone else — investors, buyers, researchers — a browser extension like this is the most practical way to get structured data. It reads what's already publicly displayed on the site, structured and ready for analysis.
Get the full picture on every listing
Install the extension, enable Deep Scrape, and get floor area, tenure, stations, and 20+ data fields in one export.
