The Company and Our Investment

Zoopla is an online property information service and community website integrating elements such as house pricing, free valuation estimates, and ‘For Sale' listings, as well as local community information - all on one award-winning site. Launched in January 2008, the Company has become one of the most visited property websites in the UK.

Zoopla is now the UK's leading website for house prices and value data, providing the most comprehensive source of residential property market information. Zoopla expects to become the website of choice for anyone interested in the property market.

The rapid success the Company has enjoyed since launch proves there is a clear gap in the market for a service that integrates different customer requirements and provides transparent, comprehensive information. The Company required investment to enhance its unique technology platform and expand its sales and marketing functions.

"The founders and board of Zoopla are delighted to be working with Octopus Ventures and, having been the fastest growing UK property website of 2008, are now looking forward to accelerating the transformation of the UK property market for both professionals and consumers in 2009."

Alex Chesterman, CEO, Zoopla
