DESCRIPTION

Since 2008 Zoopla has continuously grown to become one of the UK’s leading and most recognised Consumer brands. Touching most of the country’s adult population, Zoopla has transformed the property portal landscape with the introduction of a highly differentiated proposition to empower consumers to make smarter property decisions.
