Zoopla

ZOOPLA PROPERTY GROUP OWNS SOME OF THE UK’S MOST-TRUSTED, HOME-RELATED DIGITAL PLATFORMS (INCL. ZOOPLA, USWITCH, PRIMELOCATION, MONEY.CO.UK).

Founded by serial entrepreneur, Alex Chesterman OBE (LoveFilm, latterly Cazoo), in 2008, Zoopla blazed the trail for digitisation in the property industry.

DMGT’s history with ZPG began in 2011 when our Digital Property Group (comprising Primelocation.com, Globrix.com and FindaProperty.com) merged with Zoopla. We became a majority shareholder of the merged entity, taking the name Zoopla, and led it to IPO on the London Stock Exchange in 2014.

Zoopla then made several successful acquisitions of complementary businesses to the Zoopla property portal and became known as ZPG plc. In 2018, ZPG was sold for £2.2 billion to Silver Lake Partners, at which point we exited our 29% stake.
