Zoopla has added more than 2,400 estate agent branches, including online-only agencies, since lockdown began in March 2020.

Altogether the number of branch customers now live on the site, as well as new home developments, has reached 19,500, a three-year high.

According to Zoopla, it has continued to improve the service it offers to customers over recent months, with the launch of its new company vision in January marking 18 months of development, and millions of pounds of investment.

Andy Marshall, chief commercial officer at Zoopla, said: “As we mark just over a year in since the first lockdown began, we’re delighted that during this time over 2,400 new customers have chosen to partner with Zoopla.

“Our recently launched Vision sets Zoopla’s intention to be the ecosystem of choice amongst agents and we look forward to welcoming many more in the coming months.

“Our investment in improving our product offering is also paying dividends for agents, with listings that offer virtual viewings selling and letting 12% faster than those without, resulting in a 6% increase in leads.

“With more exciting launches coming soon, we’re looking forward to bringing the agent community with us on our journey to re-imagine the property market.”
