Next week sees the launch of Zoopla’s first ‘Property Pitch’ event, in which the property portal will take over Edgbaston Cricket Ground in Birmingham.

This will be the first in a series of roadshows that explore local property market trends and provide regional market predictions for the year ahead, while leveraging Zoopla’s position as the Official Property Partner of England Cricket.

Following the update from Zoopla’s Director of Research, Richard Donnell, the team will then dive into an exclusive product trial, currently available for West Midland agents only, designed to give them access to the high-quality homeowner audience.

There will then be a panel session, chaired by Zoopla’s Commercial Director, Alex Rose, where industry experts will discuss the hottest topics facing agents in 2025. Panellists include Adam Pritchard, Owner of Taylors Estate Agents, Steph Walker, Founder of TAUK and Rich Hayes, CEO of Mojo Mortgages and COO of Zoopla.

The morning will finish up with the chance to network and win cricket day match tickets at Edgbaston Cricket Ground.

“We have an action-packed agenda, with some fantastic industry experts in attendance, as well as a chance to network with peers from the West Midlands region. This event marks the beginning of the local element of our partnership with England Cricket, with more exciting opportunities for agents to come in 2025.”

The Birmingham even takes place on Thursday 13th February and agents can register here.  Additional details regarding future events will be available in due course.
