ZPG claims leads worth £1m from MoveIt for member agents
ZPG’s supplier panel tool MoveIt has generated referrals worth £1m for the company’s agent customers since it was bought by the portal giant in April 2016 as part of its £75 million Property Software Group (PSG) acquisition. PSG launched MoveIt, which was thought up by Portsmouth estate agent Jefferies & Partners during the early noughties but subsequently sold to PSG in 2014, to offer agents a way to access panels of suppliers including conveyancing, financial services and, more recently since uSwitch was acquired by ZPG, utility suppliers. MoveIt offers more than convenience, though – agents receive referral fees when their customers sign up to services sourced through MoveIt and, as sales instructions volumes drop and the lettings fees ban looms, offers agents an opportunity to up-sell products. The MoveIt tool is a clear example of the advantage Zoopla wants to offer agents over its rival Rightmove by creating a portal that offers agents a spectrum of services within the property market. ZPG acquisitions A more recent example of this includes its acquisition of print marketing firm Ravensworth, agents software firm Expert Agent, agent website supplier Technicweb and market data cruncher Hometrack. Commenting on the MoveIt milestone, ZPG Property Services Managing…

Property Software Group (PSG) goes to Zoopla for £75 million
Zoopla Property Group Plc (“ZPG”) has announced that it has conditionally agreed to acquire The Property Software Group (“PSG”), the UK’s market-leading provider of software solutions to property professionals, used in over 8,000 agency branches. PSG was sold by the Guardian Media Group in December 2013 for £17.8million, in a management buyout backed by LDC and this sale at £75 million brings a return to LDC of over four times its investment, just 27 months later. An impressive sum for a company that was established less than 10 years ago and made underlying profits of £5.1million in the last financial year (to March 2016). PSG software products provide daily workflow tools to over 8,000 estate and letting agencies (quoted as being around 40 per cent) across the UK through its cloud-based (Alto, Jupix) and desktop (Vebra, Core, CFP) software products and provides essential systems for the day-to-day management of inventory, marketing and communications as well as diary management, chain progression, business reporting tools and financial processes. PSG’s newest products, MyPropertyFile and MoveIT, provide agents with digital platforms for engaging more effectively with their clients and generating additional revenue streams from a variety of property-related services. The acquisition of PSG is,…

Our Events
The Negotiator Expo 2015
The property market is changing, with new demands and new competition, but new technology, new support systems and new services all help savvy agents stay ahead of the game. In our post event survey, 70 per cent of delegates said they would do business with exhibitors that they had met. The lighter side With a packed programme, sustenance is vital – delegates had an almost continual availability of this throughout the day; welcomed with pastries, cookies and coffee, pepped up in the morning break with a further range of biscuits, delighted by delicacies over a long lunchtime, delivered by roving waiters, tasty bites included foie gras, fish and chips, crayfish rolls, roast beef and Yorkshire pudding and mini fillet steaks (too name but a few), all washed down with wine and soft drinks. Sweet toothed delegates also enjoyed a splendid range of mini desserts to set them up for a tough afternoon. All the exhibitors were interesting. I particularly liked Flamefish – a new option that we hadn’t thought of. It was great to discuss PSG’s new product, MoveIT – we’ve already signed up for it! This year’s exhibitors included: Professional bodies and organisations: RICS, NAEA, ARLA, UKALA, TDS, PRS,…
