What a morning! Now Zoopla suspends its estate agent fees entirely for up to nine months
Zoopla has followed both OTM and, this morning, Rightmove and entirely cut its portal fees to estate agents, but with some strings attached. The portal is to pause its fees for up to nine months for agents with fewer than 30 branches, or 80% of its customer database. Zoopla is offering two packages – nine months for free if an agent leaves Rightmove, and up to five months for free if they don’t. Both packages then require agents to sign up to an 18-month contract after the free listing term has ended and the portal’s normal fees resume. Zoopla has also committed not to increase its fees during these new 18-month contracts. Agents are able to sign up to either deal up until the end of April 2020, with the new terms to take effect from 1st May 2020. Charlie Bryant, CEO, Zoopla (left), said: “We have said consistently that agents are at the heart of everything we do, and today’s actions demonstrate the role we can play in helping to secure the long-term success of our agent partners. “It’s our aim to support and work alongside agents to unlock new opportunities, deliver the utmost value for money, and to…

The Negotiator Conference & Expo 2019
The grand halls and corridors of London’s Grosvenor Hotel on Park Lane were buzzing with hundreds of delegates, speakers and exhibitors on the 29th November 2019, as they arrived to join The Negotiator Conference 2019. In this stunning venue, with a reputation for first class guest speakers and panel sessions offering hard hitting debate between property leaders such as Michael Stoop, Nick Leeming, Lucy Morton, Lord Best, Peter Bolton King and David Cox (plus many more), The Negotiator Conference stage was ready. Lord Best drew gasps from the audience when he suggested that the end of the small or ‘accidental’ landlord is nigh, that the PRS will increasingly be supplied by larger-portfolio operators. The focus was the property industry in 2020 – exploring what the future holds for sales and letting agents in today’s volatile business environment, including Brexit, regulation, customer hesitation, technology, online agents, diminishing high street footfall, taxation, money laundering, tenant fees and (the then) looming General Election. Brilliantly chaired by The Times columnist Lord Daniel Finkelstein OBE, speakers included leading estate agency senior management, industry consultants, analysts, regulators, industry association chiefs and tech innovators. Going to conferences is more than just listening to debates and, as ever…
