Zoopla's role in helping you find your next home

Zoopla is not an estate agent

It's the perfect place to find an estate agent or other property professionals and view the properties they are marketing.

Whether you’re looking for a house, flat, or any other type of property, Zoopla has got your home search covered. Zoopla’s powerful search tools mean you can find homes your way - search by price or location, or filter by features, such as garden, garage or balcony. 

Save your favourite listings and searches, set custom alerts, and contact estate agents for a viewing or valuation straight from the app. Get notified about your saved property listings and home searches - so you’re the first to know when a new home is just listed (or just reduced).

You can access data and instant house price estimates to stay in-the-know on house prices and what’s selling in your area. With Zoopla, you’ll always have a clear understanding of your home’s value. 

We want to help you find your next home, and we want to make sure you can do so safely

Agents who advertise on Zoopla

All our agents are vetted and are required to be registered with a redress scheme. A redress scheme is a government approved independent organisation that works to resolve disputes between estate agents and consumers. 

There are currently two schemes The Property Ombudsman and the Property Redress Scheme; you can check this by searching for their members on their websites.

There are, however, still situations in which things could go wrong and unauthorised content could be displayed on our website.

Note

  • If you have a concern about a property or agent on Zoopla, please use the "Report this listing" function, located towards the bottom of each property page.

Bad actors posing as Zoopla

If you ever come across a property advert on any other website (or offline) that says it is being marketed by ‘Zoopla‘ or a company using a similar name (for example, Zoopla Property Services), then it will not be genuine or from us. 

Zoopla are not involved in any part of the property transaction once you have connected with a property professional on our website. We will never facilitate viewings, payments for deposits, rent or other elements of the property transaction.

Note

We advise that you:

  • Stop any engagement with the user

We may ask you to forward any e-mails from the individual(s) to us as well, to help aid our investigation. Where necessary, our Compliance team will investigate further.
