Descriptiontext

Houseful Limited, formerly Zoopla Property Group Plc (ZPG), is a UK-headquartered property technology holding company operating three independent businesses across consumer property search, estate-agency software, and property data and analytics. Its consumer brand Zoopla is a property listing and search platform serving home-movers in the UK; estate-agent software brands Alto and Jupix provide CRM, property management, and workflow tools to UK agents; and Hometrack (UK) and Calcasa (Netherlands) deliver automated valuation models (AVMs) and property analytics to lenders, agents, and institutional clients. The group also operates Prime Location for premium listings and Mojo as a mortgage comparison and brokerage service, and previously expanded a price-comparison vertical through Uswitch, Confused.com, money.co.uk, Rastreator.com, and LeLynx.fr.

The group monetises through a mix of channels: agent subscription and listing fees on Zoopla and Prime Location, SaaS licensing for Alto and Jupix, AVM and data-licensing revenue at Hometrack and Calcasa, mortgage brokerage economics via Mojo, and price-comparison lead generation in the energy/utilities and financial-services verticals. The technology stack — evidenced by current job listings — centres on AWS and Databricks for data, React/TypeScript/C# for product, and Python-based ML for valuation and search ranking. The company is registered at The Cooperage, 5 Copper Row, London SE1 2LH, employs 251-500 staff, and was formerly listed on the London Stock Exchange (lse:ZPG) before being taken private and rebranded to Houseful.
