“Our Property Services division achieved solid ARPA growth across every vertical – UK Agency, New Homes, Overseas and Commercial – demonstrating the Group’s exceptional value proposition as one of the most cost-effective digital marketing channels for property professionals. Traffic to our property platform remained strong with high levels of user engagement and we recently passed the significant milestone of over seven million downloads of our property apps.
“The Comparison Services division outperformed expectations in the four months since the acquisition of uSwitch, with both the Energy and Communications verticals benefitting from our market-leading position and increasingly competitive consumer deals. We continue to innovate across both divisions of the business in line with our mission of providing the most useful resources for consumers when finding, moving or managing their home and being the most effective marketing channel for related business partners.”
