ZPG invests in innovative proptech start-up

September 16, 2016

Zoopla Property Group (ZPG) announced yesterday that it has invested in and agreed an exclusive long-term strategic partnership with Bricklane.com, the UK’s latest innovative proptech start-up.

Bricklane.com is launching the UK’s first online Property ISA, aiming to help ‘Generation Rent’ get a toehold in the property market whilst saving up for a deposit on a new home.

ZPG will also promote the Bricklane.com Property ISA on the Zoopla website under an exclusive partnership agreement and as part of Zoopla’s new ‘Invest’ channel due to launch later this month.

Paul Whitehead, Group Strategy Director of ZPG said, “Bricklane.com have come up with a great, painless way for savers to get exposure to the housing market. This product is especially useful for first-time buyers saving towards a deposit or homeowners looking to move up the ladder who too often have seen house prices grow at a much faster rate than their savings. The innovative online Property ISA will allow those saving for a property to keep pace with the market. This product is perfect for our investment strategy at ZPG and our soon-to-be-launched Invest channel on Zoopla.”
