'Zoopla lost initial share, but our Buy rating [of Zoopla] reflects a view this will reverse over the next few years, and we see UBS evidence lab data suggesting stabilization of its position in the last months as supportive” says the report.' https://www.estateagenttoday.co.uk/breaking-news/2015/7/portal-wars-bank-says-otms-impact-declining
Market chatter about Gotham City Research planning on releasing a report - seems all to have been caused by a tweet; I believe GCR have said it's actually another company they're short of.
Any reason for 10% drop?
May shed some light Meanwhile, Moneysupermarket.com Group (LON:MONY) shares fell after the price comparison website said the U.K. energy regulator was looking into whether to include it in a competition probe. Shares dropped 9% to 278p. The could also look at at uSwitch, which home seller Zoopla (LON:ZPLA) officially acquired earlier this week for £143mln in initial cash. Shares in Zoopla dropped 8.6% to 250p.
Today's fall? Is it the extra discounted shares, diluting the total, added to the tremendous rise recently And I suppose anyone buying at this discounted price would be tempted to sell and double their money I sold at a small profit at 202p in April; after being under water for ages, I also thought I'd booked a larger profit, as I hadn't done the maths properly
Any reason for the sudden fall? Is this relating to the share offering anniversary?
Members of Zoopla Property Group (ZPG) who purchased discounted shares ahead of the firm’s Initial Public Offering last June will have the opportunity to purchase the same amount of shares to mark the one-year anniversary of Zoopla’s float. Under the terms of ZPG’s Member Offer, those who bought shares last year and still remain members of ZPG will have the opportunity to purchase shares on the upcoming IPO anniversary date (June 18) at the same fixed price of £1.76 per share. Zoopla says this will allow them to score an instant profit of over £1,000 per office based on ZPG’s current share price. Around 4,000 Zoopla members purchased £9.2m worth of discounted shares, equating to a £1.8m giveaway, according to the portal. Zoopla says it will be directly communicating with eligible members in the coming days to give details of how they can apply for the discounted shares. “At the time of our IPO last year we were happy to be able to offer our agent members the opportunity to buy shares at a discounted price and become shareholders and were delighted with the take up by our members,” says Alex Chesterman, Founder & CEO of ZPG. “Those who took us up on the offer have made a healthy profit and over 90% of them remain members today and are eligible to buy more shares at £1.76 as part of the anniversary offer. It is great that we have been able to reward these members for their loyalty with over £5.5m over the last year,” he adds. The portal has also announced that is has completed the acquisition of price comparison website uSwitch. The acquisition has gone through after ZPG received approval from shareholders and the Financial Conduct Authority. ZPG says it is now working on developing products which will directly benefit agent members by allowing them to source the best utilities deals and earn fees while saving money for their clients. The Group also says that it is planning further investments in product and marketing and enhanced consumer engagement. Chesterman describes the acquisition as an ‘important milestone’ in Zoopla’s quest to create the ultimate property market resource. “Being able to help consumers both find their next home and save money on their household bills is a great fit and we are excited about the new products that we are working on and which will create revenue opportunities for our members,” he says. Last month Zoopla announced an 11% rise in visits and a 23% fall in its number of member agents in its half-year trading statement.
264.7 when the ask price is only 260.6. Why? LLOYDS is suck!
a devastating effect on a number of Companies that have committed to joining them in sussex, the agents that have joined up are few and the refferals non-exisitent. One I know has managed to get out of the agreement and get back to Zoopla another has been less sucessful and been threaten with legal action by on the market. How long can they hold on to their agents in these areas ? they are ready walking..

what are you considering is around the corner?
who are you hoping will buy?
OnTheMarket have been quiet for sometime, something is coming round the corner and very soon, perhaps why Zoopla spent all of last week putting out press releases.
Up 9p, plus 5.5%, bid on the way? Better results??? On the market is off the market??????????
The usual uplift in late winter early spring is not seen here. more shorts opened on zpla
By Tremblant, could have done .49% but deliberately announced .50%. Trouble coming.
Had a phone call from them today, asking me to come back, I told them that it will never happen after they mail targeted my individual vendors giving them inflated stats based on central London. She said " We have been getting a lot of that complaint"
I own a small estate agent with 3 offices and have been in the industry for 20+ years. in my opinion zoopla are in big trouble. they must be losing agents hand over fist. Let's see what the share price is in 12 months..100 at best

Agent based in Milton Keynes over 1000 properties listed on rightmove, 905 properties on Zoopla only 175 on OTM...Internet leads we get about 55% of our leads from Rightmove & 45% from Zoopla....feed back im getting looked at the sight nothing on it...back to Rightmove & Zoopla. Only 7 agents in the whole of the Milton Keynes area have opted for OTM!!!!!!!!!!!!!! one of the fasted growing cities outside london and there are 115 agents listed on Rightmove and 52 on Zoopla and some fool says goodbye zoopla.
