Connells Group has signed a new five-year contract covering its estate agency businesses.

Under the agreement, Connells Group’s 1,263 branches across 86 estate agency brands, including Barnard Marcus, Hamptons, John D. Wood & Co., Bairstow Eves, Bridgfords and William H Brown, will continue to list their properties on Zoopla.

Connells reported a 12% increase in vendor lead growth from Zoopla in 2025, which the property portal says generated up to £18m in potential sales commission.

The agreement continues to provide Connells with access to Zoopla’s Prospect Plus product, along with other listings products and data insights to support property marketing and brand visibility.

Richard Twigg, chief finance and commercial officer at Connells Group, said: “Zoopla provides us with high quality leads of buyers, sellers and renters and highly effective valuation leads. Their continued investment in homeowners and product innovation to improve lead quality is delivering increased performance across the entire Connells Group. Zoopla is a core pillar of our marketing strategy, and its brand plays a key role when winning instructions. We are delighted to commit to this multi-year contract.”

Paul Whitehead, CEO of Zoopla, commented: “This is a powerful endorsement of the investments we are making and the significant progress we’ve delivered in becoming a true strategic partner to agents. Our focus remains relentless: driving tangible return on investment through high-quality homeowners, market-leading products, and our unique data insights giving agents more choice in how they grow with Zoopla. We look forward to supporting Connells’ growth ambitions for many years to come.”
