We have acquired Houseprices.co.uk

We’ve added Houseprices.co.uk, the UK’s #1 sold house prices website, to the growing list of websites that we now either own directly or power exclusively.
Launched in 2005, Houseprices.co.uk was one of the first websites in the UK to offer Land Registry sold house price information free to consumers. It quickly became, and has since remained, the leading standalone website for property price paid data in the UK, attracting over 1 million visits per month and consistently listed as one of the Top 10 most-visited property websites in the UK, according to Nielsen (Source: MediaTel/UKOM).
Houseprices.co.uk offers users free access to over 11 million house price paid records in England and Wales that have sold since 2000. We will continue to operate it as a separate brand and website but it will now link directly to the Zoopla.co.uk website, allowing users to easily access local properties for sale, current property value estimates and other features and tools available on the Zoopla.co.uk website whilst also extending our reach even further and giving our agent and developer members exposure to a unique and unrivalled online audience.
The deal is a natural fit for us given our strength in online property pricing information. It is also a win for estate agents and homebuilders who advertise their properties on Zoopla.co.uk as they will now benefit from further exposure and leads as a result of this deal.
Houseprices.co.uk has built a very strong following over the years by offering a great service, which we intend to continue.

I do not like the Zoopla format of Houseprices. Much prefered the way Houseprice.co.uk gave the details of latest sales in an area by date of sales in a postal code. Please inform if you intend to return to this format as an alternative to the Zoopla site.
