ZPG, parent group of UK property website Zoopla, has increased its agency-orientated software offerings with the acquisition of software provider Expert Agent. The purchase follows the announcement on January 31 that ZPG was in negotiations on a potential further acquisition. The firm's product — a cloud based solution to help estate agents manage marketing, communications and inventory — is used in some 2,300 branches across the country. Under the terms of the deal, Expert Agent will continue to operate as a standalone platform, with its employees becoming part of Zoopla's Property Services division. In an interview with Business Insider, Mr Smith said that he was "delighted" by the deal.
