Johnston Press is set to launch an online property platform on Thursday with UK property website Zoopla.
The partnership will bring together Zoopla’s online property expertise with the sites of the publisher’s regional network of newspaper titles.
Users of the new websites can expect to find properties for sale and to rent, instant online property valuations and local market statistics.
Johnston Press chief executive Ashley Highfield said: “Zoopla is one of the most innovative players in online property and this partnership sees them power an exciting new property platform for our local websites, adding further value to
both our online audience and property advertisers.”
Alex Chesterman, founder and chief executive of Zoopla, added: “We are excited to be launching this strategic relationship with Johnston Press, one of the UK’s leading media groups. The addition of our property functionality across their
network of local websites is a natural fit.”
