The app had 11.9m downloads within its first month, and the rate at which traffic converts to sales and lettings enquiries has risen by 36%.

Zoopla says that the number of mobile and tablet leads which Zoopla is delivering to agents is up by 25% compared with a year ago.

“It’s yet another prime example of Zoopla investing in and working hard to help agents compete more effectively in the marketplace and drive more leads to them.

“We are therefore thrilled to see such a significant increase in the number of leads the app is delivering to our agents.
