Property portal Zoopla has reported a 42% increase in valuation leads delivered to estate agents in February 2026 compared to the same month in 2025, following similar growth recorded in January.
The increase in valuation requests comes as the platform’s homeowner tool subscriber base grew by 500,000 over the past three months, reaching a total of 5.6 million users. The tools allow property owners to track their home’s value, monitor local market conditions and assess potential moves.
Regional variations
Valuation leads increased across all regions of Great Britain over the past year, according to Zoopla’s data. The South East and East of England recorded the largest increases, with valuation leads rising by more than 66% year-on-year.
In the North East, North West and Scotland, the portal reported increases of up to 56% in seller leads compared with the previous year.
Agent implications
Rich Hayes, chief operating officer at Zoopla, said: “More homeowners are using Zoopla to understand their home, track value and plan their next move, and that is translating into materially more high quality valuation leads for our agent partners.”
Hayes added that the company’s focus remains on “driving valuable outcomes for our agents which is winning instructions and improving return on investment.”
The data suggests increased homeowner activity at the start of 2026, with southern regions showing particularly strong growth in property valuation requests. The figures may indicate rising seller confidence or increased consideration of property moves among homeowners across Britain.
