Property portal Zoopla have begun listing their rental properties simultaneously on Facebook’s MarketPlace, the social platform’s answer to both Ebay and Craigslist.
Zoopla has said its deal will upload 300,000 homes to rent onto MarketPlace, making it in one go the largest rental property platform outside of the big three portals in the UK.

“This integration extends our position as the best value digital marketing partner in the UK for agents. We will continue to provide our agent partners with maximum exposure for their listings and brands along with the widest range of services to help them generate additional leads and revenues.”
