Propertyfinder was losing hideous sums of money and the management buried their heads in the sand thinking that REA and News International would continue to fund irrelevant to the fact of major losses can not be sustained in any business. ,Zoopla should have just let the company close it would have automatically stepped up rank. REA where pulling out of Propertyfinder,as the business model was extremeley non cost effective after 3.5 years they could not turn it around even with the help of news international... Even if the management buy out went ahead then they had too many from microsoft.. who thought they could run a property webiste having failed spectacularly after a year and a half at it , Zoopla grow your brand name without flogging the dead horse Game Over.
