NI house sales website PropertyPal bought by Dublin firm
PropertyPal, Northern Ireland's main house sales website, has been bought by a company which operates a similar business in the Republic of Ireland. The new owner is Dublin-based Distilled which operates the house sales and rentals website. Distilled's other brands include the DoneDeal online car marketplace. Last year, PropertyPal merged with rival site Propertynews, although the two continue to operate as separate brands. That deal came after the entrepreneur Cecil Hetherington bought into PropertyPal. Mr Hetherington is the founder of Used Cars NI which is also being bought by Distilled. In 2023, Distilled made a pre-tax profit of €12.2million (£10.6m) on turnover of €41.4m. Emma Marley will continue in her role as CEO of Used Cars NI. Likewise, Jordan Buchanan will continue in his role as CEO of PropertyPal. The companies will be overseen by a new Northern Ireland Board to be chaired by Cecil Hetherington.
