purple brick

A friend of mine sold their house through PB recently. She sold quickly, at the price she asked for and was very positive about the process and chap who she liaised with.

It sounds as though it is a highly variable offering!

The true value in an estate agent is not in getting an offer on the property, it is the post offer pre completion work. Leasing with solicitors, keeping sellers and buyers calm and updated, and not whipping them into a frenzy.

I looked at all online offerings, and for me, the option of having an office to walk into and a person to speak to was worth the additional £400 in an already stressful time.

Horses for courses.

I am currently selling with Purple Bricks and they are crap, dont bother with them, its a con as they get there £798 regardless if they sell your property or not, as there is a stupid 10 month rule, that if you sell/pull out of the sale then you pay them (fair enough) but what they dont tell you is that if your property doesnt sell after 10 months they still want paying the £798, so they have no incentive to sell your property at all and the communication with your expert agent is non existant. All in all wish id of gone to a high street agent as would have sold by now.

What you didn't mention here is that if you pull out of the sale/change mind, yes you still pay the fee, but when you DO want to sell the house again later you don't have to pay them again to sell it.
