    Wow.

    If any local EA round here would charge £2k fixed including solicitors, I'd have jumped on them in a shot.

    But sadly we aren't living in dreamland over here.
  • Hi. I booked a house viewing on line with purple bricks. Chose a time and received a confirmation appointment which I attended. The occupiers were most surprised as they had bought the house months before. Poor way to run a business.

    And you signed up just to make something up about Purplebricks? This so didn't happen!

    I call this is a worried 'traditional' agent! As someone who has just sold through Purplebricks and is purchasing through a traditional agent (a large established national agent), PB have been head and shoulders above the other agent, who have, to say the least, proved themselves inept so far.........

    So my Purplebricks experience only got better - accepted an offer at more than I'd expected to get for my house, after only 2 weeks and 2 days. :)

    Meanwhile I can only echo kleapatra's experience - more than a couple of the high street agents I'm having to deal with to get house viewings sorted frankly couldn't organise a !!!! up in a brewery. Utterly inept.

    I used Emoov. They have multiple fee options. I chose post completion fee option (on hindsight I should have chosen smaller upfront fixed fee instead).

    If you are confident that your house will sell near/above asking price then you can go with fixed fee option.

    If in doubt, avoid fixed fee option. I didn't choose PB as their fee is payable even if your house not sold.
    Happiness is buying an item and then not checking its price after a month to discover it was reduced further.
