The overall reputation of Purplebricks is significantly marred by consistent complaints regarding poor customer service and inadequate support. Customers frequently express frustration over unresponsive agents, lack of communication, and unmet service promises, leading to a perception of the company as unprofessional and unreliable. While some reviews highlight successful transactions and cost savings, these positive experiences are overshadowed by numerous reports of distressing situations, such as delays in property management and mismanagement of listings. The prevailing sentiment suggests that potential clients should consider traditional agents for a more reliable and supportive experience.

We sold our property through purple bricks.
The PB's agent was Nicola Kirk who was very professional throughout the whole process.
We had several viewings and a confirmed buyer within 2 weeks at the full asking price!
The follow up has been excellent.
Sounds great on paper, but in reality all they do is take photographs and stick them on Rightmove and Zoopla. Their valuations are based on others in the area (you can check that yourself using Rightmove to see what has sold), and usually they let you decide (they gave me a range of between £120 and £130K). But the killer is, when you feel they're doing nothing for you, and want to sack them after 3 months without a viewing, you can't, well not without paying them in FULL. May sound cheap, but there's a reason for that.
Answer: Offer Assist doesn't cost anything extra. It's included in the flat fee. I just sold my house through PurpleBricks and Assistance to the selling process was excellent.
Answer: They would show your listings because you put down in the listing you are offering a percentage to the agent who sells it. In my case I offered 2 percent which is more than fair, but I saved on the listing fee because I did it myself through Purple Bricks. Agents want both listing and selling and some only list and make up to 2.5 percent of sales a lot of money on a million dollar home for doing basically nothing. That is why a lot of agents stay away from Purple Bricks and others like it, you are taking away their cash cow.
Answer: Yes, but you'll have to pay Purplebricks $1500 to get out of the contract. I'm trying to do this right now. They are extortionist.
Save thousands when you sell. A faster process when you buy. Avoid real misery. Purplebricks is a refreshingly simple platform that's transforming real estate.
