I haven’t heard from Purple Bricks since the first day in December. I have sent Dustin a message but still no response in over a month. The solicitor received all or documents signed and completed on 16th December. The buyer has tried to get in touch with Purple Bricks to chase it up. I can’t bra red solicitors yesterday and he said he apologised and explained he was waiting on a document from Land registry but he just so happens to have received it right now. He said he will get it over to ...
