I would not recommend purplebricks for LETTINGS.
Avoid 'Troy Cartwright' if your application reaches him in the pre-tenancy department. Once the application reach backoffice it is difficult to get hold of them. I kept chasing them for updates but they are literally lairs and kept ...

Do not waste your money. Their service is appalling. They take your money 10 months in whether you have sold or not. Absolutely no help from the agent. Always an excuse for not being available.

Hi Adela, please contact me on joshua.simpson@purplebricks.com to discuss this property in Greenford. I’m sure whatever viewing this is for, it can be arranged at your convenience. From the small bit of information provided I can’t work out which property you’re talking about and your name has not come up for any recent viewings. I hope to hear from you.
Thanks ...

Got caught out with the classic Purplebricks over-valuing of my property. The agent swore he had just sold a house locally for £425k and that mine was much better and therefore we should market at £450k.

Purple Bricks totally lied and misrepresented their services and conned me into signing a deferred payment scheme without explaining they expected payment for doing bugger all.
Complete and utterly incompetent. Cheating bunch of con- artists.
