Never use. I checked houses sold through Zoopla and Rightmove and PB's sold non in my area, misleading. Next, no detailed valuation or specific terms sent after signing up just a prominent pic of house, (As soon as you click on the image later discover you are supposed to have waived your right to a cool off period by doing so). Hidden terms discovered later, Additional fees upon completion either to the conveyancing company or direct to P.b's. Service very poor, online platform does not wor ...
