Comment on agent fees
Their fees would be fantastic if you are lucky enough to sell. However you must remember you pay the fee in advance. So when they go non existent after you've handed over your money and you have no choice but to go elsewhere you are effectively paying estate agent fees twice. So in reality they are a very expensive mistake

I have had a similar experience with Purple Bricks. They were very keen before signing up with them, ringing nearly every day but when their sign went up, no viewings, a call once a week at best. Tried to end the agreement and they charged us £1300 to break the contract even though they had not done any viewings. I spoke to an adviser who lodged my complaint but the area manager never telephoned. My TruePilot review got removed. Appalling. ...
