Unfortunately cannot provide 0 stars.
We had the worst rental experience with the letting agent (Tyrone) who would think only about his TrustPilot review and the whole issues we had.
They respond once a week even though now it has been at least two weeks that they don't respond. They wouldn't provide the landlord details and won't fix anything that is supposed to be a duty of the property management.
I highly don't recommend this agency as they are completely unprofessional, they hire people that doesn't know how to read an email or would ignore your emails and let you repeat yourself on the phone when you call them.
A big bunch of clowns to be avoided and specially because they are based in Birmingham and since they are not local, they have no idea what is going on and they don't care.

Same here. I cancelled when I saw the photos online they were awful but now they are demanding £1199 from me. I have now issued a complaint and waiting for a response. This company beware. They get paid if you sell or not. Worth paying extra for a real estate agent to do a real job. ...

Hi, I’m in London and had similar awful experience with Purple bricks. I didn’t pay upfront as I was told and it said on their purple bricks.com website (that closed in the meantime but was live back in 2018) that I only pay the fees after the property is sold so I deferred it. They never bother with viewings, had only a handful over the 10 months period and the property never sold. They blamed it on Brexit yet I have to pay. I will not pay and will go to Property Ombudsman and to court if ...

HI I feel the same, had loads of things go wrong but the last straw was leaving the property unlocked after my only viewing in 3 months, then accusing me of lying about it. I paid £300 extra for the property to be left for days unsecure. I have put a very detailed compliant into the CEO not holding out much hope of any money back. ...
