I have used these before and had a great experience but me just quickly you in on why to AVOID them now. I went live on the 26th of July, I opted hosted viewings. They organised to have someone do my hosted viewings who was on holiday until the 19th of August. Every time someone wanted to book a viewing they can only do it online and were faced with choosing a date from the 19th of August. That is 24 days potentials are supposed to wait to get a viewing. Can you imagine telling that your buyers? The service costs an extra £600 between the unhosted package to the package that includes hosted viewings. I must declare now that i chose to pay upfront because it was half price (cheapskate, I know) I regret that choice now, actually I regret choosing Purple Bricks altogether. I had to phone them to them know of their mistake can you believe, how is nobody managing this? Everything seems to be done internally with them via email so do not expect someone to rush to your aid because it is not happening. Phil my account manager sent an email to the manager of hosted viewings, guess what, she was on holiday too so that never got picked up either. Phil said he would put my account forward to this external company called Viewber where they can put out jobs local estate agents to take on the role of hosted viewings. Days went by with no contact from them. To rectify the situation I felt forced into asking them to remove the hosted viewings package so I could do the viewings myself so i could set the availability to get viewings to now rather than the 19th of August. I did not want to do the viewings, I had literally just come out of hospital after skin surgery, I was in no fit state but what can you do? I put in a complaint and just today received the outcome. You will laugh at this, they offered me a £100 refund. You know where they can stick that! Honestly, you really do get what you pay with this service, run away now you haven't already. You are still here, interested to know more are we? The photos are shocking, too much contrast, and oddly made the rooms look smaller than they are, what happened to them looking bigger like they always do? Plus you are only "allowed" 15 when the guy takes 50+ The floor maps were all out of wack making rectangular or square rooms appear like they were trapezoid. The house description, as they now no longer use actual people to come round or know the local area, do not expect them to describe the lovely area your home is in or what is around it, that is far too much effort. Ai it is you. If you are still considering Purple Bricks, give your head a wobble and reread this. Repeat as many times as necessary until it sinks in.

I first listed my place in January 2025 (I think). I got 4 genuine viewers, 2 of whom made offers. Then things went quiet so I got 5 mates to book viewings. That's 5 unique email addresses + 5 mobile numbers. After each of my mates booked a viewing, sure enough a '' viewing was booked. This ... Read Full Review

Comments on Agent Fees

Dealing with a online real estate agent Purplebricks is a nightmare for us buying a property. The first day we visit a house where the hired freelance viewing assistant does not have the pincode to open the key box. The freelance assistant already file a complaint with Purplebricks two days earlier with the same issue where he also had to disappoint potential viewers. Nothing was done to sort this issue in those days and therefor we were the second viewers he had to disappoint. Onwards to the next house, bit of a walk away from public transport, and at that next address there was nobody to open the door. Ofcourse Purplebricks blaims this on the owner who was supposed to show the place to us. With their beautiful Purplebricks sign in the garden they still don't take responsibility for the end to end service. Both cases show why you need have a local real estate agent who has knowledge of the neighbourhood, knows the house him or herself, and can actually add value to the visit and to the conversation with the potential buyer. When you call Purplebricks better have enough credit on your phone since they will put you on hold long and regularly. The last issue is now they want to have our own postal address certified by a solicitor ($$) while that was not the case with the previous purchase few months ago with a local real estate agent. Let us all do ourselves a favour and do business with local real estate agents who actually add value to the sales and buying process.

The agent fees appears cheaper than other agents but they did not say it is only for six months which is quite deceitful.
