Fee fedback The fee of almost £1000 for doing nothing would have been steep. If she had signed a tenant it would have been very reasonable.

Hi Derek. Well that was a bit of a surprise hearing from you after so long. I am keeping extremely well and enjoying my new life in a small village just outside Stafford. I hope that you and yours are all well too. Your comment is much appreciated as I am now exonerated! Yes, I have had to fend off a number of adverse comments.

Very useful and, I fear, confirming everything I suspected about this new type of agency, especially the bit about being tied to them regardless, or risk losing your outlay.

I can assure you this review is not only genuine but completely factual - unfortunately as I only wish we hadn't had to deal with these agents. compared to the ones we used to sell our house I can see exactly why they are so cheap.

'PB are all about the seller and literally don't care about the buyer - clearly they forget if they didn't have a buyer they wouldn't have sold the house' Purple bricks get paid from day one from the loan company, so selling the house is not important to them. If the owner does not sell their property they still have to pay purple bricks, so selling is just in the interests of the home owner. I would recommend on viewings take their number and speak to them directly. ...
