Zero stars would be more appropriate. The property expert (couldn't have been further from the truth) Kim Tucker could not have been any less interested in selling my property. The photography skills, or lack of were truly awful. Viewings we're continually cancelled and regular no shows. From looking at others reviews I have now wondered if actually half of the bookings were genuine. She wasn't proactive at following up after viewings, even with those who she told me were considering making an offer. I had to continually ask her to contact them and chase her for a response. I basically paid them for a job I was doing the majority of myself. The offers that were received were in excess of £20k below the asking price and yet the property was priced in line with other houses in the area. I couldn't work out what was going wrong, then realised the common theme, it was because of PurpleBricks.

Honestly please don't fall for the low fees, it really isn't worth the stress and hassle. You are much better using a well known high street estate agent. Yes it will cost more but at least you will get the actual service of an estate agent. I've also heard terrible things about their conveyancing service, again don't be fooled.

The day this company cease trading will be a very good day!
