No as clear or upfront as they should be So I used Purplebricks to market my flat in November. In my opinion they are like the e-Harmony or Plenty of Fish. Using their online system, Purplebricks can introduce you to prospective buyers, you pay a fee for that whether you sell or not. As for the fees that's where they could be more transparent, I opted to pay upfront £999 - no mention that doesn't include key handover. I had 5 or 6 viewings and 2 offers. But no fault of Purplebricks, my flat didn't complete due to the lease. Would I use Purplebricks again? Unlikely. As it's cost me £999 and my flat didn't complete.
