Purplebricks banked £18m fees for unsold homes in 2019 - claim

Monday, March 2, 2020

Purplebricks banked more than £18m in fees for thousands of homes it did not sell last year according to this morning’s Daily Telegraph.

 

It says the agency withdrew 21,380 listings in 2019 as market jitters forced many buyers and sellers to stay put.

 

The paper cites housing market data firm TwentyCi as the source of the figures.

 

Purplebricks is quoted in the article saying: “We are very confident our customers understand our upfront fee model and know it gives them a much higher chance of selling, for a much lower cost.”

 

The agency is also quoted as suggesting that it had saved its successful customers over £150m in fees they would otherwise have paid to traditional agents.

Really impressed by Kremer Signs

We were really impressed by Kremer Signs and how quickly they could get our boards printed and delivered to our board movement providers. All the staff that we dealt with are extremely friendly. I worked closely with Ryan Little and Sam Collins - both very helpful and quick at responding. Thank you for your help - we are super happy with our boards from Kremer Signs.

Great customer service

The process of ordering boards for my company New Door Real Estate was so easy from the get go with Kremer Signs! I was kept informed every step of the way by Nick and Ryan and I really couldn't fault them. Great customer service and the quality of the boards is brilliant. We're really happy with them!

Delivered in great time

Just wanted to say a big thank you to Kremer Signs (especially Ryan Little) for getting me set up with my dream for sale signs. As a very new independent estate agent, I was reassured with the great customer service and the fact I was looked after from start to finish. Really happy with the finished product which was delivered in great time too. Thanks again, I will be back for more (hopefully soon)!
