Used Purple Bricks, sold within a month with the help of their brilliant local agent [Rachel McIntosh in Telford]. She advised on price, advised us on how to tidy the house to make it as attractive as possible & took superb photos, would definitely recommend. Price was a third of local estate agents fees & better service, would use them again.

We've just bought a house and the vendor used Purple Bricks - we received instant responses to requests for information, viewing schedules and to the offers that we made. The experience I've had trying to buy via traditional estate agents was completely different - no responses to emails, no viewings at evenings or weekends - even one agent who couldn't arrange a viewing for a fortnight because she was on holiday! And these are established high street chains, not little independents or even franchises. Definitely would prefer to have control of it myself, and that's before I start on the quality of "professional" photos of open toilets, washing hanging in corners, rubbish sticking out of bins etc etc...

I'm guessing that the votes NOT to use an online estate agent are all from estate agents.
I look forward to the day when the high street estate agents are put out of business with their rip-off percentage fees for doing very little.
