What's people experience with the likes of Purplebricks, Yopa and Strike etc.. Local agents all want 1% + to sell my house and I'm keen to hear if anyone has used online to sell and how it went.
TIA

My youngest daughter and her fiancee have been in the market trying to buy a house. Purple bricks were a complete nightmare to deal with. From her dealings with the modern house buying process, stick with a bricks and mortar local agent unless you want agents who have no interest in you, your house or prospective buyers as they are on a fixed minimal fee.

I’ve used purple bricks to sell 2 houses
PB were very good but their in house solicitors were pretty average.
I’d use them again

Based on my daughters experience I would avoid PurpleBricks.
They were very good at the initial contact and quite speedy at getting her house on line. Then nothing. No advice, no feedback, no chasing.
After a frustrating month, she went with the agent of the house she was buying (Ewe Move) Sold it within a week at the asking price.
The difference was a better marketing plan, better photos and most importantly they did the viewings.
After going through a complaints procedure she agreed to pay PurpleBricks £500.
