emma_in_dreamI have not complained about Purple Brick for some time. I have been too busy moving and – to be fair to them – the old house was sold to someone they brought through. However, I would note that they produced a buyer after I began writing about my experiences of their incompetence.
If they thought that finally being unshackled from them would shut me up, they little know how much I hold a grudge. My intention is to air every grievance.
Now, I recall writing about how they advertised a home open without putting up the address and then the next week advertised another one with the address but without the time. So, that brings me to… the sign. The thing that goes in the front garden to let people know there is a house for sale within. Pretty standard.
Unless you are Purple Bricks in which case the sign is produced 10 days late. Also, it did not actually say which unit was for sale (so buyers could not tell which one of the 30 townhouses to approach). I remedied this by writing on it by hand with a permanent marker. Also, it featured unauthorised text describing it as ‘a fixer upper’ which is a pretty disheartening way of luring the public in. My own suggestion had been ‘close to town, close to public transport’ which I think is a better pitch.
My strong recommendation: Do not use Purple Bricks.
