Read this again he employs 25 staff say at £15k a year so thats a further £350k - how much is this guy losing ??

From: Ian Smith 17 May 2018 12:07 PM

As this is effectively a site that allow sellers to sell themselves Rightmove should have thrown them off by now. PLUS 2000 x £100 = £200,000- His Rightmove bill alone will be around 15K per month !!!

Don't forget how much they are paying for their commercial relationship with Trustpilot !!!!!!!

From: Ian Smith 19 December 2017 09:49 AM

Bulling their way to the top !!!!!!!!!

From: Ian Smith 15 December 2017 01:22 AM

I thought they were Proper Estate Agents and not online???????/ Bit confusing P Bricks eh? They want to show the city they have a large share of the online market BUT try and con sellers into thinking they are NOT Online Agencies???

From: Ian Smith 13 December 2017 09:33 AM

Here is the astonishing thing. Go to all agents home page. And there is a box that says find agent by name and it says e.g. Purple Bricks , Countrywide TALK ABOUT FREE ADVERTISING !!!!!! Come on All Agents get the message right !!!!!!

From: Ian Smith 30 November 2017 09:51 AM

Or sell it with another raffle !!

From: Ian Smith 09 November 2017 18:49 PM

Give it 3 months ? No rightmove No Zoopla - NO BUYERS !!!!!

From: Ian Smith 09 November 2017 18:39 PM

Great news ONLY 2 of the 5 news stories today are about PB

From: Ian Smith 29 September 2017 16:37 PM

No mention of the Sh*t reviews on All Agents??????//

From: Ian Smith 29 September 2017 16:35 PM

Great comments Lee. So no one is able to write a bad review about P Bricks is that is but everyone else is fair game? All Agents should crowd fund to help fight this injustice if all UK agents chucked in a £10 note that would cover it? Any chance all agents? They even admit they believe 50% are false, I would think probably none are false !!!

From: Ian Smith 19 September 2017 11:00 AM

So does that mean we can all write to All Agents and ask to remove reviews or we sue them? Take the Trip Adviser site they will not remove reviews at all !!! You must be able to write a review in confidence - ALL AGENTS SHAME ON YOU !!!

From: Ian Smith 19 September 2017 10:57 AM

For an agency in Scotland that charges 1.75% as standard + vat I thought the advert would have been better left alone as the savings against their fees would be nearer £2,5000 Must be feeling the pressure !!!

From: Ian Smith 31 August 2016 09:10 AM

Wonder who paid the guy to say this?

From: Ian Smith 29 July 2016 10:49 AM

THE END >>> IS COMING >>>

From: Ian Smith 19 July 2016 14:34 PM

No Rangers and Celtic had numerous sponsors the same. Tenents Lager / NTL (now Virgin) advertisers were too afraid of being seen as one side !!

From: Ian Smith 23 May 2016 15:33 PM

Being Scotland's (in my view of course) MOST EXPENSIVE Estate Agent they can certainly afford to do this. They used to Sponsor Hibs another Championship club just like DUNDEE Utd now !!!

From: Ian Smith 23 May 2016 14:23 PM

Craig, have you pulled the advert? Was checking and seen it was only at £4K ??

From: Ian Smith 20 May 2016 22:13 PM

It seems the Franchies with shops do well, but those without don't - so is it really a Hybrid?

From: Ian Smith 19 May 2016 15:50 PM

Ok Craig fair enough, good last answer !!!! Best of luck with the funding process.

From: Ian Smith 29 April 2016 19:10 PM

Sorry Craig no idea who Colin Bain is I am afraid? Maybe you can expand?? But you still have not answered my main point WHY are you different for an investor? Why you? Plus of course house simple/emoov are your competitors, do they not sell in Scotland as well ? Are they not online agencies? They are and they have loads more property than you. If you look back at the first question I cheekily posted how can you justify a £600K valuation. Normal practice is 3 x annual profits. So you need to earn £200K..

From: Ian Smith 29 April 2016 17:14 PM

So Craig at £15K with 3/4 staff you must have lost £40-50K so the valuation is WILD at best. I know quite a lot about the online market and know you are miles behind even in Scotland, where there is only 1/2 serious players. You will need more than 150K just to be bigger than these guys and they are small. All the best think you may need it with £2K only raised. By this time in launch you should be at 30/40K and then other investors get confidence. PLUS most of the investment seems to come from near your base?? Investors are not stupid, there is nothing revolutionary about ANOTHER online agency - it's JUST ANOTHER ONLINE AGENCY - what is different between you and Emoov / House Simple in Scotland ?? What is they USP of your business, cause there is nothing I can find that you do different AND these guys have got sh*t loads of cash to burn with £millions in marketing budgets?

From: Ian Smith 29 April 2016 14:52 PM

HouseSpotters turnover £15K a year and they value the business at £600K ??? Can just see Peter Jones asking how can you justify the valuation LOL

From: Ian Smith 29 April 2016 00:19 AM

BUT Woolford has already made a fortune on the Stock. How much do you think he got of the £240m - £50/60/70/100 ??

From: Ian Smith 18 January 2016 12:44 PM

To give you an idea of how Right Move works for very 32 properties outwith 5KM on your head office you pay for another branch. So if they have 320 live properties they pay 10 x say £400 i.e. £4k per month. based on their volumes its probably 15-20K per month. I work for an online agency and that's how it works.

From: Ian Smith 04 December 2015 19:24 PM

Damien, Purble Pricks will be paying Rightmove in excess of £15K PER MONTH at the moment at least.

From: Ian Smith 04 December 2015 19:21 PM

Why do online estate agents ALWAYS over egg the fees. In Scotland the average fee is no where near 1.8% plus vat more nearer 1% plus vat. In fact I only know one agent in Scotland that charges over 1.5% plus vat.
