This depends if money is your sole goal in life. I liken it to the vultures that looked to make a buck when the war was on, when every decent person where either fighting the war or doing something towards it. That would be my preference. The market will still be there when all of this blows over.

DESPERATE! I would hope that the majority of the public would be able to see through this farce.

100% concur with this post. We once had a Purple Bricks client thank us for getting their sale through. Whilst nice to be appreciated, it is hugely frustrating that our client had basically subsidised the Purple Bricks client in essence and that our fees have been reduced as a direct result their very existence . It would be interesting to know how much revenue has left our industry as a whole due this type of "agency" offering.

I have to say, I am still bemused as to why agents are listing new properties? Are people really going to make viable offers on a property purely viewed on-line and more importantly see it through once they have the opportunity to view directly, whenever that might be. We have advised the opposite to our clients, where we have actually recommended to withdraw properties and re-list at a time when things return to some form of normality. By all means let me know if I am missing something here!

A sledge hammer to crack a nut! If only the powers that be truly understood the reality of this business. As per usual, it is spoiled by the few, so the majority have to pay. Which PAYING will be the primary reasoning for this. I thinks I might start up a training course to make a quick buck.

Purely a vehicle for floating on the stocks and selling out. Nothing more, nothing less with recent sell outs proving this to be the case. But who will be left with the baby?

Soon we will be banned for actually having the audacity to charge a fee at all.

You clearly failed to do your homework before instructing your "traditional agent"

There are arguments for and against. One thing I agree with being, this referendum should never have been an option if a leave result is so apocalyptic. I guess only Mother time will provide the answer if we leave. If we remain, we shall of course never know.

Whilst I completely agree that in this particular case, the agent should never have been found in favour of their fee, simply due to the length of time between their introduction and when the property was sold via the other agent. However, it would be quite ludicrous to suggest that if a viewer does not offer, a fee is avoidable. Otherwise, in my opinion this opens up the position of an unscrupulous buyer to approach the vendor direct to simply go through an on line £75 listing agent, as he made no offer through the real introducing agent. The simple answer is common sense, which this particular judgement appears not to have implemented. But of course, we no not the whole picture.

To me it all appears to be a dot com con. Purple Bricks have been going five minutes. Yes they may well receive a high volume of instructions, but their fees are basically a packet of crisps & a pint. Their overheads from what I can see are pretty extensive and appear to be running a business on money raised through lending from very wealthy people. I would love to know how much net profit they have made to date? Truth be known, probably huge losses in real terms. The owners & investors are just building up to a very quick buck. All going to end in tears for some poor souls.
