I am handing over the keys today on Breach House in Little Berkhamstead that Mum and Dad bought in way back in
March 1973. Wishing the Moore family as much laughter and happiness in the next 42 years that we had in the last 42!

I came across this customer review on the Purple Bricks Face Book page, made on the 19th of November. It looks like they can talk the talk but are finding it trickier to walk the walk:
“Myself, sister and 6 year old son visited a house at 6pm prompt. The vendor did not turn up and purple bricks told me they were in contact with him and they would call me back, they didn’t. It’s no surprise the house hasn’t been sold with this kind of attitude from both the vendor and purple bricks, I will be posting this review on social media. We were cash buyers as well, shame.”
Of course, house seller is looking to reduce the cost of selling their homes, but not at the expense of proper attentive customer service. You simply cannot deliver that plus high-quality marketing of a fixed fee of £795 plus VAT. We know…

The internet is radically changing the way that consumers search for and buy property in the UK and so we shouldn’t be too surprised that it is also beginning to have a radical impact on the way property is sold too. The most obvious sign of this is the every growing list of national property web sites launching on your TV screens offering a stripped back version of what the traditional High Street has to offer. In essence the pitch is the same, that they do “everything” that a more traditional agent does, only for a fraction of the price. There are two problems with this, the first of which is that they charge an up-front fee so have no incentive to actually sell the house. The second is that despite what they claim, after advertising your home and calling to book a viewing, they leave much of the…
One of the worst aspects of buying a house in the UK is gazumping. This is where the owners of a property accept an offer (subject to contract) from one buyer only to receive a higher offer a week or two down the road and jump ship to the people who made that offer. It goes against all principles of decency. After all, if you want more than the first offer then you should decline it, not “bank” those buyers and hope that you get a better offer later. If you sell a house with us you’ll be asked to sign our client-friendly contract which has a unique anti-gazumping clause asking our clients not to go down this road. And it works. We have sold hundreds of houses across Hertfordshire, from Hertford to Welwyn Garden City, North London to Stevenage, and NOT ONE BUYER has ever been gazumped on…
