Answer: No. We will not share any of your personal details and they will not be visible to the other party when you are communicating through “my purplebricks.com”. We do however provide your name and contact number to the opposing party when a viewing is arranged, just in case you need to communicate on the day, before the viewing takes place (unless you are selling/letting and have chosen Purplebricks to take care of your viewings. In these instances, we provide the name and number of the local agent).

Answer: You will be able to see everything with a click — and we think that’s what sets us apart. You can see the second a viewing is booked, feedback provided/requested or an offer made.

With offers, you can accept or reject them, or pass them to us to deal with at no extra cost (if you are the seller or landlord). It’s just a better way to buy, sell, and rent homes.
