The Purple Pact for sellers
Skip flaky offers, secure your home’s sale with our optional buyer deposit scheme.
Selling with the Purple Pact
A sale with more security. Fewer sleepless nights. Way more certainty. That’s why we have the Purple Pact.
It’s our exclusive way for buyers and sellers to commit to a sale early, which legally locks in an offer. It’s proven to prevent last-minute withdrawals and wasted time – fewer than 5% of sales fall through with the Pact via Gazeal. It’s optional, with no added fee for sellers.
Protect your sale
Flaky buyers, hollow offers, gazundering. The Purple Pact protects your sale from them, by having both parties commit early. It’s optional for both parties, but helps to keep the chain moving – and reduce the risk of fall-throughs and buyers backing out.
The Purple Pact is handled by our partner, Gazeal, and there’s no cost to you.
How does it work?
1.
At the offer stage, opt in to the Purple Pact to show buyers you’re serious about the sale. It’s part of your service, at no cost to you.
2.
When you accept an offer, the sale is secured. The buyer’s holding deposit reserves your property, and your home comes off the market.
3.
Our partner, Gazeal, contacts you and the buyer to arrange the Pact and secure the sale until completion.
4.
It’s a win-win for you – no risk, no fee, the buyer is committed to the sale.

FAQs for sellers
There’s no fee for sellers – just a smoother sale ahead. You get Purple Pact as part of your service, and there’s no additional cost. It's optional to use, too.
If you opt in, you can request buyers to opt in too, if you’d like more certainty from a committed buyer. Because we’re all about fairness, the buyer can opt in or not.
When you instruct Purplebricks, you’ll see that Purple Pact is part of your package (as standard, no additional cost). Once you receive an offer, you can opt in or out of the Pact – your choice.
From there, if you’d like to opt in and the buyer hasn’t, you can request that they do so, if you’re after more certainty in the sale.
As there’s no fee for you, it’s a great way to show buyers you’re serious.
