James Garland of Purple Bricks has been incredible

We cannot recommend James Garland at Purplebricks highly enough. From the moment we decided to sell, James was outstanding. Thanks to his expertise, guidance and proactive approach, our house was listed and sold in less than a week.

What really set James apart was his exceptional commitment. He was always available to answer our questions, talk us through the process, and provide calm, honest and knowledgeable advice—often at all hours of the day. At every stage, we felt supported and confident because of his professionalism and genuine care.

It’s becoming increasingly rare to find someone who consistently goes above and beyond, but James exceeded every expectation. His communication, dedication and hard work made what could have been a stressful process feel straightforward and well managed.

If you’re looking for someone who truly puts their clients first and delivers outstanding results, we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend James Garland. Thank you for everything - you’ve been exceptional.

Personally I wouldn't use them

Their App for some reason is only for sellers so if you are buying a property listed with PurpleBricks you then have to go to their website.
If you have an offer accepted you are allocated a Sales Advisor. Never spoken to or can get hold of ours. Phoned the generic number trying to get documents sent and all we get told is that only the sales advisor can help.
It's poor service and a poor app/website

Helpful

Not being the most tec savvy of people, Purple bricks went above and beyond with patience explaining the procendure and would recommend them and use them again in the future.

Great service from the beginning

Great service from the beginning. Good communication and very easy to navigate the app. Loved the fact that i could control the viewings and not have to wait for a slot from the estate agents. So far so good - just waiting to sign contracts

Generally very good

Generally very good would have given 5 stars but for the need to repeat actions for each element such as accepting the offer, ID checks and providing death certificates these were required for Purple Bricks, the auction site and solicitors. So same Info sent 3 times with no crossover between them.

Great. Would recommend.

We were looked after by Eric Curless and Tim Hartles and they were both great. Very quick responses and fingers always on the pulse. A smooth process.
