I would have agreed with all you've said about 4 months ago Sheepy.
I put my house on with Purpl as i thought they were something new and refreshing and would be keen to prove how good they are. I also thought, as i'm investing in the agent (i ended up paying him a squid short of £1250) i should invest in the company, I looked at the stock history and did some research, noted the great Woodford had put a big punt on them etc etc.....
Fortunately bought my shares at 344 (so in blue for now).Unfortunately service atrocious! took my money and never seen again, 2 viewings in 5 weeks, 1 never showed up, the other a bit weird and frightened my kids, I offered to reduce my price but was told had to speak to my LPE, tried about half dozen times, never once returned my call, complained through their procedures, but was basically told tough! Felt really P'd off, they had my money so job done! So......
Went to a little privately owned company in Reading who had sold a mates house, don't mind telling you they are called Hoopers (i was dealt with by Nesta and Jason). Brilliant and a totally different experience, that's all i will say!
I'm still invested in the share though as i think the service is a mud chucking exercise, if i was taken in, so i believe, will thousands of others, hence i think this will pay me dividends. It better had, I deserve to get my money back one way or another!!!
