My family had viewed a house listed on Purple Bricks, loved the house and made an offer which the buyer accepted. We were sorting out the documents, they were supposed to send us the Memorandum of Sale, but they told our lawyer that the head office was drafting up the documents while giving us a different story. Meanwhile, we sent a surveyor to take a look at the house and what needed to be done, and one day after the survey, they gazumped us and told us the offer was raised ~50k more than the accepted offer, which is absolutely ridiculous. It seems like they waited until after we had paid out money to trick us into paying more for the property, which in my opinion is totally immoral. Buyers should be careful using this site, they rely on underhand tactics to try and get more money out of inexperienced buyers.
