Most of us who have ever moved home and had to deal with estate agents, know that they’re mostly a bunch of unscrupulous, lying, money-grabbing cunts. But at long last one of the most contemptable of all estate agents – Purpledicks – has put itself up for sale in the hope it can be broken up and sold off for parts.
It’s no secret that this company has been flying close to the wind with its sharp practices and shoddy handling of its customer base. But ever since the Pandemic kicked in its been heading for the poopshute as it tries to cut even more corners by firing staff, withholding bonuses and screwing tenants and landlords of their tenancy law obligations.
Just like those Mickey Mouse energy companies that sprang up 3 or 4 years ago with little or no regulation from OFGEM, Purplepricks appeared from the back of a fag packet and onto the internet in 2012 (again with little or no regulation).
It did well for the first few years, making the founders millionaires. But as with those same energy companies when the economy went tits-up with the Dink Cold a lot of them went bust (not that it mattered to some of those founders because for the most part they walked away with their pockets well and truly stuffed with cash!)
And so too with Purplebricks., the housing market hits a rough spot and they’ve bailed!
Shame for its customers still wondering what is going to happen next now that the company is up for sale. But if it goes for a good price the founders and major shareholders will still be quids in and the housing market will still by and and large remain unregulated.
