We tried with Purple Bricks last year. Had 2 viewings in 6 months. Then went with a traditional agent and had 10+ viewings within 2 months and sold the property. The main difference we found is that traditional agents have a strong incentive to get the punters in and earn their commission. They will therefore ring around and try and get the viewings. Whereas purple bricks didn't really do much hustling on our behalf as they already had our money.
Good point: - More stuff for the children to play with. Bad points: - Situated in the foyer - Can't see what the children are up to at the top levels - Right next to the vending machines (filled with chocolate bars) - It's bloody cold - There's a hard slippery floor - THERE IS NO PHYSICAL BARRIER TO STOP THE CHILDREN RUNNING OUT OF THE AREA Yes I have fed this all back to Everyone Active. Just felt like a rant here. :)
It's the same issue when you turn right from Sainsburys on to Dog Kennel Hill into the pedestrian crossing. I always stop but it could catch people by surprise. It seems badly designed.
I got one of those stickers too. Our neighbours didn't. I felt disproportionately smug. I'm guessing it's because I usually make sure there's no plastic bags in the recycling??
