About
Purplebricks is a British online estate agent founded in 2012 by Michael Bruce, Kenny Bruce, and David Shepherd, headquartered in London. The company disrupted the UK residential property market by charging sellers a fixed upfront fee rather than a percentage-based commission, combining an online platform with a network of local property experts who handle valuations, listings, and viewings. Purplebricks listed on AIM in 2015, reached a peak valuation over £1.3 billion, and was sold to Strike for £1 in 2023; it continues operating under the Purplebricks brand in the UK.
