72 field agents on the payroll to service 197 properties.They must be getting a decent retainer to keep them insitu knowing they are on death row and need to find a new job
Trading update not for a few months .It’s not going to be good news which could explain why Axel have not lifted a finger since taking out Michael Bruce’s stake
Maybe Michael is using his gardening leave to pen a book .On the rise and fall and maybe rise again of Purplebricks. Make a great film

Investment banks Berenberg still have it shares value rated at 80p, UBS at 110p, Peel Hunt for the last 2 months still “under review”.
With no light at the end of the tunnel, no wonder city brokers consensus is saying neutral.
Flogging a dead horse!

Its the gravey train model. Only coming here if there is an opportunity to make money for themselves while they can, not provide a service or consequences for anyone else? UK investors have proven themselves to be gullible and about to get hit again?
Purplebricks – Totally F****d!
Their NEW memorable slogan!
Time is fast running out for Bricks. Something has to give .The departure of Michael Bruce has lifted the lid of an empty box.
Instruction levels are well down on last year which is not good news especially now they should be concentrating on the day job after withdrawing wounded from overseas.
Vic has arrived as a damp squib so far bereft of ideas to add new revenue streams . Is he just keeping the seat warm l The only thing of note this year is the the sport sponsorship including Team GB for the Olympics.
They can only hope that Bricks jinx overseas doesn’t rub off onto them as they approach Japan.
What is noticeable also is that the estate agency world have been less vocal about them recently . A sure sign they are having little impact.
Surely Axel will come in and finish the job off unless there is a new beast on the scene willing to take a £370m punt
Maybe its Keller Williams now Russell Quirk is back on the scene. You couldn’t make it up. Less than 12 months after investors money went down the toilet ,jobs lost . No shame Quirk able to invest with money down the back of his trousers in another!!!!
“Months of contemplating and reflection have led me to invest in Keller Williams as the brand and model that has the potential to be one of the biggest estate agency businesses in the UK in addition to its worldwide status” says Russell Quirk.
I do hope that Team GB don’t find themselves suddenly left without or have they already paid out?
