Youcan arrange everything online via their website, including payment, and access to a 24/7 dashboard, which will allow you to view/process all your enquiries 24/7.Is Yopa worth paying extra for, or should I go for the cheaper online-only agent?Yes.

absolutely useless, agent who doesnt call you after viewings or even offers, after weeks you wonder if he still works

there, due to the lack of contact, and when you try to complain, after managers hang up on you, you eventually get the arrogant one that enjoys telling you how you are tied with them for 4 months and have to go through their lengthy complaints procedure, basically taking your house off of the market.


I'm deciding between the big two purplebricks and yopa, does anyone have any advice or recommendation? Are there any pros and cons to using one over the other? It looks like they offer the same services but I could be missing something.


I've used Yopa to sell my property and so far they've been good and my local agent seems to have good knowledge of the current market and my area. I've had quite of lot of viewings and their website is easy to use to manage viewings (as I don't like the estate agent showing people around my house, I can do this myself), it saves me lots of money compared to the typical 1% that high street Estate Agents charges.


The only thing I would say is, the agent will not chase your offers and feedbacks from viewings, you have to do most of the work once the property is listed on Rightmove or Zoopla, which is fine for me.


Two weeks after signing up with them, they contacted me and told me to drop the price 10% (as he had more done more research than then their local rep) . They continually told me to keep droping the price until it went below the original offer price. They then told me I should rent not sell the property (I think this was more for their selling stats) .


People who came to see the property were not vetted, some complained of communication with Yopa. They included other estate agents trying to sell me their services. So I ask what did Yopa do other than cost me money.


We have decided to do the viewings ourselves as the viewing pack we purchased wasn't working out but 2 months later and the estate agent still hasnt returned our house key after numerous requests from myself and the resolutions team, she keeps telling us she will as soon as is humanly possible! Any advice on steps we can taken to ensure its return would be appreciated


Charlatans, unethical, dishonest, unprofessional,waste of time ,use their system seal a deal , waste all your weekend putting funds in place, setting the deal up with conveyancers etc only to be told , 17:10 the next day they want a bidding war, avoid these xxxxxxxx like the plague, I am 56 , bought boats ,planes ,houses ,hotels , and NEVER in all my dealings experienced anything even close to the horror of trying to purchase through these people!


Wish i had done more research before instructing as it was a massive mistake, dont touch with a bargepole, ended up taking it off the market with them and selling in 2 weeks with another agent, now having the battle where yopa still want there money even though they didnt provide any service


Honest experience with Yopa: They created the the advertisement and put it on the internet. I had three viewings in the first two weeks, seemed to be people who were going around looking at lots and lots of properties. No viewings for the next month. No feedback ever received from potential buyers. Contacted the agent to discuss the situation, their only suggestion was to reduce the price.

Told Yopa to stop the process and instructed a high street agency. They conducted several viewings, and I accepted an offer of the full asking price ten days after going on the market. The house sale was completed less than two months later.

Yopa may do strictly what is in your agreement with them, but I found they are not proactive - once you have signed up you are effectively on your own.

Potential buyers who are preparing to spend hundreds of thousands of pounds need encouragement and to have their "hand held" by someone they feel they can trust. This is the service provided by a high street estate agent through personal contact and experience of the local market. Of course you pay a good chunk of money for that service, however it was well worth it in my case. Wasted a thousand pounds on Yopa - an expensive lesson for me.


Stung me for paying there fees after I withdrew from there no good service after nobody was interested in my property after 4 months...they've recently changed there adverts... not a second too late... but for me they think I'm paying.... i'm broke and cant afford 1000 for 4 months adverts. Nobody viewed due to them not answering the phone... EVER, and making the customers jump through hoops before they get there finger out and actually make an appointment with them.... what a farce, save your sanity and go to a qualified estate agent.


I initially started this blog because I wanted to document my every step to becoming a BTL landlord, in hope that others' (with more experience) would discover my dronings and have the heart to help me - a beetle on its back - along the way. I literally didn't have a clue about being a landlord when I started this website.


Having expanded my property portfolio over the years, I now occassionally blog about my bitter life as a Landlord, so fellow Landlords (prospective, new, and seasoned) can learn from my few successes and frequent failures.
