Purplebricks has been accused of corporate bullying by the operators of a consumer review website that the online estate agent has threatened to sue.
Allagents, which lists consumers reviews of estate agents, said that it had taken the unprecedented step of suspending the Purplebricks account on its site after receiving a legal letter over negative reviews that it was hosting.
Purplebricks said it made the legal threat after an audit of 95 reviews posted on Allagents that allegedly revealed close to one in three were not genuine.
