Purplebricks
Purplebricks is the United Kingdom's largest online (hybrid) estate agency, founded in 2014 by Michael and Kenny Bruce and David Shepherd, selling and letting residential property across England, Wales and Scotland through a fixed-fee, remote model staffed by local property experts rather than a high-street branch network. After a 2023 sale to rival online agent Strike for a nominal one pound the combined business was rebranded back under the Purplebricks name, and in 2026 the founding Bruce brothers returned alongside Sir Charles Dunstone's Freston Ventures. It sits on the brokerage rung of the value chain, originating the seller relationship and the listing and then distributing that stock to Rightmove, Zoopla, OnTheMarket and PrimeLocation through the UK's portal feed arrangements, because the UK has no MLS and therefore no shared cooperative data exchange. Its API posture is best described as published-but-undeclared: there is no developer portal, no partner programme, no signup and no documentation site, yet the estate serves sixteen real OpenAPI 3.0.1 documents and thirteen live public Swagger UIs across api.purplebricks.co.uk and www.purplebricks.co.uk, covering property, account, valuations, viewings, messaging, lettings, branch/portal syndication, communications, conveyancing, agent, feedback, workflow and Outlook calendar sync. Every operation is Bearer-token protected with no public key issuance, errors are ASP.NET ProblemDetails (RFC 7807), and the branch service exposes the Rightmove, Zoopla and OnTheMarket syndication seam directly. RESO is absent, as expected outside North America, and the genuinely open UK property data layer it consumes for its sold-prices tool belongs to government (HM Land Registry), not to Purplebricks.
Purplebricks publishes 13 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Property API, Account API, Valuations API, and 10 more. Tagged areas include Real Estate, United Kingdom, Property Listings, Online Estate Agency, and Rentals.
The Purplebricks catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.
Purplebricks’ developer surface includes pricing, engineering blog, YouTube channel, authentication, API reference, signup flow, support, and 42 more developer resources.
