I went with a traditional estate agent when selling but wasn't too impressed with the online ones (Purple Bricks in particular) when I was trying to buy.
The local agents made an effort to get people in to view the places they had on the market whereas it was all passive with the online ones. I also found it a hassle booking viewings, some had really limited or non-existent timeslots and you could only get a booking by phoning the call centre, going through the options and then waiting for someone to call you back (which didn't always happen).

This. The beauty of using a local agent was they already had a portfolio of people they knew were looking for a house like ours, which meant we hit the market Tuesday, went away while we had a full weekend of viewings over the weekend, and had several offers by Monday lunchtime - best and final by close of Monday, which was a relief as we had already offered on a place we wanted.

Hi,
Has anyone had any experience selling their house through an online only estate agent (yoga, strike, doorsteps, etc)?
We’re looking to sell soon and looking at this route.
