Founded in 2012, Purplebricks dramatically changed the estate agency industry by driving down costs for customers through its digital-first model. This resonated well with consumers, with Purplebricks becoming the largest branded estate agent, with over 93% brand awareness in the UK. As of May 2023, Strike - backed by Freston Ventures - acquired Purplebricks to combine the two businesses.

Working with the team closely on the acquisition of Purplebricks was amazing to witness. The commercial acumen and deal-making nous that allowed us to win the deal against several well-backed competitors was a thing to behold. Post acquisition they have given us everything we need in order to manage a complex integration project at speed
