Purplebricks threatened with £100m lawsuit

More than 100 estate agents are preparing to take legal action against online agent Purplebricks.

Contractors for Justice, which is bringing the Purplebricks claim, is aiming to rally more of the 2,500 property agents it believes might qualify before it files the legal paperwork.
