Purplebricks London based coPurplebricks, a London-listed online estate agent, has continued its international expansion with the acquisition of a Canadian counterpart. The company has agreed to spend about £29m to buy DuProprio/ComFree (DPCF), it said in a stock exchange statement. The Qubec-based company runs a commission-free online estate agency similar to Purplebricks and generated revenues of about £26.2m last year, Purplebricks said. It has been sold by Canada’s Yellow Pages. Purplebricks was advised by Zeus Capital, which is the nominated adviser for its listing on London’s junior Alternative Investment Market, as well as brokers Peel Hunt and Investec. The deal continues Purplebrick’s North American expansion. The company opened in Los Angeles in September 2017 and then moved into San Diego, Sacramento and Fresno earlier this year. It has since set up shop in New York and last month announced plans to open in Las Vegas and Phoenix. The US expansion has been partially bankrolled by publisher Axel Springer, which invested £125m in the company in return for an 11.5% stake in in March.
