HMRC winding-up petition against Purplebricks to be withdrawn
By: Estate Agent Today25 Sept 2026
Online estate agency Purplebricks has been served with a winding-up petition by HMRC. The company says the move stems from an admin error and confirms the petition is being withdrawn.
Purplebricks says its tax liabilities have been settled and it was in dialogue with HMRC before the petition was filed. Annual accounts for the year to March 2025 are also late, blamed on a new chief financial officer, with filing expected shortly.
