Fox & Sons Bognor Regis reviews in Arun

★★★★★ 1/5

This is the worst lettings company I have ever dealt with. I have been in the property business for many years and this company decided to collect rent when they were no longer instructed and it's taken me over 20 emails and 40 phone calls to chase £700 of rent which I still haven't received in full in over 7 weeks. Do not use Fox & Sons. Taila from the lettings department is difficult to get hold off and you need to chase 3-4 times to get a single response.

Crawley Branch - Zero Customer Service!

Used Fox & Sons Crawley multiple times to rent one of our properties. They sent us a bill for lettings shortly after a new Tennent arrived which was incorrect and we naturally requested an accurate invoice. Silence for several weeks until we got a letter from a debt collector!! Wowser! We then spent time chasing unanswered calls and emails. The answer from the lettings team at Fox & Son Crawley was "it's nothing to do with us". Clearly it was everything to do with the Crawley branch as they can not do simple addition. No response from branch manager either - as expected. Would not recommend and will avoid in future!!

Did the Solicitors work for them!

4 months to move into an empty, chain-free property seems pretty fascicle but it wouldve been a hell of a lot longer had it not been for Curtis and his colleagues at Fox and Sons, Hastings. I had 6 months to port my mortgage or it wouldve doubled and my property wouldve been unaffordable. It was two certificates holding back the sell. My solicitors were hopeless, the sellers solicitors were just as bad but thankfully Curtis said if this isnt sorted within 24 hours Max is pulling out. 12 minutes later the certificates would be there in the morning and 12 hours later we were good to go. I get they want their cut, but I hear so many stories about estate agents taking their eye off the ball, and the buyer left chasing, thankfully that wasnt the case with Fox and Sons. I had to pay my solicitors £2,500, shouldve given it to these guys! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Tried to underhandedly go behind my agents back to the client telling them we are bad buyers and he should sell through them even though our offer had been accepted and put a for sale board up over our sold sign .. really really bad business practice

Quite poor

As a letting agent they were rather greedy in keeping back much of the deposit As estate agents they weren't particularly on the ball and advertising properties as available after they had gone off the market

A great company

I would have no problem recommending this company. They are very efficient and friendly. Nothing is a problem to them. I was looked after by David Johnston and he was very knowledgeable courteous and friendly no question was too much for him he is a credit to your company. Thank you David x

As someone who's tried multiple agencies in Bognor and spoken to countless agents I can honestly say I was glad to speak to Fox and Sons. They had lots of people looking at the property when other agencies struggled and even better they found multiple options, one of whom I went with and everything has gone smoothly. I'm sure the whole team has high praise to be given but Taila stood out as the constant help throughout this process, thank you.

Best experience I’ve ever had!!!

Was the best experience I’ve ever had with an estate agents, Chris there mortgage advisor was incredible he went above and beyond what we could have ever expected and even after we’d payed for his services he was still pulling late days just to help us get everything we needed ready wether it was mortgage related or not he even worked as hard as possible to get us out mortgage rate fixed before they sky rocketed we could not be more grateful even after we had closed and everything was sorted he still helped us with our life insurance as there was a mistake we made while filling it out, Joanne was also a massive help even though we didn’t buy our house through then in the end she would always get right in touch with us as soon as she found a house she thought we’d like and even pulled an extra day or 2 so we could view the houses due to our busy schedules when the time comes to sell we will definitely be going to her

Persistant phone calls

My complaint is directed at the Hastings branch after repeated requests to be taken off there phone list I still receive calls and after reading other reviews this is not an isolated case to this branch. Also I've had there number blocked for over a year. Rest assured if I ever put my property on the market I most definitely won't be using Fox and Sons.

Are you sitting comfortably?… then I’ll…

Are you sitting comfortably?… then I’ll begin…‘Twas twenty weeks before Christmas, plenty of time to move house, not a creature was stirring, especially not a Fox and sons Estate Agent !!!If you have been sitting down over the festive season with a glass of mulled wine, contemplating moving house, then take our advice…DO NOT USE FOX & SONS!!The whole branch lacked any form of professionalism, or competency. Lucas never returned our calls, only answering the phone if we dialled on a number he didn’t have registered to us. On one occasion, I stood outside the shop and although I could clearly see him, the girl that answered said he was out.For some reason the shop is always locked and the Keys were not always immediately to hand. We regularly had to visit the branch and insist they chase issues for us. Chasing only happens on a Wednesday apparently…really??? They are quite content to place all the blame on their equally incompetent’ in house’ solicitors DCLaw. After 19 weeks of abysmal service, we took matters into our own hands and dealt with the home owner himself to get the sale over the line. Due to several failures to exchange we had to exchange and complete on the same day. There was no one in the branch that day to deal with any issues and DClaw were uncontactable. Other estate agents from the rest of the chain got involved to try and save the day but in the end all 5 lorries were told to unpack. Yet still no communication from Fox & Sons… disgraceful!

Since they have changed management in both departments sales and lettings I have received a service second to none! I used fox's a couple of years back and did not receive the best service, I was hesitant to go back but as a lifetime member of there financial service scheme I gave them the benefit of the doubt. I couldn't be happier with the service received all round! Well done to all in the branch, your enthusiasm and professionalism is outstanding!

I am glad that Fox and Sons Property made my relocation process easy by providing exceptional service to me while securing accommodation through them. My special appreciation goes to OSKAR and DAVIDS for their immense support throughout the process. I look forward to having my first property through you guys. I wish I could give 10 🌟 🤩.

Thank heavens for Fox and Son’s in Bognor, in particular Kerry and her colleagues, Sam and George to name two, who have helped us navigate through the most challenging of purchases. Kerry has not only been exceptional in her professionalism, but with our daily calls with some frightful problems she has almost become a friend steering us through with calmness and aplomb. Her help, friendliness and desire to succeed and the help of Fox in general, we secured our dream home. I would not only recommend them hugely, but don’t think I could find any better. Thank you and we mean that - you helped our future happiness and we shall always be grateful.

I have been working with Danny over the past few months to secure a shared ownership scheme. Getting a mortgage is one of the biggest purchases in life and is known to be a very stressful process. Danny has been very transparent and supportive throughout the whole process. Brilliant communication from him and all other members of the branch when needed. Thank you!!

Please avoid this unprofessional office in Hastings. Thought it was weird that my requests was not followed through. Been waiting to speak to a manager for a week. Nothing, called back. It was obvious the fella did not pass on my message. Not responded to emails. When challenged, he was happy to tell me he didnt like me. Think it was the colour of my skin.Update Foxs and sons are questioning my review. Trustpilot want evidence. My complaint was done over the phone. The company did not address my complaint in writing. As i advised trustpilot. Whoever is challenging this has not contacted the branch manager who i spoke to at length and arranged for someone to value my property last week. Perhaps they should do their own checks before they challenge my experience. After this insult. I wont be putting any business their way. Pure cowboys. Minus any stars

Incredible service. Fast, efficient, friendly and affordable.

I have recently had the pleasure of dealing with Fox and Sons Peacehaven branch and if I could give them more than 5 stars I would.This is the first time that I have had to sell and buy a home in 20 years. I'm a single mum to 3 children under 10 so time and working to my schedule was so important to me.At the start of the process I felt completely out of my depth and had no idea where to start but they made me feel at ease straight away.The whole team at the branch have just been incredible. The process has been fast, efficient, smooth and professional. I have been kept updated at all times and everyone has been so approachable and nothing ever seemed to be too much trouble, even when I took my 3 children on a viewing.The service was so good that I even used their mortgage advisor, Jonathan, and the service provided has been incredible.I would particularly like to thank Tom and Alice for their patience and understanding especially with the amount of questions that I had. They always got back to me quickly with the answers and explained things in terms that I understood.Thank all for the work you have done for me. I would highly recommend the team and the services they provide.
