I would recommend that you avoid:Brighton Office valued my property far higher than any other agent. When challenged, they said they could find a buyer and give them a chance, just for 1 month. We verbally agreed that at the end of the month there would be no notice period. They now threaten me with their 'small print' and demand a notice period. Pretty stupid really, as there is no way I would accept any offer made through them even if I agreed to the false notice period. Maybe I should just let them waste their time. Let's assume this to be their flawed memory rather than flawed honesty.

Completely incompetent from start to finish at Hastings branch. Nothing was ever the estate agent’s responsibility. We ended up wasting weeks on a purchase being told that documents and safety certificates etc were ‘imminent’. Nothing ever transpired so we eventually had to pull out having lost £1k on solicitors fees and surveys. I asked for a formal way to make a complaint, but my email was simply ignored, hence this review.

Fox & Sons Crawley - Horrendous

What can I say about this Estate Agent, nothing complimentary that's for sure. We received no feedback from them after viewings what so ever, I had to constantly call them. They arranged an open day for our house so we went out for the day, they failed to lock my back door. Shoddy! After the open day, still no feedback until I waited a few days and called them. The only other viewings arranged by them did not even fit in with the times I had advised would be convenient, so it meant I had to change arrangements with my dog walker at short notice. On one occasion they called to confirm a viewing that I knew nothing about! We then saw a property we wanted to view in Bexhill, even though we had been told Fox and Sons had this vast network of agents throughout the UK we could not be found on their data base, even though we were registered with their Crawley branch. After viewing this property we made a full asking price offer. I left a message on Fox & Sons Crawley answerphone to let them know we had made an offer, which had been accepted in principle and asked if someone could call me on the MondaY. No-one called, I had to call them yet again. I took this opportunity to ask the manager why we were not on the Bexhill database, only to be told, "it was probably someone who didn't know how to use the system" I also asked what they could do to get some viewings or if there was any marketing activity they could do to help get things moving, bearing in mind we really wanted the property in Bexhill, the response was "it's all about the price and that a reduction would need to be substantial" Having since had several other estate agents to give us a market appraisal, they have all valued our property at £10,000 less than Fox & Sons did. it would seem to me they tell you the house is worth more to get your business, then when nothing happens they make you reduce the price. Trying to move home is stressful enough without having to deal with people who quite clearly are not fit for purpose! I would never use this agent again, even to the point where I am looking to buy a property I won't even consider it if it is up for sale with Fox and Sons, the house we had liked so much in Bexhill and had our offer agreed in principle, then appeared on Rightmove a few days later with Sold STC across the advert. No-one even had the courtesy to call me or send me an email to let me know. Poor service seems endemic in this company.

Estate agents living up to there bad name

Crawley branch, , We went on the market with them , they never showed up to viewings , our viewings also never showed up and although they found a buyer we did all the work/viewings and they never chased or called or in fact communicated with anyone - when I complained they said I quote - our fee is not for good service it’s for finding a buyer only

The worst Agency I have tried throughout my three-year stay in Brighton! They advertised a property, handled the viewing and handled most of the paperwork but when the landlord blocked me to avoid returning the deposit they said that they don't manage the property and that they only advertise it!They never told me about the matter and I am left without my deposit with them stating that they can't help in any way!

When looking for a property Gemma and Calvin really went above and beyond helping us get our mortgage together, and finding us our first flat at an excellent price. We cannot thank them enough, especially with taking all the stress out of the process.

Bad customer service. I had to call them for updates because they never call back. Those two ladies dealing with rental properties are the most confused lot I’ve ever had to deal with.

Apparently fox & sons would like to understand better regarding the bad review they received from me so I duly sent the information they requested and not a word from them and still waiting over a month on. Obviously not that bothered.

We bought our first property with the help of Gemma Carmichael - we would have definitely been lost without her! Nothing was too much trouble and she was so friendly and knowledgeable. Every query was answered speedily and helpfully which made the process so much easier. We couldn't recommend her enough!

First person to pick the phone up then put it down on me before I had even spoken. When I mentioned it to the second person to pick the phone up he was extremely rude saying that did not happen. All I asked was can details be sent in the post. A flat NO was all I got. I will go elsewhere obviously.NegativeProfessionalism

Very poor service

They have not communicated or contacted us with weekly reports. They have not discussed why they are not booking any viewings. The photos of our property were of poor quality. They have not provided the service promised or any kind of service in attempting to sell our home. I would not recommend them to anybody.

We secured our mortgage through Gemma who managed to get us an offer that several other mortgage advisors could not or did not put enough effort to it! She was very patient with us and responded to several changes that happened during the process in a positive and constructive way.

Stop calling me, I have told you every time to remove me from your database.

Update. I have now had 5 phone calls to ask if I want to list my property as a short term let. 5 times I have asked to be removed from their database.If Fox are reading this please sort the clueless team you have engaged to cold call.
