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…

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

Very positive experience with Fox and Sons Crewkerne

We couldn't be happier with the service we have received from Leon Gullis of Fox and Sons Crewkerne over the past week. From the outset of our viewing he was friendly, professional and informative, highlighting features of the property and useful information about the locality and town. He gave us space and time to really look around and we never felt rushed. We made an offer that day and in the subsequent six days, whilst viewings were still ongoing, he kept us in touch with the progress of our offer. After our offer was accepted Leon was extremely helpful with all the initial processes including recommending conveyancing solicitors and offering to arrange a survey and searches. He has been delightful to deal with so far and we've no doubt he will do all he can to ensure our journey to completion goes smoothly. We would have no hesitation in giving Leon 10 out of 10! We would give 11 if we could!

Dream Team

The team at Rottingdean did a fantastic job at selling my property recently, and I can't thank them enough.From the get-go ,Robert (Harding) was'on the ball', efficient,helpful, kind and supportive, and Alex Wilson was an absolute joy - constantly cheerful and upbeat,keeping calm and steady. Between them, they worked so hard for me, providing photocopies to my solicitors at Cavendish Legal Group, and being unfailingly helpful. Anne, too, was very understanding.An outstanding team effort! Thank you so much, guys! Worth every penny! Couldn't have managed without you!

We have had a roller-coaster ride with our sale due to problems in the chain or issues with help to buy documents arriving in time for exchange, but Daniel Everest (mortgage advisor) and Jade Clements, not to forget the rest of the team, have worked really hard to keep things going to make a success of our sale, they have remained patient and kind to us despite us hounding them at every step as they understood our situation and stress. These two deserve a medal for always going above and beyond! Thank you for persisting with your hard work and fingers crossed our exchange finally goes through next week.

Avoid F&S conveyancing

Do not use Fox & Sons in house conveyancing firm. I’m not a Fox & Sons customer but our buyer is (as that is their agent) and they’ve held up our chain for months. We agreed a sale in October 2024, it was discovered in January 2025 that our buyer needed an amendment to their lease on their leasehold property before they could sell it (a deed of variation) three months later to today, only now has the Fox & Sons conveyancing firm read the leases properly and determined what they need to do and there is still no end in sight. All in our chain has needlessly been put to extra stamp duty cost, the cost of arranging a new mortgage offer because previous ones have expired, we’ve had houses in the chain being re marketed, causing further stress. Our solicitor told me today that they have three chains including ours that are all stuck and going nowhere due to a deed of variation, and guess what, every one of those chains has the same Fox & Sons conveyancing firm handling the deed of variation. They clearly don’t know what they’re doing and I would suggest unless you want to waste your money on delays, and be stressed beyond belief, do not use Fox & Sons in house conveyancing. I don’t normally post reviews, if I get bad service, I simply don’t go back. However, on this occasion, I’m getting bad service that is costing me and others in our chain more money, and there is nothing I can do about it.

Excellent Lettings team lead by Duncan .

I am a landlord and Duncan, who was extremely efficient, polite and always there to answer any queries (as well as Romana ) dealt with the tenant find. I would fully recommend anyone to use their service, I certainly will if required again.

First Time Buy

I have just started the process to buy my first home, I have had fantastic service from the whole of the Gosport team, especially Gemma my mortgage advisor, she has been fantastic the whole way through, from the big details to the smaller details. I have been kept in the loop every single step and my mind is always at ease. I would strongly recommend Fox and Sons Gosport to anyone looking for a property in the area. Thank you all very much!!

The mortgage advisor is THE BEST!

I cannot recommend Daniel the mortgage advisor enough!! He has helped us so so SO much over the past few months with our everchanging situation and he always supported us in the kindest, most knowledgeable and understanding ways. His advice was so invaluable and he was always quick to come back with whatever we needed. For someone who doesn't really understand all this technical mortgage stuff, he was extremely patient and good at explaining things. His exceptional customer service and natural ways, also meant he was ALWAYS a pleasure to speak to. Thank you so much Daniel!

Fox and sons hastings the good guys

Hassle free sale of our home , sold in 4 weeks , property was on with pcm for 8 months I approached fox and sons they said they would do there best to sell in 4 weeks and they did , very happy with the service , I was congratulated immediately once I accepted an offer , very close to asking price I must thank Callum , Alex and Charles they have been very very helpful and always replied quickly to my calls and e mails , I used fox and Sons 22 years ago to buy the house and I had great service then and I just wish I had asked them before asking pcm as the house would of been sold months ago , but today I am very happy it’s finally sold with the professional company they are Ken Press

No stars would be more accurate

Edit: The service got even worse once we'd left. The Company left me with a number of examples where I had to contact Utility companies, because they lied about our Moving out date. I then found myself having to explain to several people that we had moved out in October 2019, not January 2020. This took several hours over many months. My credit rating was apparently affected, because I didn't know I was being left with bills that I shouldn't have. I would welcome any member of the company to contact me to discuss just how bad they were. I very rarely have the need to write a poor review of anyone, but I've never come across such an air of apathy from a company. At the start, they were very pleasant, and made a load of promises to get work done before we moved in. The house was filthy, and their representative (Mr Evans) promised my wife that a load of cleaning would be done. The garden would be tidied up, holes in the walls would be filled. The excess furniture would be removed. On arrival on the day we moved, nothing was done. My wife was extremely upset (Rancid milk ground into all the carpets downstairs, thick film of grease and filth in the kitchen, dirty toilets and bathroom. Cooker filthy and not working, Garden was a mess, Furniture that should have been removed was still there, etc etc. This was not vaguely dirty, but FILTHY) My wife contacted the Company Representative, who did nothing. When I eventually complained further up the chain, it was turned around so that it was our fault for not formally requesting that stuff be done. The flippancy of the lady that dealt with the complaint was beyond contempt. When I make a promise that is something will be done, when I'm representing my Company, I make sure it is done. This was definitely not the case with Fox And Sons. Having moved out, we now find that we are likely to lose a large portion of our Security Deposit because they are now blaming us for damage that was caused long before we had moved in. We are rather relieved to have now moved out, and even more relieved that we will never have to deal with this company again. There are many estate Agents, and Letting agents that work extremely hard for their clients. This isn't one of them. I expect my Secure Deposit to be taken from us, as it would appear that their primary objective is to take as much as they can from the market. Exactly as expected, we have been blamed for long term neglect and damage to the property that were there long before we moved in. We have photographs from the week we moved in, and will process an appeal, but I fully expect that it will be ignored. If truth be told, all we want now is to move forward and not have to deal with these people ever again. As the title says, NO STARS would be a more accurate appraisal.

Gosport Branch

Gosport BranchLettings. Poor communication unless they want extra money out of you. Last 4 months rent paid late by them ( this month nothing at all paid in!). Likely to lose property and credit score shot to pieces. Do not use this company to manage your property letting! Also they will try to charge you for renewal of tenancy which is illegal. There is every chance I will have to take them to court. Landlords please hear my warning!!

A smooth, brilliant experience

I had a brilliant experience working with Fox & Sons to purchase my first apartment and felt very supported throughout the process.Special mention to Grace Ottewell, who was really exceptional - with attentiveness and professionalism, Grace was very conscientious and handled all communication with care and excitement - it was really an absolute pleasure and took so much worry and stress out of the experience. Thank you all.

Bad is not enough to define and…

Bad is not enough to define and describe the service provided by Fox and Sons in Western Road. They use all the resources they have in hand to make money at the expense of tenants.When we left the apartment, they sent a company to carry out the check out and they claimed money for "damages" that already existed when we moved in (but they did not mention in the check in report). As a way of example, they wanted to charge us £185 for an allegedly damaged skirting in the living room. Well, this was only the result of an existing structural crack in the wall that made its way to the skirting. This coupled with other reasons that were rejected by a dispute ending up in me and my wife wasting time on the dispute and getting my deposit back 3 months later. On top of that, when we moved in and because we were starting new jobs, we had to pay 6 month in advance plus deposit. We made it clear that we only wanted to be on a 6-month contract and after go on a rolling contract. Well guess what? we paid to secure the apartment and when we got the contract is was a 6-month contract subject to a minimum additional 6-month contract. They do not care about tenants!! Stay away from them if you are renting!!!
