TrustpilotVery disappointed in service!
Very bad experience trying to sell our flat.Inexperienced young agents with little knowledge of the property holding viewings.Not turning up on occasions. Bad liason with potential buyer, took more than 6 months only for buyer to pull out! Not promoting the property, said they had London investors, so had wider coverage than local agents, another failure. Will not use them again!

I have just recently sold my first home with Fox & Sons in Burgess Hill and was very pleased with their service. We had them and another agent out to start with to compare and really liked the strategy James(the manager) offered. It worked really well and we sold with in 4 weeks with constant communication with us through every step of the way. The whole team were very helpful and polite making the process stress free and even fun! Would and have recommended when selling and buying to anyone.

TrustpilotFriendly and prefessional
I have been using the services of Fox and sons for a short time and find the staff to be very friendly and helpful.Sometimes it is hard to get hold of someone as it is a small team but always get back to me eventually.

Great service from Steve and the team in Eastbourne. They kept me fully updated through the purchase process and were an absolute pleasure to deal with.

TrustpilotAlways in touch and persistent
Always in touch and persistentI didn't end up buying with Fox & Sons but they were one of the only agencies out of the several I was in touch who constantly followed up and kept trying, even when I kept saying no to places I visited. Sometimes the properties they suggested really did not match my criteria, but this was better than other agencies who would show you one property then disappear if you didn't like it.

TrustpilotI would recommend that you avoid:
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.

TrustpilotCompletely incompetent from start to…
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.

GoogleBeth, Matt and Leon at Fox & Sons provided us with excellent service throughout the process of buying our new house in Axminster. We were kept up to date at all times and the whole experience was really positive. Thank you!

TrustpilotFox & 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.

We would like to say a massive thankyou to Chris Stockill from Southampton Bitterne Area. This being our first time buying a house and being new to the procedures. Chris helped every step of the way answering any questions very quickly. Would recommend his friendly service. Jony & Glenn

I wish I Had seen the reviews before I went with Fox & Son. yes they sold our house but for the money they’re charging they put in very little effort. there has been no communication and they never call when they say they will, quite frankly I feel they are just all about the money there is no customer service. I would not recommend Fox & Son‘s Portsmouth office. Very disappointed 😔

TrustpilotEstate 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!
