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.
4/5
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.

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.

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.

GooglePathetic. An hours driving to view a house. Estate agent arrived without keys wearing tracksuit bottoms. Apparently he’d been having a bad day. Bless. So no house viewing and an hours drive back. House looked nice from the outside though I guess.

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

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.

TrustpilotVery 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.

Staff at their Gosport office very friendly and helpful but when it comes to sorting problems a absolute disgrace. We rented from them and gave a list of items that needed doing in the flat and none of these were ever but right. We have now been waiting four weeks for the refund of our deposit even though the landlord has authorised the full payment.Wouldnever use them again.

TrustpilotStop 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.

TrustpilotEven 1 star is too much
Even 1 star is too much ! Over valued house by 45 thousand, then they informed us it was up too high! Had to chase them for feedback from viewings , staff extremely unhelpful ONCE they had the property on Their portfolio, have removed house from the market will wait until we are out of contract and use someone else, also their fees are astronomical.
Where the same review appears twice we show it once. We leave out reviews that name another agent or another of the brand's offices.
