I have kept an excellent record as a tenant in my previous homes. My experience with Lauren and Binal at the Fox & Sons London Road Southampton was a very terrible one as both representatives kept lieing at every point. At some point I stopped taking verbal communication from them except through emails just to have a proof. They were unprofessional and dodgy in picking calls,so I started to call the sales unit to help put my call through to the lettings unit. Please avoid letting agents of the sort. To before warned is to before harmed.very unprofessional staff, very poor communication.

TrustpilotTaunton Branch, excellent service
I recently visited Fox & Sons in Taunton to purchase a Victorian terraced house in the town. From start to finish Millie and Peter and his team were very professional and super friendly. The sale went through in only a few months, even though I had to renegotiate a new offer after having a survey done.

David Johnston at Fox & Sons Eastbourne has been absolutely outstanding. He’s extremely friendly, professional, and always punctual for every viewing. He takes the time to clearly explain everything and gives accurate, honest details about each property, often providing even better insight than what you see online. His communication is excellent, he’s patient with questions, and genuinely cares about helping you find the right home. Truly a great agent and a pleasure to deal with highly recommended!

GoogleKieran & Navaz at Fox & Sons Lewes were very helpful & patient throughout. They managed to fit me in for 4 viewings of the property in a relatively short space of time, while keeping me informed of any new/relevant information along the way.
Kieran also enabled the “making of the offer” stage go very smoothly. I believe he handled both parties with much care & consideration. Thanks very much & hope to see you both soon : )

TrustpilotVery positive experience
I had a very positive experience with the staff at the Fox & Sons Bitterne branch, particularly Tom and Owen, who provided excellent customer service throughout my experience. The meeting with the mortgage adviser, arranged by Owen, was especially helpful.

TrustpilotHarassing me with phone calls when iv asked them to stop more than once
I asked fox and sons to come a do a valuation of my late father’s property. I have then been phoned 20times since asking if they can put the property on the market for me. I asked them politely to not phone me any more as it’s on the market with a different estate agent and to take my details of the system. They said they would I have since then received 5 other phone calls from them and each time been told they will take my of the the system. I have had three calls since and each time I have asked not to be phoned and they keep phoning me. It’s getting to the point of harassment now. I would stay clear. They clearly don’t listen to peoples wishes and feel it’s ok to continue to phone someone when they have been asked not to. If only they put the same amount of effort into selling a property ( they had my old house on the market two years and had about three people for viewings.

GoogleOn 02nd November at 1322 hours Estate agent by name of HAMZA working at Lewes branch was completely DISHONEST. He clearly LIED to me on the phone about the manager being in the office and could not speak to me as he was on the phone to another customer.
I found out minutes later that the manager was NOT in the office. He was in fact out on an appointment.
To make matters worse HAMZA called my mobile minutes later but literally immediately terminated the call faking that the manager had in fact called me back on my request.
I got this information from colleague of HAMZA female estate agent name of MAVAZ who clearly hadn't spoken to or been briefed of the lie by HAMZA.
Honesty is absolutely NON-NEGOTIABLE.
Do not trust this branch or definitely not estate agent named HAMZA.
Once a liar always a liar in my book.
Absolutely awful behaviour.

TrustpilotContinuously hassled even after asking multiple times not to be
The estate agent that came to value my property needed more customer experience. He asked very intrusive questions, was rude about other estate agents valuations, was very pushy and I felt I had to be firm when I said I am only wanting a second opinion, not for them to market my property. I asked not to be contacted by them and I would be in touch if I needed their services. In the weeks following, the decision was made for me not to use them as I was contacted via telephone at least twice a week, pushing me to put it on the market with them when all I’d asked for is a valuation. When I asked multiple times to be taken off their contact list, the message clearly didn’t get through as I was contacted a further three times after this. No voicemails were left - just missed calls from an unknown number.

TrustpilotI would give 0 if I could
⁷I would give 0 if I could. Terrible experience with fox&sons London Road Brighton. We had our house advertised with them for bearly 6 months. We had 3 viewings & 10 cancellations, however, when you looked, they claimed we had 13 viewing. Our biggest mistake was to go with them. Totally unprofessional photos. We changed the agent and within a week we had 4 viewing & one offer!! Additionally, when we left this agent, they carried on advertising our house without our permission with a new price!! Dispute both written & verbal communications! Totally unprofessional. We should have read the reviews and avoided them at all cost!! So far we have had 2 offers and might have the final offer soon.

Natasha is the worst. She told us a bunch of false information when moving in (she said it comes with parking but didn’t and ended up costing us £10 per day extra) and she is super rude.

TrustpilotAwful mortgage advising service
Booked an appointment with one of their mortgage advisers, a lot of info i did not need to know that the company has x branches and have done x money on mortgages, just to be cancel on the second appointment. Got back to me after 4months saying he would help me that time, after a couple exchanges no more correspondence ive no idea whats going on. Meanwhile was contacted by another mortgage adviser she said to give her a change she’s different from her colleague. First appointment same things, second appointment a no show. Whats wrong with you people? Unbelievable. At least have the decency to cancel the appointment, i got out of work for the appointment waited 1h, even emailed and nothing.

TrustpilotGosport Fox & Son - bad experience
Gosport. Pushy agents who will get a sale at any price including coming to your property without notice, walking through the grounds to the back door and scaring you to get you to accept a lower offer. I wish we hadn't been tricked into going with them as they offered success via a " boxing day" campaign and their "extensive" data based. Both yield nothing but low offers.

TrustpilotDo not use this Eastbourne Estate Agent
We feel our property was overpriced, which led to reduction after reduction in sale price. Did not respond to phone calls, or said things would be done that weren`t. To us the agents came across as arrogant, starting from not explaining the length of initial contract, right through to poor viewings both in numbers and quality of details given to possible buyers. Things were delayed because information was not passed through, and quite often was inaccurate. Very poor value for money. Instructed around the end of July 2022, completed 30th March 2023, pushed into a very short time between exchange and completion because of misinformation, and into a large reduction on our sale price.

Dear Mr and Mrs Lindfield, Firstly I am sorry you weren't happy with the overall service and some of these points will be taken as constructive feedback for my team. while you mention viewings numbers we did achieve a sale.i feel some comments here are not totally fair, the reduction and the time it took was due to issues with the chain not with fox and sons, a buyer in the chain asked for a £20k reduction as his agent below lost their buyer and re sold the property for £30k less. which then filtered through the rest of the chain, a price to which you agreed. we also dropped our fee to help in any way we could without hesitation.either way the points around service i will look into and try to improve the team.all the best for the future,Stephen RodgersSenior Branch Manager

TrustpilotThe brighton branch
The brighton branch, has taken 2 years to get my dad's flat sold after he died. Recommended to sale the flat at auction by Ray Murphy, that fell through after months of trying to get it sold,then went down the normal route. This all starts out fine ,in 2022,then had two more offer ,these were not satisfactory, finally had an offer in August 2024 which has taken 5 months of us chasing to get over the line. Alfie is the person not to take at his word as this was only what he thought we wanted to hear. Never use fox&sons. Sonia collins

TrustpilotSeamless experience
I am absolutely thrilled to share my experience with Abbey Northway at Fox & Sons! From the moment we began working together, Abbey’s extraordinary professionalism and commitment to excellence shone through. What sets Abbey apart is her meticulous attention to detail, she left no stone unturned in ensuring my property was presented flawlessly. Her insight and expertise were invaluable, making the entire process feel effortless.Abbey’s communication is truly unparalleled. She kept me informed at every stage, consistently going above and beyond to ensure I felt supported and confident. Her proactive updates and prompt responses were a breath of fresh air, transforming what can often be a stressful process into an incredibly smooth and transparent journey.But what truly makes Abbey a standout agent is her warm, kind, and compassionate nature. She didn’t just treat me as a client; she treated me with genuine care and respect. Her empathy and understanding are rare qualities that made this experience not just successful but genuinely enjoyable.The results speak for themselves: Abbey sold my property in under three months, an achievement that exceeded all my expectations! Her dedication, expertise, and relentless commitment to achieving the best outcome are nothing short of extraordinary.If you’re looking for an estate agent who will go above and beyond, Abbey Northway is simply the best. She’s a true gem in the industry, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Thank you, Abbey, for your phenomenal service and for making this process an absolute pleasure!

I recently got a place with the help of Victoria and her team at fox & sons. I must say I was so impressed with her performance and attitude to work in terms of her swift responses and patient cos I know I rang her so many times which can be annoying to some people, but she never complained, she entertained every of my calls, listened to my worries and put me through all the process that might have been challenging to me. She literally makes all the process easy and fast for me. I feel so happy and confident that I can work with fox & sons in future when I have a property project. A very big thank you to Victoria and her lovely team at fox & sons Portsmouth.

Absolutely disgusted at the way this company treated my son and his fiance. They had put a holding deposit on a flat and through no fault of theirs the landlady withdrew the flat and Fox and Sons refused to give them back their holding deposit. They could not afford to lose that money.

Trustpilotdisinterested and inexperienced
Initial contact with the company seemed ok receiving emails and texts for the upcoming valuation. However the RE agent seemed inexperienced totally disinterested, didn't seem to have much idea about valuing a property other than going on line to look at other properties in the area - something I'd already done. Worst of all she never followed through with providing the valuation information as part of the follow up. I would definitely not use Fox & sons to sell my property given this experience.

TrustpilotFox and sons are shocking
Fox and sons are shocking. You do get bamboozled into a long contract, and i agree they are very rude and the pictures are rubbish. I took my house of the market with them while still in contract. It was sour grapes beacause we had s viewing and once i removed our house got rudely told there is no way the lady would have brought ur house. Crewkerne branch very rude. Was even told would i pay 45,000 pounds more for a 3 bed semi than ours which is a 4 bed detached with a garage. Absolutly shocking wouldnt recommend them at all. They just want u to keep lowering the price.

Never touch these people with a barge pole! I’ve never in my life had such a bad experience with an estate agent and that’s saying something! Major pressure tactics to get you to spend more, refusal to return deposit, which thankfully they are so dodgy that tgey do not have a bank account and you need to pay by card! Always remember you can do a charge bsck bua your bank and you get your money back! The excuses I heard to hold onto your money! I think this may be hiw these guys get paid! Anyway rubbish service, rubbish people and steer well clear of these cowboys! Sequence homes are part of this group so steer clear of them as well.
