GoogleReview for Charlie,
Charlie at Fox & Sons has been unbelievably efficient and helpful. He worked so hard to find us the best options possible. Also he was so easy to contact whenever we needed him. He kept us up to date with developments, following up on the mortgage lender. He is very professional.
We are very satisfied happy customers.

GoogleMe and my partner met Danielle while we was looking for our first home (we are both first time buyers) Danielle was very helpful and explained the whole process to us.
I'm a very panicky person and I get worried, but Danielle made me feel at ease and any questions we asked wasn't to big and she answered them :)
Will definitely recommend Danielle :)

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

Curtis Knight has been fantastic throughout our journey as first time buyers. He has remained the apex of communication between ourselves and the sellers with prompt responses, clear explanations and following up inquiries.
His efficient problem solving and determination to keep the ball rolling as smoothly as possible has been an absolute god send. I couldn't recommend him more as the port of call for buying a house. Thank you Curtis!

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.
