Fox and sons Hove

The team at the Hove branch are fantastic. Always attentive and professional, If I need a question answered it's never too much trouble.Jamie Elvin arranged multiple mortgages for me, he has an incredible head for numbers and overcoming seemingly impossible situations with ease and speed.Kiera is so friendly, helpful and professional, she would almost always be the first one to answer when I called.I have no hesitation in recommending the team at Fox and sons Hove.

Fox and Sons Yeovil.

Having recently returned to the south west i was struggling to find a property in the Yeovil area due to being in a complex situation and due to the huge demand in rental properties. After being told no a million times, Fox and Sons in Yeovil got in contact, it was Leon. He took the time to understand my situation fully, and then arranged a viewing of two properties for me and after three months of being told “No, Sorry”, Leon had found me the perfect property and Landlord. I move in tomorrow, its been a long process but Leon has kept me up to date throughout and has been on the phone or on email any time i have needed to ask a question or get an update, where i have spoken to other members of the team, they have been fantastic too, Leon however, has really stood out and gone above and beyond any other letting agent i have experienced over the years. Thank you Leon for picking me up, giving me hope, and getting me into a beautiful property with a fantastic landlord when you really were my last hope. You put me at ease, and restored my faith in letting agents, having been given false hope and lies over the past three months by others.

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

Great experience with Oskar at Fox and Sons, he was really helpful in finding me a new place that ticks all of my wish list and went out of his way to make sure that everything was organised, nothing was too much of an ask. 100% Recommended if you're looking for a stress free, straight forward and professional experience when securing your new home.

Professional, friendly and hard working team in Worthing.

I recently used Fox and Sons, Worthing, to sell my house. The team are professional, friendly, hard working and knowledgeable. It is such a hard decision and process, to sell your home, and the team in Worthing were very supportive. I removed my house from the market for personal reasons in the end, but I had a lot of viewings and 2 great offers.

Professional service...

Earlier in the year I chose Fox & Sons at Waterlooville to sell my Mums flat.Kieran was my point of contact and he was extremely helpful & friendly throughout the process, keeping me updated with progress and contacting the conveyancing solicitor when necessary.He was very easy to work with throughout the sale, always available to answer any queries and always professional.

Eastbourne Branch - Brilliant

Eastbourne Branch - I cannot recommend them enough! I used Fox and Sons in Eastbourne recently to sell my flat! They sold it within a couple of weeks which was great! We were in a long 6+ chain so the time to completion took about 5 months but throughout the process I spoke to Stephen the branch Manager almost weekly (with him calling me as much as the other way round which was great), he’d give me regular updates if he’d heard anything from the Solicitors etc and and nothing seemed too much trouble from anyone in the office! I felt the service was professional throughout but also they were very personable and a pleasure to deal with!

Never again will I buy a property through Fox & Sons. The very stressful process of moving was made horrendously worse, by their shocking incompetence, dishonesty and non existent communication. We found out they kept telling the vendor they couldn’t get hold of us, when the reality was, we couldn’t get hold of them! The “senior negotiator” didn’t have basic communication skills or professionalism. How he has found himself in such a job, I’ll never understand.

Dear Selby Lodge, I am sorry to hear you weren’t happy with the service provided from the member of staff mentioned. If you would like to discuss confidentially with the branch manager he is more than happy to have a chat. We would understand if you wouldn’t want to and if that is the case we wish you all the best for the future. Stephen Rodgers senior branch manager

Fantastic service provided by Courtney, she has been super efficient and we are extremely grateful. She was welcoming and informative and ensured that all of our queries were answered. Finding a property to rent in Town is so difficult as the market is pretty competitive for the area we were seeking so we are pleased that Courtney was so good at communicating with us with regards our application for our flat.

Fox and Sons Hailsham…

Shannon and Claire at the Hailsham branch were very helpful on the purchase of our house, they even chased the sellers solicitors for us to get a few things moving and always responded to our emails. It wasn’t the easiest purchase, and the transaction wasn’t smooth, through no fault of theirs, and we were happy with the service we received, and finally completed 01/08/25

Fox & Sons Eastbourne

Fox & Sons Eastbourne dealt with the sale of my property and although it took nearly a year to go through (mainly due to Covid restrictions) they did an excellent job. Tom and Steve were awesome. They responded to every email and call from me quickly and professionally. There were numerous issues along the way and they dealt with them all, including driving around to make sure I had the keys as quickly as possible. Highly recommend these guys and would definitely use them again.

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!!

Fareham branch- let down by PPL

Fareham branch, Rees and Grace were excellent in the selling of our flat, and our solicitors worked well with them. However our sale was let down by the clowns of a solicitor, PPL, who our buyer was using- make sure you avoid PPL as a simple sale to a first time buyer took over six months and indeed at many points in time looked like wasn't going to take place- not F&S's fault however.

Shocking behaviour from these guys on…

Shocking behaviour from these guys on completion day at the Seaford branch. Constant hassle about leaving the sold property minutes after we had completed on the new one. Moving is stressful enough so harassing an 8 month pregnant female to the point thay she had to call her midwife is just not acceptable. Took side of buyers and agreed that they should dump our property in the front garden or not let us collect it at all on the day. Should really have been negotiating and supporting their customer who had just paid over £4000. Please avoid at all costs.

' Amazing service so far! ' This is a very daunting process of obtaining a mortgage alone. But Nasir is amazing! Explains everything until it is clear and is a very happy and positive person. And I always get a cup of tea too which is a little bonus

Do not use!

Quite possibly the worst estate agents we have EVER dealt with. The Fox & Sons Bitterne lettings team are rude, unprofessional, incompetent and offer zero support to tenants. During a 1.5 year tenancy, I don't think we went a month without having to get another issue looked into. Communication was terrible, no courtesy phone calls/emails - you constantly had to chase to get an answer and even then they barely knew what they were doing. They lied continually in emails so always contradicted themselves, dealing with Tyler & Gary was like dealing with toddlers and it was just exhausting. It seems professionalism and customer service just isn't at the forefront of what Fox & Sons do. Avoid at all costs.

EFFECTIVE - PROFESSIONAL - DILIGENT

Without question Fox & Sons, specifically the Eastbourne branch headed up by Thomas Barrett, were on the ball from day one. Living in the USA and selling a house from 3500 miles away is no easy task but they were up for the challenge, effectively guiding me through every requirement. Step by step Thomas and his team checked every box, receiving an offer in the first couple of weeks. I was most impressed with the communication from their office, a key component in any business transaction, it was clear, concise and timely. They worked well with my solicitors and were able to keep everyone on task. With that being said, I can highly recommend Thomas and his team at Fox & Sons, Eastbourne

Peter Bush and his Team at Fox & Son…

Peter Bush and his Team at Fox & Son Taunton did a great job in producing an accurate and attractive brochure which got lots of interest, the actual sale took longer than expected but some lateral thinking by Peter got the job done with completion in only 5 weeks

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.
