I cant recomend Fox and Son highly enough. The whole team was very helpful and friendly. Stephen and his team went out of there way to help on the sale of my property and also the purchase of my new place. Thank you all again

The Esperance viewing

Lauren showed me around The Esperance. She was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions to a high level and gave me a good understanding on the points I wanted to know. She also pointed out and took me to visit nearby similar properties for comparison and other options. Very helpful and thank you!

Excellent contact from Scarlett and…

Excellent service from Scarlett and David at Fox and Sons, Eastbourne. Both very friendly and efficient on the telephone and in person for property viewings. No delays or need to chase up for anything as they were so efficient unlike the opposite experience recrived with a number of other estate agents in Eastbourne regarding lettings. Wishing them both much success in their careers.

The site staff are friendly and helpful, and it was very easy to get signed on and moved in. However: - My tenancy ended a month ago, and i haven't received my deposit back. There's been no reason given for this, I've chased and have been fobbed off to the TDS to address this. - moving into the flat that is supposedly professionally cleaned, i found the extractor was filthy and covered in thick grease on the inside and outside, which is a fire hazard. The 'cleaning' of the flat was a lick of paint over everything, hairs were painted into wood work, there was a manky plank of wood holding the bath panel together and even the bathroom string light switch was covered in white paint & knotted. - I pointed out the airing cupboard door wouldn't open prior to moving in, this wasnt fixed. I again reported it. Someone came and sprayed wd-40 on it, and i advised again that the job wasn't complete. The door held access to the hot water switch, which i couldn't switch on. - I advised via email of the tenancy payment dates and how I'd be unable to pay on the stated date. I was told this was fine, thus signed my tenancy. The tenancy was never amended, so i was accused of being in arrears in my first month. - This landlord is almost as useless and seedy as Fergus Wilson, and Fox & sons should be embarrassed to have him as a client.

We went to view a property with Fox & Sons and decided to put our property on the market. They arranged a visit by Callum to value our property and within a couple of days it was on the Market and viewing's had already started. The selling process seemed to take a long time due to being Leasehold but we were advised and supported by both Callum and Annabel who kept us calm and we carried on. Special thanks also to Sam who was very informative to our prospective buyers on viewings. Thank You to your professional Team.

Crawley Branch - Zero Customer Service!

Used Fox & Sons Crawley multiple times to rent one of our properties. They sent us a bill for lettings shortly after a new Tennent arrived which was incorrect and we naturally requested an accurate invoice. Silence for several weeks until we got a letter from a debt collector!! Wowser! We then spent time chasing unanswered calls and emails. The answer from the lettings team at Fox & Son Crawley was "it's nothing to do with us". Clearly it was everything to do with the Crawley branch as they can not do simple addition. No response from branch manager either - as expected. Would not recommend and will avoid in future!!

A great experience from start to finish! Excellent communication. The sales team who showed us around the property were wonderful, as were the guys in the office who processed our purchase. Moving in on my birthday!! Huge thanks to Annabel and the team :)

YeeHaa - Hello Cowboys …

Due to various physical and mental health problems I trusted in the professional attitude of Calvin, manager of local office in Poole and Rachel who deals with auction sales elsewhere - both were absolutely awful, unprofessional and cost me quite a bit of money. Definitely world not recommend Poole branch F&S nor Rachel Barnes re auction input to property! Messed me about and caused much distress when they were aware of my physical and mental health! Definitely do not recommend.

5* Fox and Sons Eastbourne

Fox and Sons eastbourne have been fantastic with helping me find my first home, I told them roughly what i was looking for and within 2 days they had contacted me with my perfect home! The whole process was great and they really supported a nervous 1st time buyer. I will definitely be reccomending them to everyone! Thanks so much to Steve and his team! :)

Did the Solicitors work for them!

4 months to move into an empty, chain-free property seems pretty fascicle but it wouldve been a hell of a lot longer had it not been for Curtis and his colleagues at Fox and Sons, Hastings. I had 6 months to port my mortgage or it wouldve doubled and my property wouldve been unaffordable. It was two certificates holding back the sell. My solicitors were hopeless, the sellers solicitors were just as bad but thankfully Curtis said if this isnt sorted within 24 hours Max is pulling out. 12 minutes later the certificates would be there in the morning and 12 hours later we were good to go. I get they want their cut, but I hear so many stories about estate agents taking their eye off the ball, and the buyer left chasing, thankfully that wasnt the case with Fox and Sons. I had to pay my solicitors £2,500, shouldve given it to these guys! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Rented from fox and sons (Eastbourne) review

I rented from fox and son for 5 years and Senior letting branch manager was quick to responses and supporting when needed. Even after tendency ended there was good communication throughout. Senior Letting branch manager would explain and go into detail if needed more understanding. Team was always polite and welcoming when contacted. Never had any issues (Eastbourne fox and sons)

Quite poor

As a letting agent they were rather greedy in keeping back much of the deposit As estate agents they weren't particularly on the ball and advertising properties as available after they had gone off the market

Chose Fox & Sons are my letting agents. Very professional and competent in setting everything up. Tenants found very quickly. Aga is a remarkable force and she provided the contacts I needed to arrange refurbishment of my flat. There are patently good people in the Eastbourne office.
