Travis,Callum,Devon and the team at fox and sons Eastate agents bexhill have been very professional and quick off the mark for the sale of my house in bexhill. They have always been nice to us and with buyers who have viewed our bungalow. We are on the final push now and I’m sure they will keep the great work up. Thanks team from Dave and Kathy Stitchman.

GoogleThe top agents in Eastbourne. Thankyou Peter and his team of amazing staff. We have just sold through fox and sons and bought through Another agent in Eastbourne You couldn't compare the two agents fox and sons were so proactive and helpful always updating us throughout the whole process. Also James the mortgage advisor managed to save us hundreds of pounds. If anyone needs a mortgage or to sell there house call Fox and sons

My wife and I are quite elderly and both retired. We live in our own apartment in a private block which we purchased ten years ago. A few months ago Fox & Sons let a nearby apartment to a woman with severe mental health issues that had been evicted from a council property for causing a nuisance and attracting vermin. Ever since moving in she has randomly dumped huge amounts of rubbish around the building and only last week the council removed 72 bin bags of rotting food from her apartment including pigeons that had also taken up residence. The quality of our lives and that of the other residents has been completely ruined by the inexcusable action of Fox & Sons when it was plain from the outset that this person was seriously mentally ill. We have suffered knives being thrown from her balcony, disgusting graffiti on the staircase, the smell of rotting food permeating the building and cat litter spread everywhere. It is obvious that Fox & Sons took up no references whatsoever before letting the property and they cannot provide any information about this woman’s departure. I am utterly appalled that this company has caused so many residents such misery.

TrustpilotFox and Sons letting agents - no service at all
Fox and Sons advertised a property to let nearby that was particularly suitable for us. I sent a message via the Rightmove website expressing our interest and asking to view the property. I got no response at all. I called the telephone number and left a message on the answer phone - and got no response. I called the branch and was told I had reached the sales team who could not help but they took a message for me and said they would get the letting department to call me back. No response. I sent emails. No response. Eventually today I drove to the branch to talk to somebody. The lettings department is behind a locked door, no response when I rang the bell. I went into the branch and was told the people there were sales staff and the lettings staff were unavailable. I asked for contact details of a regional manager or head office that I could contact and was told that they do not know the contact details for a headoffice/ regional manager but would take my details and ask the lettings agent to call me. Of course they have not. I eventually drove to the property to see if I could contact the landlord directly. Not surprisingly, after all this time that I have wasted trying to raise somebody from Fox & Sons the property has been let to somebody else. I will never ever use Fox & Sons and would advise others not to either.

A first rate experience from the start with Fox & Sons Chandler's Ford when selling our property. I cannot thank Chloe enough for keeping things moving and keeping me sane through some horrendously difficult times with my solicitor whilst selling a property. I am so grateful for all the help and advice along the way. Fantastic team and service.

TrustpilotHastings branch what a joke I was…
Hastings branch what a joke I was phoned out of the blue offering a free valuation which I accepted then the problems started. I was offered a slot on Saturday 3rd April 11:00 with the valuer only to receive two text messages at the same time with an appointment of 10:45 and 11:30 after ringing there office the 11:00 was confirmed as correct only to receive a call a little while later to change the time to 12:00 so I said I will cancel the whole sorry affair only to get another text confirming my 12:00 appointment with a different valuer. How hard can it be to get something so simple right.
Dear Timothy, we are very sorry you have had this experience with one of our branches. we take all feedback very seriously and this has been passed on to the area management team who will deal with the office and improve the levels of service.All the best for the future Fox and Sons

I had a good experience buying a flat represented by Fox & Sons in Hastings. All the staff, especially Alex, Dan and Charles, were very reactive when I had queries per email or the phone and were very helpful in making sure tradespeople had access to the flat throughout the process when checks had to be done. They made the transition very easy.

TrustpilotThey just lie, also supported by management, despicable
had a viewing booked, no-one turned up. when i queried; agent stated was gone. They had left 2 messages to cancel, on a phone that doesn't have a messaging system. When i raised a complaint to head office, management just doubled down on this lie. They simply cannot be trusted.

Stop advertising on right move as a ‘flat’ when it clearly is not and you can see it’s a studio very misleading and not what people want to see when looking come on fox and sons it’s clearly not difficult to get right

TrustpilotLuke Hallewell from Fox and Sons
We had Luke from Fox and sons in Hastings round to value our property and at the time he was very nice and knowledgeable. We had in total three agents round who all valued the property about the same. After this we had some conversations with all agents and decided not to go with Fox and sons as after speaking with people knew they advanced us of their very unpleasant experience with them.we Emailed Luke at Fox and Sons to say thank you for your time but we have decided to go another route , below is a copy of the response we got back from him.Notice all the exclamation marks and how he tries to make us feel guilty about going elsewhere !“ Good Morning, What’s the reason for going with another route? I have worked so hard to have given you the best fee anyone has ever had from a fox and sons even better than what my own sister was able to get!! To do this I had to have a long meeting about it with my area manager to get approved! We have the biggest reach in the town due to our offices across the UK and have the best client care set up in the town. I know you had two other agents out one is yet to sell a house over £375,000 this year so I wouldn’t go with them!!I keep getting clients of the other agent you had who claim to be the best in the town, calling me up to take the property on as they haven’t heard from them and been made to do viewings themselves!! They claim they are too busy this is due to them having to many properties to manage this can be seen as they are known for having the highest fall through rate as well. The route you have decide to take I hope works well for you but if you need my services in future once being on with another agent I won’t be able to get the fee lowered again. This is a shame as you had mentioned you would use us if we could do £6,500 including vat and I actually managed to get it to £6,000 including vat.

GoogleWe attended a viewing with Oskar Lockyer who was very helpful, well informed and thoroughly professional throughout the inspection. He communicated with us clearly and concisely to make sure we had all of the facts about the house as well as the surrounding area. A real credit to Fox & Sons as well as his client.
Thank you for your superb 5* review. Best wishes, Lucy, Customer Relations.

When Fox and Sons get your email and phone number, the harassment begins. I’ve asked them repeatedly to delete my data but they ‘archive’ it and then the phone calls and spam starts again.

Google5 stars from me! I had 2 other valuations from other agents. I chose fox and sons because Peter was brilliant as he Gave me a realistic valuation and he was very enthusiastic. After we went on the market steve was great in updating me on interest and feedback from viewings and within 2 weeks he sold my house asking price and helped me with the process of selling.

TrustpilotThey were the worse letting agency
They were the worse letting agency that I have worked with, they don't report things from tenant to landlord and vice versa, they are just on the landlord side and not as a in between person to mediate, they don't do their work properly, are very unprofessional, avoid at all costs to work with this people, there are loads of letting agents to work with(Reviewed) One day after I posted this review, Fox & Sons decided to leave a review on google as I'm a tradesman and guess what, they rated me 1 star without having any contact with me in my area, just so you can see how unscrupulous and vengeful this people are, avoid! avoid! avoid! still haven't received my deposit after almost 2 months I left the house I rented through them

TrustpilotI made the mistake of going with Fox and Sons, Bexhill
I made the mistake of going with Fox and Sons in May, and they turned out to be terrible. I dumped them and went with another estate agent. That would have been the end of it, and I wouldn't have left a bad review but... I specifically asked for them to remove my details from their system, and not receive any marketing. Low and behold, I started receiving marketing calls today. So, here's my review of them; Terrible photos, and I had to take my own high def' ones in the end, and even those, they managed to pixelate and screw up when they put them on the web. Even though I showed them round, they kept sending agents to viewings who hadn't been here before, and had no idea where anything was (a large sprawling property). They push all their own financial services and conveyancers, who are rubbish, and have numerous bad reviews on the internet. I had no idea who was in charge, or who I was dealing with from week to week, and they lied about their database of potential buyers. In any case, if I receive any more marketing calls from them I am reporting them to the police for harassment. Don't use them.
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.
