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.

TrustpilotDisappointed
I have put one star as there’s no option for no stars.. appalling service, put two properties on the market with them, Goring office and Worthing, both offices are incompetent, no one ever calls back, wish I hadn’t put my property on the market with them, if we had no interest for a week or so, they would say drop the price, after they’d valued the property at that price. Management are useless, told lies to get themselves out of the s**t, would NOT recommend whatsoever. Stay clear of there shoddy workmanship!

TrustpilotDealings with his company didn’t even…
Dealings with his company didn’t even get past first contact. I saw a house I very much wanted to view and made several phone calls to their Yeovil branch over a 2 day period to arrange it. Not once was the phone answered in person and despite leaving VM messages, I was never called back. I was even considering knocking on the door of the property and asking the owners to contact Fox & Sons themselves to arrange a viewing! However, I have since found a property so no need, but if and when I ever come to sell it, it certainly won’t be through Fox & Sons. They don’t appear to work for either sellers OR buyers.

TrustpilotUnprofessional Demeanor
The Crawley team, particularly Branch Manager Kane Caulfield, displayed unprofessional, rude, and disrespectful behavior.They wasted our time by not responding promptly to our inquiries, forcing us to follow up continuously for weeks, both regarding our initial offer and when the property came back on the market.When we decided not to proceed with the offer, Kane Caulfield began speaking to us in a rude and unprofessional manner.We kindly request that take appropriate action regarding the Branch Manager's behavior.

TrustpilotExtremely poor contact
Impossible to get a hold of them by phone or email. Couldn't get them to contact the potential landlord to sign the tenancy agreement until 7 days after the agreed move in date at which point tried to increase the rent from £1000pcm to £1300pcm. I didn't accept it and tried contacting them for over 2 months to return my deposit and they only started replying to my emails after I threatened legal action if they didn't return my deposit. Still waited until the day before I said I would take action before returning my money. I wouldn't ever look at a house managed by this company ever again and I should have called everything off once I saw how difficult it was to get replies even before signing anything

TrustpilotFox and Sons Peacehaven
Slammed the phone down on my father when he was enquiring about a Peacehaven bungalow and was asked if his property was on the market. When he said "Not yet" the agent simply hung up. Serious buyer turned away by this agency. Would reconsider if you are thinking of listing your property with them.

TrustpilotSimply the best.
I had 8 different local estate agents come to value my house. All except Fox & Sons valued it by comparing it with properties that bore little resemblance to mine. The Fox & Sons valuer actually looked at the property properly and valued it accordingly. It sold within 5 days of going on the market for £16,000 more than the others had valued it. We have just completed.

TrustpilotFox & Sons - Waterlooville
At Waterlooville branch , I have to say the staff are excellent. I was a client buying from a different county, the help and support from this branch was amazing. James Barton-leigh showed us the property first, polite, professional, friendly and helpful, this young guy knows his business and is really great. The manager John Leach has helped me so much. He assisted me when I was panicking about a survey, kept in touch and helped to make my move smooth. Both these gentlemen were brilliant, very helpful, went above and beyond to really help. I cannot express enough how this branch and their staff have assisted me in what was a tricky purchase due to external reasons. Want to buy, go to fox and sons Waterlooville, outstanding service from this amazing staff. Thank you all, best staff ever.

TrustpilotSale went OK deposit handling inept…
Purchase went OK-ish although took nearly 7 months for a simple case. They found tenants quick enough, and took their deposit. Getting this custodial deposit transferred to my TDS account a nightmare, 15 work days after advising them of details needed for the transfer (and 34days after taking the deposit), their "accounts team" demand the same TDS information and tenant/property address information they already have. 18 days later I'm still trying to get this done (Portsmouth). Finally Fox & sons have apologised, and admitted their staff needed further training. They eventually provided details of the secure placement of the tenants deposit, and have given a £100 compensation. This is of course scant compensation for the hours of work caused to me, the anxiety I've suffered, and ineptitude shown by their staff

TrustpilotVery professional service
Just completed on my house sale in Eastbourne. I found Tom and his colleagues very easy to deal with. I accepted an offer for full market price within 10 days. Tom kept me up to date weekly with the process, keeping in contact with my conveyancer also. I went to Fox & Sons to sell because 15 yrs earlier I bought through them. Good to know their standards are still as high as they were then!
Dear Winefride,thank you so much for your kind words about the Eastbourne office. all the best for the future. kind regardssteve
