FOX & SONS COWBOYS

They do not deserve the 1 starLet my house through FOX & SONS using the Yeovil branch. New tenant who they referenced claimed he had lost his job after 3 weeks. Turned out he was a scamming conman but when I proved that he had faked his work, previous landlord and employment references they treated me like a joke and did nothing. Thanks to FOX & SONS and 13 months later, £19,000.00 poorer and still counting the cost both financially, mentally and emotionally we have got to the end of this vile ordeal I would not wish on my worse enemy. Throughout I asked for help and they just claimed it was not their responsibility. They believed that by referencing prospective tenants by email only was adequate. We have had to go through a year of hell, they just turned their backs on us. The Ombudsman has now taken up my fight and with FOX AND SONS not looking to change their referencing practices anytime soon I should not think I would be alone.DO NOT TOUCH THESE CORPORATE COWBOYS!!!! THEY REALLY DO NOT CARE ABOUT ME/YOU/US. AND JUST TO UPDATE THE OMBUDSMAN WONT DO ANYTHING BECAUSE F AND S HAVE WRAPPED THEMSELVES IN A PROTECTIVE BUBBLE, THEY OWN THE REFERE NCING COMPANY THEY USE, TENANT LETTING COMPANY (TLC) ALL COME UNDER SEQUENCE BUT THE REFERENCING COMPANY DOESNT COME UNDER THE PROPERTY OMBUDSMAN REMIT. I WOULD IMAGINE THE OMBUDSMAN ARE OWNED BY THEM AS WELL, SO THEY CAN DO 3RD RATE REFERENCES THAT YOU NEVER HAVE ANY COME BACK WHEN THEY GO WRONG. PLENTY OF OTHER GREAT LETTING AGENCIES OUT THERE OR, DO YOUR OWN.

Fox and sons Worthing are incapable of fulfilling my one and only simple request. They telephone me regularly asking if I would like to sell my property. I have asked nicely many times that they take my details off their list. They always apologise and say that they will but they never do. Incompetent, if they can't perform the simple task of updating their contact list, how can you expect them to market your property ????

WARNING: FOX AND SON PROPERTY MANAGEMENT IS A HEALTH HAZARD!

WARNING: FOX AND SON PROPERTY MANAGEMENT IS A HEALTH HAZARD!Their cunning name is a perfect match for their deceitful service! I've been plagued by ongoing water heater issues and a gaping hole in the wall, putting my health at risk. Despite my repeated pleas, they've consistently ignored and dismissed my concerns. It's clear they prioritize profits over people's well-being!Don't be fooled by their false promises and incompetence. I'm fighting to escape this property and warn others: AVOID FOX AND SON LIKE THE PLAGUE! They're a liability, not a management team. Share this warning with everyone you know! #FoxAndSon #PropertyManagementFail #HealthHazards #Incompetence"

Unprofessional and dishonest

Impossible to contact, deaf to complaints, and lying like a toddler. Different employees giving contradictory statements. Avoid at all cost!

This branch was so bad I seriously thought it was a youTube prank. Daniel Carr, Alex Pink and Holly Homan are a trio dedicated to not ringing you back and providing zero service. To be this bad must take years of determination and dedication. I salute them all.NegativeProfessionalism

Brilliant Experience.

What ever I say would not be enough to praise Fox and Sons.The whole team were totally professional, supportive and respectful but there are two people that deserve extra praise:Jack Alsobrook who had the confidence and drive from the outset to complete the sale within the tight timescale I had set him.Abigale Webber who was contactable, communicative and supportive when the going got tough, working tirelessly to ensure a timely completion. Thank you to everyone involved in the sale.

Honest review from potential client

Honest review from potential client. After arranging and attending an appointment at my property on Friday I was informed by Rob the branch manager he would phone and email me that evening. After no response I emailed again Saturday and then again on Monday requesting a response for a valuation. Both emails were ignored. Phoned Tuesday to request a response and was given an apology and informed that I would receive a response today as I explained I was awaiting valuation. Didn’t even have the courtesy to phone back either way. If this is the way they treat potential sales and clients I wouldn’t trust them to sell anything let alone a property. Total waste of my time and now I will have to arrange another agent . Avoid

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.

Fox and Sons Gosport

Fox and Sons Gosport, I would never deal with again after being part of a chain, There is no communication failed call back requests, didn't ever know what was going on within the office it was always someone else who was dealing with it. I do strongly believe that they helped delay the whole exchange process as there was no urgency or pressure applied from them. Awful service

Callum and his team have been so much help whilst selling our property during lockdown. We expected things to take many many months but the team were ultra responsive and my property sold in less than two weeks. It was marketed beautifully and I was kept up to date at every step. I am so pleased we used these guys and would highly recommend them.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

AVOID Bitterne Southampton branch

Bitterne Southampton branch. If you are trying to sell/buy your house, don't bother booking with these guys. They are a Total Shower. They don't answer their phones during the day. All day. They don't turn up to viewing appointments and subsequently lie about it.A waste of time for both vendors and buyers!!!In reply to your response f&s, I have already spoken to your branch and they want yet another opportunity to carry on regardless. Sorry but this last episode is the cherry on the cake especially wrt your Branch Manager there.

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.

Look else where for an estate agent

I will join the significant percentage of reviewers giving Fox & Sons, in this case the Bitterne branch, 1-star. As the buyer of my property said after the end of completion of the transaction, "Fox & Sons were awful". That was my experience throughout the majority of the sales cycle. I suggest finding a different estate agent.

My wife and I are quite elderly and…

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.

Fox 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.

We had a really difficult time trying to view properties and get applications through during the pandemic but Holly was absolutely brilliant and helped us throughout the whole process. Even when there was a hiccup, she went above and beyond to help us secure our new home. We appreciate all of her help and are really happy to have had it all done so quickly!
