Total crap the valuation it was all sunshine…

At the valuation it was all sunshine and smiles with ,Buyers marching to my door I WAS TOLD , As soon as the sign went up SILENCE. A month later Not one viewing No communication , Sibi emailed and said if this doesn't pick up I'll apply to revoke the contract, Just 15 minutes later A notification appeared ,"You have a viewing" Bullshit, They just got an ex colleague of friend to visit on a day I had not chosen for viewings and the escorted viewing option was a sham because the agent turned up 20 minutes late After id shown the person around .This shambles was to make the threat go away , They then called me and advised me to lower the price Into the next lower bracket and it would creat huge interest . Bullshit Nothing For another month , A phone call from them put if the blue Arrived And the cheeky bastards wanted me to lower the price again . So I stayed there and then I want out of this contract for complete failure on your side ,without any penalties for earl closure ,And if you don't agree I'll take this to the ombudsman. 10 mins later, That's ok the contract is void no penalties . So now all I need is for them to come and get there bloody sign of my garden , I'm not advertising their shit company for free. Avoid fox's like the bloody plague. Total wankers

Awful service, unprofessional behaviour and lies

Crawley office. Communication 0 Professionalism 0 Honesty 0 It all started when Jack Allsobrook came to value our property. He was full of it. Told us that he had a few interested people for our property and could expect viewing right away. No viewings in the first month. Little wonder, when they do not answer the phone. Then came the recommendation to lower the asking price. So we took £15k off the price. We got one viewing in the second month. I called the office and eventually got through on 8 July because I’d not received a marketing update in over a week. I was told two calls were made 29 June and 02 July. No missed calls on my phone from them. I was repeatedly told the calls were made, we have a log and I repeatedly replied, I was not called I have no missed calls from Fox & Sons. After several back and forward with this, I asked for the branch manager Kane Caulfield to call me to discuss . He called and basically reiterated what his colleague had told me and proceed to argue he was right and I was wrong. Very unprofessional. Very rude and disrespectful. Clearly the training didn’t focus on not arguing with the clients! The upshot of the alleged missed calls was to tell me I’d a viewing. Now why they couldn’t text me as they have done in the past, or call the other person I am selling the house with, beggars understanding. My conclusion is that it was a lie. I’ve now come off the market with Fox & Sons, and I wish I’d read the Trustpilot reviews before I agreed a contract. Utter cowboy outfit and a shining example of the reputation given to estate agents. Now here’s the killer, 13 July, I called in person to the Crawley office to collect my key. I gave my name and after a wait of about 3 minutes the person present my key, handed it to me. I asked, do you not need to see my ID to prove I am the owner? I was told you need to sign a sheet and he went off to get it. Didn’t have it with him. And he never looked at my photograph ID!! I could have been anyone. Zero regard for security. Absolute amateurs and a burglars delight. I cannot stress this enough AVOID FOX & SONS AT ALL COSTS.

We sold our house through Fox & Sons Waterlooville. They were all very professional throughout, amazing service and really went above and beyond which helped make the stressful process, that bit easier. John Leach was our main point of contact and always provided an exceptional level of service. We also used their financial advisor: Chloe Spong. Who again, was very informative throughout the entire process. Cannot thank this wonderful team enough for all their hard work. Would highly recommend this company to anyone!

Would just like to thank our mortgage advisor Leah Stephens, absolutely amazing lady who helped my daughter get her first home. She always made sure to keep us informed of anything going on even if there was no change and we never felt like we didn't know what was going on at the time. We would absolutely 100% recommend her to anyone.

Awful mortgage advising service

Booked an appointment with one of their mortgage advisers, a lot of info i did not need to know that the company has x branches and have done x money on mortgages, just to be cancel on the second appointment. Got back to me after 4months saying he would help me that time, after a couple exchanges no more correspondence ive no idea whats going on. Meanwhile was contacted by another mortgage adviser she said to give her a change she’s different from her colleague. First appointment same things, second appointment a no show. Whats wrong with you people? Unbelievable. At least have the decency to cancel the appointment, i got out of work for the appointment waited 1h, even emailed and nothing.

Absolutely disgusted at the way this…

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. This is warning to anyone who is thinking of using Fox and Sons

Gosport Fox & Son - bad experience

Gosport. Pushy agents who will get a sale at any price including coming to your property without notice, walking through the grounds to the back door and scaring you to get you to accept a lower offer. I wish we hadn't been tricked into going with them as they offered success via a " boxing day" campaign and their "extensive" data based. Both yield nothing but low offers.

Leah S was as helpful ask can be asked for. As a first time buyer with very little idea of what the mortgage application process looked like, she had well informed me of what the stages where and what exactly I was paying for at each point. She had taken all of my personal circumstances into consideration and made it a smooth process from the very start. Highly recommend!

We have been so supported by Leah Stephens throughout our moving journey! She is incredibly helpful and no question was ever too small. She worked so hard to make our mortgage and insurances as affordable and personalised as possible, being flexible and understanding. We feel lucky to have her as a contact now for future mortgage and house questions! George and John have been excellent agents from the start of our not always so straight forward move chain! Through a chain collapse and then restart, they have been excellent communicators and always friendly faces! Thanks so much to them for pushing this move over the finishing line!

Our experience with Fox & Sons

Our experience with Fox & Sons, Scarlet E Hepburn, was outstanding. From start to finish, the service was professional and attentive. The staff member who assisted us was exceptionally kind and helpful. She negotiated with the landlord on our behalf and made sure all the facilities we requested were arranged promptly and without issue. Her guidance made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Overall, we are very satisfied with the service and glad we chose Fox & Sons. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy estate agency.

The internal communication between the team within this branch is something which needs improving. Messages were not passed on on more than one occasion and feedback following a visit was not passed on. Certainly, Mandy holds the branch ship shape and John L worked hard to keep us informed during what was a particularly drawn out completion period. Our thanks go to them both for their patience and persistence. Jack & Mark

No show viewing

Viewing booked and confirmed by George, but no one turned up. I had to call repeatedly to get an answer, only to be told a manager had “tried to contact me to cancel”, which is untrue as I had no missed calls or messages. I was promised a call to rearrange the viewing for the following week and never heard anything. Called again and was assured someone would call me shortly. Two weeks later, nothing. I’ve since submitted a formal complaint and haven’t even received an acknowledgement. Wasted my time attending a viewing that was never going ahead, followed by more time chasing. Poor organisation and even worse communication.

Highly recommend Fox & Sons! Excellent service from the very beginning to very end! John in particular made things run as smoothly as possible and made sure everything was lining up for both me and my buyer. Thank you to Aaron also for getting everything started and making it easy to pick Fox & Sons to sell my property!

Harassment!

Stupidly agreed to a free valuation with no pressure however after deciding we wouldn’t be selling for a while and telling them that, I’ve had call after call from both the Crawley office and another local office. I emailed them to ask that my details be removed from their systems which was acknowledged however the calls continued. I answered one of the calls and again explained I’m not moving and to remove me from their list. They apologised and said they would update their records…..still calls! I got a call yesterday again asking if I wanted an updated valuation. I declined. Yet I’ve been called again today. I will be blocking them if I get called again as it’s bordering harassment now. It’s actually off putting and now, even if I did decide to put my house on the market, it wouldn’t be with fox and sons.

disinterested 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.

Fox 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…

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.

Leah gave me the best service! My last mortgage broker disappointed me, but Leah came to my rescue. She worked quickly and, despite the challenges, she managed to find me a fantastic deal that saved me a lot of money. She was dedicated to my case, working constantly, even on her days off. I truly recommend her professional skills in this area. Thank you, Leah!

Not received my deposit back

Little to no communication, gave more than 3 months notice to be told they would be in touch and heard nothing more. My son vacated the property and a month later has not received my deposit or heard anything. They are not answering the phones or responding to emails. Awful customer service.

Unprofessional 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.
