Fox & Sons Lewes reviews

★★★★★ 5/5

Google

Kieran & Navaz at Fox & Sons Lewes were very helpful & patient throughout. They managed to fit me in for 4 viewings of the property in a relatively short space of time, while keeping me informed of any new/relevant information along the way. Kieran also enabled the “making of the offer” stage go very smoothly. I believe he handled both parties with much care & consideration. Thanks very much & hope to see you both soon : )

Harassing me with phone calls when iv asked them to stop more than once

I asked fox and sons to come a do a valuation of my late father’s property. I have then been phoned 20times since asking if they can put the property on the market for me. I asked them politely to not phone me any more as it’s on the market with a different estate agent and to take my details of the system. They said they would I have since then received 5 other phone calls from them and each time been told they will take my of the the system. I have had three calls since and each time I have asked not to be phoned and they keep phoning me. It’s getting to the point of harassment now. I would stay clear. They clearly don’t listen to peoples wishes and feel it’s ok to continue to phone someone when they have been asked not to. If only they put the same amount of effort into selling a property ( they had my old house on the market two years and had about three people for viewings.

Terrible service, avoid!

Terrible service, would not recommend. Would give zero stars if I could! There was no feedback following viewings, zero communication or market updates, and I had to point out listing errors multiple times (including the lease length being incorrectly shown as zero years!). I only received a brief, non-committal apology. I’ve now withdrawn the property. I wish I’d gone with an independent originally, someone who actually cares.

Continuously hassled even after asking multiple times not to be

The estate agent that came to value my property needed more customer experience. He asked very intrusive questions, was rude about other estate agents valuations, was very pushy and I felt I had to be firm when I said I am only wanting a second opinion, not for them to market my property. I asked not to be contacted by them and I would be in touch if I needed their services. In the weeks following, the decision was made for me not to use them as I was contacted via telephone at least twice a week, pushing me to put it on the market with them when all I’d asked for is a valuation. When I asked multiple times to be taken off their contact list, the message clearly didn’t get through as I was contacted a further three times after this. No voicemails were left - just missed calls from an unknown number.

I would give 0 if I could

⁷I would give 0 if I could. Terrible experience with fox&sons London Road Brighton. We had our house advertised with them for bearly 6 months. We had 3 viewings & 10 cancellations, however, when you looked, they claimed we had 13 viewing. Our biggest mistake was to go with them. Totally unprofessional photos. We changed the agent and within a week we had 4 viewing & one offer!! Additionally, when we left this agent, they carried on advertising our house without our permission with a new price!! Dispute both written & verbal communications! Totally unprofessional. We should have read the reviews and avoided them at all cost!! So far we have had 2 offers and might have the final offer soon.

Lies, cover ups & misuse of my data!

My experience with Fox & Sons Peacehaven has been appalling, and I would not trust them with the purchase or sale of a property again.

Natasha is the worst

Natasha is the worst. She told us a bunch of false information when moving in (she said it comes with parking but didn’t and ended up costing us £10 per day extra) and she is super rude.

On 02nd November at 1322 hours Estate agent by name of HAMZA working at Lewes branch was completely DISHONEST. He clearly LIED to me on the phone about the manager being in the office and could not speak to me as he was on the phone to another customer. I found out minutes later that the manager was NOT in the office. He was in fact out on an appointment. To make matters worse HAMZA called my mobile minutes later but literally immediately terminated the call faking that the manager had in fact called me back on my request. I got this information from colleague of HAMZA female estate agent name of MAVAZ who clearly hadn't spoken to or been briefed of the lie by HAMZA. Honesty is absolutely NON-NEGOTIABLE. Do not trust this branch or definitely not estate agent named HAMZA. Once a liar always a liar in my book. Absolutely awful behaviour.

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.

Fantastic viewing with Jack from the Crawley branch

Had a viewing with Jack from the Crawley branch yesterday. He was absolutely fantastic! Jack greeted us with a warm and welcoming manner, gave us a little local knowledge before heading in to the property. He made myself and my partner feel completely at ease and built a great repour with us straight away adding his humour and great personality to the viewing. He was super informative about the property and could answer all of our questions, we didn't feel pressured at any point which of course made the experience much more enjoyable and exciting for us. Jack made us feel super comfortable and didn’t rush us with our viewing and was professional throughout. Thoroughly enjoyable experience looking for our first home. Great asset to the company, Thankyou Jack!

The brighton branch

The brighton branch, has taken 2 years to get my dad's flat sold after he died. Recommended to sale the flat at auction by Ray Murphy, that fell through after months of trying to get it sold,then went down the normal route. This all starts out fine ,in 2022,then had two more offer ,these were not satisfactory, finally had an offer in August 2024 which has taken 5 months of us chasing to get over the line. Alfie is the person not to take at his word as this was only what he thought we wanted to hear. Never use fox&sons. Sonia collins

Seamless 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!

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.

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.

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.

Can't speak highly enough about Kieran who showed us around a property. He had answers to all our questions and provided information we hadn't thought to ask - a level of professionalism that has been lacking in many other agents. The current market seems to be so fluid that agents either don't have the time, or see no value, in knowing the ins and outs of a place. As first time buyers this process is both new, exciting, and a bit terrifying! Kieran removed those barriers and allowed us to think clearly.

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.

Extremely 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

Fox 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.

Simply 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.

I have dealt with a few letting agents over the years and I must say, Fox And Sons rate very highly for me.The application process went very smoothly, with constant communication and updates throughout, particular kudos to Oskar who has been my main point of contact throughout,All that you ask for during a process like this is to be kept in the loop, something that Oskar and his team have managed very well.Thankyou
