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. When I explained my frustrations, they were far from understanding and got defensive. I will not be using this estate agent nor recommending it to anyone.

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.

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.

My husband and I recently purchased our first house through Fox and Sons. As we are first time buyers we were unsure what to expect. From our first meeting we were put at ease and very impressed with the whole process. Gareth, our mortgage broker, helped us navigate through the mortgage process and managed to secure us an excellent mortgage for our circumstances. He was always available to help with our queries, response were always quick and what we thought would be a stressful process was made very simple and easy. I would highly recommend the mortgage services at Fox and Sons to anyone. During our purchase we were helped by Zoe. Zoe was always available to help with our many queries and concerns, and worked above and beyond to escalate our exchange so that we could complete on our chosen date. She always answered our queries quickly and with kindness. We will forever be grateful to Zoe for her kindness and support during the process. We highly recommend Fox and Sons services for house purchasing & mortgages. The entire process was very quick, easy and stress reduced due to the fantastic team who work very hard. Should we ever move we will absolutely sell with Fox & Sons. Thank you again for everything.

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.

I just wanted to say a big thank you to the team at Fox & Sons Haywards Heath for the amazing service I received during the purchase of my first home. After things didn’t work out with a different agency, your team managed to get everything sorted and completed in around five months, and the whole process felt really smooth and straightforward. I was so impressed with how professional, efficient, and supportive everyone was throughout. It honestly made what can be a really stressful experience so much easier. Thanks again for all your hard work, I really appreciate it. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for a reliable and helpful estate agent.

We were previously with another agent in Haywards Heath and it took around 6 months to get just one offer that fell through. After switching to Fox & Sons, we sold within a couple of weeks and for more than what we previously sold for. The team, especially Zoe, Ben and Byron were really helpful, professional and mindful of our circumstances. Thank you!

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

As a buyer, Zoe at Fox and Sons kept me well informed, was knowledgeable, easy to contact, and returned my calls and enquiries quickly. Really reassuring during what is, I imagine, always a complex and stressful process. Many thanks.

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.

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!

We had an excellent experience working with Fox and Sons during our home-buying journey. The entire team was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. From our first inquiry to the final closing, they made sure everything went smoothly and efficiently. What stood out most was their clear communication, attention to detail, and genuine care for our needs. Every step was handled with transparency and professionalism, making us feel confident and well-informed at all times. We’re truly grateful for their help in finding our new home and would highly recommend Fox and Sons to anyone looking to buy property. Their dedication and teamwork made all the difference.

From my initial meeting with Gareth I had strong confidence in F&S services. Zoe was really efficient and communicated well. Byron was always very professional from my first visit to the property. There was a small proud that an update on the process would have been appreciated but overall my experience was very positive.

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.

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!
