TrustpilotThey were the worse letting agency
They were the worse letting agency that I have worked with, they don't report things from tenant to landlord and vice versa, they are just on the landlord side and not as a in between person to mediate, they don't do their work properly, are very unprofessional, avoid at all costs to work with this people, there are loads of letting agents to work with(Reviewed) One day after I posted this review, Fox & Sons decided to leave a review on google as I'm a tradesman and guess what, they rated me 1 star without having any contact with me in my area, just so you can see how unscrupulous and vengeful this people are, avoid! avoid! avoid! still haven't received my deposit after almost 2 months I left the house I rented through them

TrustpilotI made the mistake of going with Fox and Sons, Bexhill
I made the mistake of going with Fox and Sons in May, and they turned out to be terrible. I dumped them and went with another estate agent. That would have been the end of it, and I wouldn't have left a bad review but... I specifically asked for them to remove my details from their system, and not receive any marketing. Low and behold, I started receiving marketing calls today. So, here's my review of them; Terrible photos, and I had to take my own high def' ones in the end, and even those, they managed to pixelate and screw up when they put them on the web. Even though I showed them round, they kept sending agents to viewings who hadn't been here before, and had no idea where anything was (a large sprawling property). They push all their own financial services and conveyancers, who are rubbish, and have numerous bad reviews on the internet. I had no idea who was in charge, or who I was dealing with from week to week, and they lied about their database of potential buyers. In any case, if I receive any more marketing calls from them I am reporting them to the police for harassment. Don't use them.

TrustpilotPersistant phone calls
My complaint is directed at the Hastings branch after repeated requests to be taken off there phone list I still receive calls and after reading other reviews this is not an isolated case to this branch. Also I've had there number blocked for over a year. Rest assured if I ever put my property on the market I most definitely won't be using Fox and Sons.

TrustpilotNo respect for GDPR
I made the mistake of calling to view a house with fox and sons. I then decided not to go ahead and have not stopped receiving calls or emails since. I have repeatedly asked to be taken off their contact lists and for them to delete my data from their records but to no avail

TrustpilotTotton Branch - Wonderful Service
Totton Branch. Absolutely fantastic service selling my property, from 1st communication through to completion. Keiran, Bradley and Becky kept me informed at every stage and couldn't be more helpful. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone selling a property in the area. Thank you to all of you, making this experience so easy.

TrustpilotGDPR data breach
My property is for sale with another estate agent. Fox and Sons have my details as they were one of the agents I invited to make a valuation. I didn't mind them phoning a few months later asking if I would reconsider and use them. I politely declined and told them I would contact them if interested and under GDPR regulations remove my data from their records. They promised to do this but have phoned again. Is this a GDPR data breach? Probably..Will I use them after this latest call? No. Will I be rude and make a complaint about a data breach if they call again? Certainly. Pushy

Trustpilotif you are a buyer avoid them
Appalling service. I had an offer accepted on an apartment in early August and as of Sept 10 had still not heard from them. Phone calls and emails go unanswered. when I finally got one of them on the phone his reaction was the immortal words - well if you need to pull out then do that. If you are a buyer avoid them like the plague

TrustpilotThe Lords
Our overall experience was very positive, all members of staff were friendly & informative. It was always good to get feedback & on several occasions to chat to the viewers as they arrived to advise them on local amenities. We would recommend Fox & Sons Wintonfor advising us from the beginning to the end of the sale of our property. A special mention for Tom, for his professionalism.

TrustpilotGross practices
Avoid at All Costs, Toxic Work Environment and Unethical PracticesToby Jones the "manager" is creating huge conflict of interest, although he is married, he is having an affair with Danielle Lakin, one of the mortgage brokers. This is the least of fox and sons worries but shows the type of person they have in their midst. Avoid all. Worst company in Hastings. Scum!

Applied for an MIP with local firm thinking would get a more personal service. Tried back in early July and no response for a few days so decided service was not great! Wanted a responsive service. Then decided would have another go and sent salary slips as requested to the broker 19th July. No response at all to date! Now going to go to an online national service.

TrustpilotA brilliant service and superb staff
A brilliant service and superb staff. Was selling my elderly mothers house and they went above and beyond making each step easy and helping my mum understand what was happening. Best estate agent I have ever dealt with. Wish they were all this good! Special thanks to Perry and Harry.

TrustpilotUnethical, Dishonesty and Unprofessional(Hastings Branch)
Unethical , dishonesty and unprofessional (Hastings Branch).Had an offer accepted in February 2023 with Hastings Branch. Toby Jones(Manager) was dealing with the case. For the last 6 months we have been told that the( lease holder management company) were unable to release a lease pack because there was an outstanding debt. Since then, there's been a series of excuses with the property. Miraculously, the lease pack was released soon after our second valuation which was completed on the 24/08/23. Following the 2nd valuation Toby contacted me and informed me that some else has now made a higher offer despite the property being off market according to the offer letter. In this process we lost money for legal fees ,2 sets of valuations and time. I would not recommend the Estate agency .

TrustpilotWorked above and beyond to enable us to sell our house
We tried to sell our property a couple of years ago with Fox and Sons, but then we had to postpone the sale so it was disappointing for us all. Tom from Fox and Sons in Crawley then decided to make it his life's work to sell our property 🤣 he went above and beyond to get the right buyer for us and finally it has happened so we can't thank him and his team enough. Tom never gives up and thats amazing. Abi, who is the Senior Branch Administrator at Crawley then went into archives to find previous reports which we desperately needed for the solicitors. Nothing was too much trouble for her and they still had them which was amazing. The new manager there Rebecca, has turned this company around and I couldn't recommend them more. Big pat on the back for you all 👏👏

I have to say how helpful the staff were at the Bognor Branch of Fox & Sons. They could not have been more helpful.They went out of their way to make sure my mum's sale went well, and she had tricky buyers to say the least, but all the staff were exceptional. They keep me updated with the progress and helped out with all the negotiation between all parties involved.My mum was getting very stressed with everything and they all helped to ease the pressure and situation.So I want to say on behalf of my mum and myself a BIG THANK YOU.

TrustpilotCrawley branch
Crawley branchDo not go near this agency with a barge pole! From the outset promised a open day with a list of 500 people they would be phoning who would be interested (no open day happened) to over valuing and writing the contract that no matter what I sold the house at I would still pay the fee on the value they had put on it initially which was wildly over valued. Total scam and nothing but lies. The office is useless, they do not communicate at all and they have no professionalism at all. A total shambles and scam, worst mistake I’ve made choosing these cowboys to sell my house! USELESS!!

TrustpilotSale of my property
Today i completed on the sale of my property selling through Fox and Sons Crawley branch. I would like to thank all the staff at the branch for their support through the process and helping me to secure the sale within weeks of the property going on the Market. Abigail have been amazing keeping me informed and answering all of my questions i would definitely recommend Fox and Sons Crawley for selling your property.

TrustpilotDO NOT USE
DO NOT USEI rent out a property via fox and sons and the service they have provided to me as a landlord has been terrible. They work on behalf of tenants rather than the landlord and I have had a number of issues.BEWARE of their 6 months notice period which is hidden within their terms of business and not clearly explained at the outset. So even if you raise issues and want to swap to another agency you’re stuck with them for 6 months.I’d highly suggest using another agency landlords!!
