GoogleJosh made my experience quick and easy with Fox & Sons. He provided a lot of knowledge on the property and was helpful in pointing out key features and answering any questions i had. In addition to this, he was friendly and made me feel comfortable throughout the viewing. Great estate agent!

GoogleAlice was quick to update us throughout the rental process and listened to what we would ideally be looking for in our potential tenants. Her "go to" attitude and professionalism have made us move the rest of our rentals with them. Having worked with other rental agencies in the area we would definitely recommend f&s, Southampton for all your landlord needs.

Trustpilotdisinterested 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.

GoogleFox and Sons have just sold a property for me. They were fantastic from start to finish. Professional throughout and dealt with everything that came up very smoothly. I would very much recommend Samantha and her team in the Southampton branch if anyone is thinking of selling a property.

TrustpilotNever 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.

TrustpilotUnprofessional 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.

TrustpilotExtremely 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

TrustpilotFox 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.

TrustpilotSimply 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.

GoogleI can't say this is my best experience with agent. Our property was managed by our landlord so we have no problem before moving out. However, we have moved out almost three months and still didn't have our deposit back till today. Our landlord has notified us it will be paid back in full the day when he received the keys, but SEQUENCE (their main company) couldn't release the money because the branch couldn't be reached and didn't let them know that we are moving out. We don't know whether could we receive our deposit before Christmas and we moved out on September.
