TrustpilotExceptional service, Yushin was brilliant!
We received exceptional service from Fox & Sons. Our agent Yushin was brilliant. He found some really nice properties matching our criteria that we hadn’t noticed ourselves, and he booked us in to view them within a couple of days. He offered great service, info, and knowledge during the viewings and followed up quickly with answers to our questions afterwards.

TrustpilotLacking in customer service for neurodiversity
I've recently started looking for a property to buy. Being neurodivergent, I have requested all correspondence be via email from all letting agents, so i can orgabise and manage a very overwhelming process. Unfortunately, Fox and Sons (brighton) seemed to have an issue with this and even so I repeatedly requested email correspondence, I was told that 'phone calls would be easier for both of us'.

GoogleWorst Fox and Sons brunch in Southampton. Still waiting deposit to be returned for two months. Dispute has been raised with TDS and been past to next stage. Two weeks ago received email that deposit is being released and I have passed my bank details. Still haven’t received money and don’t get any response for emails. I have asked them if there is any damage to property could they send me receipts and send me rest of money.

GoogleRented a property via Fox and Sons and sadly would not recommend. There’s very little service provided and the communication is poor. I’ve been waiting for 2 weeks now on a response to an email. To arrange viewings was also a nightmare, we also politely asked for 24 hours notice due to working from home, the team just did their own thing anyway, booking in viewings with little notice to show new tenants round the house. Gave it two stars as one of the girls was actually polite and helpful, but same can’t be said for the other agents.

She also pointed out and took me to visit nearby similar properties for comparison and other options. Very helpful and thank you!

TrustpilotCrawley Branch - Zero Customer Service!
Used Fox & Sons Crawley multiple times to rent one of our properties. They sent us a bill for lettings shortly after a new Tennent arrived which was incorrect and we naturally requested an accurate invoice. Silence for several weeks until we got a letter from a debt collector!! Wowser! We then spent time chasing unanswered calls and emails. The answer from the lettings team at Fox & Son Crawley was "it's nothing to do with us". Clearly it was everything to do with the Crawley branch as they can not do simple addition. No response from branch manager either - as expected. Would not recommend and will avoid in future!!

TrustpilotDid the Solicitors work for them!
4 months to move into an empty, chain-free property seems pretty fascicle but it wouldve been a hell of a lot longer had it not been for Curtis and his colleagues at Fox and Sons, Hastings. I had 6 months to port my mortgage or it wouldve doubled and my property wouldve been unaffordable. It was two certificates holding back the sell. My solicitors were hopeless, the sellers solicitors were just as bad but thankfully Curtis said if this isnt sorted within 24 hours Max is pulling out. 12 minutes later the certificates would be there in the morning and 12 hours later we were good to go. I get they want their cut, but I hear so many stories about estate agents taking their eye off the ball, and the buyer left chasing, thankfully that wasnt the case with Fox and Sons. I had to pay my solicitors £2,500, shouldve given it to these guys! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Tried to underhandedly go behind my agents back to the client telling them we are bad buyers and he should sell through them even though our offer had been accepted and put a for sale board up over our sold sign .. really really bad business practice

TrustpilotQuite poor
As a letting agent they were rather greedy in keeping back much of the deposit
As estate agents they weren't particularly on the ball and advertising properties as available after they had gone off the market

GoogleI'm deeply DISAPPOINTED with my experience at this agency and compelled to share my story. Despite my initial optimism, I'm currently facing the possibility of LOSING over £9000, encompassing my deposit and the remaining rental fee, which remains unpaid two months after my tenancy's conclusion. My advice? Think twice before choosing this agency.
Our journey to rent an apartment was fraught with challenges, including daily visits due to constantly rescheduled viewings. Eventually, my friend and I managed to secure a lease for one year, with a six-month break clause, paying the full year's rent upfront.
Upon moving in, we were greeted by an apartment in disarray, complete with remnants from previous tenants and two DIRTY sofas. When we requested a cleanup, the agency insisted that it was our responsibility, as we hadn't specified the need for one in our contract. (Fine, it was my fault to did not list it in the contract.)
The maintenance team proved to be purely for show. Immediate issues, such as non-functional light, closet doors that wouldn't close, were dismissed as my responsibility and persistently IGNORED despite numerous requests for assistance. Attempts to reach out to the maintenance team and my property manager were met with SILENCE, no callbacks, or any form of response.
The agency's lack of communication and accountability has been profoundly frustrating. In dire need of my deposit and rental fee, I've called multiple times only to be met with excuses for my property manager's absence, ranging from lunch breaks to illnesses. It's almost inconceivable.
This experience serves as a stark reminder to carefully evaluate your options before committing to this agency.

TrustpilotBest experience I’ve ever had!!!
Was the best experience I’ve ever had with an estate agents, Chris there mortgage advisor was incredible he went above and beyond what we could have ever expected and even after we’d payed for his services he was still pulling late days just to help us get everything we needed ready wether it was mortgage related or not he even worked as hard as possible to get us out mortgage rate fixed before they sky rocketed we could not be more grateful even after we had closed and everything was sorted he still helped us with our life insurance as there was a mistake we made while filling it out, Joanne was also a massive help even though we didn’t buy our house through then in the end she would always get right in touch with us as soon as she found a house she thought we’d like and even pulled an extra day or 2 so we could view the houses due to our busy schedules when the time comes to sell we will definitely be going to her
