Fox And-sons Anmeldelser 

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

AVOID!!!!!

The mortgage broker asked us to pay a one-time fee of £599 for the lifetime membership fee to enjoy LIFE TIME mortgage advice service.

The first offer failed, so we asked for mortgage advice for another house, and they asked us to pay £99 again for mortgage service. They have told us that £599 is a life-time service. It is cheating.

We had Luke from Fox and sons in Hastings round to value our property and at the time he was very nice and knowledgeable. We had in total three agents round who all valued the property about the same. After this we had some conversations with all agents and decided not to go with Fox and sons as after speaking with people knew they advanced us of their very unpleasant experience with them.we Emailed Luke at Fox and Sons to say thank you for your time but we have decided to go another route , below is a copy of the response we got back from him.Notice all the exclamation marks and how he tries to make us feel guilty about going elsewhere !
“ Good Morning,

What’s the reason for going with another route?

I have worked so hard to have given you the best fee anyone has ever had from a fox and sons even better than what my own sister was able to get!! To do this I had to have a long meeting about it with my area manager to get approved! We have the biggest reach in the town due to our offices across the UK and have the best client care set up in the town.



I know you had two other agents out one is yet to sell a house over £375,000 this year so I wouldn’t go with them!!

I keep getting clients of the other agent you had who claim to be the best in the town, calling me up to take the property on as they haven’t heard from them and been made to do viewings themselves!! They claim they are too busy this is due to them having to many properties to manage this can be seen as they are known for having the highest fall through rate as well.



The route you have decide to take I hope works well for you but if you need my services in future once being on with another agent I won’t be able to get the fee lowered again. This is a shame as you had mentioned you would use us if we could do £6,500 including vat and I actually managed to get it to £6,000 including vat.

The mortgage advisor, Rhodri, at the Fox & Sons Bitterne branch is fantastic. Extremely professional, knowledgeable and highly competent.

Would recommend Rhodri without slightest hesitation.

So far, I have only had a valuation of my property from Fox & Sons (needed by HMRC), so I can't review their full service, but I was impressed by Luke's personal interest in my situation, and his professional attitude. I shall certainly consider putting the house in the hands of Fox & Sons when (if) I come to sell.

Good experience! Whenever I rang through to the office, the people who answered the phone were very friendly and professional.

Zoran at the Fox and sons Taunton branch was also incredibly helpful throughout every step of the process! Despite probably being very busy, He always kept in contact with me and provided updates along the way, and always responded quickly. He was very patient and answered all of my questions(!) and was so reassuring throughout the whole process.

Now me and my family we are able to move to our beautiful new home

Thank you Zoran

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

Bad customer service. I had to call them for updates because they never call back. Those two ladies dealing with rental properties are the most confused lot I’ve ever had to deal with.

I had 3 other estate agents to look at my dads house after he passed the other agents weren't friendly where as Sam from the Lewes branch was really nice friendly and honest so i went to him although he didn't always get back to me when he said he would he still got back and kept me up-to-date all the other staff from the Lewes branch were lovely and very helpful im looking to buy my house and eventually move and without a doubt ill be going to Sam at the Lewes branch
Thank you Sam for all ur help and support and advice

I used Fox and Sons as mortgage brokers twice now and the have been brilliant both times!

Jack Johnson explained every step of the process really clearly and found us good rates. He was pro-active and patient the whole way! I would massively recommend him.

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.

View property was very quick to ask for deposit was meant to move in Friday nothing no communication then meant to move it Monday still nothing said references not come back they ask for paperwork several times still not had nothing back I will be homeless in the morning with a special needs child it’s disgusting no communication at all

Fantastic service from all at the Polegate branch.
Helped me through a difficult purchase.
Reassured by the professionalism of the team and responses to my calls.
Simon followed up on my queries, got back to me when he said he would and supported me throughout the process. I would definitely recommend..

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

I have been working with Danny over the past few months to secure a shared ownership scheme. Getting a mortgage is one of the biggest purchases in life and is known to be a very stressful process. Danny has been very transparent and supportive throughout the whole process. Brilliant communication from him and all other members of the branch when needed. Thank you!!

I have been using the services of Fox and sons for a short time and find the staff to be very friendly and helpful.
Sometimes it is hard to get hold of someone as it is a small team but always get back to me eventually.

Big thanks to Kate and Tom who promptly found us tenants for our property. Everything went smoothly from start to finish. Many thanks

I can’t recommend fox and sons Eastbourne highly enough.
The Manager Stephen was excellent when it came to the sale of our property in Percival Road.
We had three agents out to value our home and we felt fox and sons had our best interest’s at heart and we were proved right.
He understood our current financial situation and helped us find a great buyer but also find our new home in Arundel
Road.
Thankyou so much for everything.
Pauline and Richard

Big thanks to Dan and his team in Weymouth who made our purchase happen before xmas. Tireless effort from Dan to keep the whole chain going. Well done.

Purchase went OK-ish although took nearly 7 months for a simple case. They found tenants quick enough, and took their deposit. Getting this custodial deposit transferred to my TDS account a nightmare, 15 work days after advising them of details needed for the transfer (and 34days after taking the deposit), their "accounts team" demand the same TDS information and tenant/property address information they already have. 18 days later I'm still trying to get this done (Portsmouth). Finally Fox & sons have apologised, and admitted their staff needed further training. They eventually provided details of the secure placement of the tenants deposit, and have given a £100 compensation. This is of course scant compensation for the hours of work caused to me, the anxiety I've suffered, and ineptitude shown by their staff
