I am afraid that I have to agree with many of the other comments on this website - I only wish I had found it earlier. Do not use this agent. Vendors beware! They charge a fixed fee (rather than a percentage of the sale ...

Unfortunately they conform to the stereotypical estate agent as being untrustworthy and will say anything to get a sale. I offered the full asking price for a flat which the agent previously said hadn't received much interest. Suddenly someone else also apparently offers the full ...

The category says 'sold'. Well it never came to that. The negotiators let people in to view the property without pointing out any of the details. In other words they were nothing more than door openers! After 3 months still no floor plans appeared. Why would ...

When I was a vendor it was really important to me that buyers properly checked out i.e there chain and financial position I don't understant why you wouldn't go in to do that after all a house purchase is one of the biggest decsions you will ever make. It sounds to me that the agent is doing there job. I used Fox & Sons to sell a property for me and they explained as part of there service they will properly check all potential buyers that make an offer on my home. ...

In my experience Fox and Sons have no concept of the tenant's point of view. Unhelpful, unresponsive staff - including the manager. Absolutely no ethics whatsoever. No courtesy. Virtually no service/customer care. Employees seem to be overworked, understaffed and undertrained, doing less than the ...
