Our agent was brilliant. She guided us from the beginning and updated us on the whereabouts of the processes in renting the property. She even worked beyond her hours to patch things for us. She was amazing and all of her colleagues, as well. Happy ...

We have certainly had a very good experience with Fox & Sons on the purchase of our flat. Our sale fell through with another agent and Fox & Sons, with Gemma overlooking our case, have saved us and kept us in our upward chain. Communication has always ...

I would like to confirm how happy I am with the level of professionalism shown by staff of this agency, in particular, Abby Brookes, Abbey Fidgeon, and Katie Baker.
I am now onto my second Let with them and everything has been handled very smoothly....

Top marks go to Syreeta Alexis who is friendly, efficient and quite simply gets the job done! She instinctively knows the best way to resolve an issue for the Landlord and Tenant. This is one of the reasons for staying with this agency!...

Except I dealt with was Lee. After he got our signature on the contract and the advert went on live, never got a single call back from him. Emma was another unhelpful and after all the grief they cause us, she comes with the news that we can't try to sell the flat with another agent. I'm not the one to take time and write reviews, but I absolutely DO NOT RECOMMEND FOX & SONS-and I want to make it clear at this point I would even pay to be free from them, that's how bad I feel about them. ...

F&S Portsmouth,North end.
A waste of space and a big insult to the Company name!! I bought a flat and got them to let it out.The sales team did their level best but the Lettings team let me down from the start of letting till the grotesque end!
Poor communication.Lack of updates,too stuck up.They do not attend to landlord's concerns.Liars and time wasters and They need to close down urgently or change their attitudes and value their job and respect other peolpe. ...

Too big for their boots and never follow anything up for landlords who pay for the services!! You never get any update for anything ,no matter how big the problem is until you phone them or attend personally and you get the twitching and rolling eyes signalling annoyance.
Useless bunch of good for nothing lettings and property management team! I wonder if they would treat customers any differently if this was a family run business than when it was a prvt company? ...
