If I could give zero stars I would. Do not work with foxtons.

The lack of professional integrity and level of disorganisation at this company is astonishing.

Foxtons rented out a flat to me with a boiler that was located inside the bath/shower, as well as black mould in the bathroom and faulty fire alarms. As I am a newcomer to the UK, I was concerned but Foxtons assured me this was all safe.

However, the gas safety regulatory authority, the local council, and even the boiler manufacturer each told me this was a serious electrical hazard. The gas safety regulatory authority urged me not to use the bath/shower until the boiler was moved (this was a one bedroom flat). I ended up having to find another flat that was safe to live in, but Foxtons put the unsafe flat back onto the market immediately without any changes to the boiler - I hope the new tenants are safe.

Foxtons will also tell you to always raise your offer but that is because they will make more in commission.

Even though this is a small office, this office is incapable of scheduling their own viewings and appointments, resulting in double bookings and no-shows.

I worked with Foxtons Sloane Square, specifically Chris Fowles-O’Brien, who repeatedly failed to keep appointments and demonstrated little interest in my safety as a tenant once I raised my concerns.

I am relieved to say I will never work with Foxtons again.
