This Company is only interested in people taking out mortgages with them, be warned if you do not use the in house mortgage advisor you will loose the property, and be warned when you are ask for you bank details, she will be taken money out of your account, for her services, which was never explained to me, until I was leaving the branch, all I was told is you've paid of this much today, and it is non refundable.
Really not happy with them, told them twice that no savings was in this account, just the money I live off.
Also the buyers incentive don't be fooled, its just a rip off, there, There conveyance company will also rip you off.

Used the Bitterne branch for selling my property. They were lying from the start. Did not return calls. When called 3rd time in day - the receptionist answer was always that agent just went out and will call me later. It took three days to ...

Despite some previous comments, I had no problems at all with F&S. After a very poor performance by the agent I chose originally, F&S took over the sale and ran it in a perfectly acceptable way. I live a long way off, so ...

Appalling service, if selling. Never return calls, never give feedback from viewings. Then try to claim more money from your sale!...

I used F&S to let a property. The good parts first: they found a tenant quickly, willing to pay the asking price.
Now the rest:
They lie. Constantly. To landlord and tenants. It's not the odd little white lie here and there, it's constant. ...

I found the whole experience dealing with this company an absolute nightmare. They don't seem to care at all about tenants, and they are disorganized and bias and favorable towards landlords. I understand that Southampton is a landlords paradise but that shouldn't mean that tenants ...

Awful estate agent. They constantly lie and in a very blatant manner. The lie about tiny things that don't even need to be lied about, but they also lie about big things too. I hope people read this and avoid the estate agents because they ...

I'm not happy with the fees. Paid over ‚£3000 to be lied to and treated like rubbish. I can't believe that they manage to stay in business. They're truly despicable people.

We had a valuation with Fox and Sons in September 2013 and they assured us they could sell our property by the end of the year. In the 4 or so months we were on the market with them, not one viewer walked through the door. The ...

Rang to arrange a viewing for a property they have had advertised on right move, the agent was only interested in getting me into the branch for a mortgage quote even though I advised on several occasions my mortgage is sorted.
After me having to ...

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 ...

The worst estate agent I have ever used. They have lied from the outset and have been completely incompetent throughout. I have asked for regular updates on my property, but in two months have received ONE phone call from them. They put up a 'For ...
