We are so grateful to Fox & Sons for finding us a beautiful apartment at a great price. A special mention to Issy who made the whole process easy and stress free. Issy was kind, attentive and supportive throughout and made sure that the apartment was the right fit for us. She told us she was determined to continue searching until the perfect apartment was found. We really felt that she went the extra mile to make sure that all was in order and even expedited the process so that we didn't have to rent another accommodation in-between! I cannot recommend this agency enough!!!

AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE IF YOU WANT TO BE AN ETHICAL LANDLORD (or to be a happy tenant when you move out).
