Jack was very friendly and professional throughout. He was capable and willing to answer a lot of our questions not just related to the mortgage, but the general process around purchasing a house which was a great help. Id definitely be comfortable to recommend him and use him personally in the future.

I used Fox & Sons for the sale of my flat after an awful experience with Purple Bricks. Darren, Keira and Jasmine were fantastic throughout the whole process. They were alway contactable and reassuring during an extremely stressful period with mortgage rates skyrocketing. Thank you team for all your help!

I had my property on sale with Fox & Sons Hove branch for no less than 3 years. Admittedly it probably was a niche house to sell as it had seven bedrooms. However, there were a whole series of problems that didn't help the sale. Firstly, I think the initial valuation by them was probably too high, but they may have done this so that they secured the business. Secondly the marketing was very poor. I had to rewrite the initial introduction on the sales document as it was so poor. The photographs taken did not do the house justice as was remarked on by several viewers. Then the best of the photographs that were taken were excluded from the sales document and it took them a long time to retrieve these. Thirdly, I felt the manager tried to bully me into actions I didn't want to take, and I had at least two flaming rows with him. To be fair they did do some good things like help to get me a roofer quickly when a tree blew down in my garden and the manager did put more effort into selling it when he latterly came on board. If things had stayed there I may have been tempted to give two stars. However, the thing that I have really given the one star for is what happened when a buyer was finally found. I had really semi taken the property off the market after three years with no sale, but allowed someone to come and see it and they made an offer. However, in three years you can imagine the price of houses had gone up a lot and my asking price hadn't. I initially accepted the offer but on looking at other houses, my house seemed very under priced. The manager at Fox Sons told me that these were just asking prices and the price i got was good. However, I did not trust this answer and got three more agents to value the house. Two said I should get 200,000 more and the third much more. The manager of Fox & Sons had anticipated this would be the case, as I think he knew how under priced my house was and had already asked the buyers what they could go to. The buyers could go to another 100,000, which I accepted as I was sick of the whole business after three years. However, the overall impression I have was that Fox & Sons are not professional and that they really didn't care that the price of my house was way too low as long as they got a sale; i.e. I felt they were not acting in my best interest but theirs. I wil never use them again and suggest you don't.
