Foxtons Reviews

Ok - here is a review that I never thought that I would write - one praising those money grabbing, ruthless estate agents in London and the South East - Foxton (cue pantomime boos) Location Foxtons have offices all over London and the South East - they also have a great website where you can register to look for rental or to buy a ...  Read the complete review

Despite having heard awful things about Foxtons, I found a really nice flat through the Richmond office and decided to take the risk! REALLY wish I hadnt! The customer service was amazing right up until we actually handed over any money! The office is very flash and we were given bottles of coke when we were there. When we had agreed the let and ...  Read the complete review

This review will probably not endear me with the people who thoroughly hate Foxtons, but I figure I'll share my experience with them anyway. Note that I only used their services as a buyer, not as someone looking to rent, so this is an entirely different department. From what I gather, Foxtons properties tend to come on ...  Read the complete review

Yes, they only care about money they want and nothing else.
If you have a problem with the properties, you will never find any one to solve it, however, if they think you own them one pound, they will disrupt your live like hell.
No service at all, except the point they are gathering your money.

Firstly let me give you a tiny bit of background about myself. I work for a small property investment company who contracts out a lot of work to estate agents so I have a fair bit of background knowledge as what you can/should expect from an estate agent. This review is totally in the capacity of my experience as a perspective tenant looking for a ...  Read the complete review

Hi all, We got in touch with Foxtons to let them know we had bought a new set of table and chairs (worth 700 pounds) and asked if the landlord was able to pick up the previous table and chairs (cheap looking). We've never let anyone enter our property without us being here before (we have had to organise contractors to come ...  Read the complete review

I have written this post in hope that it will be informative to the other people; I am certain some people have more-than-satisfactory experience with Foxtons, and this incident alone cannot condemn the entire organisation. But this is what happened to my sister. My sister works for an overseas firm as a "sourcer"; she sources ...  Read the complete review

Dont ever rent or sell through Foxtons - the offices look slick with free soft drinks and trends sofas, the staff are impeccably trained, charming and persistent, and their properties are well photographed and very very cheap. Dont be fooled though - they charge a LOT, admin, settling, sign-up, inventory, you name it you pay for it (and over ...  Read the complete review

We've just rented a flat in London, and having been looking for a while, I'm glad to find somewhere to write about my experiences with Foxtons, as letting agents. They are truly the masters of spin - the training must be rigorous, and the whole brand is very seductive. It's so easy to walk into a shiny, clean branch, be sat down and ...  Read the complete review

I started looking for a property to buy through Foxtons. I chose them as they had a good website. From the moment I met them things went downhill. 1) I made the mistake of meeting with Alexander Hall (their finance guys). They immediately told the agent what I could afford if I borrowed to the hilt. 2) The agent showed me ...  Read the complete review

terrible service. they were very quick on the mark to try to convince me to switch estate agent. then once i had done that, not a phonecall to let me know how the sale or let of my property was going. they NEVER returned any of my calls and they were very rude with my current tenants when they turned up unannounced for a viewing. i am very unhappy ...  Read the complete review

As an agent in the hampstead area, Foxtons have no idea about anything, I'm not threatened by them, infact they make my life easier as people come to me and complain that they are useless. dont need to be a brain surgeon to work that out!!! One thing I do is listen to what buyers want and show them what they are looking for. Foxtons kidnap you and force you to see things just to show the manager they do viewings. I'm sorry, but showing 101 people round with no sign of offer in mind is not in the owners interest but only for the 'i have no brain or life' agent.
If you really want service and someone that listens, come and have a chat with me, a human. i'm @ salter rex in hampstead. Henal

Do not ever entertain either renting or letting your property through Foxtons. Our tenants were introduced through another agent. They subsequently went to Foxtons, but ended up letting through the first agent as Foxtons tried to charge extorionate fees. Foxtons are now trying to get £11k of commission out of us - even though they did not introduce the property nor was any offer accepted through them! This is all about winning for them, meanwhile the personal touch only comes out if they are trying to get your custom..when things don't go their way they threaten and bully - keep away! They clearly have not clocked that this is the worst possible advert for them but the bottom line in that they probably don't care. So a big warning: landlords and tenants steer clear. Friends that let their house while overseas have had a similar experience.

Dont rent from them-they will call you 10 times a day before you sign the lease but it took over a month for them to get someone out to look at the leaking faucets!
Watch out for phony bidding wars with other "tenants"-I walked away once this started and then they called back to let me know that the other parties had "lost interest". take the extra time to do your homework.

good luck

Useless website! no information atall! would have rather of used Tesco Property Market than Foxtons

Foxton's Notting Hill are just extortionists. They lied at the start of my tenancy to both myself & landlord. took 300 quid for a reference/emplyment/credit check that wasnt done (fraudulent i think). A the end they threatened fees that didnt exist until they put the place up to be relet and i made it known if they were going to try to screw ...  Read the complete review

Problems using Foxtons to manage our home while we were travelling: 1) Lied about sending us regular statements by e-mail (first said they could, then said they wouldn't) 2) Exorbitant fees for doing next to nothing 3) Lost all our keys and vehemently denied responsibility 4) Staff incompetent at dealing with angry, ...  Read the complete review

I passionately hate Foxtons and foresee no future for the lying stealing bas**ds. I will go out of my way to destroy their false facade and make people think twice about ever stepping in to their flash cafe style offices.
Estate agents are generally wa**ers but Foxtons take the cake absolutely.
Tell your friends, tell your granny, spread the word...
Foxtons are history.

Foxtons have registered at companies house as a Basic Non-Limited company which means that they don't have to file accounts and reports to companies house. This means that the company is probably trying to hide something? A friend of mine rented a flat through foxtons, the people moved in and then failed to pay the rent for almost a year. We ...  Read the complete review
