Stress free from Start to finish. Great Old fashioned Human service from a great team. Anyone that I spoke to was up to speed and very efficient in supporting this sale. They put the time in and cannot think of a single problem. Very much recommended.... Read more

Communication- poor Expertise- poor We’ve had more communication and a much better service from our seller’s solicitor- GTH- so I would recommend going with them instead. If your property is on the lower end price-wise, very little effort will be put in. Leon is great as a salesman but when it comes to the important stuff is not helpful unfortunately. Our property should not have been allowed to be put up for sale and so we lost 7 months due to their error. It would have been even longer without GTH’s valuable input. Bethanie, the manager, denied their wrongdoing for days, dodged our calls and emails until finally she held her hands up. We will be taking them to court. We understand issues arise, but they are not good at handling these and don’t have the knowledge, expertise or patience to help when things go wrong.... Read more

1 star is one too many for fox and sons. I would avoid, I'm sure there are much better estate agents out there. They don't know what they are doing and they are bad at communicating, meaning you will have to chase them, don't care about looming timescales and also there is just no passion at all. I'm sure if you are paying them a massive commission they will do something for you but if your house is more affordable for first time buyers and sellers like us then stay away, as all you will get is delays and things falling through. We are seriously considering suing them. STAY AWAY... Read more

The property that Fox&Sons sold for me was an unusual and difficult one. Matt was the negotiator , who worked tirelessly over the months to get the appropriate price for me. He contacted every week to update me on the state of the market and eventually he acquired a buyer. Even after this, there were still difficulties but he succeeded. He should be congratulated for his resilience and persistence. Many thanks, Matt.... Read more

5/5 Stars
When selling our house recently, we had quotes from local estate agents and chose Fox and Sons because they actually seemed to care and take an interest in us and our house! We were glad we did as we thought they were fantastic, Beth, Leon and Matt were friendly, helpful, professional and always available to answer any of our questions. (No matter how random they were!) Leon kept us updated throughout the process and we definitely felt that we were in good hands. Whilst Fox and Sons may not be the cheapest option, it was definitely worth it and we would thoroughly recommend them... Read more

We have just completed a long and complicated house purchase with the Fox & Sons office in Axminster. The whole team right from the first sales phone call, first viewings and constant communication during the offer/purchase chase problems process has been very professional and efficient. After 6 months we think we will miss the phone calls and visits to the office. I would highly recommend Fox & Sons in Axminster as a house buyer and can imagine they were just as good for the seller.... Read more
