WARNING: DANGEROUS NEGLIGENCE – AVOID FOX & SONS AND THE ENTIRE CONNELLS GROUP!
Rating: 1-STAR (Zero if it were an option)
Do not trust Fox & Sons (Bitterne) or any agent under the Connells Group umbrella. This isn't just a "bad experience" it is a case of gross negligence, security failures, and a total lack of professional integrity from the branch staff all the way to Head Office. My year-long nightmare proved that this company has zero regard for your home’s safety.
1. COMPLETE SECURITY BREACH:
Agent Lillie Hansford showed a level of incompetence that is genuinely dangerous. After a viewing, she left my front door wide open and simply walked away. My home was left completely unsecured, vulnerable to theft, squatters, and the elements for over six hours. It took a neighbor to raise the alarm not the agency. They effectively invited the public into my home and abandoned their post.
2. HOSTILE AND TOXIC STAFF:
When I went to retrieve my keys, I wasn't met with an apology; I was met with an aggressive, heated confrontation from Lillie Hansford, Chris Stockill, and Laura Harrison. Their behavior was unprofessional, dismissive, and utterly toxic. They showed absolutely no remorse for leaving my property wide open and vulnerable.
3. COWARDLY MANAGEMENT:
Branch Manager Chris Nicholls and Area Manager Stuart Mansell are total cowards. They refused to even get on the phone or meet with me, hiding behind "busy schedules" to avoid answering for the massive safety failure their team caused. They are clearly incapable of managing a team or a crisis.
4. CORRUPTION AT HEAD OFFICE:
The rot goes all the way to the top of the Connells Group. Dyane Lawless at Head Office had the audacity to baselessly accuse me of "trashing" the premises, a blatant, desperate lie to cover their tracks. When I asked why the police weren't called if that were true, she had no answer. She offered a pathetic, insulting £100 "hush money" payment which I rightfully rejected. She was a complete waste of breath.
5. PROVEN GUILTY BY THE OMBUDSMAN:
It took over a year of fighting, but the Property Ombudsman officially ruled AGAINST them and awarded me a significantly higher amount. This is a matter of record: they are officially recognised as being in the wrong and failing their duty of care.
6. GREEDY DATA TACTICS:
Even after losing, their "dopey" DPA team is refusing my legal "right to be forgotten," desperately clinging to my data for six years just in case they can squeeze a commission out of me. It is pathetic, greedy, and shows they care more about a few pounds than the law or customer rights. This I will be taking up with the ICO!
STAY AWAY. Do not let Lillie Hansford near your property. Do not take mortgage advice (or any advice) from Chris Stockill. This company will fail you, insult you, and leave your home at risk. Whether it's Fox & Sons or any other Connells Group brand, they are a shambolic outfit that does not deserve your business. Go to any independent agent in Southampton—anyone would be better than these people.

Hi Fox and Sons Burgess Hill
Huge thanks to Ryan James and Adam for their professionalism and dedication to our Property Sale
Fox and Sons took our house to market very quickly with photos on the web site. We agreed a price range and viewings started in the 1st week. We received two amazing offers in the 3rd week.
However having lived here since 1991 it is proving difficult to give it up so decided to stay. Fox and Sons were very accomdating and understanding of our decision.
I would recommend Fox and Sons

Leal showed me round a viewing yesterday and I can’t rate him highly enough. He was personable, very knowledgeable about the property and area and remembered things I’d mentioned on a call days before. Huge props for the attention to detail and friendliness.

Marcus was extremely helpful in helping us understand what we wanted in a flat, and was very accommodating with questions and meet ups. He was very knowledgeable, patient, and made sure to follow up with us for any questions we had. Thank you so much!

As a first time solo home buyer Fox and Son's were very supportive right from the first phone call asking about property's, to viewings and the process of buying. They were able to give me update when asked and also would call when I needed info.
The only reason I have not given them 5 stars is because the paperwork from my seller was incorrect around council banding and this had not been checked so was advertised wrong, the only constructive advice I could give would be please check this in the future but I also acknowledge I should've checked it too!
Thanks to Aimee and Lucy in particular you were both so helpful, I love my new home thanks to you guys!

The service we received fox and Sons Axminster was superb. The staff were very professional. We also used a company called D C Law in regards to the legal conveyancing which made the sale of our property run smoothly this was recommended to us by Fox and Sons. Five star service from all concerned.

As a family we have had to sell our Grans bungalow. Hayley has been amazing from the start of the process. The service we have received from Hayley and the rest of the ladies at Fox and Sons Saltash has been top tier, constant communication about the process of selling, viewings and helpful hints and tips to market the property has made the whole procedure less stressful and easy for us. Couldn’t recommend them enough.

Selling and buying don't think I'd recommend them don't seem interested in helping you buy a property even the Selling side is awful. Put in an offer for a property and no communication at all even when there Selling your property with them
