I moved to London two months ago and have found both short-term let and now a long-term let through Foxtons, in particular through Charlie D at Foxtons Brixton. It is a competitive market out there but Charlie has helped us find great places to live and helped us move quick enough to get them. I can't speak highly enough of the excellent support and professionalism Charlie as well as Sophie have given us and their willingness to go above and beyond to help us find the right places for us! I will definitely be recommending Foxtons to all my friends and family that are looking to move in the future. Thanks again Charlie for your help, you have made what can be a very stressful time a lot easier.... Read more

I have really enjoyed the process of viewing properties with Foxtons although I didn't end up purchasing a property with them. The service has been really efficient with excellent communications and friendly, reliable team. Jason Clarkson has been the main contact and has been amazing, wonderful to work with and very impressed with the service. Thank you Jason! Also would like to mention Zach Heppner-Logan who was also very helpful.... Read more

Unfortunately couldn’t give 0 stars, Unprofessional at all, avoid them!
I’ve been 2 years in tenancy with that estate, never missing one payment even during the Covid-19 as was in furlough.
Left me and flat mates without oven for almost 5 months, every email sent it they just ignored until my last day in.
Afterwards they just ask moneys for some damage in the house and deep cleaning.
Perfect right about the professional cleaning as may be not clean in professional, but what about be charged £40 for a windows handle?!
Also nobody apologies too or make any discount due the oven issue.
Great job Foxton, doesn’t matter which branch but I’ll never choose and advise again.... Read more

I originally appointed a prominent estate agents with a heavy advertising campaign, hoping to save money.
The marked difference between this agent and dealing with Roberto and Kane from Foxtons in Brixton, is priceless.
Throughout my property sale they were always professional and knowledgeable and a reassuring presence during the challenging times.
I would recommend paying the extra for this level of service because the stress of selling can increase if you don’t have the right estate agent.
If I could change anything, I would not have been swayed by any other agent and have used Foxtons first!... Read more

Very professional branch. Roberto at Foxtons Brixton was very easy to liaise with for my first property purchase. Not having had much experience of house hunting before, I appreciated his willingness to explain the process fully and his role. He found the perfect place for me at only the second property I viewed, which spoke to his strong understanding of my priorities as a buyer. Would definitely recommend... Read more

We had a great experience with Jack at Foxtons Brixton when buying a flat. Jack did extra research to find the flat which we would not have initially considered had he not suggested a viewing. Compared to our experience with other estate agents from different companies, Jack was much more proactive, hardworking, helpful and professional. When it came to making an offer the team at Foxtons handled it very well and efficiently to ensure a good deal was done for both sides. I would absolutely recommend the team at Foxtons and in particular Jack.... Read more

In looking for a house for me and 2 others to move in to even our most basic search criteria was completely ignored by every agent we spoke to. All the properties recommended to us were a complete rip off compared to others we saw with other agencies
At one point we were even recommended to view a 2 bed despite the fact we were 3 friends moving in. Absolute basic stuff completely ignored by shrude and insensitive business machines. So much time wasted by them. Use a local agent instead.... Read more

Very poor customer service. When I went to pick up my keys for a rental flat, I didn't bring my passport. I promised to return in 20 minutes, but traffic caused me to be 5 minutes late. Despite my pleas, no one at Foxtons waited and the office was shuddered when I returned, resulting in £350 in hotel and storage costs over the weekend.
Worse, the week before I moved out, I couldn't get the keys to my new flat because Foxtons hadn't provided my tenant reference to my new landlord - despite numerous phone calls and emails from both me and my new landlord. With the lockdown, I had nowhere else to go, so was forced to stay in the flat for two extra nights until the Monday morning when I could get an answer. There hasn't been any apology or admission of guilt - and forget about any lockdown solidarity - I've been chanrged £171.42 for the pleasure of being forced to stay in the flat.
I even did them the favour of making a video of my flat (plus cleaning and tidying ahead of time), which didn't get me any favours - not even a thank you or acknowledgement - nothing. And I haven't even mentioned the filthiness and squalor of the flat.
From my experience, Foxtons charges a lot, yet holds its tenants in contempt.... Read more

At the last couple of months of approx 16 months of communications with Foxtons Brixton re selling a property - Roberto Albrecht was assigned to liaise with us during lockdown.
Although there had certainly been positive periods of negotiation re prospective buyers, at times I felt the Foxtons representative was biased towards the prospective buyers needs, which I expressed in an email to Foxtons and undoubtedly left a bad taste in my mouth! This was certainly not the case with Roberto. He was a breath of fresh air and very quickly restored my somewhat diminished good feeling about Foxton's service.
Roberto is very friendly, refreshingly enthusiastic, optimistic, genuinely caring, always responded promptly, an excellent negotiator and is a joy to speak with. I felt he struck an excellent balance between being fair and supportive of both the seller's and buyer's interests. This felt very good and reassuring and with his efficiency and vibrant energy driving things forward during this difficult period - we finally managed to agree a completion date!
I cannot help wishing Roberto had appeared earlier on in the process and highly recommend that you personally request him to represent you!... Read more

I had a very positive experience with Foxtons and my agent, Richard. I've recently been relocating to South London, and it's been my first time renting in London, which was a pretty daunting experience.
Richard was very happy to answer my many beginners' questions, and always told me what expectations of mine were realistic given my budget and other requirements. In other words, he gave me the best advice, rather than telling me what I wanted to hear. He's easy to get along with and drove me to all the viewings.
In the end I made one offer with Foxtons but had another offer accepted on a really great place elsewhere so I went with that. Nonetheless, I am very thankful to Richard, not only for the good service but because if I hadn't gone on several viewings with him, then I wouldn't have got as good a feel for the market. So, indirectly, he helped me make a decision on the place that I ended up going for.
Overall would definitely recommend for someone looking to move to South London.... Read more

Wouldn’t recommend rental with Brixton team. We advertise our property with sales team end of last year, we are not in the country so we did Airbnb and it was challenging getting through the door because of not many free days and the timing between guests bookings. We were advised by rental team to short let with them as this would be easier getting through the door because it will be only managed by Foxtons. They found a tenant and offered 2 year’s contracts but we did highlight from the beginning our priority is to sell. I did ask what’s going to happened with selling side if we agree with 2 years contact and they said the tenant need to live at our property minimum 6 months, and after we can come to agreement give them 3 months notice, etc. After signing the contract we were told we can’t sell for the next 2 years, otherwise we will be paying penalties. The agent lied to us saying we never discussed sales part and we only discussed taking the advertising for sales down. We also can’t redraw as we already sign contract! We feel we have been tricked into the deal, it’s been over a week and we still haven’t heard back in how we can resolve the situation and the tenants supposed to move in on the March 1st despite chasing and calling them! After signing the contract the communication gone quiet even though I did kindly ask to let me know the cost of fixing one of the shower, on which of our personal belongings should we remove (bear in mind we are not in UK so we needed some time to organise this). To get the rental deal with us they could ring 5 times a day, after signing almost “0” communication. We are very disappointed with miss leading information and how we have been treated!

Cannot recommend highly enough! Incredible service from start to finish.
Towards the end of 2019 Foxtons in Brixton sold my property in record time in a very challenging environment. Not only did the flat sell above asking price, I was in the position where I could pick from a number of buyers competing for the property. Given the market challenges they faced, and the desirability of the property (ex local), the speed and efficiency of the service was incredible.
Thomas Lebbern and Abs Morafa were great partners throughout, providing ongoing guidance and support. Their attention to detail and thoroughness was vital when dealing with a very challenging legal process. At times of intense pressure, they were constantly close the action helping all parties come to the best outcome.

Will @ Foxtons in Brixton has been absolutely fantastic with finding a buyer for my property and managing them through to completion. I could not rate them highly enough. Will kept the momentum going when we had a number of buyers fall through (for various reasons) - and each time, they renewed the search for a buyer with as much enthusiasm as the first time. Clodagh who found my eventual buyer made the process as stress-free as possible, and the offer negotiation was very smooth. She gave me plenty of confidence in the process, and Foxtons have been amazing from beginning to end. I'd originally put my property on the market through another Estate Agent, but I had a very poor experience and no viewings. As soon as I put it on with Foxtons, there were 1-2 viewings happening a day. Amazing service, and I felt that Foxtons were working really hard to sell my property, and this more than justifies the higher fee. Thanks so much.... Read more

Thoroughly recommended. After the best part of a year on the market with two other agents we decided to try Foxtons (Brixton branch). Their communication was excellent right from the start, with regular correspondence and updates every few days - something we found distinctly lacking from previous agents. Despite not having as much as an offer in the previous year Foxtons were able to find a buyer for our property within one month. They were instrumental in chasing up the necessary parties and coordinating well with legal teams. The whole team were fantastic but particular praise must go to Joanna Sutherland and Tom Lebbern, who worked hard throughout the sale and always kept us updated with honest feedback. Their experience with the area and the sector was fantastic and we were impressed throughout.... Read more

Mate of mine tried to leave his contract early so we could live together. He found a new tenant - no loss whatsoever to Foxtons in terms of the return / commission generated on the property. Charged him a £300 fee for 'commission lost', essentially taking advantage of his wish to leave his contract early. Not what I'd called ethical practice. Not the sort of company to fail to enforce some spurious clause of your tenancy if it can make them a couple of quid. Capitalism at its 'best'.... Read more

He was tireless in his search for the right property type for us and even though we had super-specific criteria, he found us the perfect place! He didn't inundate us with properties he knew wouldn't work for us, he was really responsive and always kept in touch even if the market was slow.

Renting with Foxtons was a really bad experience. Maintenance issues where never dealt with in a timely manner (one month without a fridge, leaks ruining floors and carpets) or worst (one of the maintenance team that was sent to our flat for a blocked pipe pretended that our dish washer was not working, took it away and had a new one installed at cost). The flats offered by Foxtons are usually nicer than the rest of the market - but having several water damages, broken appliances for weeks and holes in the ceiling really ruins it. As a landlord I would not recommend them either as their cost saving policy usually leads to long term damage of the flat. To be avoided.... Read more

I am sharing this information simply so that people do not make the same mistake as me.
My advice would be:
• DO NOT rent, let or sell your house with Foxtons Brixton.
• AVOID Alexandra Reeves, Luke Tubb, and Lalise Fufa from Foxtons property management.
Overview:
Harrasment from Foxtons
Flat was trashed on move in day
Property managers are useless
I rented a 2 bed flat in Brixton over the summer with a friend, as we both had short term jobs based in Central London over this period. We had to pay our deposit and rent up front which I expected and all went smoothly. The property was up for sale as well, but we were ensured before signing that if someone did buy the property we would still be able to live there legally, this was even reassured in our contract.
HARRASSED BY FOXTONS BEFORE WE EVEN MOVED IN
However, less than a month before we moved in Luke Tubb from Foxtons Brixton began to harass both of us via email and phone calls virtually every day. He had informed us that the Landlord had a buyer for the flat and asked if we would consider moving out to another flat, reminding us the first time we were not obliged because we already had a contract. Once we declined the offer he harassed us daily and called us, emailing other properties for rent in that time period.
ALL of them were over double the price per month we were already paying. Bearing in mind we had ALREADY PAID UPFRONT AND HAD A CONTRACT. THERE WAS NO BREAK CLAUSE IN THE CONTRACT. One of the suggestions was a 3 bed flat in Oval which was £5000 a month, which was an absolutely ridiculous price compared to the £750 a month we had paid for the Brixton Flat already. He tried to guilt trip us by saying that the Landlord was going to lose a lot of money if we didn’t move out. We had no contact in person from the Landlord all of this time, I am unsure as to whether what Luke Tubb was telling us was actually true. I had to keep reminding Luke Tubb we already had a contract and would not be able to afford another place, if we had to move out we would be homeless. Furthermore, as there was no break clause in the contract I knew I had the right to decline.
We still got harassed every day and it was a very stressful time. In order to make him stop I had to go into the Foxtons branch in Brixton myself, even though I was living 200 miles away at this point. I took a printed out copy of our tenancy agreement and went through it with him just to reinforce that what he was trying to do, to break our tenancy, was against the law. I have no idea what his motives for doing this were, however after he dropped the harassment, there were absolutely no repercussions legally for carrying on living there. The Landlord sold the flat, the contract was passed onto the new Landlord and we lived there without breaking our side of the tenancy. All of that harassment was for absolutely nothing.
ON MOVING IN DAY THE FLAT WAS TRASHED
On the day we moved in at 9am on a Monday Alexandra Reeves did not have the keys for the property, she had to trace them to another one of their branches where the previous tenants had left them at the weekend. When we finally got into the flat it was completely trashed. She had not bothered to check the state of the property beforehand even though in section 18.13 of our contract it was their duty to pay for professional cleaning before we moved in. There was a soiled used mattress and bedding in the living area, which indicated to us that a third person had been living in the flat. The fridge was broken and rusty, filled with mouldy food and the freezer had been left wide open and had become a huge ice cube which had dripped flooding half of the kitchen. There was clothes, rubbish and cigarette butts all over the floors and there was a shopping trolley inside. There was no clean space on any of the floors to put our belongings so we had to wipe down the dining room table and balance all of our things in a pile on top of that until the flat was cleaned.

I usually share positive experiences on social media, but I do believe that customers should share both kind of experiences after what we suffered with Foxtons so that no one gets frustrated like we did. In brief, we approached Foxtons from overseas to rent an apartment for 3 months and we have chosen the apartment/flat after viewing the online images on their website/app which happened to be photoshopped even though we have communicated with a sales agent “Alex” who handed over the keys at Foxtons Brixton office claiming that she viewed the flat before handing over the keys. We were shocked when we arrived to the apartment/flat as it was not cleaned professionally (to be accurate Dirty) and the Mattress was uncovered with big stains on it not to mention too many things needed Maintenence from the kitchen (water tap leakage, dismantled wooden parts broken tiles) to the fridge where the freezer door was broken as well as the toilet/loo shower temperature regulator was not working and the shower hose leakage plus the stains on the carpet to burn lamps and so on... horrible! As per the agreement/contract Foxtons & the landlord were supposed to secure WiFi connection in the flat but they didn’t so after getting an approval from the landlord we purchased WiFi for 3 months from Vodafone UK and the amount was Not refunded. Also before you leave the apartment you should get a professional cleaning company which we did but because we did not get the cleaning company via Foxtons they deducted £240 for one bedroom flat! Cherry on top of the cake, Foxtons sent an email claiming that there were some damages that didn’t exist when we handed over the keys and deducted the deposit! Foxtons do not respond to your emails promptly when there is anything related to Maintanance or deposit refund but when they need a payment they follow up all the time. Everyone should be careful when dealing with Foxtons as they do NOT return your deposit as per the contract and email communications. Worst experience with a real estate agency we’ve ever had. I personally do NOT Recommend them at all very unprofessional & dishonest. #Foxtons #Foxtonslondon #FoxtonsBrixtons... Read more

Very quick to rent a property to you but no care once rented. Always stay on the owners side and offer no support to the tennant. Also I have been waiting for nearly a month for my deposit to be returned, promises of it being transferred but nothing happening. Terrible company and customer service... Read more

They overvalued my property by more than a million pounds and then failed to find a buyer. Dreadful service from start to finish.... Read more

I used Foxtons in Brixton recently to sell my flat. I was very impressed with the professionalism of their staff. They really do work hard at what they do. And they work with the person too, prepared to go that little bit extra. Very good indeed.... Read more

This estate agents are very good and from a lot of company I've speak to, the Foxtons are the best. Also the stuff with I spoke are well organize. You know, that they are listen to you and each time when they calling you or when you meeting them, they know what you are looking for. They just prepared for chating or meeting. Strong recommended!!... Read more

Property Management team is far from responsive, even when our tenants were late on rent! No follow-up on other smaller issues neither.
Do THINK TWICE before opting for property management service!

Very good experience working with the Lettings team. Truly impressed by our contact, Poppy Thompson, she helped us let our flat in a short timeframe and delivered highly efficient and professional service.
Would definitely recommend if you're looking to let your property.... Read more

Josh Liddall has been fantastic. He has come across in a very professional manner from day one, always available to be contacted, even outside of the core working hours. After the initial few properties not meeting my requirements, he was quick to get back in touch with a relevant place. Although it was above my budget he recommended that I come and see it to make an offer – this worked out very well.
I feel the way Josh dealt with me as a potential tenant was outstanding, he is a true asset to your company and reflects your core values strongly. I have recommended a number of my friends to approach your branch due to the professional friendly service that was provided.
I look forward to acquiring my next short term agreement through similar channels a few years down the line.... Read more

Foxtons was founded in Notting Hill Gate, London, as a two-person estate agency determined to make its mark on the local property scene by doing things differently.
1982 Foxtons' revolutionary 0% commission offer was launched together with much longer opening hours: 9am to 9pm!... Read more

I have dealt with a large number of estate agents over the years, for both sales and lettings, and I can safely say that this is the worst service I have ever received. Foxtons live up to their reputation to perfection. I have never paid so much for so little. Save your time and your money and use one of the many good estate agents out there who actually know something about housing, who respond to queries and who actually care about their clients. If you can possibly avoid giving Foxtons your business, then do.... Read more

Lovely people but poor offering of houses to rent. Despite clear instructions out of 3 properties visited with them 1 was way too expensive, 1 was available way too late.... Read more

Super Service!! Extremely efficient, helpful and will go to extra lengths to find the properties that suit your criteria. Marco, the agent assigned to us was an incredibly charming, funny fellow that made what could have been a stressful situation, very enjoyable and easy. We will definitely use Foxtons again in the future, mostly because of him. Highly recommended!... Read more

I am very impressed with Foxtons Brixton office. I was dealing with Mr. Marko De Masi who was really professional, open and focused. He showed me great properties and I found what I was looking for. I would recommend his services to anyone looking to rent or buy a property in London. Great job!... Read more

Everything was fantastic until move in day. I paid the deposit..months rent and service fees over £4000...I asked for it to be professionally cleaned and certain things fixed. The day I moved in ruined the experience everything up until this was great. The flat was filthy and was definitely not cleaned professionally..8 spotlights did not work..things I asked to be fixed had not been fixed..handles on doors were hanging off..entry phone doesn't work..blinds are broken...they said it had all been checked...this has really let them down...

I was very impressed with Foxtons and in particular William Cooke who looked after us from the start of our property search. He was very professional and understood what we were looking for. In the end he found us the perfect property and guided us through what can be quite a daunting process. We are now very happy in our new home and would definitely recommend this branch of Foxtons to anyone looking in the area.... Read more

I asked Foxtons to handle the sale of my Brixton flat after having a very disappointing experience with another local estate agent (3 months, no offers, poor communication).
Within 3 days Foxtons had secured a fantastic offer, and they continued to provide exceptional service throughout the entire transaction up until closing (especially Charlie Goodfellow who went above and beyond chasing a tardy lawyer!) .
Communication was proactive and transparent, and I loved their online portal that allows you to see exactly how many viewings you are getting.... Read more
