Having agreed to provide a valuation specifically for probate purposes, they then only produced a valuation for future selling with an asking price and refused to provide a correct valuation. They appear not to understand the difference between Probate and Selling valuations. Subsequent attempts ... Read Full Review

Foxtons really came through for me. They got me a buyer really quickly and lined up viewings right from day one. Then, the day before exchange the buyer dropped out. I faced not being able to buy my dream home with my fiancee. It was one of the lowest moments of my life. Foxtons got to work ... Read Full Review

Foxtons will take your money a d have you sign forms ASAP, they will be able to contact multiple times a day until you have signed, then you are pretty much left high a d dry.

A few months before getting married, we had Foxtons value our flat. We listed it with Simon Darvill, the manager we were told. His attitude was awful. When we heard the staff selling the flat in a way we weren't happy, we were told we were wrong. It was evident the flat was over valued and we ... Read Full Review

There so many issues from beginning to end. The first agent we worked with was frequently (very) late for viewings and was sacked while we were in the middle of signing our contracts. The viewings they managed while we were still living in the property were the real low point. Alex frequently ... Read Full Review

I would strongly recommend international clients considering renting a short term property in London to avoid renting from Foxtons. We have rented a flat in Chelsea for 2 months and the experience was terrible as they are extremely unreasonable upon check out. You will be faced with an enormous ... Read Full Review

Terrible agency which charges 31% management fee to landlords for a service that is very poor: loss of documents / emails with erroneous information in them (to make you think that you will earn more) no response to emails and even not posting the property.

Without doubt the most shady agency in London (Foxtons Fulham). At first visit and glance, it seems like a great agency - that is, until the contract is signed then they change their attitude and go against everything that was decided in the offer. We dealt with negotiator Alex Cima. Some of the ... Read Full Review

Foxtons does not care about you or your family. Foxtons have the highest prices on the market yet their staff is incompetent and rude. They want your money! Please go to another agency, a local one that is respectful of their customers. Foxtons will con you, lie to you, stress the h*** out of you ... Read Full Review

Pay very high charges then expect to do all the work yourself getting quotes and repairs done, and cleaning and removing rubbish. You'll pay for any damages the tenants do too. If you don't do the work yourself they will let the property run down. They don't even bother visiting ... Read Full Review
If Foxtons manage your short lets expect to pay 30% of your rental fee to them plus at least another 10% or more in additional fees and charges. Exceptionally poor value for money. It must work out at £500+/hr of time they actually spend working on your behalf v's money charges. And the tenants are ripped off too.

Money pinching system, nothing to do with staff.

If you can avoid dealing with Foxton you should. Yes they tend to have very good properties, and that's why we were their customer for the last three years having leased a great flat listed under Foxton back in 2014. But if you are choosing between two similar flats and one agency is Foxton, ... Read Full Review
Unreasonable fees which are the highest of any agency we have come across in London. Then there is the high renewal fee. We had to pay Foxton about 100 pounds per renewal for their zero value add. They take zero responsibility for flat issues, not even able to provide advice when our hearing broke in winter. Basically they only show up to make a sale and collect payment.

27 Jan 2018I am going through the same thing. They asked me to send them evidence that the tenant moved out and that there has been no transactions. I sent everything and they are still asking for renewal fee!...
Kindly note that legally, letting agents need to publish information about their tenancy fees, government-approved redress schemes and client money protection schemes on their website and on third party websites (on which agents are listed). For properties to lease/rent in England, agents need to keep this information up to date and precise on allAgents or specify within the property description.
No procedure set.
