If I could give Foxtons less than one star… I deeply regret having rented a property in SW London with them. Here is a short version of a long story. Details are available if Foxtons management is interested. We became interested in a property and contacted the Wimbledon branch in August 2021. The letting agent assigned (Rosie) was very kind and showed us the house in two occasions. We had asked a few questions on the price and other conditions, and she kept reassuring us that everything was negotiable. So, we put forward our offer (including some conditions, e.g. no furniture, some small repairs and professional cleaning, especially of carpeted stairs), which - we were told - was accepted by the landlord. Only later, after signing the agreement, we found out that not all the conditions we had put forward had not been agreed by the landlord - in fact, they had not even been shared. By the time we realised that, Rosie had already been fired ("moved on", as they said, although in a private conversation we were told the truth). We tried to resolve the issue with the line manager (Liz), who was generally unresponsive and, when we did manage to speak, she was vague in her answers. We realised that there was clearly a lack of interest in Foxtons to address our concerns: after all, the deal had been concluded and a contract had been signed - so why bother? Before the moving in date, Foxtons' silence had raised our suspicions, so we kept chasing Liz (phone and email), so I had to physically go to the office so that we could have a proper conversation about those unmet conditions and the state of the house. Only then (i.e. 48 hours before moving in), Liz - who admitted not knowing anything about the property (!!) - took us to see the house and check that everything was ready for us to move in. It wasn't! The house was in very poor conditions. It had a very clear damp issue affecting the living room and the dining room, it was really dirty (with rubbish from previous tenants), old and broken furniture was lying around, the lights were not working in all rooms, and many, many other issues. At that point Foxtons had to do something: so they touched up the damp-affected walls (!!!) and carried out a very rushed "professional" (!!) clean for us to move in. We were promised everything else would be taken care in due course. Liz then handed over the case to the property manager – who had not been looped in about anything! Once in, we discovered even more issues and the list had already reached over 40 problems. and remerging only two weeks after being touched up (NOTA BENE: the damp issue was well known and there was even a formal report by a damp proofing contractor), no check in inventory was carried out (again, something we only found out later), no carbon monoxide alarms (we had to buy them!), wall paints peeling off, loose tiles, no insulation/draught excluders in the windows, etc. We logged a list of over 40 problems, which we sent to the the property manager requiring action. To cut a long story short, after 5 months they have probably resolved 1/3 of them, while others have come up (as you would expect from an old house poorly maintained). The usual excuse is to promise that “they are on it”, but then little or no action is taken. To give an example, the kitchen extractor broke down and after 4 weeks we do not have any update at all. When you complain, you are back to the vicious cycle: you raise the issue, then many emails later they will call you to “update” you, which normally means that they are about to start taking some action, then they need to get a quote, which needs to be approved by landlords, and so on…At the moment our property manager (Alix - yes, they also changed the manager after they could see how badly the previous one was managing the situation) is slightly more responsive to communication, but still the pace of the action is ridiculously slow and we never get a full update of all the issues. The excuse is always that the landlord "is still deciding". Small note: we are talking here of a property rented at £ 2,200 pcm, so you would be expecting a better service at least. In short, our experience with Foxtons has been abysmal: we feel cheated (in bad faith), neglected or sidelined, exploited (we had to do much of their work because no one could be bothered to come and do an appraisal of the house conditions), and we are emotionally drained, plus we have been facing a number of extra costs. Foxtons look great and fancy, but it is all a façade. This has been by far the worst experience with an estate agent we have had. The appalling service has been consistent throughout the letting and property management departments, permeated by incompetence, inefficiency and lack of accountability. I would emphatically recommend anyone to avoid Foxtons at all costs.

Foxtons Wimbledon have been appalling in their treatment of my daughter and her flatmates. Almost a month into a tenancy, the flat is dirty and dangerous with faulty electrics.

I was unable to view the house I let in person because I arranged it from abroad. The photos they showed me were misleading, and the house was damaged, dirty, and mouldy.

Please do not use this agent to rent out your property. I did and wasted thousands of pounds as a consequence. They may have a nice office with "free drinks" and they may drive nice cars, but that is about it. All they care about is getting your money and then they leave you high and dry. ... Read Full Review

From the very start I was wary about using Foxtons due to their terrible reputation. And Adrienne lived up to the worst of my expectations.

Her attitude was completely wrong from the start. She appeared stroppy and didn\'t listen to my requirements despite giving them to her several times. She didn\'t seem interested in renting me the correct property, just about getting commission. Then refusing to even give me the addresses of the properties until she took me there was just a joke! Clearly trying to protect her commission again.
