Reputations are not built overnight
In Referenceline's view, this track record is more important than the ratings. Don't be impressed by a few old reviews which may not be representative.  Look for firms with a commitment to asking for feedback - good or bad - from their customers.  We recommend that you look for a track record of ratings and reviews in at least 9 of the last 12 months and that you should not be too concerned about an isolated negative review.  Ask the firm for their side of the story.
 


 
Code of Practice
Businesses have a legal responsibility to treat you fairly, but it's often hard to know what questions to ask or what standards to expect.  They are the experts and you should be able to rely on them to help you make decisions.  These questions explain the commitments that this business has made to follow a code of practice and they will help you understand what you have a right to expect.

You can see how many customers have said "Yes" in answer to each question, but please don't expect 100% in every case.  Nobody's perfect and some customers may not be completely sure about the answer.  It's more important that you understand these questions and discuss them with the business so that you both agree what good service means for you.  A responsible business will be happy to explain the details to you and it's always better to clarify these points upfront to avoid misunderstandings later on.

2 bed 1st floor flat.
 

"We paid a “fast track” payment upfront of £240 to market property quickly. However, after instructing in Sep 2011 we only achieved completion on a sale in August 2013, and then only after a substantial reduction in price and selling below mortgage amount. I know it has been a difficult time for selling, but 2 years?"

It was a one bedroom flat in a retirement block of 40 flats.
 

"The usual good service from a company that I have used before and known for many years. They went out of their way to sort out problems between solicitors."

3 bed semi-detached house in Bexhill-On-Sea.
 

"The lady from Fox & Sons Charlotte Osborne was fantastic. She was the agent for the seller but helped us whenever use needed it she is a definite asset to the company. Have not anything bad to say. She went above and beyond the call of duty."

Customer Review
 

"Arrangements were originally made with my mother a few weeks before she died. I feel the money charged was taking advantage of her mental and physical condition. After she died the agent was very impatient with me because the probate took a while to go through. He seemed reluctant to allow contact with myself and the buyers. To the point of allowing them and their builders access to the property without my knowledge before completion."

"All the staff I had contact with were able to make a stressful time less onerous. Residential Sales Manager, Jo Rhoades, is a credit to Fox & Sons. In general estate agents do not have a good reputation; the staff at this office are an exception."
