friendly & reliable estate agents, went above and beyond for us!
Do not use this estate agent if you value your sanity and time.Booked the agent in Feb 2026 . We got a buyer quickly the sale took until sep 2026.In those 8 months we never got a phone call off an agent in question, after numerous calls by us. Numerous visits going into Paul fox never got a call back
The buyers kept ringing us because he would never answer their calls,visiting our house this should not have happened.We ended up doing all negotiations between ourselves and buyer,then when we did completion and had to be out by 10am still no communication by said man Ryan to buyer or us the seller we had to do this ourselves at 10 am. 5 hours later after we vacated properly estate agents rang to ask to sort keys with them 5 hours too late. Have now been vacated since Friday 18 sep 2026 still no response from Ryan or his company. Look on trust pilot or other sites for reviews I wish we had before taking Paul fox estate agents on. T he most stressful house selling I have ever come across Do not put yourselves through it Paul fox estate agents.

I was very satisfied with Paul Fox Estate Agents when selling my property. From first visit by Ryan to do valuation, to handing my keys over to Lyndsey, I was kept informed all the way.
All staff were friendly and helpful - definitely would use these guys again.

Booked a viewing, couldn't do the Friday which was the first day of viewings, so their next working day was Monday, which I booked. Got a call at 2pm Friday to say the property had sold ( 7 hours on the market). And they may claim its their clients wishes but I was willing to go above asking price and they've only let down me and their client by not allowing one batch of viewings.

Paul Fox Estate Agents have complained because i identified the bosses son who gives a rubbish service, but cries when identified. Says it all.
At first, everything seemed professional. We received a visit from from one of the owners sons who pretty much after sitting down divulged that The owner, his Father is a Mason. I don't quite understand whether he expected a standing ovation or invite to dinner, but the fact that he felt the need to mention this seemed to cause him some embarrassment. He then spent some time letting my partner and I know how wonderful they were. Convinced that they would do as they promised, we signed with them.
10 days later the same turned up to take photographs. Because it was grey and windy he said that he would return on a day less windy to take drone shots of both the back and front of the property, as we have fields to the front and rear of the house.as well as a covered walkway between the house and the garage. He couldn't take it on that day as my partner and I have mobility issues and because we knew that at some point we would be moving.that we had made an early start on packing. The boxes were all over the house, but many were also in the covered walkway. When he mentioned calling in for the drone pictures he said he would take a photo looking down the walkway. The next day the house was online and on the market. I noticed online that some details on the floorplan were incorrect, so I contacted same via email to explain what changes were needed. We also found that some of the description of the property was lacking in detail so included that too. I received an email back letting me know that these items would be addressed.
In the meantime my partner, let's address her a L and I started emptying the corridor of the boxes so when same returned to take the outstanding promised photographs, it would be ready to be photographed. What would take a healthy person just a few hours took us weeks. Now many blue sky, and sunny days past, without a peep from same. Same had said he would pop in on a sunny day, we had stupidly taken him at face value as he didn't. During the next month I email him twice, both times he ghosts us. I then get a call from girl from Paul Fox Gainsborough Office. She has called to let us know why we haven't had any viewings. I tell her that im not surprised as if the bosses son can't be bothered to reply to the emails of people they are working for, it's no surprise really. I then spend 12 minutes reeling off everything they had failed to do, I was met with one of the most insincere apologies I think I have ever received. I mention that if the bosses son can't be bothered to reply to two emails, it doesn't give the customer much hope of getting a sale. I then reel off the floorplan mistakes I was assured would be corrected a month ago, as they hadn't. I mentioned the features missing off the description I had mentioned a month ago. She gave the impression she was writing everything down, but I'm doubting that now. I was promised they would be sorted out. On closing the call, girl promises to correct everything asap, send us out a brochure of our house, something we never got but that was promised when signing us up and on this phone conversation. Last but not least, she would contact same at Paul Fox and ensure he calls us. 6 days later, I call girl to see when these asap items would appear? All she could tell me is that it had been sent to head office. 2 months after signing us up, same turns up to take the outstanding photos. Before he does so, I mention that he hadn't replied to my emails, he offers no explanation. I ask why the floorplan hasn't been updated, nor the description? He tells us that he will get it updated. He then tells us, he's going out to get the drone pictures but will then leave straight after he sends the drone up and takes only 1 photo of the front of the house. He then goes to leave so we ask him about taking photos of the corridor we had struggled so hard to clear. He shakes his head and just goes outside and launches the drone. Sometime after, we receive our 1 and only viewing, it was obvious, even before they had made it through the door that this house wasn't for them. I can't help but wonder if both the viewers and us had both our time wasted, just to get someone through our door?
3 months in, I get a call from girl wanting to update us on the slow market. I ask her why the description hasn't been updated, or why the floorplan hasn't been corrected? I also tell her that Paul Fox are in breach of contract and we are considering our future with them? I also mention again that same, obviously an unbelievably ignorant xxxx hasn't replied to any email. She now doesn't even try to give a reason why he is so ignorant or why nothing has been updated.
4 months in. I call. Still no updated description or rectified floorplan.
5 months I tell her that's it. We're leaving.

Paul Fox have been fantastic the whole way through the purchase of our house. They are more reliable for contact and updates than the solicitors we have. Always happy to chat, always free for follow up viewings or anything you need from the property. They couldn't do enough to help. The final exchange is still yet to happen but Paul Fox have been a lifeline throughout. Thank you so much

The Paul Fox team were from the outset friendly and professional. They kept us informed of progress and any changes far more efficiently than any other party and always worked to keep the process as smooth as possible.

The team at Paul Fox Gainsborough are just the best. We would recommend them without a doubt. They were professional and helpful and nothing was too much trouble during the purchase and sale of our property. Thank you to everyone.

Communication at the Paul Fox Barton branch really does need some improvement. I requested to view a property in October 2025 and initially received a response advising that they had contacted the vendor to arrange a viewing. However, I received no further update until I chased it up.
When I did follow up, I was informed that the property had a leak and required some work, and that they would update me once they had more information. As you can imagine, despite chasing again, I never received any further response. Since then, I have seen that the property is now sold subject to contract, without me ever being contacted.
Paul Fox needs a better process in place to manage and respond to customer queries effectively.

Paul Fox sold a property for us. It turned out to be a very lengthy process with a fair few problems. We were kept informed every step of the way with their first-class service. Very helpful and friendly. Highly recommended, couldn't ask for more!

Paul Fox have been amazing with selling my mums house and I would recommend them again. Lyndsay has been friendly and efficient helping us navigate through the selling process and has gone above and beyond to help. The service they provided was excellent and I would be more than happy to use them again.

What a great company to deal with! I got immediate responses to emails from knowledgeable friendly staff. Everything necessary was carried out by them at my convenience and to my great satisfaction. During the relatively stressful time of selling up, it's a good feeling to know Paul Fox estate agents are there to help, guide and give support.

Very efficient and professional service from initial viewing to purchase and completion of property. Great communication throughout. We would highly recommend Paul Fox Estate Agents, Gainsborough. A big thank you to Sharna and Megan.

If I could give them a minus 1 I would! Absolute mercenaries without an ounce of pride in the job they do. We have listed our property on a modern auction style sale and it turns out they have nothing to do with it, they just passed our details to IAMSOLD which are nothing more than predators themselves! Our contact Ella, simply did not care how much we lost, she sold our property for a price that was nothing more than peanuts, and even when she sold it she made a clause in favour of the buyer!! So even now after day 56, the buyer can pull out and they will not lose their deposit! STAY AWAY FROM THIS TYPE OF AUCTION YOU WILL SEE YOUR HOUSE PRICE REDUCED TO NOTHING AND ESPECIALLY STAY AWAY FROM PAUL FOX EPWORTH AND IAMSOLD.

We used Paul Fox for our house sale recently, they were extremely friendly and helpful throughout the process. They encouraged plenty of the right viewings on our property resulting in a very quick sale. Communication with the office was excellent and they kept us informed of any updates as they happened. We would definitely recommend Paul Fox Estate Agents.

Michelle at Paul Fox has been brilliant, from immediate viewing feedback to sale progression - keeping me updated all the way. Very happy and the sale went through in a little over 2 months!! Would highly recommend.

The team at Brigg are amazing. Throughout our sale and purchase they have been professional, courteous and respectful. They kept us fully informed throughout the process and were the lynch pin for communication between the parties in what became a challenging set of circumstances. Special thanks have to go to Becci who always went the extra mile, she went above and beyond to support us. Professional with a personal touch. I would highly recommend them.
