Foden Property in short
Foden Property is a Telford sales and lettings agent working from St James House, with a valuation route and a page setting out its memberships. What stands out is the focus: a Telford-only independent, with NAEA and ARLA Propertymark membership plus client money protection stated on its own pages. The Telford-only patch is the point: every instruction sits inside one town.
On services, the record shows sales and lettings with a valuation route, membership pages and contact routes on the company site [1]. The firm works from St James House in Telford and serves Telford alone, a single-town patch no rival in the table matches. NAEA and ARLA membership with client money protection is stated on its own pages [2].
Customers rate the firm at 4.6 from 109 Google reviews, a modest but positive customer record. Across the held sources that Google base is the only customer evidence, so the story rests on a single platform. The company behind the firm has been active for over a decade. The redress register, the membership pages and the company record carry the other side of the evidence.
Our view is that Foden Property suits sellers and landlords who want a Telford-only independent with professional memberships and redress documented. What counts against it is price, with nothing published, and cover, which is not stated on the pages checked. Sellers who prefer a single-town independent to a county firm get that here.
Our verdict
Our view is that Foden Property suits sellers and landlords who want a Telford-only independent with professional memberships and redress documented [1] [2]. The Google base stands at 109 reviews at 4.6 [5]. What counts against it is pricing, with nothing published, and insurance cover, which is not stated [1] [2].

Questions about Foden Property
Is Foden Property any good?
The evidence is mixed but positive: tenth in our Telford commercial property agents table, with professional memberships and steady Google reviews. It suits sellers and landlords who want a Telford-only independent. Read the full review, then ask for a valuation. Read the strengths and limitations on its card for what sits behind the position.
Is Foden Property on the Property Ombudsman register?
The business appears on the Property Ombudsman register [3]. NAEA and ARLA Propertymark membership with client money protection is stated on its own pages [2]. Confirm the current position with the office when you request your valuation, since memberships can change. Ask which schemes cover the commercial side specifically if your job mixes shops with flats.
What does Foden Property charge?
No rates, fee scale or VAT position appear on the pages checked. Free valuations are offered through the site. Send your property details and ask for the full fee breakdown, including VAT and marketing, in writing before you agree anything. Bring a second written quote on the same scope so the two compare line by line.
Where does Foden Property work?
The firm sits at St James House in Telford and serves Telford alone, working as a Telford-only independent. Send your postcode with the property details to confirm you are inside its patch. Contact routes and the valuation form are on the company website. Include the unit type as well as the postcode, since commercial cover varies by job.
How is Foden Property ranked?
It ranks tenth of the ten commercial property agents in our September round, the pick for a Telford-only independent. Barbers sits just above it on branch scale and office count. Read the full review first, then ask for your free valuation. The scorecard behind the position carries an evidence date, so check how fresh it is.
What do customers say about Foden Property?
Google is the whole customer story here: 4.6 from 109 reviews, a modest but positive customer record. No other review platform sits in the held evidence, so treat that single base as indicative rather than complete. Read a spread of the recent reviews themselves for the recurring themes before you weigh the score.
How do I get a quote from Foden Property?
Start with the valuation route on the company site: send the unit type, size, current use and lease position, plus whether you are selling, letting or handing over management. Ask for the full fee in return — basis of appointment, calculation, VAT, marketing and tie-in — in a written quote on that scope. Compare it line by line with a second quote before you sign.
How does Foden Property compare with the others in the round?
It sits tenth of ten, the local-specialist pick behind Barbers on branch scale and office count. Its memberships match bigger rivals, but its rating is the lowest of the ranked ten and nothing is published on price. Weigh local focus against those two gaps. The company record shows over a decade of trading, so the gaps are price visibility and review depth.
