Foden Property in short
Foden Property is a small Telford sales and lettings agent working from St James House, trading as Foden Property (Lawley) Limited. The business sits on the ombudsman register, the site states ARLA and NAEA Propertymark membership with client money protection, and the letting page publishes landlord charges in full with VAT. Landlords see every figure before they sign.
The record shows sales and lettings from the St James House office, with managed and let-only packages beside named extras on the letting page. The stated patch is Telford itself rather than the wider county. Landlords get a small local agent; sellers get the same office without a published sales scale. Reviews are published on the site itself beside the fee scale.
Customer reviews are good, with 4.6 from 109 Google reviews, the sole public source we hold. The operating company stretches back over a decade, and managed and let-only packages sit beside named extras on the letting page. That base is smaller than most of the table. The score trails the round's leaders on a smaller base.
Our view is that Foden Property suits Telford landlords who want a small agent with every letting charge published up front. What counts against it is the shopfront: the homepage still shows placeholder copy, sales fees are missing, and insurance cover is not stated. That combination is what puts it seventh of the ten.
Our verdict

The site itself lets it down with placeholder copy on the homepage, sales fees are missing, and insurance cover is not stated [1] [2].
