Foden Property review

Best for: landlords wanting stated ARLA and NAEA cover

Trading as Foden Property (Lawley) Limited · Suite 1.25 St James House, Hollinswood Road, Telford, Shropshire, TF2 9TW · Service area: Telford
Foden Property in short
Foden Property is a Telford sales and lettings agent run from St James House on Hollinswood Road, backed by a limited company active for over a decade. Its site states ARLA and NAEA Propertymark membership with client money protection, and its letting page prices full management with a VAT-inclusive set-up fee. The firm sits on the Ombudsman register.
Customer reviews are solid rather than spectacular for Foden Property, with a headline rating of 4.6 from just over a hundred Google ratings, the only public source we hold. Our view is that this suits landlords who put stated professional cover first. What counts against it is a homepage that still shows placeholder copy and a page error, plus no published insurance detail.
Our verdict
Our judgement: Foden suits landlords who want stated ARLA and NAEA cover with a priced management package from a Hollinswood office [2] [3]. The review base runs to 109 ratings [6]. The gaps are a finished homepage and insurance detail [1].
