Foden Property review

Ranked 7 of 10 in Valuers in Telford

Best for: Telford landlords wanting published letting fees

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 small Telford sales and lettings agent working from St James House, backed by a limited company active for just over a decade. Our verdict is that Foden Property is the transparency pick for landlords, with every letting charge published with VAT. ARLA and NAEA Propertymark membership with client money protection is stated, and redress is registered.

Customer reviews are modest on the only public source we hold, with a 4.6 rating from 109 Google reviews and nothing else on file. The homepage still shows placeholder copy, sales fees are missing and cover is not stated. Foden Property therefore suits landlords who prize published fees over a polished site. The letting and why-use-us pages still set out services, fees and memberships clearly.

The record shows a small Telford sales and lettings agent from St James House, keeping a tight local patch rather than a county footprint. The letting page publishes managed and let-only packages with VAT-inclusive figures and named extras, and valuation routes cover both sales and lettings. What the site lacks in polish it makes up for in published detail.

The customer base is modest on the single public source held, the smallest among the ranked letting agents, with nothing else on file. A smaller base moves more easily on a handful of voices, kind or otherwise. Our view remains that landlords who rank published fees above polish will forgive the thin site.

Our verdict

Our view is that Foden Property suits landlords who want a Telford agent with every letting charge published up front [2]. The Google base stands at 109 reviews at 4.6 [6]. The site itself is thin in places, sales fees are missing, and insurance cover is not stated [1] [2].

Questions about Foden Property

Is Foden Property any good?

On the evidence, yes for landlords who want every charge visible: it ranks seventh of the ten valuers in our September round, holds 4.6 from 109 Google reviews, and publishes its full letting scale with VAT alongside stated Propertymark membership [2] [3] [6]. The site is thin in places, so read the full review first.

Is Foden Property on a trade register?

It sits on the Property Ombudsman register, and its why-use-us page states ARLA and NAEA Propertymark membership with client money protection [3] [4]. That covers redress, industry accreditation and money protection from sourced statements. Ask for the membership details with your paperwork and keep them on file.

What does Foden Property charge?

Managed and let-only packages are published with VAT-inclusive set-up fees, a monthly rate and named extras [2]. No sales fee scale is published, so that figure is agreed at valuation. Ask for the sales commission rate and tie-in in writing.

Where does Foden Property work?

It works from St James House and serves Telford, keeping a tight local patch. If you sit outside the town, send your postcode with the enquiry to confirm cover. Valuation routes for both sales and lettings are published on its site.

How is Foden Property ranked?

It ranks seventh of the ten valuers in our September round, placed by its overall score across customer evidence, qualifications, history, cover, pricing clarity and website detail. Read the full review alongside the scorecard, then compare its valuation with one or two rival agents.

How do I get a valuation from Foden Property?

Use the valuation routes on the firm's site for sales and lettings, or contact the St James House office direct [1]. Letting packages are already published with VAT, so landlord quotes start from visible figures. No sales fee scale is published, so use the visit to settle the commission rate and the tie-in. Bring tenure, room details and what the figure is for.

What do customers say about Foden Property?

Customers rate the firm fairly on the single public source held: 4.6 from 109 Google reviews, with nothing else on file [6]. That is a modest base beside the county names, though every voice sits on the same platform. Read the reviews beside the full assessment, then weigh the published letting scale against the thin site.

How does Foden Property compare with the other valuers in the round?

It sits seventh of the ten ranked valuers, the highest-placed of the smaller Telford agents. Nothing else at this end of the table publishes every letting charge with VAT, and stated Propertymark membership with money protection backs the page [2] [3]. What holds it back is a thin site and missing sales fees. Landlords wanting every charge visible will read it as the transparency option.
