About Foxhall Estate Agents, Ipswich

625 Foxhall Road, Ipswich, IP3 8ND

Jonathan Waters opened his Ipswich Office at 625 Foxhall Road in 1999, having started the company in 1992. He went on to sell the company lock stock and barrel as a highly successful market leader with an outstanding reputation in 2014 to become a carer for his elderly mother.

A new owner then ran the company for four years but this unfortunately ceased trading in August 2018.

Jonathan has handpicked some of his original highly experienced staff to form Foxhall Estate Agents with a team offering well over 50 years estate agency experience between them and has opened up once again at the original established Foxhall Road premises.

'We are passionate to have recommenced the delivery of the same good old fashioned values of excellent customer service and professionalism that the company had under his original ownership and guidance, that made it so successful for so many years.' said Jonathan.

'Each member of our team is specifically trained and dedicated to a relevant role in the sales and marketing process. All customers and clients have their own primary contact to oversee the whole process, keeping them up to date with consistent communication every step of the way.

As an independent agent we have a huge advantage over the national chains with our high level of local staff with local knowledge. By living in the area themselves our staff have a real appreciation of the area and all the benefits it has to offer.

We understand that the sale of a property can be a difficult and stress inducing process, if not handled appropriately. We also truly appreciate the trust placed in us by both buyers and sellers when we are instructed to handle the sale of what is, for most, their largest and most personal asset.

We also know what kinds of properties sell or rent well in certain areas as well as how to achieve the best price. This means that we can pass on that expertise, knowledge and passion to our customers.

Estate agency today is now very fast paced but we are firm believers that an older, wiser, calmer head is still invaluable.

We're members of the Ombudsman for Estate Agents scheme and The Guild of Property Professionals, which means that you can have complete confidence in the quality and integrity of our service. '

As the owner-manager of this company, I want you to be 100% satisfied. So I'll oversee everything to do with your sale, and if you're less than happy, call be directly and we'll do our best to correct it.
