Foxtons Richmond and Twickenham Estate Agents
Walking into a Foxtons office is like walking into a Vodafone store that suddenly started selling houses. It’s all glass desks, tablets, and people who greet you with the enthusiasm of a golden retriever. They’ll offer you a “complimentary coffee,” but don’t be fooled. That coffee is a trap. Once you’re sipping it, they’ll slide a contract across the table faster than you can say “I’m just looking.”
But here’s the truth: they’re good at what they do. Annoyingly good. In Richmond, they sold a houseboat for £1.2 million in 2026. A houseboat! It had a leaky engine and a toilet that flushed into the Thames. But the agent said it had “riverfront charm” and “a view of the sunset that’s simply priceless.” Translation: you get to watch the sunset while your toilet water floats downstream.

Local Heroes or Green Villains?
Locals love to hate Foxtons. It’s a sport. You’ll hear comments like, “They only care about the commission!” and “Their offices smell like corporate ego.” But here’s the surprising fact: according to Foxtons’ own data, over 60% of their sales in Twickenham are to existing local buyers. That means your neighbors are using them. If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em—or at least laugh at their funny cars.
One agent in Richmond once admitted to me that he practiced his “selling smile” in the mirror every morning. He called it “The Foxtons Grip.” I don’t know if I should be horrified or impressed. Probably both.
