Bridgfords Reviews 

Bamber Bridge Office

Just a note to say a huge thank you to Jayne and Lisa, this is the third house they have sold for us throughout the years - and each within 6 weeks. They have always taken care of everything from viewings through to sales and always go above and beyond to assist us as our family has grown.

Huge thank you for everything.

Lindsay and Steve

Aneeka in Sale was very helpful, welcoming, and knowledgable during our appointment yesterday. She arrived promptly, and was passionate in ensuring great customer service was provided, including assisting us with measurements.

Georgia helped with the application and viewings efficiently. She answered questions and Mason took our details promptly. No concerns.

There's a For Sale sign been up on a house we've passed a few times over the past 2 weeks but can't find it on their website or Rightmove. I rang one of the branches to be told, indignantly, I'd rang the wrong office. I pointed out that there is no local office and as this one is relatively close by, I thought I'd try them. He said he had 'no idea' but he'd look. Terrible telephone manner, told him I'd look myself. Tried another office and was told it's not being marketed yet as the owner has been choosing the photos. Fair enough but I asked why the sign was up and was told because it's for sale. Very confusing. Sort yourselves out Bridgfords. Glad you aren't selling our house!

Never again. Nothing more to say - just awful.

We used Bridgford's in Halifax to sell our property. My main concern with them was that they hardly ever answered the telephone and relied upon an answer machine. Add onto this the fact that on numerous occasions they didn't return our calls. They didn't manage to sell our property and we do wonder if prospective buyers calls weren't returned either.
Secondly feedback from them on enquiries, market data and ongoing support and advice was non existent.
Overall customer service was poor to say the least.

Well, where do I start? I don't recommend this agency at all. All the agents are useless. Customer service, professionalism is lacking at Bridgfords. We rented a property back in 2022, that we had to leave because mould and MICE both h&s hazards weren't solved and reported to the council (with someone vulnerable in the property). The flat was very dirty when we move in and now they are trying to charge us for the cleaning. They painted the flat and now they are trying to get this from our deposit. ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING. we have tried our best to solve these issues, but they have no decency. They always try to blame the landlord but I don't even think the landlord is aware at this point. please look for another agency and make yourself a favour.

We're yet to get a moving date, but from the day we contacted Bridgfords in Winsford through to now our experience has been positive and happy. We have our emotional reasons for moving, and the whole team (Lauren, Paul, Nicky and Mandy) have been there for us. Our sale fell through at one point, and they went into emergency mode, securing another buyer within a week. Paul, Nicky and Mandy worked on the property side of things, with support from Lauren, who was also our Mortgage Advisor. They have all been engaging, personable and very supportive through this process. They work fantastic as a close-knit team. Thanks so much! We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

Manj found us a new tennant very quickly and negotiated a significant increase in rent. He has been by far the most effective person we have dealt with at Bridgfords

I dealt with Ruari, who by the way gave the most incredible experience. He went above and beyond to help assist me with my needs. 10/10
Im writing this review as the kid deserves the acknowledgment!

Excellent service from friendly staff at bridgfords burnley. Kept informed every step of the way.Dealt with any query instantly and went out of their way to help.

Looking at the other reviews seems to be a consistent theme with Manchester branch.

I spoke with your staff member (Mrs Flynn) from the Manchester City Centre branch about Flat 11, 53 Whitworth Street, M1 3WS property (link below) and found them quite aggressive to the point where I had to disconnect the call.

I viewed the property on Friday, 25th August and had the follow-up call with another team member (Mr Stanton) from a different office who was exceptionally helpful and advised me to email/speak with the concerned member about the offer.

Following an email, I spoke with Lydia on Tuesday, 29th August. I pointed out that properties with an EPC rating of D or above would need reviewing post-2024 as per government guidelines for listed buildings. I own another property nearby in a Grade 2 building.

The staff member disagreed which is not a problem but their tone of voice was aggressive. Following this, I pointed out that the water heater in the flat was broken for a long time and we couldn't see an electrical certificate - she didn't want to pursue the conversation as apparently the 'tenant did not report it'.

I was planning to put in a counteroffer but will now be backing out as do not want to deal with the person and consequentially Bridgefords.

Hope this can help improve their future processes.

If there was a minus adoption for our experience I would have posted -10.
Shocking experience from the day we were handed the keys to a rental property from the manchester branch
Flat Hanes over in an appallingly condition not fit for a pig!
Subsequent customer service without exception the work that I have experience having run my own business for the past 25yrs. AVOID

Appalling service and very unprofessional letting services ,
My wife and I signed up with Bridgeford (Withington office) to find a tenant for our BTL property and things went from bad to worst as we were constantly chasing them for update with progress with no response to our email and their phone was always diverted to an answering machine ,
Eventually they found us a tenant and the tenant was moved in on 3rd of Aug but we had to wait until 13th of Aug to receive our rent after chasing them repeatedly plus we are still awaiting payment of DPS monies which we have signed up to our own DPS scheme to secure the holding deposit .
After talking to tenants I also found out they had paid the deposit and first month rent at the end of July hoping to move in on 1st of Aug and they were very dissatisfied with Bridgfords handling their process of moving in on 1st of Aug as promised .
We used their let -only service and Bridgeford should have released the rent and deposit monies upon letting the property promptly .
In hindsight I should have checked their trust pilot review before employing their services .
As a landlord I will not be recommending them to any of our friends and fellow landlords.

Stay Away !!
Untrustworthy and remember NO verbal agrements of repairs etc are kept.Cause they will charge you and then ignore you.In my experience No cleaning and No repairs will be carried out after you have signed your contract and paid them your hard earned money.STAY AWAY !!

Bridgfords Gosforth - categorically the worst letting agents I have ever dealt with. They were very efficient at getting credit checks completed and the rent and deposit organised. After that though the service was appalllng. We picked up they keys a few days before we moved in and noticed a wash basin in the ensuite was smashed, and the premises was generally dirty (not mentioned on the inventory). Rang and advised - and said they could access the property to repair if necessary. It was not repaired when I moved in and I was advised this was because I needed to report through their portal. In the first week I had to report repairs - washing machine not plumbed in, broken toilet seats, kitchen cupboards so dilapidated the drawers fell out when opened, gas fire not working, thermostats missing/broken on radiators, ventilation fans not working plus the smashed basin. It took them 7 weeks to get some of the repairs done, the remainder were outstanding when I left 6 months later. I chased and chased but just got told they aren't priority repairs (repairs on white goods are supposed to be prioritised). Once I handed my notice in they were super efficient at arranging viewings to get some other poor fool to pay £850 to live in a cold badly maintained property.
Although I have seen a copy of the check out report which mentioned lots of issues, all of which predated my tenancy, I have never had confirmation that the Land Lord is happy ( They brow beat me into taking a zero deposit arrangement which was very expensive so I don't have a deposit to come back)
All in all swift to take your money slow to respond to issues and communications demonstrate how little they care about their tenants. I cannot recommend highly enough that you avoid this business like the plague.

Everything went smoothly and Ellie was a joy to deal with

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude for the exceptional service and efficiency in handling the rental procedures for my new accommodation. I truly appreciate the efforts made by you and your team to ensure a smooth process, despite the complexities involved in my case. As a non-British citizen transitioning from being a student, I was very concerned that the rental process might be challenging and time-consuming. However, you went above and beyond to guide me through the necessary steps and paperwork, making the entire process seamless and stress-free.
Once again, thank you for making this crucial transition in my life so smooth and hassle-free.

Lovely friendly staff, very helpful and patient. They helped with the conveyancing process as a lot has changed after covid and Ziggy you was a star thanks for your support.

Leeds branch, absolutely awful, unprofessional, unethical. I could go on. They should be ashamed of the callous way they treated my daughter and her partner. Credit check complete, told they could move in today. They hired a van and packed all belongings including furniture and pets. On the way up the motorway they were told there might be a problem. Things unfolded, numerous phone calls and eventually they were told the landlord wasn't happy to rent to them any more. They were left with a rental van which had to go back to London, a mountain of belongs and pets, but nowhere to put it all, I can't concieve of treating a fellow human being in this way. Don't use this agent
