Bridgfords Reviews 

The worst experience I have ever had with an agency.
They are rude and not professional.
They pretended to have the money via call before I even received a proper contract for the flat.
Then, they told me to get the keys and find the flat by myself. They did not even show me where the flat is.
I will avoid to have deals with them in the future.

We sold our flat with Bridgfords Swinton and the experience with them was terrible from start to finish. They over-valued our property by £15,000, meaning that when our buyers applied for their mortgage they refused to give them their full amount, causing us to have to sell the property for £15,000 less as we didn’t have the time to put the property back in the market due to our chain. We had further issues with our buyers’ mortgage application causing a huge delay in the sale, and we actually ending up initially losing our forward purchase due to this. Throughout this whole nightmare Bridgfords were absolutely useless. We told them time and time again to call my partner instead of me, due to our professions, and they constantly ignored this and rang me.

We had to deal with our buyers directly as Bridgfords had very little communication with either of us, and would actually ring us to ask for an update on our buyers situation! Causing us more stress and an extra party to deal with and update. Whenever we spoke with Bridgfords they had absolutely no idea what was going on and couldn’t keep track of any part of the sale. They were by far more of a hinderance than a help.

They also didn’t conduct any showings of our flat themselves (as they had initially sold to us) and we had to do every showing as whenever we asked them they said they were busy. They charged us £2,200 for the pleasure of all of this.

Overall, if we ever come to sell again we will be sure to steer clear of Bridgfords and would highly advise others do the same.

I had a very bad experience with one of their estate agent in cheadle hulme. Be aware of Omara, she views you the property and stands still and doesn't even puts up an effort to speak or show the property. A pure lack of training and wonder how bridgfords keep a check? On top, if there's other properties to see, they'd give you excuses and never deliver what they promise, delays on delays. I guess barely they have good agents and mostly its all bad. Its pitty to know what such companies has such employee who works as if they are forced to do so.

Daniel Bright surpassed my expectations with his exceptional service. Right from the beginning, I felt valued and supported as a customer. His professionalism and attentiveness were remarkable, ensuring a smooth experience. I wholeheartedly recommend Bridgfords to anyone searching for reliable and dedicated assistance in renting property.

Horrendous experience with Bridgfords as a buyer. While being shown a property by Bridgfords in Knaresborough, we were told by the estate agent that there is no need to do a survey on the property as the previous interested party had done one and there was nothing to worry about. I found this very unprofessional and alarm bells were ringing and rightly so as it later turned out that the house was built from a non-standard construction. At a later date we viewed another property with Bridgfords and this time communication was a serious issue, it was extremely difficult to get hold of anyone in the office, often we would call and the phone would be picked up and then instantly slammed down, we would walk past the office and see plenty of staff in the office and our calls being ignored. We ended up missing out on the property as we were simply unable to get through to them. Overall, an extraordinarily poor experience.

Beware! If you are a first time buyer bridgfords Stalybridge will not let you buy a property unless they do a mortgage through them, they are not interested in anything other than selling you a mortgage and the rates they offer are rubbish, they just offer the one which pays them the most comission! They are also rude and ignore calls and emails AVOID

My experience with Bridgfords Letting Agents in Newcastle was nothing short of disappointing. As a landlord, I expect a certain level of service and professionalism, none of which were demonstrated by Bridgfords Newcastle branch. I would strongly advise against using their services and will be seeking alternatives for my property management needs in the future.

Do not under any circumstances go with these! They will steal from you. They never asked prior to us applying whether we would need a guarantor and because it became obvious we did after application they decided not to go with us and stole our holding deposit from us. We a family with a small child and a baby on its way and they refused to give us our money back. They wouldn't budge a little bit. Not even offer a little bit back. Horrible estate agent that will rob you blind. Do not trust them!!!!

Rebecca Farnell was very excellent, from the day of the viewing till the day it was concluded. she was friendly, kind, and her customer services skill was fantastic as well. i reckon you give her a raise. well done.

My tenancy ended on 9th Jan and I emailed Bridgfords to ask how I go about getting my deposit back.
Emailed again on 15th Jan saying there had been no reply received to my request.
An agent did respond so say someone from the deposit team would be in touch.
Chased again on 22nd Jan advising that nothing had been heard - to date zero response.
They were very good when it came to take my money. There can be no excuse for the lack of engagement. A dispute has been raised with MyDeposit.

We highly recommend Bridgfords - Whitby. Maddie, Victoria and the team are amazing. They are very approachable, friendly, have excellent communication and also very knowledgeable on the area and of the market.

Do not use this company. We setup a viewing of a property which without any contact they did not attend. Since this time I have been called several times saying that I have requested a viewing of my property which I have never done and have regularly asked for my details to be removed from their database but keep receiving more calls.

We arranged for Jonathon, the manager, from the Swinton branch to come out and value our property for rent & sale. We agreed a time to meet at the property as we don’t live there anymore and Jonathan didn’t show up. Called 3 times and no one answered. Rude and no respect for anyone else’s time.

Getting my apartment was seamless with bridgfords. I appreciate and love the unwavering efforts of their staff DANIEL who attended to me and put me through everything from start to finish

Thank you

I wouldn’t recommend. They set you up with an energy supplier even though you withdraw from an application. I didn’t even sign the contract and they raised an account without my consent. I had to be on the phone for almost an hour to close an account I didn’t even set up which will take 6-8 weeks with OVO. The staff at Stockport are lovely but I got spoken to like I was a child when I called up asking why this happened by Katherine when in the past she’s been nice. I don’t recommend Bridgfords. 👎🏾

Terrible agency in Leeds!! Terrible communication!!!
Been booked for viewing, saying tenant not free and postpone to next day. And then next day no show again, when I call they said tenant not free again and need to postpone to the next day again.. on the 3rd day once again they cancelled my viewing saying the property was taken.. without telling.

I do understand flat/house goes fast, the problem is they are time wasters and never notice u when situation changed! All three days i have to find out myself the viewing booking was cancelled..... I do not live in city center and need to spend time and money to travel to viewing.. and the staff who pick up the phone is really rude and unprofessional! They have so many excuses.

Luckily we didn't work with them i guess. If we did rent from them, can't imagine how disaster it will be. Be ware of!!!

Staff from their Manchester office made an unsolicited call to me asking if I would move my property to their estate agent so they could market it for me. When I declined. He preceded to pressure me. When he wasn’t going to get what he wanted, he decided to insult me and drop the phone on me. I called back requesting for an apology, but the lady I spoke to tried to cover for the rude guy. Avoid this company, they are no good.

Avoid.

Politely & calmly registered a complaint within the Penketh/Westbrook Warrington branch after our doorbell camera recorded a Bridgefords employee needlessly verbally insulting us whilst at the front of our property.
All members of staff informed have been dismissive & even whilst we have the evidence no formal apology has been given by the member of staff involved.
I find the lack of accountability on a basic decent human behaviour level to be rude, unprofessional & has made our experience with Bridgefords unpleasant.

The Property management company in Manchester is an absolute disgrace and very unprofessional.
I have serious issues with my apartment for the last 4 weeks and nothing has been done I’ve sent over 10 emails to the property manager and getting fobbed off by Bridgfords and the Landlord
That’s the trouble with Landlords good enough to take my money but when it comes to maintaining issue they simply ignore you.
I’ve now forwarded all my emails to a property ombudsman

A professional, knowledgeable and proactive letting agents, have used Bridgfords for many years’ and will continue to do so. Louise and Sue deserve a special mention for their attention to detail and service beyond their job requirement.
