Bridgfords Lettings reviews

Negative experience unfortunately.

Negative experience unfortunately.While they sold my house and met their contractual obligations, the communication and service from Pauline was poor.Close to completion, I spoke to the manager Nicola, evidenced the issues I faced and I offered what I believed to be a fair 80%. Unfortunately she didn’t agree, which meant it was escalated to the ombudsman.The ombudsman agreed to my 80% “As a gesture of goodwill In recognition of the communication issues faced and visits to my property without prior consent”.Very disappointed with the service but was more disappointed that the Macclesfield branch would accept no responsibility and see things through my eyes when I tried, amicably, to reason with Nicola and provided evidence. People make mistakes and things happen in business, but she was having none of it and for me it was the principle of the matter.Based on other Macclesfield position reviews this may well have been a one off, I’ve purchased before with Pauline and she was great then.One advice I would give is don’t be afraid to speak up to them - even if they don’t reply to you - it’s your sale, time and money and you have a right to receive good communication. I regret not escalating things earlier in the process.

Bridgfords Stockport

Bridgfords Stockport, dealt with Katherine Hancock who was unbelievably unhelpful. First of all told me i couldnt cancel as i was in a 12 month contract which was untrue it was a 6 month contract.Said i had to give 2 months notice as i could only give a month from my billing date, which was wrong again.Kept advising i needed to speak to my landlord for issues they could deal with.Finally i left my flat in better condition than when i entered. Landlord wont return deposit, when asking Bridgford to help they've advises its nothing to do with them.

Avoid

Unfortunately, i read these reviews quite late and I am in agreement with all the negative opinions about Bridgfords Withington. We tried to buy a flat, but when we told them that we have our own mortgage advisor, the communication stopped. When we tried to get updates, they would try to discourage us to continue. They went on making an offer for our maximum budget, despite only having 1 additional buyer who offered 25k less than us. Dishonesty/ lack of transparency and totally unprofessionalism, especially Richard/ Hammad. I am happy I did not use their services, and I now select properties which are not in their portfolio. Quite sure the seller has received a lower offer as well, which is a shame as the flat was superb. Avoid!

Dan helped us move into a house during the first lockdown, at the peak of when everyone was moving and properties were getting rented out within seconds. Our experiences with other estate agents at the time were not great, as they were incredibly busy due to the high demand. Dan certainly was not free from this, as we know there was a huge amount of interest in the house we were looking at with him. Despite that, Dan was able to provide us with brilliant service - very warm, friendly, and supportive guidance throughout the whole process. Dan was also very patient, even though he definitely didn't have to be given the demand! We very much felt that Dan had our best interests in mind throughout, and also the landlord's interests, and ultimately we were able to move in successfully and have since really loved our new home and loved our landlords as well!

Finding a house to rent through Bridgfords, Alderley Edge, was the most positive experience. Daniel Gentles carefully listened to my extensive list of requirements and matched me and my daughter to the perfect place. As I was new to the area, his expertise and guidance was much appreciated. We’ve been in the house now for 5 weeks and we are extremely happy with our new home. Dan is highly professional and reliable, keeping me informed through the rental process. I would be delighted to recommend Dan, and Bridgfords, to anyone looking for a new home.PositiveProfessionalism

Recently moved into a rental property, dealt with by Louise. I have to say, that from start to finish, it couldn’t have gone any smoother. Louise went above and beyond in making this move as stress free as possible. Highly recommend.

We asked Bridgfords to value our property and the response from Melody was immediate and helpful. There was no pressure to sell until we were ready. When the time came to put our house on the market we were steered through the procedure of selling by Melody and her team. They were always helpful, courteous and quick to respond to any questions. They went beyond the call of duty to help with some of the legal aspects. The whole process wasn’t easy, for reasons beyond anyone’s control, but Melody, Helen, Susan and Vivian did their utmost to keep things on track until eventually the buying and selling was completed and, thankfully, we were able to move into a house which suited us and which they had helped us to find.

I am very happy to recommend the team at Bridgfords Estate Agents in Alderley Edge. Right from the initial contact with Melody, I have had great advice on pricing, marketing and exceptional service throughout. I felt that nothing was too much trouble at any time throughout the selling process. I was always treated in a very professional way and found all the staff there to be extremely helpful, even though my purchaser was particularly awkward. Thank you Melody, Sue, & Viv for all your efforts.

Stalybridge branch over promised under achieved

Put my property up for sale with them all they do is over promise, the staff have no idea, couldn’t accept any feed back and very patronising, everything was a struggle after 3 viewings in 7 months took house of the market with them. Absolutely useless as a manager of 40 years if they worked for me they would all be unemployed.Stalybridge branch over promised and under achieved.

Very happy with sale via Bridgfords Swinton

Very please with the service and result of selling my mother’s house via Bridgfords Swinton. Mike was knowledgeable and efficient. His sale price estimate was 20% higher than another local firm but he managed to achieve it. He also arranged to visit mum in her care home to complete the paperwork. Happy to recommend.

Branch staff good, conveyancing beyond horrendous

Started the journey of selling my flat with Bridgfords well, great listing, quickly found a buyer, then Bridgfords conveyancing service took over and was incompetent at every turn. 6 months on from accepting an offer I’ve had to end the sale as my mental health couldn’t handle anymore of the misleading, lies and gaslighting from their conveyancers. Was so bad even the branch staff said they were embarrassed at how bad it was.

If I could put 0 I would

If I could put 0 I would. My cousin gave notice that he was giving up the flat due to family and health issues. Before he was able to remove his things (within a week) they have taken his belonging and given only some clothing back. They have stolen a family air loom watch (Rolex) , cash that was for Christmas, not given back any expensive trainers .. they have drip fed some things back since like the tvs and yet to receive the Xbox, they have photos of his stuff on their report which they haven’t given back. They are not to be trusted . They are proceeding to trade non ethically and illegally. Reports to police have been made. They prey on vulnerable people

Bridgfords and Josie were absolutely fantastic to deal with. With it being my first time buying a house they were incredibly helpful and caring. They listened to my needs and also highlighted things I'd never thought I needed! It was a joy to deal with them and I would definitely recommend to a friend/family member the next time they are looking to move. Thanks Guys!

I wrote an email to one of their sales colleagues about a viewing who wouldn't open the door to me. The sales colleague never responded back to my email. Plus they've not bothered to notife me about a property I was interested in but is now sold!

Bridgfords Gosforth

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.

I can honestly say that this is the best dealing I have had with an estate agent. Daniel was super professional, so helpful, and came back to me straight away regarding my questions. He was thorough in checking everything. I did a virtual viewing due to the current COVID situation and Dan put my mind at ease. Just fab! Thank you 🙏PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

would not recommend this company to any landlord. The fees are extremely high, with additional charges that are not always made clear from the outset. Communication is poor, and it is often very difficult to get hold of staff when you need support or answers.

Excellent Service

After using other Agents locally for many years, I have got to say the service I received from the team at Cheadle hulme was outstanding. From the minute I spoke to Jemma I knew I was experiencing a different level of service. I dealt with Louise who kept me update and informed through every viewing, just superb, snd not forgetting Liam who when I had any queries dealt with them immediately- Thankyou to the whole amazing team, you will now have my other houses to let. 5 ⭐️
