You're a star Ellie

Just wanted to mention the first Class service received by Ellie in the Tynemouth office. She is more than helpful every time I speak to her. I am a Landlady and despite the extremely expensive charges Bridgefords have for every aspect of Letting, it is Ellie who is polite, extremely efficient, always pleasant and a delight to deal with. Service like this needs to be recognised ...Ellie should run the office as nothing is ever too much trouble. I was visiting recently from London and Ellie was off, sadly. Other staff were on the phone and didn't even acknowledge I was there! so rude considering the money I pay them. I am in the Property business myself, so know how people expect to be treated. Well done Ellie, you are an asset to Tynemouth!

Lee Johnson from Countrywide…

We met Lee Johnson from Countrywide without any knowledge about house buying or what is needed to make it happen. He enabled us to create our credit profile as we had never had credit before and needed this to get a mortgage. He told us everything about getting the maximum we can afford from our salaries, making sure we had the best mortgage provider/rate and also ensuring that if anything bad was to happen, the house and our earnings would be covered and the house would be paid for! Lee I cannot thank you enough for enabling me and my wife go from renting to homeowners with peace of mind. Especially during a time of mortgage uncertainty (late 2022). Fantastic work! I highly recommend Lee to anyone who is either new to buying/selling or is seeking advice on what to do! THANK YOU! You have made our journey effortless.

I had an appointment booked for today at 2.p.m with the view to put my house on the market so I would be in a position to make an offer on a viewing tomorrow. I received a call around 1.30 to inform me that the agent is running 30 minutes late, making the expected visit for 2.30. 3.15 came. I rang the agents to be told she's not attending. To rub salt in the wounds furthermore I was told she couldn't come to me because of traffic and she would make the visit after me late. Viewing cancelled as I had wasted my day off waiting round for nothing.

Sam is very efficient and nothing is too hard for her even if it’s outside her job description- she will find someone who can help and I don’t know what I would have done without Sam in the last few months leading to my purchase!!!!!!!! what a credit to the business her name deserves to be in shining lights!!!! Thank you Sam for an amazing service and for ongoing support. You have gone above and beyond the call of duty, Bridgfords is very lucky to have someone of your calibre as an employee!!!!! Wow!!!!

Contractors should avoid at all costs!

Contractors should avoid at all costs!! We fitted a cylinder in a property for this agent, and have received no payment, now three month overdue. They tried to pass us onto the landlord when we’ve worked direct with them. We’ve still heard nothing, despite numerous calls, emails, complaints. We will be forced to get a debt recovery involved. Would not recommend working for them!

Just sold my house with Bridgfords in Withington and couldn't fault them. They communicated with me regularly, kept me updated with the sale, chased solicitors up when needed and supported me throughout the process. Huge thanks to the Withington team, especially Richard, Sadaf, David and James. Excellent service from a very helpful team.

Bridgfords Disley were fantastic!!!!!

We sold our home through Bridgfords in Disley. They were fantastic! After being on the market for over seven months with another agent, we asked Mike to come and value our property. They sold it in a day of it going on the market!

STAY AWAY!!!! SCAMMERS!!!!

Why I need to give them one rate star. They don't deserve even for 0.Scammers and unprofessionalls.September 1st I should have moved to a rented flat in Manchester. On the pics and you tube short movie sent by this agency( which are old to attract attention !!!) everything looks very nice.In the reality completely different. Place is not in a good condition to live in, not even in a basic. It's not health and safety. Flat had not been cleaned after previous tenant or even tenants(if someone really lived before). Inspection had not been done before my moving date. Mould is everywhere in the flat, walls are dirty (black),gas cooker is damaged, knobs pop out and using of it may cause fire and even explosion, there is no possibility to open windows, in case of a gas leaking or dense smoke there's no chance to make flow of air, in case of a fire the only one way to escape is through main door only, smell of this flat is disgusting, grouty mould in the bathroom. Old, dirty mattress with stains. Old shaking wardrobe that may collapse and cause injury. A devastated piece of furniture inside the room. Living there may cause serious health and safety problems.Flat should have been prepared before moving. But no one did anything.Letting agent/Landlord was not in the flat during moving in. Key collection in the branch. Flat looks like an abandoned place!!!!Straight away I gave termination to the landlord due to negligence.I asked for a full refund but they are not (letting agency/ landlord)willingness to do this.I recorded video and took some pictures (if someone would like to see, pls contact me)One week after my moving date agency sent cleaners (8th September)cleaners to that flat. Next day I came there to take a look at a result. Cleaners done - bathtube, toilet. In the kitchen - worktops, cupboards and top of the gas cooker.Knobs from the gas cooker poped out as previously.Walls not even touched. Mould still there. Rest as I mentioned above.I returned keys to the letting agency.Next week (Monday 12Sep) I received an email from letting agency that landlord agreed to release me from the contract but wants to keep my deposit which I think in these matter is absolutely not fair.I'm feeling scammed depressed,broken down and humiliated.If you will find good place in a very attractive price and want to arrange viewings then agency usually will never give you any response or send response that flat/house is not available anymore.If you call them and say you're interested and ready to pay then you attract attention.Agency and landlord earned money and have you deep in their ......!!!!Shame I can't puy in here pics and movie.I lost £1290. Luckily I could come back to my former place. Otherwise I would be homeless or had to move into that ruin place.STAY AWAY and RUN AWAY!!!!! Not worth your health. Do not waste your time.Branch in Chorlton, Manchester

Bridgfords

Extremely unprofessional company.Absolutely no communication skills with each other (or with us as the landlords). This resulted in us losing money, and money being taken incorrectly on several occasions.Whenever an issue was raised with Stephen, we had to send numerous emails over weeks to receive any answers as to what was going on. They always had to be chased up, and would never email on their own to let us know what was happening.When an issue had been raised, some staff would send patronising emails, rather than trying to solve the issue, especially Chloe and Lauren. This was just another area of unprofessionalism that was shown.A company that was sent to take photos to assess damage to the property was appalling. They 'forgot' to take photographs of important areas that had been damaged, such as the flooring that had come up.A tenant reported a leak to the company, which was not reported to us at all (again a lack of communication). This resulted in us having to pay over 1500 pounds for a new floor.We were told that no further money was owed to the company, and all that was left to sort was the amount of deposit money that would be returned to us for damages to the property. When we received this, hundreds of pounds had been deducted from the company, with no explanation as to what this was and why this was deducted.On another occasion, we told the company not to carry out an annual gas check as the tenant was leaving. They ignored this, did not even bother to let us know that they had carried this out until over 2 months later when we continuously questioned what was going on. We never received this money back, and despite emails proving the lack of communication, not even an apology was given.It became extremely obvious that this is simply a money making business, with no regard for the customer. We originally had Bridgfords in full control of the property, however with every necessary repair, they would always quote ridiculous amounts compared to any other company that we dealt with. They tried to take money off us at every opportunity, again with a lack of explanation and no actual service.We have numerous properties, and would definitely not recommend this company, or use them to manage any of our properties in the future. A huge improvement in communication and professionalism needs to be made.

They rented me a house at 26 Jefferson Walk ST16 1WF and I listened to construction noises for 1 year and they forced me to sign an additional contract for 1 year even though I told them before. They tried to rent me this house above market prices. When I left, they had no other choice so they rented it to others at a lower price. They are not honest and try to rip people off. Also, do not trust the zero deposit system, they work together and try to get money from you

Shocking! Viewed a couple of apartments a few weeks ago, we said we were interested but the estate agent (Louise) didn’t have the answers we required and said that she would email them to us. A few days passed but this never happened. So I sent a follow up email about a week later only to receive a short blunt reply again stating that she didn’t know!? Several weeks have now passed and I’m still waiting and yes the apartments are both still available on their website! Appalling customer service!

Had to call numerous times over two days before someone answered, waited a week for the viewing to be called two two hours before for confirmation I was attending, then one hour before they call again and cancel because someones car broke down. Absolute pants.

I honestly cannot thank Dan and the team enough for all their help in finding my perfect property. Dan understood my needs and went the extra mile to ensure these were met. His friendly professional manner made the whole experience a very positive one and I would highly recommend Dan and the team.

Excellent Customer Service

I visited a number of estate agents in Halifax Centre last week and Bridgfords were the best by far. On entry I was welcomed by Courtney who went above and beyond to help me with my enquiry. She took my details and added me to the mailing list for updates and has been actively sending properties that may be of interest to me ever since. Her colleague Alix was also really helpful. You can feel that the culture here is all about the people & customer. The estate agent I went to prior (not mentioning any names but very, very close to Bridgfords) had me sitting around for 10 minutes whilst on a call then reluctantly gave me a print out of a property that already had 25 people booked to view the next day (a pointless exercise, just fob me off why don't you) He didn't even take my details and I felt as though he couldn't wait to go for his lunch. Now that's what bad customer service. But Bridgfords do not deserve bad press. May I urge you to please take no notice of the bad reviews below because the team here are warm, welcoming & lovely and good at what they do so keep you heads high, because you deserve a big well done! :)

Glad I wasn’t the seller

Tried to book a viewing of a property that had been on the market for almost a year. Had to call twice before I got a response. They couldn’t offer anything sooner than a week after my call. No wonder the house hadn’t sold.
