TrustpilotWell... AVOID LIKE A PLAGUE
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.

TrustpilotUnanswered calls and emails
Unanswered calls and emails. Misleading and wrong information in terms of when a tenant was moving then constant attempts to ignore my instructions in order to extract more money. Terrible service avoid if you can.

TrustpilotWinsford Bridgfords...Outstanding Team
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.

TrustpilotBridgfords York
Bridgfords York - lettingsAvoid at all costs They ignore complaints, lose keys, bad mouth landlords, take double payments of commission. Took rent from tenants account after they’d left!!!I have written to their ceo Mark Alcott who like the branch ignore my complaints!The lack of response shows that they truly do not care! All the way up to the top zero customer service. If I could leave a zero star review I would!

TrustpilotUnpleasant experience in First Call
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.

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.

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.

TrustpilotLeeds branch
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

I was interested in a bungalow showing Bridgfords Northallerton Branch as the agents.Two weeks of daily phone calls brought the same recorded voice, "All our agents are busy, leave etc., etc.," which I did - NOTHING - No response of any kind.Send a detailed message on their query form, result- NOTHING.If I was a Seller, and not a Buyer, I would, after reading results on Trust Pilot, never,ever, use them.I am still interested in this bungalow, but, apart from going to the people directly, I can only wish them luck in EVER selling through Bridgfords, unless this is already sold, and they are "too busy" to mark this property as so!Very disappointed, as I registered with them and still never heard anything.The saga continues.....

TrustpilotHappy to waste your time
Awful experience. It started with receiving numerous phone calls despite being informed that I was unavailable that day. My original viewing had been rearranged without my consent or informing me, to a day that I had stated I was unavailable. Resulting in no estate agent showing up to my originally scheduled viewing. When phoned to find out what was happening the estate agent rearranged to later that day, to which they didn't show up again because they had miss placed the keys to the property, resulting in wasting 3 hours of my day off, and untold worry to the sellers. Absolutely disgraceful service, with no respect for their clients time or property.

TrustpilotAvoid this company at all costs
This estate agents are the worst I have ever dealt with. I have had a deposit issue with them since 2022 and this has remained unresolved because the branch manager is very unhelpful, obnoxious and rude. She doesn’t have the word assist or help in her vocabulary. I have had several conversations with her via email but somehow on my recent contact she has sent a reply citing confidentiality. Yet she has sent emails with personal information and details previously. After that she commands you to call the office phone which is never answered.

TrustpilotNeglecting tenants, unprofessional with AWFUL communication
AVOID AVOID AVOID1 star because it's not possible to give 0. I have never experienced such unprofessionalism in my life. *edit 2 years later in 2023 - still dealing with this issue.*- We were given an uninhabitable property to live in. (An emergency issue took over 30 days to be fixed causing a hazard to health and the property)- Out of around 8 issues logged on the portal, only 2 were fixed... one of them taking over a month.- Countless emails sent, to which we waited days and sometimes up to 2 weeks for a useless response, passed around from person to person, no one had any idea what they were doing.- We resulted in ending the tenancy early due to a breach of contract from the estate agents/landlord side.- We moved out of the property over a month ago and we have had no contact since. We are unable to get in touch with them.- We have not heard anything about our deposit being returned.I could honestly go on for a short book's length, but it gets too in-depth for a review platform. My simple advice is to save yourself the hassle.*This is my personal experience with the Middlesbrough Branch*

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.

Chris from Marple Bridgfords!! Chris answered every email I had within 24 hours. He was very understanding about our position during the sale and went above and beyond to speed our sale up when the vendors were dragging their feet! He also kept on top of both ours and the vendors solicitors to keep things moving! Every question I had Chris answered and wasn’t bothered when I kept mithering! He also, rung up to see how we were getting on with the move, which I thought was a very kind gesture! Very happy with Chris’ work with helping us buy a house!

TrustpilotAvoid this agency by all means
Avoid this agency by all means. They attract landlords who will lie to you about the history of the property and it’s current state (mine was infested with massive rats which the landlord claim to know nothing about until I called exterminators who found evidence from a different extermination team)The staff will make promises to you and not fulfil them ( I agreed to take a contract pending they would clean the property, however it was inhabitable for 3 days before the landlord arrived to clean. Agency promised to refund those three days but choose to ignore this state 6 months down the line and this cost me money as the tenant.I have never written a review in my life and I’ve rented for 10+ now and I have experience a lot. I would never recommend this agency even to my worse enemy.

TrustpilotWorst renting experience in our lives.
Worst experience we’ve ever had as tenants. We rent a property from Bridgfords lettings Durham Branch. We’ve rented property for many years but have never been in this situation before. We’ve been living without hot running water for months now (comes out the tap like ice). The boiler stopped working in December. Bridgfords sent out an engineer who got the central heating working but couldn’t get the hot water to work. The engineer told Bridgfords that the boiler needs replacing. They still haven’t replaced it. To top it all, they’ve been deceptive in the emails they’ve sent, stating in February that they’d contacted an engineer to fit the boiler and that we should “look out for our phone ringing” only to be now told that they’re “waiting for a cheque to clear”.I can only think the 2.5 stars is because shortly after moving in they badger you with emails to give them a Trustpilot review before you’ve had a chance to see their true colours. Appalling, not worth 1 star.
