Bridgfords Denton team! 5*Denton branch team was extremely helpful, professional and pleasure to dealing with. They helped me to make my move to a new property within a couple of weeks and supported me throughout, including communication with all the suppliers. Megan was absolutely brilliant, she showed great support and care, professional approach in a timely manner. I would highly recommend.

GoogleAbsolute waste of space. I spent hours calling the office at the beginning of the week to arrange a viewing. After a lengthy discussion I finally arranged a viewing for this morning for myself, my partner and 2 children. We sat across the road from the property for 10 minutes in the pouring rain before calling to find out where the estate agent was. They had no idea and suggested they were probably stuck in traffic (there was no traffic) after 25 minutes we called again and were told that the agent had cancelled the viewing (they had made no attempt to contact me despite having email and phone contact details that they took from me after making me register with them to view). On asking to speak to the manager we were then told that the missing estate agent is the manager. I have still received no contact from them to explain what happened
Good afternoon Sally, I am sorry to read that this was your experience. If you would like to please provide us with further details so we can investigate this for you, please e-mail us at review@countrywide.co.uk. Once again I would like to apologise about your experience. Kind regards, Scott.

TrustpilotI wouldn’t recommend
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. 👎🏾

TrustpilotTerrible communication!
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!!!

TrustpilotRude staff
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.

I have just finalised my offer to rent a flat in Manchester. The team at bridgfords have been helpful the entire journey. Peter, the lettings rep, stayed in constant communication with me during the whole process and made it very easy. I completed this offer whilst out of the country and needed it to go smoothly. Peter ensured this happened. Great service

TrustpilotAvoid.
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.

A lady named Lisa (Bamber Bridge Branch) could not have been more helpful going that extra mile to help us look for a rental property for our parents. Thank you Lisa. I hope she gets the recognition she deserves.

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. 10/10Im writing this review as the kid deserves the acknowledgment!

A one star rating is too good for this business! Completely inept from the agent to their so-called professional mortgage broker. Allowed seller's solicitor to harass and bully me and also bombarded me with messages whilst at work but didn't answer calls when I tried to contact them. I am now out of pocket as seller has withdrawn the property even though it still shows for sale.

TrustpilotConfusing marketing
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!

TrustpilotAvoid Like The Plague!
If you are looking for a professional, hassle and stress free service from your estate agent then steer well clear of Bridgefords (Culcheth Warrington).

Just over a year dealing with house sale, took 4 buyers to achieve each pulling out for various reasons. Very patient and communicative throughout whole process. Staff always very professional and helpful. Would recommend Cheadle Hulme branch.

TrustpilotBridgford's Halifax
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.

GoogleAVOID AVOID AVOID. Waited to view a property on Saturday 1 July. Nobody turned up. Left a message whilst at the property as no answer on the land line. No response to this. It’s now Tuesday following. I’ve just left a further message. I wonder if they will care to respond.
Hello, I am sorry if you were not happy in your experience with us. We would really appreciate any feedback which you can leave by emailing review@countrywide.co.uk, as we take all comments seriously. Kind regards, Lucy, Customer Relations.

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.

Thank you so much to Lyndsy McGlade at Bridgfords in Chorley - absolutely fantastic service from start to finish - couldn’t have asked for better. Incredibly professional & speedy letting of our property - went over and above to get the job done. Highly recommend!

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.

TrustpilotAppalling service and very…
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.
