GoogleWas warned about Bridgfords being the worst in the business and had first hand experience. Just glad we never bought through them in the end. Rude, lacking basic customer service and courtesy, don’t bother ringing you back, make up daft excuses, the list goes on. Best was one of their colleagues eating breakfast at her desk. I mean come on, that’s basic isn’t it. First impressions etc!
Not interested in you unless you’re using their products/services.
Awful experience, keep clear

GoogleQuite pushy to use their in house services, and when I did - I was charged extra fees as they set me up with different in house solicitors. There was also a missed appointment during the process where I'd arranged childcare for nothing? Had to use Bridgfords as the property I was buying was through them, but wouldn't sell through them.

GoogleIf I could give less I would, they contracted me after I put my house on with someone else, not sure where they got my details from. I said no as I had a bad experience with Bridgefords before. Didn't ask what this was, but talked over me asking if I knew what cooling off meant so I could drop the estate agents I was already with!
Despite me asking them to not contact me again, continued to send me post and call. Awful.

GoogleWe got the keys to our first ever home outside of renting on Monday and we’re so excited to get to the stage where we can move in officially. Many thanks to Caitlin for being the one to show us around the property and get the ball rolling on the process and my gratitude goes out to Victoria for walking us through our mortgage plans. Without you both we wouldn’t be at this stage. Thankyou so much. Josh, Helen and Bernie the cat x

GoogleStacy was pretty awful to deal with and she is evidently incompetent at her job. Not only did she waste our time but didn't even bother try to offer any other viewings. Completely uninterested in being a little bit helpful. I would give 0 stars if this was an option.

GoogleDespite best efforts chasing for answers from one of their staff members and three subsequent chasers to the branch manager, and on every occasion their promise to follow up, I was completely ghosted. If they did not want the business, they should have the integrity to reply at minimum. Complete waste of time.

We never had to chase them up (in fact they chased us up once!) and we couldn’t have possibly hoped for a smoother process in an way. Thanks to Richard who handled our sale. Would definitely recommend and will be using them again. The Latchayyas.

GoogleAll 3 agents in the firm had an attitude problem. (Stacey and 2 other white women) Well done on being the most problematic women, no surprise there. Avoid if you can. Don't know what's happened to all the good women sales agents but this is just embarassing and degrading for women who genuinely do their jobs. Also avoid using their solicitors, they are just as problematic. Don't fall for the nice act they portray in the beginning, they only want your money.

GoogleAn Estate Agency That Absolute Pleasure To Deal With.
We have viewed a property recently with this agent and from initial contact (by email) it was an incredible experience. Kaitlin was sealing with us to arrange a viewing, she was polite, great communicator, demonstrated great deal of initiative. Kaitlin was there on Saturday morning, before appointed time of 9am, with property's doors open, printouts ready with property particulars and a land registry map.
Excellent service guys! Keep up great work!
Also thanks to Ellie and Richard, you are the super team!

GoogleWe asked 5 local estate agents for a valuation. Only Gemma of Bridgfords enthused about our property and went away to do further research. The other four agents were casual in the extreme. Our property sold in two days and Stacy was absolutely dogged about solving many problems even helping us with buying another property in Durham. Friendly, knowedgable and efficient she was a treasure, even helping us to get our next house Insured when there were problems. Now that is value for money! You won't get better than that.

GoogleExcellent attention to detail, superb communication and friendly, helpful attitudes all around.
Although we didn’t find the ideal property with Bridgefords, and actually only communicated briefly over the course of week, I’d just like to thank them for their help.
They were by far and above the best estate agent we spoke to in terms of helpfulness. They were committed to helping us find our perfect home, with Stacy always suggesting other alternatives to view, lining up new viewings that hadn't gone on the market yet, and keeping in touch with us. She was by far and above the best estate agent we dealt with in our house hunt, and would be an asset to sellers too.
Carly was extremely helpful and caring in her approach to dealing with mortgages and finances, and I'd definitely recommend her great attitude and skill. Richard has also since been out to view the current property we are in and was a pleasure to deal with - again, outstanding friendly communication - couldn't fault them.
