TrustpilotBridgfords Denton
Cant recommend Bridgfords Denton enough. Bought through them recently. The team were so helpful throughout. Great communication, nothing was too much trouble. Aldo used their mortgage advisor, Gemma. She was fantastic. Never dealt with a broker like her! She went through the whole process in detail and always on hand to answer any questions I had! Many thanks to Ryan, Stacey, Adam and Gemma. You guys made what could have been a stressful so smooth!

TrustpilotApalling handling of my mother-in-laws…
Apalling handling of my mother-in-laws property. Took a massive %age of the rent, did nothing for the money, never communicated, never responded to messages or calls, left us with a squatting tennant for over a year after being serviced notice, never checked the property properly, never followed up on the deposit so we lost that as well. One star is far too much to give them. I suggest you never consider using this company.

Trustpilot4th tennant same issues- damp, mould, negligence
I am the forth tennant leaving my current rental property with the same letting agency and landlord due to the same issues. Mold, damp, negligence and conditions quite frankly not fit for living. I'm breaking my tenancy agreement with permission of the landlord, however never expected to be hit with Bridgfords re-housing fee because quite frankly didn't expect bridgfords to take on this property with a now fifth tennant following years of the same issues not fixed. The 95 year old landlord lord is maybe not able to care for this property but I'm not reviewing him right now. There's something really sinister about a company needing capital gain to the degree that they are willing to miss sell and mislead another tennant into this property a fifth time. Please please stay away.Edit- just noticed that they have a new tennant already from a video viewing alone. Pictures posted of the property are from years ago. Next tennant likely spun the same lines as me, "we are so busy with viewings on this property it's so desirable we can't possibly fit you in, take the video viewing and we advise you to go for it within the next 24 hours before it gets snapped up" there have been no physical viewings of this property whilst I have been here. This is miss selling and pressure sell tactics. The next person will likely have had to pay the same heavy holding fee as me, there rent has gone up by £50 and their deposit by £200 from the 7 month's when I came in with minimal work done on the neglected property. This company is predatory.

TrustpilotChris Parkin was my mortgage broker
Chris Parkin was my mortgage broker, really helpful I had been told from another company that I would not be able to get a mortgage, Chris went above and beyond to make it happen. We had issues with the lender taking unnecessary time on some issues Chris chased them everyday and I am now in my lovely new home. I will definitely recommend Chris in the future.

TrustpilotAwful customer service
Awful customer service, do not respond to emails, make you feel like an idiot on the phone for asking questions after not getting responses. absolutely gutted that I have to deal with this company.

made me complete 5 recaptchas to unsubscribe from their spammy emails. this is a tactic to waste people's time so they give up and stay signed up to emails. why would I need to prove my identity to unsubscribe from emails? even a hacker would have better things to do

TrustpilotJust don't waste your time
If you want a company of people with minimal care for you and the process, who don't do what they tell you they are going to do, and then when you're trying to find out where things are up to, never answer the phone, Bridgfords are the one.

TrustpilotLack of communication, unethical and unprofessional Practices
I had a very disappointing experience with [Agency Name]. I initially booked a viewing for a flat that was on sale, only to find out the appointment was cancelled because the flat was sold, and they forgot to inform me.Giving them another chance, I booked a viewing for another property. However, they insisted that I use their mortgage advisor even though I already had one and an Agreement in Principle. When I refused to change my mortgage advisor, they immediately cancelled my viewing appointment. This kind of behaviour is unprofessional and unethical. I would not recommend this agency to anyone.

GoogleWe were told about countrywide when our current mortgage advisor had failed to even get us an AIP, we thought we weren't going to be able to get a house for months maybe years due to this and were really disheartened until we were referred to Chris Sanders at Bridgfords, within 48 hours he had an AIP for us above what we even thought we would get and has been on call for any questions or queries (and there were a lot being first time buyers) I could not recommend him any higher due to how comfortable we felt with him and how quickly he worked and now we have an offer accepted on a house when we'd pretty much given up all hopePositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value
Thank you for taking the time to leave us this tremendous 5* review and recommendation. Kind regards, Lucy, Customer Relations

GoogleMy mum was informed that her house would be cleaned and decorated prior to moving into her rental property. Instead, after being asked to pay a year’s rent in advance, she was given the keys to a house which had not been decorated, was damp, extremely dirty and in a poor state of repair. When asked to address these concerns, the agent said it wasn’t her fault and walked out leaving my mum with keys to an unfit property and nowhere else to go having sold her home through Bridgfords the same day. I am appalled at the way my mum had been treated and lack of professionalism shown by the letting team. What shameful behaviour.NegativeQuality, Professionalism

Atrocious Customer Service. Have been chasing their Burnley branch for 6 weeks now and have emailed individuals there, as well as their general contact address and no one gives a damn.

Rebecca Farnell was very excellent, from the day of the viewing till the day it was concluded. she was friendly, kind, and her customer services skill was fantastic as well. i reckon you give her a raise. well done.

TrustpilotIllegal practices
Illegal practices! Referred to the Property Ombudsman because contract was completed by manager, Tammi, and not ourselves, meaning we incurred hundreds of pounds of additional costs. Additional problems included; no marketing of the property, little, if any, communication. Should have gone to any of the other local estate agents.

TrustpilotAshley - Great Sankey
Ashley, at the Sankey Branch, was brilliant! My offer was confirmed in August 21 and after many date changes I pulled out when the vendors wanted a 'provisional' completion of April 22! Through all that time Ashley kept me up to date and went above and beyond to try and get the sale to completion. She is a credit to Bridgfords

GoogleI have been in the process of renting my first property and after finding an amazing flat I was helped through the entire process by Heather, who has provided superb service throughout. I even managed a virtual tour through a friend. All of her advice has been so helpful and I have finally got the flat of my dreams! Would highly recommend this estate agent, especially to anyone who is new to the world of renting! Thank you so muchPositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

TrustpilotReliable and helpful
This is a great agency: they put us in touch with our new landlords and were very helpful every step of the way (special thanks to Ash!). They were always easy to reach, responsive and polite. When we arrived at the new place we had a lovely welcome pack waiting for us. Thanks for everything, Bridgfords!

TrustpilotAwful service and expensive fees. Landlords should use someone else.
Been with Bridgfords for a few months and cant really give positive feedback back on any part of their service. They are slow to respond, aggressive and generally useless. Their service centre is completely separate from the lettings team which results on breakdown in communication and poor service. They are great at selling their service to entice you in then run a mile once you are signed up.

TrustpilotIllegal
They will call you in and tell you to speak to their mortgage advisor who then tells you that he can get you the property if you sign up with them for £660+ non refundable, he will use their own solicitors too. My wife and I asked what about the other bidders and he said, the vendor won’t see those bids don’t worry. This is completely illegal and we walked away, he then said you are willing to walk away from this deal and get outbid. I said yes I would rather lose out on 20k than give you one penny. It’s kickbacks galore in that place and we know full well we will now not get that property. I would love to speak to the person selling the house but they have moved abroad and left these clowns in charge.
