Bridgfords Knaresborough reviews

We recently sold our house in Knaresborough. The whole process was well managed and Gemma and her team were great, making what could have been a difficult time straightforward, mainly due to their professionalism and care. So, now that we are buying our new home we're happy that once again it's in Gemma's capable hands. I feel comfortable knowing she's aware of the potential angst that can arise when you're buying your home and appreciate the fact she has gone that extra mile. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the team at Bridgefords in Knaresborough if you're thinking of buying or selling....they've been great!

I had dealt with Bridgfords before both on a purchase and sale of my main home, when their Ripon office was open. I had found them to be very good so naturally contacted them again in their Knaresborough office when I had to sell my late mother's home. Gemma and the team (Amy, Eleanor and others) were all very professional and made the whole process as easy as possible. They found a good stream of credible purchasers who came to view, especially encouraging as it was the 4th qtr and not traditionally the easiest time to sell. They priced realistically, gave prompt and accurate feedback after viewings and negotiated well on my behalf. I feel they had my interests at heart throughout and they kept me very well informed every step of the way. I would definitely recommend them. Many thanks to all the team.

I recently bought at auction using Brigfords as the agents who showed the property for me. I had Joely show the property and although new to her role, she was very polite, professional and very easy to deal with. She will be a great asset to the estate agents moving forward

I found the service provided by Anna and the team very professional and accurate. The method of sale suggested and the accuracy of the provisional sale estimate price made the process, informative and quick. Very happy with the service.

I wrote an email to one of their sales colleagues about a viewing who wouldn't open the door to me. The sales colleague never responded back to my email. Plus they've not bothered to notife me about a property I was interested in but is now sold!

Bridgfords Gosforth

Bridgfords Gosforth - categorically the worst letting agents I have ever dealt with. They were very efficient at getting credit checks completed and the rent and deposit organised. After that though the service was appalllng. We picked up they keys a few days before we moved in and noticed a wash basin in the ensuite was smashed, and the premises was generally dirty (not mentioned on the inventory). Rang and advised - and said they could access the property to repair if necessary. It was not repaired when I moved in and I was advised this was because I needed to report through their portal. In the first week I had to report repairs - washing machine not plumbed in, broken toilet seats, kitchen cupboards so dilapidated the drawers fell out when opened, gas fire not working, thermostats missing/broken on radiators, ventilation fans not working plus the smashed basin. It took them 7 weeks to get some of the repairs done, the remainder were outstanding when I left 6 months later. I chased and chased but just got told they aren't priority repairs (repairs on white goods are supposed to be prioritised). Once I handed my notice in they were super efficient at arranging viewings to get some other poor fool to pay £850 to live in a cold badly maintained property.Although I have seen a copy of the check out report which mentioned lots of issues, all of which predated my tenancy, I have never had confirmation that the Land Lord is happy ( They brow beat me into taking a zero deposit arrangement which was very expensive so I don't have a deposit to come back) All in all swift to take your money slow to respond to issues and communications demonstrate how little they care about their tenants. I cannot recommend highly enough that you avoid this business like the plague.

The purchase of the house was fine mainly due to the purchasers and sellers interaction not due to bridgefords. We found the head of office (in shop) rude and with very little customer service. The experience we had with the previous staff Gina and Louise was great. Additionally, when we asked to remove the bridgefords sign after selling we were told they will take the sign down at their own convenience, totally unacceptable .

I moved out over a month ago and still haven’t had a single update about the return of my deposit. Sadly, this is entirely in line with the level of service I’ve received from Bridgeford throughout more than five years of renting with them.

Never contact me after numerous call and direct messages. As a landlord I find this appalling. I have tried since may to contact them but to no avail. I am thinking of leaving breaking my contract and go with court action if needed.

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…

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.

Bridgfords (and specifically Lucy) were a joy to work with. We bought a house in Starbeck through them and they were always professional, helpful and most importantly kept us informed (which counts for a lot when buying houses!). We had a long chain and a long wait so knowing Lucy had our interests in mind was a relief!

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.

Excellent experience, would highly recommend Bridgfords knaresborough. We have just had an offer accepted on a property marketed by Bridgfords and the process was made very simple. We dealt with Bryony from the initial enquiry, she facilitated the viewing, right through to our offer being accepted. Bryony is very knowledgeable and has great customer service skills, she made the whole process seamless from start to finish.

The team at Bridgfords, Knaresborough have gone over and above in their efforts to sell my Mum’s property. They have helped take the stress out of selling the house by doing all the viewings, recommending a conveyancing solicitor and helping me find a surveyor. Mike has kept me informed at every stage of the sale. I have really appreciated all their help and support.

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.
