Bridgfords Manchester Sales reviews

Scheming, conniving people

They were nice enough when I wanted to rent a property. Not so nice at the end of my tenancy when they withheld my ENTIRE deposit without providing any breakdown of costs, reasoning and ignored all my requests. I had to make a claim through the My Deposits scheme who eventually recovered most of my deposit back. Company were useless, unhelpful, rude and trying to take advantage of a young girl living by herself. Well you made a bad choice because I got back what was mine, no thanks to you, and will NEVER rent or buy through yourselves again.

Not even worth one star

Not even worth one star. I am the landlord and I received the worst service I've ever experiences. If you want to be ignored for weeks and lose money, use their service. I was holding off at giving this review hoping that things will improve, but after weeks of chasing my emails were falling on the deaf ears. First of all, accounts either too busy or too incompetent to deal with basic request, not willing to investigate any repair issues charges, the companies they are using to fix the property are doing botched jobs, resulting in hundreds of pounds loses. Sheer irresponsibility and lack of professionalism, unwillingness to help or resolve any problems leaves you humiliated as a customer, I would go quietly if I wasn't paying any money, but since I'm being charged EACH MONTH for the service which I COULD DO MYSELF, I think I deserve to say something! I really hope I can close my account as soon as possible because I'm really done with being neglected. Can I just ask, how hard is it to reply to an email? Be prepared to wait a week, of FOUR in my case. Horrible, caused huge distress and I really hope your management take note of all the negative response EVERYWHERE and do something about it. Lettings agency on the other hand in Swinton on the other hand is lovely and Hannah Smith was particularly help full, than her for that.

I was tenant for 8 years

I was tenant for 8 years, problems with communication, leaking roof repaired after 6 months, need it to call every 2 weeks to have an answer that "we will contact landlord, team or anyone else in the next 1 hour". Yeah 6 months water was leaking on my head. The best part is that something like that is with everything. Now I'm waiting for my deposit after when I moved out. There is barely any communication, no confirmation and very bad service even at the end of my tenancy. If you like problems and bad service you can do the business with Bridgfords. If you like good service and nice people you need to look anywhere else.

Made an offer on a property

Made an offer on a property. Which was accepted. Property was removed from rightmove. Had a survey carried out RICs survey 2. Before even getting the Survey report back. The property was back on rightmove. As Bridgfords driving up cost for there commission on property sales. Blaming cooperate client. Very poor practice stay clear of.

Mortgage adviser at Halifax branch

Lee the mortgage adviser at the Halifax West Yorkshire branch is amazing. I was trying to get my property re-mortgaged and as this was the first time I’d gone through it I was a bit nervous to say the least. The property in question was my dads who had passed away. Lee was brilliant, I did really know what I was doing and I had spoken to many different mortgage advisers. After speaking with them I just through the others just wanted my money but Lee was different. He spent time explaining everything to me and was always there if I needed him. Was hard to get him on the phone but he would email back as soon as he could. He did everything right for me and I highly recommend him. I will be going back to him once my term has come to an end, every time.

I cannot recommend Bridgfords and the team enough, especially Ed and Adeel. From start to finish they were both incredibly supportive, they always had time for my questions (and I had a lot as a first time buyer) and they consistently went above and beyond for me during a very tricky process. I will be recommending them to everyone- thank you both!!!

Bridgfords 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!

I am very happy as Daniel and Thomas Richmond have been of great help especially with Thomas chasing up after the landlord and giving me feedback every step of the way. Great customer service I will always recommend their services 👍🏼 …

Apalling 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.

One of the best renting experience I’ve had in Manchester, definitely top of the list when considering it has the best agents who will attend to getting you the beat deal possible. Would highly recommend Dan at Bridgeford on Hacienda.

I spoke with Thomas Richmond who just totally understood what I was looking for and did so quickly. I needed to move to Manchester ASAP, Thomas gave me 3 immediate options all within my price, in great areas and honestly helped me find the gem of an apartment I’m in now. Couldn’t recommend him high enough!

4th 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.

Chris 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.

I had an excellent experience with Thomas Richmond. He provided excellent guidance to me and walked me down the whole process. I would’ve lost the property if he didn’t tell me paying 6 months upfront was an option. He basically held up this deal

Please save yourself some stress and do not let anywhere from Bridgfords. My experience was in 2019 - posting now because I never did at the time due to stress. I'd told Bridgfords that my ceiling was leaking multiple times. All they did was paint the ceiling back white. When it got to the point that rainwater was literally pouring into my living room from the ceiling, all of the sockets and the lightshade and the fire alarm started to go off as well they took notice and said it wasn't safe and that I should probably leave. After asking them where they expected me to go last minute, they provided me with one option which was an unfurnished, very dirty assisted living home. To add insult to injury they didn't return my deposit 'because I didn't do a thorough clean' before I left. As if the whole ceiling, flooring and electrics didn't need to be ripped up and replaced. Honestly they're criminals.
