Confusing 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!

I recently entered into a tenancy contract with Bridgfords and have been thoroughly impressed with their service. The agents are incredibly supportive specially Dan Mooney. They were fast in responding to emails ensuring that any inquiries are addressed quickly.

Aneeka in Sale, Manchester.

Aneeka in Sale was very helpful, welcoming, and knowledgable during our appointment yesterday. She arrived promptly, and was passionate in ensuring great customer service was provided, including assisting us with measurements.

Bridgford'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.

Well... 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.

Unpleasant 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.

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.

My friend and I recently enquired about an apartment in Manchester. We were assisted by Tom (Thomas) who was kind, professional and attentive to our requests throughout the process. He’s very responsive, via phone and email too. Seamless experience, would totally recommend.

Significant incorrect information was adverised with a property sale listing. If this was listed correctly we wouldn't have even viewed the property or offered. Correct information was found with searches; due to this, we had to pull out the sale and incurred over £1k legal costs. Very unhappy, this branch cost me money and caused alot of disappointment.

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude for the exceptional service and efficiency in handling the rental procedures for my new accommodation. I truly appreciate the efforts made by you and your team to ensure a smooth process, despite the complexities involved in my case. As a non-British citizen transitioning from being a student, I was very concerned that the rental process might be challenging and time-consuming. However, you went above and beyond to guide me through the necessary steps and paperwork, making the entire process seamless and stress-free. Once again, thank you for making this crucial transition in my life so smooth and hassle-free.

I had a fantastic experience with Dan Mooney from Bridgfords. From the moment I inquired about a rental property to the reference checks, they provided exceptional service. Their response was prompt and addressed all my concerns. Their commitment towards the tenants is commendable.

Happy to waste your time

Awful experience. It started with receiving numerous phone calls despite being informed that I was unavailable that day. My original viewing had been rearranged without my consent or informing me, to a day that I had stated I was unavailable. Resulting in no estate agent showing up to my originally scheduled viewing. When phoned to find out what was happening the estate agent rearranged to later that day, to which they didn't show up again because they had miss placed the keys to the property, resulting in wasting 3 hours of my day off, and untold worry to the sellers. Absolutely disgraceful service, with no respect for their clients time or property.

Avoid this company at all costs

This estate agents are the worst I have ever dealt with. I have had a deposit issue with them since 2022 and this has remained unresolved because the branch manager is very unhelpful, obnoxious and rude. She doesn’t have the word assist or help in her vocabulary. I have had several conversations with her via email but somehow on my recent contact she has sent a reply citing confidentiality. Yet she has sent emails with personal information and details previously. After that she commands you to call the office phone which is never answered.

The worst experience I have ever had with an agency.They are rude and not professional. They pretended to have the money via call before I even received a proper contract for the flat.Then, they told me to get the keys and find the flat by myself. They did not even show me where the flat is. I will avoid to have deals with them in the future.
