GoogleOnly 2 issues were ever followed up on out of the roughly 20 issues we reported and that was the broken window and the broken front door. To get the dishwasher replaced it took over 3 months of calling twice a week. Don't be surprised if the person in charge of your tendency at Bridgfords is only leave every time you call.
When we complained bout how filthy the apartment was when we moved in we were told by the manager of the Manchester office "well its not going to get a £500 clean". It didn't look like they spent £50 to cleaners. When we spoke to the land lord on it they said Bridgfords took hundreds off the previous tenants to have it cleaned. where that money went I'm sure was to bridgfords profit margains.
On moving out we left the place exceptionally more clean than how we got it but still got a very long detailed report of how dirty it was and complained about the issues we reported when we moved in but they never fixed. Bridgfords said this about our deposit on checkout "I would advise that the landlord has decided to proceed with the works themselves, and therefore the offer of £100 to be deducted is a lot less than if we had arranged for the works to be organised through one of our contractors, which was previously advised by myself as a result of the checkout report."
They admittedly said they would have charged us a lot more if the landlord did not intervene.
when I provided proof of the damage they wanted to charge us for they said I can appeal but it can take 3 months, which I'm sure they know most people need there old deposit to pay for a new one. we did not appeal because of this
I viewed the apartment, it was a nice apartment but dirty we were promised it would be cleaned. On move in day, the apartment looked like it got a quick wipe of a mope and the garbage was taken out. Apart from that it was filthy. Dirt, cobwebs and cigaret puds on the balcony. cupboards were stained. Carpet was was torn around the edges. toilet seat was dirty and heavily stained with fake tan. paint splattered on worktops. dishwasher broken, window broken, wouldn't close. all the furniture in the bedrooms were half broken, drawers fallen down on top of each other the base of some drawers split. couch high stools and tiles were all filthy. oven not properly cleaned thick grease around the seal. carpet stained, curtain very stained.
Throughout out tendency we had the following issues, mould growing in bathroom, worktop seal lifting, carpet getting progressively more frayed on the edge where it was coming away fro the seal.

Thank you so much to Dan Mooney and Thomas Richmond for all of their help and putting up with my miniature time scale to have me referenced and moved.
Super polite, helpful and efficient. Process has been smooth sailing and no messing around. One of the best estate agents I’ve used in the 5 years I’ve been renting. Love the fact I don’t have to constantly call and chase these guys, they are just on the ball and get the job done.

GoogleAwful customer service from Bridgfords. There is zero protection for tenants. My daughter is due £750 deposit from a landlord through Bridgfords. The landlord is refusing to return deposit, despite a successful move out process. Bridgfords are refusing to help stating the landlord has “insufficient funds in his account to return the deposit”. This has been going on for 3 months and rather than trying to rectify the issue or taking some responsibility on behalf of the landlord, Dan Mooney and his manager are more concerned about dismissing my daughter and avoid giving me updates directly.
Use Bridgfords if you need to but make sure you ensure the landlord is signed up to a deposit protection scheme, purely so you can avoid this situation when you vacate a let.

GoogleMarvellous experience from start to finish in facilitating the sale of my apartment. Whilst other estate agents had suggested properties in my apartment block could not be successfully sold, Bridgfords seemed to make it their mission to prove their competitors wrong. Really valued the local knowledge, insights and personal approach from the senior valuer, Zahid Maqbool, who won our custom by being way ahead of competitors in all these respects. The marketing was exemplary, honest, and up front about some issues in the apartment block that meant we would be looking for a cash buyer, and, despite this, they generated plenty of interest. Potential buyers were screened before being showed around on our behalf, by the wonderful sales consultant, Lydia Flynn, who deserves special credit for tackling the stairs multiple times a day while the apartment lifts were out of action!! Offers flowed, and despite one abortive sale, and another lengthy transaction, we completed a few days ago. Lydia was brilliant at chasing solicitors and making sure things were remaining on track. I know the estate agent fees represent a significant cost when selling a property, and many people are now attracted to DIY / internet agency approaches, but I can honestly say I felt that every penny spent with Bridgfords was completely worthwhile and felt exceptional value for money given the work they put in, their responsiveness and support. Thanks again, Zahid and Lydia, you’re a credit to your organisation!

GoogleJust rented a property with Bridgfords, I needed an apartment that will allow me to keep a dog, and while I was mostly ignored by other agencies and never heard back from them, I have to compliment Dan Mooney who was very proactive and helped me to negotiate this with the landlord the very same day! Could also get a viewing organised for the next day which is not common at all in Manchester and Dan was very flexible with times. I was impressed how quick the communication went as I've been renting for almost 10 years and didn't have many good experiences as this one.

TrustpilotSome things never change - still shoddy
Some things never change. We bought our house through Bridgfords 5 years ago- not a good experience. They don’t answer the phone or answer emails. Today, as we’ve decided to sell the house, I thought to myself "maybe they’ve changed." I’ve called them 4 X, each time being redirected to an answering machine.I’ve emailed them and no reply. A continuation of a shoddy service continues. The 2 other estate agents I’ve contacted have replied more or less straight away and visits have been arranged. I honestly don’t know how Bridgfords survives in the current economic climate.

Trustpilot2 month+ deposit return delay
I rented a property managed by Bridgfords and moved out two months ago. I still have not received my deposit back. Since moving out, I have called and emailed the branch multiple times to follow up. My calls have been hung up on, and my emails have gone unanswered. For an agency that expects tenants to meet strict deadlines and requirements throughout the tenancy, this level of service at the end of the process has been disappointing. I would think carefully before renting through Bridgfords based on this experience.
