An absolute DISGRACE! LANDLORDS & TENANTS BEWARE

Have never written a review before but felt incensed enough to sign up and do one, so here goes;Where to start...1. Terrible customer service - seriously unprofessionalE.G. had to pay a small sum of money a couple of years ago so gave my card details over the phone. Money didn't come out until 2 weeks later - it turned out that this employee had written all my credit card details down on a piece of paper including 3 digit security code and had forgotten about it until 2 weeks later.E.G told we had to be present on a given day for the 6-monthly inspection. So I put a holiday in at work for it... Bridgefords never turned up and no phone call (this happened a few times).2. Repairs - no inspections of the works carried out by the cowboys they sub to.E.G. 10-15 visits over 2 year period by 4 different companies to try fix a shower 3. FIRE/SMOKE ALARM FAULTY - the fire/smoke alarm in the hallway of our apartment was faulty and I found it had 'expires june 2015' and needed to be replaced. Took loads of phone calls and well over a year to sort it out. 4. THEY CANCELLED OUR ENERGY PROVIDER ACCOUNT WITH EON - We got a letter through the post saying that our letting agent had cancelled our account. This is a breach of contract.Above are but a few of the more serious issues but bottom line is I have not one good thing to say about Bridgefords. Guys I could go on - seriously...Bridgefords - wow what can I say, I'm surprised you haven't been shopped to the relevant authorities by now because you are a complete and utter disgrace.

Don't deal with this agent

The worst customer service ever! I received a call from one of the letting agents at Bridgfords after an inquiry and she booked me a viewing, i waited for a whole week and on the day of the viewing i called to confirm the appointment as i didn't receive any confirmation from them. The agent that i spoke to who claimed to be the manager was totally unprofessional and just kept saying that there is no appointment booked for me today and maybe it's another agency not Bridgfords!! when i asked to submit an official complaint she said there is nothing to do and that she is the manager and the only thing she could do is to call me if anyone else cancelled his booked appointment or to book me another appointment after a week while she knows that this property will be gone by then!! Although she said that someone else was booked on the same time slot that i was given by the agent and he cancelled his appointment but again she refused to book me! She didn't even care to know the agent who called me and did that error

Only gave 1 star because I had to

Only gave 1 star because I had to. Absolute disgrace of a company. If you want to be lied to, call dodged, ripped off on end of tenancy deposit return (genuinely left the property in a better condition than recieved it in) and caused a huge amount of stress then rent a property from this outfit. If however you would like to avoid all of the above then rent a property from elsewhere. Seriously, don't put yourselves through the stress. It will take 3 months, THREE MONTHS of listening to lies, dealing with incompetence, and call dodging because they know they have cocked up just to get your deposit back. Read reviews, do your checks, I doubt you'll find any extremely satisfied customers.

LOWTON BRANCH LET DOWNS!!!

Do your research on Brigfords before you even glance at their website let alone walk through the door. It seems that they will be happy to place any house on the market without firstly checking that the person who is selling is in a legal position to sell! 24 weeks on and £1200 out of pocket on a vacant no chain property without an exchange date mentioned once, i had to back out! Unprofessional! They will literally sell the ground from under you if you said you owned it! Buyers be aware! Always speak to the vendor at the earliest opportunity, and always request proof of who owns the property and ensure the seller has power of attorney if they say they are selling on the behalf of someone else! Very underhanded! Personally I'd keep well away!!!!!!!! Charming staff until you hit a wall, then expect very little help with zero empathy, topped of with a drawn out game of he said she said while you're made to sit through all the legalities that should have been covered before the house got placed on the market in the first place!

Avoid at all costs!!!!

These are by far the worst estate agents to rent from. They were always slow to respond to repair and maintenance issues, it took the landlady to call and apologise on behalf of Bridgfords before anything could be fixed. However when it comes to money, they make all sorts of silly excuse to keep your deposit and inflate costs to justify reaping off tenants. The staff are incredibly complacent and rude. Dealt with the lettings manager at their Northwich office and a Rebekah in their head office, never dealt with such unhelpful and rude individuals, it's a wonder what sort of customer service training they receive, if any at all. AVOID!!!!!

Terrible agency

Terrible agency. Moved into the property in November and waited months for repairs to be done. Some repairs are still not done now. Everybody that works at Bridgfords takes ages to reply or just ignores your email. Spoke to a manager on the phone who was extremely rude and did not have the time of day to speak to me. Overall, the Hacienda branch have been very disappointing and have made my move not enjoyable.

A deplorable and unscrupulous business

A deplorable and unscrupulous business. Tenants have to chase and chase for their bond monies to be repaid and during the chase, Bridgfords lie,lie and lie.

Don’t waste your time

Their agent failed to turn up to a property viewing. We called the agent and the office several times and no one picked up so we went to their office and booked another appointment for later that day. They then failed to turn up to the second appointment and when we went to the office again, showed no remorse and did not apologise. Will never ever book with them again. They’re rude and unprofessional.

Dealt with a guy called zahid should have known really never to go ahead, once they had the sale wasn’t interested, pushed into putting the house on the market telling me I’ve spent a lot of time at your house! Very proffesional, was asked to reduce price after 2 weeks, long story with the rest of it but I would stay clear, hence I took my house off the market with them,

Accepted property and then they rang to say they’ve accepted someone else!!

I was accepted a property by them and I sent all paperwork over and two weeks later they phoned saying I was accepted as a higher bidder was accepted. Why accept me and my offer to disappoint two weeks later. Do not use this estate agent very bad service and not happy at all. They are useless I will be using somewhere else.
