Branch staff good, conveyancing beyond horrendous

Started the journey of selling my flat with Bridgfords well, great listing, quickly found a buyer, then Bridgfords conveyancing service took over and was incompetent at every turn. 6 months on from accepting an offer I’ve had to end the sale as my mental health couldn’t handle anymore of the misleading, lies and gaslighting from their conveyancers. Was so bad even the branch staff said they were embarrassed at how bad it was.

If I could put 0 I would

If I could put 0 I would. My cousin gave notice that he was giving up the flat due to family and health issues. Before he was able to remove his things (within a week) they have taken his belonging and given only some clothing back. They have stolen a family air loom watch (Rolex) , cash that was for Christmas, not given back any expensive trainers .. they have drip fed some things back since like the tvs and yet to receive the Xbox, they have photos of his stuff on their report which they haven’t given back. They are not to be trusted . They are proceeding to trade non ethically and illegally. Reports to police have been made. They prey on vulnerable people

First class service from start to finish. I can’t begin to explain how important it is to get the right estate agent from the beginning to end process and Bridgfords would 100% be my choice every time! Bridgfords are one step ahead the whole way through and don’t think the service ends when you accept an offer, they constantly follow the whole chain through to completion and keep you updated along the way. A well established & approachable agent, with very knowledgeable & friendly staff, they have the infrastructure to deal with enquiries and viewings. I’d like to thank Val & her team from the bottom of my heart and hope we find our next home with you!

Holly & Nathanial @ Stockton Heath

I’m so grateful to Nathanial, Holly and Sam at Bridgfords Stockton Heath. They’ve helped me through two moves during one of the hardest times in my life, and their support has genuinely meant the world. They were kind, patient and completely on top of everything.

Outstanding service once again from Bridgfords Ponteland! I have experienced Bridgfords both as a purchaser and as a seller and I couldn't be happier with their service. The amazing staff are so professional and able to answer all enquiries quickly and clearly. As a purchaser they helped to organise and expediate my purchase process, and as a seller they got me a great offer on my property in no time at all. Truly a service that cant be beat! Thank you again to everyone at Bridgfords Ponteland.

We bought a house through Bridgefords Ponteland recently. The service was great. Valerie, Lucy and Heather were great. Always kept us informed of the progress and helped us every step of the way. Great service and communication. Would highly recommend.

I would recommend Bridgfords over any estate agent in the village Val the branch manager has so much experience and knowledge of the area and market. I’ve used this estate agent twice now and both times sold my house in the first week. Staff are friendly and understand their customers and know what type of property you’re looking for and match people based on their needs. Putting your house on the market can be daunting but I felt much more at ease after speaking to Val she is the reason this estate agent has survived in Ponteland as long as it has total dedication to her job. Thanks again Neil and Claire Povey

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.

Out of all of estate agents we used, Bridgfords Ponteland was by far the most helpful, professional, and friendly. Everyone we worked with provided such personal service and were always available for any questions we had which was appreciated especially as first time buyers. We couldn't be more thankful for the team at Bridgfords Ponteland and would highly recommend this dedicated group.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

would not recommend this company to any landlord. The fees are extremely high, with additional charges that are not always made clear from the outset. Communication is poor, and it is often very difficult to get hold of staff when you need support or answers.

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.

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.

Valerie Robson and the team at Bridgfords, Ponteland are excellent. They have a wonderful way of making you feel like you are their only client. Nothing is too much trouble and they are always there to help. They took away the stresses and strains of selling property. We would thoroughly recommend them!

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.

We recently purchased a property through Bridgfords Ponteland office. From the first viewing through to the speedy completion the service has been excellent. All queries were handled quickly and professionally. Our main contact was Victoria but we also dealt with Val a couple of times and would like to thank them both very much for all their help.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

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.
