Great experience from start to finishing working with Karen and Mike at Bridgfords. It took a fair amount of time and many viewings to find our dream property but both Karen and Mike persevered and provided a professional service throughout! With this being our first house purchase, they were especially helpful and informative during the closing stages of the purchase ensuring we all parties were regularly chased and well informed! Would highly recommend!

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.

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 was interested in a bungalow showing Bridgfords Northallerton Branch as the agents.Two weeks of daily phone calls brought the same recorded voice, "All our agents are busy, leave etc., etc.," which I did - NOTHING - No response of any kind.Send a detailed message on their query form, result- NOTHING.If I was a Seller, and not a Buyer, I would, after reading results on Trust Pilot, never,ever, use them.I am still interested in this bungalow, but, apart from going to the people directly, I can only wish them luck in EVER selling through Bridgfords, unless this is already sold, and they are "too busy" to mark this property as so!Very disappointed, as I registered with them and still never heard anything.The saga continues.....

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.

I had a really smooth experience with Bridgfords and this is all thanks to Luke Squirrel, the lettings negotiator who helped me through the process. He was e totally helpful with accurate information and timely response. Thank you Luke !

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.

Avoid this agency by all means

Avoid this agency by all means. They attract landlords who will lie to you about the history of the property and it’s current state (mine was infested with massive rats which the landlord claim to know nothing about until I called exterminators who found evidence from a different extermination team)The staff will make promises to you and not fulfil them ( I agreed to take a contract pending they would clean the property, however it was inhabitable for 3 days before the landlord arrived to clean. Agency promised to refund those three days but choose to ignore this state 6 months down the line and this cost me money as the tenant.I have never written a review in my life and I’ve rented for 10+ now and I have experience a lot. I would never recommend this agency even to my worse enemy.

Worst renting experience in our lives.

Worst experience we’ve ever had as tenants. We rent a property from Bridgfords lettings Durham Branch. We’ve rented property for many years but have never been in this situation before. We’ve been living without hot running water for months now (comes out the tap like ice). The boiler stopped working in December. Bridgfords sent out an engineer who got the central heating working but couldn’t get the hot water to work. The engineer told Bridgfords that the boiler needs replacing. They still haven’t replaced it. To top it all, they’ve been deceptive in the emails they’ve sent, stating in February that they’d contacted an engineer to fit the boiler and that we should “look out for our phone ringing” only to be now told that they’re “waiting for a cheque to clear”.I can only think the 2.5 stars is because shortly after moving in they badger you with emails to give them a Trustpilot review before you’ve had a chance to see their true colours. Appalling, not worth 1 star.

First home - couldn't have done it without them!

I recently bought my first home and couldn't have done it without the help of Chloe, Ryan and Gemma. They offered their support from start to finish and always explained what was happening. They were always there to talk and would reply to emails quickly. They really eased the stress of moving into a new home. I will definitely be using them again in the future and will be recommending them to family and friends who move within the area. Thanks so much to the whole team at Bridgfords x

Amazing service! Suzanne from Bridgfords helped us 4 years ago to get our mortgage to buy our family home...she has also just helped us to re mortgage onto a more competitive rate. I can honestly say it was hassle free as Suzanne did everything, she is very professional and efficient. I would recommend to anyone looking to get a mortgage or re mortgaging. 5* Service!

First class service. The entire process went smoothly from start to finish from the estimated value of my late aunt's property for probate to completion of the sale. The house was first advertised on 25th May, viewings on 29th May, offers in, house sold on 31st July 2018. Karen the office manager kept me informed of progress at all times without me having to chase. Excellent.

DO NOT USE THESE!!!!

DO NOT USE THESE!!!!The worst estate agents ever. If you’re considering them, do not do it. So at the end of October i needed to move out. So i found a flat, viewed it, applied, got accepted. So obviously i handed in my notice at my current housing. I requested to send my boyfriend to pick the keys up as i was in work until 6pm. Double, tripple checked if they needed any confirmation for him to collect them. Was advised they needed nothing as they would recognise him from the viewing. At the point of the keys being handed over they told my boyfriend he had to sign on my behalf… As the estate agent walked my boyfriend up the stairs of the flat she advised him that some pidgeons had broken in and pood all over the floor. Baring in mind at this point, i’d spoken to her on that day and paid over £1000 to their company. It is just me on the agreement so it’s a breach of DPA that they advised my partner that and not me on the call where i paid them money. I asked to get keys early so i could move in my stuff. So with the bird poo all over the floor i did ask how they expected me to move my furniture over that. After confronting the company about advising my partner to sign my name i was advised WE should have known that was wrong. It took a week to sort this out, i have now had to find other housing as i had about 2.5/3 weeks until im a 19 year old homeless person… After displaying my annoyance to the company the rudely asked if i could live at my parents or my boyfriends… I have finally managed to get keys for a new flat however now i only have 4 days until my tenancy runs out. Baring in mind i work 7:30am-6pm so now i’m having to rush everything in 4 days. Also, the day i picked up the keys i was told they didn’t have the key for the front door of the flat building which is by the car park. So now i’m left with 4 days to move my stuff in & no access to the building. I must admit, i do have a key to the other door on the building. however to get to that door you have to cross a bridge, go up and down some stairs therefore is the complete opposite of convenient. This estate agents is a joke and has only caused me stress. If i didn’t have limited time to leave my current property i would not be staying with them.
