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!

Extremely frustrating. Bridgfords never seem to have the information at hand regarding a property and are seemingly incapable of returning calls when they have promised to do so. Very unprofessional attitude overall from an investors perspective.

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.

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.

Sam is very efficient and nothing is too hard for her even if it’s outside her job description- she will find someone who can help and I don’t know what I would have done without Sam in the last few months leading to my purchase!!!!!!!! what a credit to the business her name deserves to be in shining lights!!!! Thank you Sam for an amazing service and for ongoing support. You have gone above and beyond the call of duty, Bridgfords is very lucky to have someone of your calibre as an employee!!!!! Wow!!!!

I would like to thank the staff at Bridgfords for an amazing service.They were always helpful, always returned my calls and kept me up to date with what was happening. In particular Alison James was absolutely brilliant. If it hadn't been for Alison I'm not sure we would have exchanged at all! Thank you for taking some of the stress out of selling my house

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!

Bridgfords were great in helping us to sell our property. Alison consistently went above and beyond to help iron out teething problems and ensure that any potential problems were resolved swiftly. Thanks also to Mike for your friendly and pragmatic support and advice from the outset. You made a difficult process a lot easier.

Just sold my house with Bridgfords in Withington and couldn't fault them. They communicated with me regularly, kept me updated with the sale, chased solicitors up when needed and supported me throughout the process. Huge thanks to the Withington team, especially Richard, Sadaf, David and James. Excellent service from a very helpful team.

Alison and the team were all very helpful from day one . I was acting of behalf of relatives who had no IT skils or internet prescence, from a distance of 80 miles away. Any problems that created were sorted quickly and professionally.

We found Bridgfords both understanding and efficient when we finally decided to sell our house in Stafford. Alison was friendly and knowledgeable and Mike worked very hard once sale agreed to make the ride to completion as smooth as possible. However our thanks to the whole team for whoever we spoke to we received a helpful and reassuring response. Wendy and Peter Rayner

I’ve been renting for 4 years and I have never had an experience like Bridge fords Stafford. Pushy, careless staff who want you out the door so they can get the next tenants in. Will book viewings without your knowledge or consent. Didn’t care that we have a cat in the house who isn’t aloud out. We had a proposal for the rent to be put up, we asked bridgefords to ask our landlord to reconsider to an in between price. Didn’t hear back from them, we decided to look for somewhere else because of it and when we managed to find a house and move instead, We let bridgefords know and they replied instantly. We’re pushy about getting the pictures done when the house looks the same as last year!! And then what do you know the house goes on for the price we asked to reconsider too. I am convinced they didn’t even ask our landlord. An absolute joke to be honest. This company is appalling and I would never rent or buy a house from this agents after this awful experience.

STAY AWAY!!!! SCAMMERS!!!!

Why I need to give them one rate star. They don't deserve even for 0.Scammers and unprofessionalls.September 1st I should have moved to a rented flat in Manchester. On the pics and you tube short movie sent by this agency( which are old to attract attention !!!) everything looks very nice.In the reality completely different. Place is not in a good condition to live in, not even in a basic. It's not health and safety. Flat had not been cleaned after previous tenant or even tenants(if someone really lived before). Inspection had not been done before my moving date. Mould is everywhere in the flat, walls are dirty (black),gas cooker is damaged, knobs pop out and using of it may cause fire and even explosion, there is no possibility to open windows, in case of a gas leaking or dense smoke there's no chance to make flow of air, in case of a fire the only one way to escape is through main door only, smell of this flat is disgusting, grouty mould in the bathroom. Old, dirty mattress with stains. Old shaking wardrobe that may collapse and cause injury. A devastated piece of furniture inside the room. Living there may cause serious health and safety problems.Flat should have been prepared before moving. But no one did anything.Letting agent/Landlord was not in the flat during moving in. Key collection in the branch. Flat looks like an abandoned place!!!!Straight away I gave termination to the landlord due to negligence.I asked for a full refund but they are not (letting agency/ landlord)willingness to do this.I recorded video and took some pictures (if someone would like to see, pls contact me)One week after my moving date agency sent cleaners (8th September)cleaners to that flat. Next day I came there to take a look at a result. Cleaners done - bathtube, toilet. In the kitchen - worktops, cupboards and top of the gas cooker.Knobs from the gas cooker poped out as previously.Walls not even touched. Mould still there. Rest as I mentioned above.I returned keys to the letting agency.Next week (Monday 12Sep) I received an email from letting agency that landlord agreed to release me from the contract but wants to keep my deposit which I think in these matter is absolutely not fair.I'm feeling scammed depressed,broken down and humiliated.If you will find good place in a very attractive price and want to arrange viewings then agency usually will never give you any response or send response that flat/house is not available anymore.If you call them and say you're interested and ready to pay then you attract attention.Agency and landlord earned money and have you deep in their ......!!!!Shame I can't puy in here pics and movie.I lost £1290. Luckily I could come back to my former place. Otherwise I would be homeless or had to move into that ruin place.STAY AWAY and RUN AWAY!!!!! Not worth your health. Do not waste your time.Branch in Chorlton, Manchester

Bridgfords

Extremely unprofessional company.Absolutely no communication skills with each other (or with us as the landlords). This resulted in us losing money, and money being taken incorrectly on several occasions.Whenever an issue was raised with Stephen, we had to send numerous emails over weeks to receive any answers as to what was going on. They always had to be chased up, and would never email on their own to let us know what was happening.When an issue had been raised, some staff would send patronising emails, rather than trying to solve the issue, especially Chloe and Lauren. This was just another area of unprofessionalism that was shown.A company that was sent to take photos to assess damage to the property was appalling. They 'forgot' to take photographs of important areas that had been damaged, such as the flooring that had come up.A tenant reported a leak to the company, which was not reported to us at all (again a lack of communication). This resulted in us having to pay over 1500 pounds for a new floor.We were told that no further money was owed to the company, and all that was left to sort was the amount of deposit money that would be returned to us for damages to the property. When we received this, hundreds of pounds had been deducted from the company, with no explanation as to what this was and why this was deducted.On another occasion, we told the company not to carry out an annual gas check as the tenant was leaving. They ignored this, did not even bother to let us know that they had carried this out until over 2 months later when we continuously questioned what was going on. We never received this money back, and despite emails proving the lack of communication, not even an apology was given.It became extremely obvious that this is simply a money making business, with no regard for the customer. We originally had Bridgfords in full control of the property, however with every necessary repair, they would always quote ridiculous amounts compared to any other company that we dealt with. They tried to take money off us at every opportunity, again with a lack of explanation and no actual service.We have numerous properties, and would definitely not recommend this company, or use them to manage any of our properties in the future. A huge improvement in communication and professionalism needs to be made.

Grace at Bridgfords Withington was great in helping us through the viewing and application process. She fit us in last minute to a viewing of a house in manchester that we ended up signing and was excellent at keeping us updated during the whole process. Couldn’t have asked for better :)

Bridgfords have been an absolute breeze to deal with throughout the sale of our property. Alison was particularly helpful and put our mind at ease as the property we were selling was a long way from where we live. This was a great comfort to us and saved a lot of bother! Would definitely recommend using Bridgfords to anyone.

They rented me a house at 26 Jefferson Walk ST16 1WF and I listened to construction noises for 1 year and they forced me to sign an additional contract for 1 year even though I told them before. They tried to rent me this house above market prices. When I left, they had no other choice so they rented it to others at a lower price. They are not honest and try to rip people off. Also, do not trust the zero deposit system, they work together and try to get money from you
