5/5
The staff at Bridgefords Hazel Grove have been exemplary in not only their professionalism, but also in the manner in which they went above and beyond for myself during the purchasing process of a local property. Whenever I contacted the branch to raise important inquiries, I received either an immediate answer, or the staff would swiftly contact the relevant channels to get whatever was required. This ultimately led to a short time-frame between having an offer accepted and contracts being exchanged. Very Impressed. Would use their services again!PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism
Thank you for taking the time to leave us this great 5* review. Kind regards Lucy, Customer Relations

made me complete 5 recaptchas to…
made me complete 5 recaptchas to unsubscribe from their spammy emails. this is a tactic to waste people's time so they give up and stay signed up to emails. why would I need to prove my identity to unsubscribe from emails? even a hacker would have better things to do

Just don't waste your time
If you want a company of people with minimal care for you and the process, who don't do what they tell you they are going to do, and then when you're trying to find out where things are up to, never answer the phone, Bridgfords are the one.

Avoid This Rubbish Terrible company
Avoid This Rubbish Terrible companyI was trying to apply mortgage through this TRRRIBLE company, the lady called Katy Gregg mortgage advisor ruined everything, messed up all things . The property I was going to buy didn't work out. They have waste my time and my money which I spend on searches. She was pushing me to buy a property with Bridgford. This is the reason she messed up every thing and I lost the offer was accepted on property. This behaviour is unprofessional and unethical, Dishonesty/ lack of transparency and totally unprofessionalism. Absolute disgusting customer service. Bridgfords Stockport Absolute RUBBISH, They don't deserve even a one star. waste of time, waste of money, DISGUSTING

Lack of communication, unethical and unprofessional Practices
I had a very disappointing experience with [Agency Name]. I initially booked a viewing for a flat that was on sale, only to find out the appointment was cancelled because the flat was sold, and they forgot to inform me.Giving them another chance, I booked a viewing for another property. However, they insisted that I use their mortgage advisor even though I already had one and an Agreement in Principle. When I refused to change my mortgage advisor, they immediately cancelled my viewing appointment. This kind of behaviour is unprofessional and unethical. I would not recommend this agency to anyone.

AVOID this agent
AVOID this agent! We only went with Bridgfords Stockport, after they missold a open house drive to sell our home, however they missed us out of the drive completely. They then refused to let us leave, even though we were well within the cooling off period. They did not include any floorplan at launch, we complained and they eventually uploaded a floorplan for another home, this floorplan had rooms, doors, open plan areas, windows and alcoves that did not exist, while missing doors windows and a porch. They also measured wrong, with a 13 foot room being marketed as a 20 foot room. Even after knowing it was the wrong floor plan, and they were misleading potential buyers, they refused to remove it until we had completed OUR OWN REPLACEMENT!! They promised to keep in touch and provide feedback. They have not once called us, and have failed to provide feedback or a single viewer. We provided the photos, the floorplan, the measurements, had to change the description and even had to instruct them to use tags on Rightmove, they have done absolutely nothing and yet charge over £1000 more than other large agents. We have asked them to remove our home from the market, or at least to remove our intellectual property - the floorplan and the photos we took, however they are still listing our home for sale, using our photos and floorplan even though we do not wish to sell. We now face having to drag this through the courts, and involving the ombudsman.

Atrocious Customer Service
Atrocious Customer Service. Have been chasing their Burnley branch for 6 weeks now and have emailed individuals there, as well as their general contact address and no one gives a damn.

Ashley - Great Sankey
Ashley, at the Sankey Branch, was brilliant! My offer was confirmed in August 21 and after many date changes I pulled out when the vendors wanted a 'provisional' completion of April 22! Through all that time Ashley kept me up to date and went above and beyond to try and get the sale to completion. She is a credit to Bridgfords
5/5
Reliable and helpful
This is a great agency: they put us in touch with our new landlords and were very helpful every step of the way (special thanks to Ash!). They were always easy to reach, responsive and polite. When we arrived at the new place we had a lovely welcome pack waiting for us. Thanks for everything, Bridgfords!
1/5
Awful service and expensive fees. Landlords should use someone else.
Been with Bridgfords for a few months and cant really give positive feedback back on any part of their service. They are slow to respond, aggressive and generally useless. Their service centre is completely separate from the lettings team which results on breakdown in communication and poor service. They are great at selling their service to entice you in then run a mile once you are signed up.
1/5
Illegal
They will call you in and tell you to speak to their mortgage advisor who then tells you that he can get you the property if you sign up with them for £660+ non refundable, he will use their own solicitors too. My wife and I asked what about the other bidders and he said, the vendor won’t see those bids don’t worry. This is completely illegal and we walked away, he then said you are willing to walk away from this deal and get outbid. I said yes I would rather lose out on 20k than give you one penny. It’s kickbacks galore in that place and we know full well we will now not get that property. I would love to speak to the person selling the house but they have moved abroad and left these clowns in charge.

Super friendly, helpful staff. We needed to sell our house remotely as we've moved away and everyone has been so helpful in assisting us and moving the process along quickly. I'm new to the whole process and they are very happy to take the time to explain it all and answer my questions. They've definitely eased a stressful situation. Got me a good price, too! Recommended.
Thank you for your wonderful 5* review and recommendation. Kind regards, Lucy, Customer Relations.

Terrible communication, valuations and organisation.
We sold our flat with Bridgfords Swinton and the experience with them was terrible from start to finish. They over-valued our property by £15,000, meaning that when our buyers applied for their mortgage they refused to give them their full amount, causing us to have to sell the property for £15,000 less as we didn’t have the time to put the property back in the market due to our chain. We had further issues with our buyers’ mortgage application causing a huge delay in the sale, and we actually ending up initially losing our forward purchase due to this. Throughout this whole nightmare Bridgfords were absolutely useless. We told them time and time again to call my partner instead of me, due to our professions, and they constantly ignored this and rang me. We had to deal with our buyers directly as Bridgfords had very little communication with either of us, and would actually ring us to ask for an update on our buyers situation! Causing us more stress and an extra party to deal with and update. Whenever we spoke with Bridgfords they had absolutely no idea what was going on and couldn’t keep track of any part of the sale. They were by far more of a hinderance than a help. They also didn’t conduct any showings of our flat themselves (as they had initially sold to us) and we had to do every showing as whenever we asked them they said they were busy. They charged us £2,200 for the pleasure of all of this.Overall, if we ever come to sell again we will be sure to steer clear of Bridgfords and would highly advise others do the same.

Dont Waste Your Time
I had a very bad experience with one of their estate agent in cheadle hulme. Be aware of Omara, she views you the property and stands still and doesn't even puts up an effort to speak or show the property. A pure lack of training and wonder how bridgfords keep a check? On top, if there's other properties to see, they'd give you excuses and never deliver what they promise, delays on delays. I guess barely they have good agents and mostly its all bad. Its pitty to know what such companies has such employee who works as if they are forced to do so.
5/5
Buying your first house is stressful, but Bridgfords in Hazel Grove made the experience very smooth and easy with regular updates. Thanks Glen and the team. Would definitely recommend.
Thank you for your kind comments and 5* review! Your words have been made known to our local team as well as your recommendation. Best wishes, Scott

Probably the rudest person I have ever dealt with today! I have been in the house market over 6 months now, I am selling a home and buying a home, I have been in a chain that unfortunately didn't go though, and my house has sold and im here again trying find our perfect home. Basically I have delt with many estate agents and ive never been so put of, from buying a house as i have today! The adviser was rude, pushy and only cared about making me come in to discuss mortages rather then letting me view the house, he lied about it being sold as well. Worst thing is i was actually dealing with Bridgfords Stockport in my last chain and didnt have any issues. But yeah me and my wife will not be using Hazel Grove branch, and we wont view or bid on any houses they sell. Oh and to top it all off he didn't believe i was serious buyer, that's why i was treated in such a bad way IMO.
Dominic, I am so sorry to read that your experience has not met your expectations. Countrywide take all feedback very seriously and I would like to invite you email full details to review@countrywide.co.uk where the Customer Relations Team will respond. Kind regards, Mark Bennett

Not a great experience
We went to Bridgfords because they got the best reviews on Google. OMG if they are the best, just imagine what the worst would be like. Gave us a very dodgy valuation 30% above what we eventually sold it for.

Do not trust them, they will rob you blind
Do not under any circumstances go with these! They will steal from you. They never asked prior to us applying whether we would need a guarantor and because it became obvious we did after application they decided not to go with us and stole our holding deposit from us. We a family with a small child and a baby on its way and they refused to give us our money back. They wouldn't budge a little bit. Not even offer a little bit back. Horrible estate agent that will rob you blind. Do not trust them!!!!

Zero engagement for deposit return
My tenancy ended on 9th Jan and I emailed Bridgfords to ask how I go about getting my deposit back.Emailed again on 15th Jan saying there had been no reply received to my request.An agent did respond so say someone from the deposit team would be in touch.Chased again on 22nd Jan advising that nothing had been heard - to date zero response.They were very good when it came to take my money. There can be no excuse for the lack of engagement. A dispute has been raised with MyDeposit.
