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

TrustpilotJust 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.

GoogleHave not had a good experience dealing with Bridgfords at all. Staff were extremely rude, did not get back to us with outstanding information. Also during viewings they were basically unable to answer any questions. Overall we found them to be very unprofessional. Have not had any issues with several other estate agents in the area so would definably avoid.
Thank you for taking the time to leave this feedback, we take all comments seriously and this has been passed on to the Regional Manager to discuss with the branch to see how they can improve for the future. If you would like to go through this in more detail at all, please do email me at review@countrywide.co.uk Kind regards, Lucy, Customer Relations.

TrustpilotLack 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.

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.

TrustpilotAshley - 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

TrustpilotReliable 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!

TrustpilotAwful 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.

TrustpilotIllegal
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.

GoogleLeanne and her team worked really hard to make this sale happen. A number of issues arose but they dealt with each one efficiently and professionally. They were friendly and keen to help. I would certainly use them again. Ian
Ian, I would just like pass on my thanks for your recent review. It was certainly not an easy sale to get through, but persistence and teamwork got us there in the end. You were a delight to deal with and we will look forward to working with you again in the future.

GoogleAgainst all the odds with a difficult and frustrating situation the Bridgfords team went above and beyond the call of duty to make the sale of our house happen. Leanne, Emily, Ashley and Adam were incredibly helpful. Huge thank you!!!
Thank you for your positive review. These are always great to share with the team as recognition for their hard work. It was a difficult one to get through but we got there in the end. We wish you and family all the very best for your future.

TrustpilotTerrible 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.

GoogleI have nothing but praise for Bridgefords in Culcheth. They have provided excellent service during the selling process of my fathers house. Thanks particularly to Alex who I have found so helpful and efficient, although all the team there are great! They answer questions quickly and keep you informed along the way. The video marketing was also worthwhile and helped show the house in the best possible way. Thanks again! Recommend absolutely!PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism
Fantastic to read such wonderful comments and thank you for your 5* review! Best wishes, Scott @ Customer Relations

TrustpilotDont 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.

TrustpilotNot 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.

GoogleFrom Andrew’s initial visit and advice and Ashleigh’s help and outstanding communication with me, I am delighted with the friendly service I’ve experienced with Culcheth Bridgefords and would recommend them to anyone selling a property. Thanks team!
Many thanks Phil for your fantastic 5* review and recommendation. Best wishes, Lucy, Customer Relations.

TrustpilotDo 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!!!!

TrustpilotZero 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.

TrustpilotWe highly recommend Bridgfords
We highly recommend Bridgfords - Whitby. Maddie, Victoria and the team are amazing. They are very approachable, friendly, have excellent communication and also very knowledgeable on the area and of the market.

GoogleThe team at Bridgfords Culcheth couldn’t have done more to help with a recent purchase. Christie in particular was very helpful during the negotiation and the communication was fantastic. If the initial process to place an offer wasn’t so complex (in person ID required, meeting with mortgage advisor) it would’ve been 5*!
Thank you for your brilliant review. Best wishes, Lucy, Customer Relations.

Bridgfords Denton team! 5*Denton branch team was extremely helpful, professional and pleasure to dealing with. They helped me to make my move to a new property within a couple of weeks and supported me throughout, including communication with all the suppliers. Megan was absolutely brilliant, she showed great support and care, professional approach in a timely manner. I would highly recommend.

TrustpilotAvoid.
Avoid.Politely & calmly registered a complaint within the Penketh/Westbrook Warrington branch after our doorbell camera recorded a Bridgefords employee needlessly verbally insulting us whilst at the front of our property. All members of staff informed have been dismissive & even whilst we have the evidence no formal apology has been given by the member of staff involved. I find the lack of accountability on a basic decent human behaviour level to be rude, unprofessional & has made our experience with Bridgefords unpleasant.
Where the same review appears twice we show it once. We leave out reviews that name another agent or another of the brand's offices.
