I feel like I should pipe up because I can't stand estate agents in the first place but bridgfords really grinds my gears. I first got in contact with them in November 2012 to view some properties as we were just starting to look to buy and wanted to see what our money could get us. Mostly because every bridgfords listing has maybe 3 pictures at obscure angles as if you're supposed to decide on a house from that. I tried to arrange a viewing but they wanted me to come in and go through their mortgage team. I wasn't comfortable with this and said I was a cash buyer just believe me I want to see the properties. I then got calls from the Stockport and Stratford branches at least 3 times a week to both my mobile and house phone. I finally had to say I was no longer interested so the calls would stop. Then even nine weeks later they called me to see if I was still interested. So I left it for a while. Now that we have everything in place I contacte the city centre branch about viewing 2 properties. One I was advised had offers on but I could still view an the other he 'wasn't too sure of the circumstances' so I contacted the other agent it was being let by and found it had been tenanted. So I had arranged a viewing or thought I did of the first property and was to come in Wednesday at 2. Little did I know I was going to be peddled to by a mortgage consultant before even seeing Tom. And then when I did see Tom he just kept shouting to Zed oh how much is that property. I told him my budget and what I wanted and they both laughed in my face saying ill never find that. He printed out a property that was 15k over my budget just acting like that's pennies. Never in my life have I had to repeat myself so many times. I could have stayed at home and browsed zoopla and got more respect than wasting my time going in there. Needless to say I hope they read this and hope they realise I won't be coming back. Laughing in prospective buyers faces is just not on.
What agent could do to change your mind?
Listened to what I wanted. Shown me the property I wanted to see. And not waste my damn time.Attached Filesnbsp;

I would use Bridgfords again... if a meteor shower descended on earth, wiping out every single competitor.Attached Filesnbsp;
Comment on agent fees
The rental fee was enticing, but when you add on every other hidden cost (insurance, no deposit return etc.), it runs the bill through the roof.

I totally feel your pain... I was browsing through the net to find something I could use against Bridgfords and I found your comment. They are good only at chasing when they want your money, they rang me at least 4 times in 2 weeks to confirm the appointment we had to sign the contract (something they could have done via email v easily), then they got us to sign that insurance form we weren't aware of that added extra money to our monthly payment.
The bed is now falling apart (since we moved in ...

Appalling service. After two months of calls they still haven't managed to upload any photos to my listings. They don't return phone calls, even when two different members of staff promised they would be in touch to provide an update.
If their service is this ...
