Their incompetence is second to none... Nathan/ Helen were not proactive in seeing to things that were out of place and were promised to be fixed prior to us moving into the property rented, despite several reminders via mails and calls to highlight and stress ...

Worst estate agency I've ever used by FAR! You couldn't pay me to rent through them, will never use these guys to rent through again! Charges absolutely extortionate and they charge for EVERYTHING they do. Just got done renting a property through them for 6 months, after numerous mid term calls attempting to arrange viewings!? When I'd only been there for 2 months because they hadn't bothered to check their sytems, they then harrassed me saying I hadn't paid my rent when I had!!! Absolute joke! Then I get an email along the lines of 'great news your landlord has agreed to offer you the property at the same fixed cost for a further term, all you have to do to claim this is pay about £200 in ADDITIONAL admin fees to stay'!!!! I've rented for years and have never ever heard of anything quite like this. Then to top it all off my new estate agent called me last week when they were trying to collect a reference re: me renting through them. THEY ASKED FOR £25 TO GIVE A REFERENCE!!!! Absolutely horrendous, I'd seriously rather be homeless than rent through these ever again.

I have now let two properties from Bridgfords and after assurances that their abysmal administration would be improved during my second letting I was shocked and bewildered to find that their customer service could reach even greater heights of incompetence. Moving house is frustrating enough ...

About as extortionate as the rest, they are no worse in this department than any other landlord however their service has been abysmal which is what has prompted me to write this review.

They are useless at getting anything done. They lied to me about all their fees and when it came to paying they changed it all. They expect rent on time but fail to do any repairs on time. I would not recommend them to anyone. ...

The worst agents in Manchester. Never show up on time or ever. They have forgotten that they are service providers. They waste prospective tenants time as well as landlords' time. When the property is not rented eventually the landlord has to reduce the rent. It's ...

Outrageous fees to move in. Forcing the rent up after our year contract ended, when I refused to pay the extra due to unresolved problems they hiked it up further. Hidden expenses for paperwork that should be included from the application fee, including the audacity to charge us if we were not available for a visitation, but themselves not showing up and the appointment had to be rearranged (losing two days of work ourselves as they couldn't give a rough time)

What agent could do to change your mind?
Where do i start..... Took them weeks to change over my bank details for rent payment, still send out invoices and statements to my old address even after numerous emails, phone calls to the office who always tell me that the computer systems are down and so cant look at my details or change them. Three emails sent 2 weeks ago with my new contact details on and suprise suprise they are still calling my ex. Useless!! Never go with this company.....
