Bridgfords is just another name for Countrywide lettings (check their own website). It's painting over the cracks (probably at the former tenants expense) you can't polish a turd. Same rude staff, same scamming ways, they use dodgy one man bands to fake receipts for work ...

The agent provided me and my partner with information verbally which was later challenged by Countrywide. They did not honour the terms and conditions of the verbal agreement and a sum of ‚£3600 is in dispute. I am aware after some research that this amongst other tricks is becoming a trait for Brigfords and Countrywide to get people to sign agreements with them under false pretences!
The conduct of Brigfords & Countrywide should be controlled from a legal point of view to ensure they are compliant and are providing a good service, which after research and my current experience I can say "They are not".

Manners cost nothing - politeness over the telephone is a must and many in the office require re-training at bridgfords. They believe their client to be the landlord, which is a misnoma. Both tenant and landlord are their client and they should treat them with equal respect.
