Since we opened our first office in Ash Vale in 1991, during the heart of the recession, Bridges have shown a flair for marketing and service rarely experienced by those 'on the move'. Colour presentation and the desire to be the first choice in every area we operate separates us from the majority of Estate Agents. Twenty one years later we have six local branches covering North Hampshire and West Surrey with directors still on the shop floor delivering our ethos to our customers.

I have been letting properties for 50 years. My latest property in Hook was let within a week by Bridges and all went exceptionally well. I was extremely happy with everyone and then my property was handed to Emily Hudson. What a star, she has reviewed ...

Very poor, didn't help me at all and let me get a long way through the system into buying a property and then suggested to their seller that someone else should get it. I had already got a survery on the property too, so lost all the money I had spent. I went very quickly to another agent. Do not trust these people. Should be sacked or prosecuted. ...

Dear T,
Your review made for disappointing reading and I am extremely sorry to hear of the failings that you experienced when dealing with our team in Farnborough. It is clear that we could and should have handled things very differently and we did not even come close to the high service standards that we would expect to deliver to our customers. If you would like to discuss the matter I would be pleased to have an opportunity to speak to you in person, and if you have not yet secured a propert ...

Reply is not factual, it was less than 5 months after terminating your contract we sold, other houses also did not sell and had our experience with poor unqualified views and he saw fit to complain to your management, Agents tasked to show our house that mislead viewers within 60 seconds of walking in the door , agents who couldn’t even describe an orangery. Try and cover yourselves in roses but for me your what one would put on roses. ...
