Selling a property in York following the death of my mother. Bridgfords were a very slick sell to my sister but the reality was far different. House was hugely overvalued and as a result the 'great deal' fixed fee we agreed to was higher in ...

I'm extremely disappointed with how Bridgford handled my application to lease a property in York.
I'm not angry just that I didn't get it- it happens. I'm angry because in this case it wasn't a better offer from someone else, or a failed reference, or ...

What agent could do to change your mind?
They could speak to the landlord timely and inform me of the contact.
They could offer us a standard agreement when they knew that we are going to be there long term- or could speak to the landlord about changing the agreement at least, rather than ignore us completely and take the money every year for NOTHING.
They could accept my notice and pay me the bond when I moved out - especially that I made sure that the landlord wasn't going to loose a penny on me moving out- as he is a great guy and wouldn't want the agency to rip him off when I found tenants easily for him for the property.
They could call me and apologise that they have forgotten to acknowledge my notice?
They could have released my bond when I moved out and the house was not damaged in any way?
More than anything - They could have just been DECENT and human and honest and fair.
On top of that- When I called yesterday- I requested from Vicky- who answered my call, to put me through to the agency manager to complaint. Very quickly I heard in response that the manageress was in a meeting. I asked for email contact to be sent to me, so that I can write to her with my complaint- and hey hoo, it is Wednesday evening now, and I am still waiting to receive the contact details. Because for the agency it is sooooo hard to send an email.

What agent could do to change your mind?
Answering the phone, responding to emails, dealing with issues in a timley manner, being polite, reducing there fees significantly because there is no way that what they charge amounts to what they actually do and it is super high compared to other agencies.
Had I have known I would have never viewed the property in the first place. They need to be more transparent and upfront about thier fees, but they are not.
