TrustpilotWould never use Wards again.
The agents were polite enough initially. I had signed the lease and agreed with the landlords handyman to meet at a future date for some work to be done on the property. He wasn’t happy about this so he went in the next day without agreement.My partner went to the house at a later date to find it had been flooded. The handyman left the shower running, spraying out of the bath. I contacted Wards, the letting agent. They stalled for a week then finally said; “it’s your problem, you signed the lease.”Very Disappointing. Would never go to Wards again. The property also had fleas.

Dear JoeyThank you for taking the time to leave your feedback and we are sorry if your experience with Wards lettings has not been an entirely positive one. Customer satisfaction is of the utmost importance to us and having reviewed your file it is apparent that whilst a contractor did attend the property for a leak that had been reported, this was not related to the shower and the contractor is adamant that he had not left the shower on. Our records also reflect that 24-hours after you had moved into the property, you reported the situation in respect of the fleas and it is regrettable that the previous tenants had not fulfilled their responsibility in accordance with their tenancy agreement. We regret any inconvenience that this cause you but we are pleased to note that this was promptly rectified for you.Should you wish to discuss your feedback further or if you have any additional concerns you would like us to address, please do not hesitate to contact our Customer Relations department on 01702 540802 or at customer.relations@arunestates.co.uk. Thank you. Kind regardsWards

Wards letting have been helping me rent my property for years now and the service is always quick, efficient and reliable. This year was no exception. From pictures being taken to someone moving in was only a few weeks. When renting out my property, I look no further than Wards Letting Canterbury (thanks Abi, Hamid and Matt).

TrustpilotAn Agency that cares
I would like to thank all of the Wards Staff that I met in Margate, Victoria, Katy & Megan in particular. The service was good, reliable, friendly & although in the end I didn’t buy through them, they were outstanding.

Grace stands out as a shining star, she's on top of everything, exceptionally responsive and proactive which is even more impressive given it being the busiest time in modern history to try buy a property - I can't imagine how much she has on her plate but still manages to be friendly and very good at her jobPositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

Big Mark and Darren have been fantastic estate agents in our hunt for a property in the area. We were made to feel very confident and given a lot of useful information about the area and available properties--both pros and cons- and how to go about thinking about what we wanted to buy. We have had excellent advice from Big Mark and Darren and will feel very confident in using Wards at Hythe to find and buy our property here. Thankyou Big Mark and Darren!

TrustpilotLandlord claim against tennants deposit.
We used WARDS to fully manage our rental property. The elderly tennant had never caused any problems. However, between Aug 20 and Apr 21. Her breached tennancy by chain smoking in the place and letting his birds fly around the property. Jan 21 no inspection done due to covid. The property was a complete mess & reeked of tobacco & other 'things'. Helen ROSE at WARDS was exceptionally helpful in getting us through the process of claiming against the deposit & managed to secure it for us in full. There are other service issues I need to take up with WARDS, but this element of the problem was handled very professionally by someone who is new to the role.

Our experience with Wards during and after our sale through to completion was very good. Staff were helpful and informative. We had a dead line for completion which was met due to Kim’s constant contact with solicitors and the buyer, she made it happen and we are grateful to her for that.

TrustpilotAfter meeting up with Abbie
After meeting up with Abbie, she listened to us and then gave her input from her valuable experience. We progressed to a sale and also used wards to buy another property. Anuska took over the finalizing and mediation of sale and buying of our next property. 10 out of 10 for them and all the others that I have not mentioned that go out of their comfort zone to help out. Thier commitment to thier company surpasses expectations. Respects and regards. Dave and alison

GoogleIf you are looking for a property in a professional manner these are the ones to go with.
I’ve spoken to many estate agents but yesterday went to properties with a young gentleman called Jydon who was the best at being realistic with the properties that we were viewing. Didn’t push for a sale just wanted to show us that these houses had potential and could be future homes. Lovely gentlemen.

TrustpilotIf only it were always like this ...
I haven't written a Trustpilot review before but felt compelled to this time. I bought a period industrial property converted by Quinns, which is absolutely stunning. The design and finish are of a very rare standard. But best of all was the agent, Jessica Williams. She was full of energy and enthusiasm, a pleasure to deal with, 100% efficient, and always completely straight. I have bought and sold a lot of property, and it's usually a process full of stress; but this one was so smooth and painless.

TrustpilotAmazing service, very quick sale and brilliant price.
I asked 2 estate agents to come and value our house. The first estate agent valued the property at £180,000 to £190,000. The second estate agent was Wards from the Ashford, Kent Office. They were shocked that the previous estimate was so low and suggested we would easily get £220,000 and probably more. For this reason we decided to go with Wards. The property went live on Rightmove last Wednesday evening. Viewing on Saturday had 7 different people. Today Monday another viewing. We have had four offers ranging from £215,000 to £230,000. We have decided to take an offer of £225,000. This is amazing. I cannot believe that the property has sold so quickly and for so much more money than the first estate agent estimated we would get.The service has been outstanding and I would have no hesitation in recommending Wards.

I chose wards of Canterbury because of an estate agent called Abi, as she was the only estate agent to help me as this was my first buy to let property.Although we didn't purchase through wards, they were the best I dealt with. All the staff really helpful. Abi stayed in contact throughout offering advice. Other estate agents just weren't as helpful and professional when we spoke to them.We are very pleased with wards so far. Would highly recommend.

TrustpilotNo ethics, Wards at Hythe
Accepted our offer on a property in Hythe, confirmed by email the vendors had accepted and it had been taken off the market.Then accepted another offer from buyers 2 days later. Now it appears that you can buy a propertythat's not even being marketed!I really think Wards need to refer to their conformation email that the offer had been accepted by them and the vendors and the property had been removed from the market. Also as far as the other buyers chain being shorter, well, how do you get shorter than no chain? Just be honest please!
Ron · 26 May 2021
Agent replied · 25 October 2024
Dear RonThank you for leaving your review. Whilst we fully appreciate both your frustration and disappointment, we are legally obliged to submit any offers received for a property to the seller up until an exchange of contracts has taken place, even if the property is no longer being actively marketed. On this occasion, another buyer submitted a higher offer with a shorter chain and consequently the seller decided to accept it.We understand that this would have been disappointing and we are sorry for any inconvenience caused. We hope that you are able to secure the purchase of another property in the near future and we would of course be happy to continue assisting you in any way that we can.Kind RegardsWards
