Above and Beyond - Sam Turner Is an Absolute Credit to Wards

We first met Sam Turner around 9 years ago, when she was the agent who sold us our home, so it was quite lovely that our paths crossed again recently during our house buying and selling journey. Sam has been absolutely incredible throughout. She has gone far beyond what was required or expected of her, stepping in to help wherever she could, even when it wasn’t necessarily her responsibility to do so. She is exceptionally kind, professional, knowledgeable and genuinely supportive, and you always feel that she actually cares about the people she is helping rather than simply doing a job. Buying and selling a home can be incredibly stressful, and having someone like Sam involved makes such a difference. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and we are enormously grateful for all the help, advice and reassurance she has given us. Sam is an incredible person and an absolute credit to the Wards Kings Hill branch. 9 years after first meeting her, she is every bit as wonderful as we remembered. We genuinely cannot thank her enough!!

Wards of New Ash Green

My wife and family have lived in Kent for over 40 years, and every house that we bought or sold, of which there have been many, has been through Wards of Kent. They have always been an efficient and business-like agency. We trust them. Recently, we had to sell a second house in the village of New Ash Green that we were renting-out for over a decade. This was because of the changes in the tenancy laws. The house was vacated by the tenant in March this year. It was well marketed by Wards and attracted a reasonable number of viewers over many months. Although there were a reasonable number of viewers and some price reductions no firm offers were received. This was because the market was already saturated with similar houses in the area; and our house had not had any major improvements compared to the opposition. The months were passing by and it became imperative for us to sell the house before the winter came. Being vacated and empty of any life and furniture in the winter would have rendered it sad and cold. This would have increased the problems of saleability and insurance cover. Also, we wanted to avoid an approaching new fixed term mortgage rate, which was likely to triplicate due to the enduring pressures from inflation and high cost of borrowing. After a few months, the manager of our local Wards branch in New Ash Green was replaced by a new manager, Steven Sanford Steven Sanford did not waste any time in assessing our situation and familiariseing himself with the New Ash Green scene. He came up with some novel solutions. It was obvious that sale by private treaty, which is the normal way, had its risks as many potential buyers might be picky and might demand price reductions or pull out at the last minute; thus causing us much frustration. Steven proposed a new idea, which involved a modern method auction of the house. This had the benefit of finding a reliable buyer and using proven in-house experts and conveyancers; all aimed at the promised securing and shortening of the sale process Steven and other colleagues in Wards had a good understanding of this new modern type of sale. They gave us the confidence that it would work; and in fact, it did work. We were able to sell the house reasonably quickly, without it languishing empty, for months. Yes, the house didn't reach the price that we had originally expected, but it was very possible that this price was completely unrealistic; due to the conditions that were prevalent at the time. So, in particular we would like Steven Sanford for all his care and attention during the sale. He is a very likable and efficient person, and we wish him well in his new post. Peter Davies

Monika was incredibly helpful

Monika was incredibly helpful she was patient and knowledgeable. She had excellent advice and really listened to what we was looking for. She went above and beyond and found a property for us at a different wards branch that ticked all the boxes. I had a bad opinion of wards until meeting her and she change my opinion, so much so that she actually gained additional bussiness as i advised a family member to use wards to sell his property.

Professional with Excellent Communication

Recently purchased a period property through Wards of Ramsgate. The service I received was excellent, the staff were professional and friendly. Communication was first rate, even if I had to leave a message it was always acted on and Amanda Robinson (not in the Ramsgate office) would follow through with a call and speedy assistance. A shout out to James from the Ramsgate branch, he was an absolute super star! So helpful and accommodating, very professional with great communication skills. This was so appreciated as I was moving to a completely new county and area.

I have been renting a property from…Wards Lettings of Kent

I have been renting a property from Wards Lettings for the last 3 and a half years. They are diligent and obliging along with being so professional, in so many ways. I highly recommend them. Over these years, whenever I've had to make telephone calls, the person I've spoken to has been kind, charming and listens, responding in a friendly, satisfying manner. I enjoy speaking to Emmet when I pay my rent, via telephone. Also Will. The staff I've met, in person, including, Tammy and Laura has been a pleasure, both of whom, have treated me in a friendly, caring & personable manner. Sadly, I have to re-locate, due to commute distance. Finally....such a huge mention of respect to Billy Flynn...this Man has showed me such respect, he listens, reacts in an amiable, friendly manner, so rare these days. Billy is such a warm-hearted Gentleman...."Nuff Respect" Sir. I had a problem.. never have I experienced such a compassionate response in a business capacity. He listens and responds so reassuringly. I haven't met him, in person, however, that's how it feels via telephone. Billy is a fantastic ambassador for Wards Of Kent. I truly wish His career prospers. Warmest Regards, Billy and Wards.

Not all heros wear capes. We were let down by another estate agent which left us in a vulnerable position with a family member with dementia.

Urgent release of tenancy deposit required

I have tenants who are experiencing financial hardship and who are moving out of one property I own into another. This required releasing the deposit on the first property to make it available for the second. It transpired that the release request had been sent to the wrong email address and this was the reason for them not having received it. With only 3 days until they moved into the new property and need the deposit, we called to see if we could chase it up. I spoke to Sangeetha who quickly grasped the problem and contacted both her accounts team, the tenant and myself and managed to quickly resolve the issue and get the deposit to the tenants on time. We are all very grateful to her and thank her for her speed and professionalism.
