KIM BATCHELOR OF WARDS ESTATE AGENTS

Kim of Wards has been part of my life for almost a year now, she is amazing. Her commitment, strength of Character and attitude to her job is unbelievable. She has chipped away continuously at matters to achieve the end goal of a particularly problematic sale of my flat.Also, over that period, she has given me regular updates and has gone a step further by ringing me intermittently to assure me that she was still on my sale giving me reassurance that I had not been forgotten. Well done, Kim, thank you most sincerely. Wards are lucky to have you as one of their employees. I hope that they give you a good Christmas bonus.Over my lifetime I have moved several times and have always returned to Wards as I consider them to be the best estate agents on the market.Rosalind Harvey05

Sales - Professionalism and Support

Keshal is our Sales Advisor and he has been fantastic to work with. His communication skills and customer service are second to none. We have felt very well looked after. We requested a virtual viewing last week but we were nervous as we didn't know what to expect. He did it excellently and the experience he created with that viewing made it feel like we were physically there with him. Well done Keshal 👏 Sharai and Ambrose

Wards in canterbury!

Wards in canterbury were fantastic but Alfie particularly went above and beyond to help us, he always kept his word and helped us during our purchase with things he didn't really have to! He really went the extra mile and it made buying a house much less stressful. Thank you Alfie!

So helpful

I’ve recently rented a flat through Wards, Laura was really helpful with getting this sorted really quickly. From looking to moving in only took a couple of weeks. Laura kept good contact with updating me along the way and always on hand for any questions I had. Thank you for making it such an easy move.

The experience have been a very good one from start to finish; Although, the process wasn't easy, but the staffs involved with our mortgage were excellent. The support given to us was unbelievable and this aid to the successful sales of our property. Georgina Gray and her team, whom is our mortgage broker was very good and highly experience. She worked tiredly to secure our mortgage. She was great throughout the process of our application and simple the best. Kim Batchelor was very supportive, approachable, she constantly re-assured us and update us on the progress of both the sales of our property as well as checking on the progress of our mortgage application. Again, Gary Snedden and all the staffs especially at Gillingham and Rehainam branch thank you very much for your help and support.

I want to thank lot of people who have contributed to the success of my purchase of my flat. I don't remember all the names, however I really want to say a big thank you. This was my first experience ever in my entire life. I come from Italy, so I had no experience at all about buying a property in UK, and never bought a property before anyway. I love to live in UK, and this is why I thank all at Wards who assisted me with patience in a territory that was totally new for me. Thank you again, lot of love and arrivederci 😃

Hi Alberta,Thank you for taking the time to leave such a detailed review. We're thrilled to hear that your first experience of purchasing a property in the UK was a positive one. It was our pleasure to assist you through this new and exciting journey. We wish you all the best in your new home and hope you continue to enjoy living in the UK.Best wishes, Wards

Please stay away from this agency

Please stay away from this agency. I signed a joint contract with an ex partner and when things ended, I contacted Wards to remove my name. They said this was impossible as it was a joint contract and I needed to wait till the end of the tenancy agreement which I did. However, once it got to the end of the tenancy, Wards told me on several occasions they were in the process of removing my name. It has now been a year and my name is still on the tenancy agreement. Due to this, I am receiving emails and calls from contractors including Wards regarding information on the flat.On top of all of this, I have been chasing up a deposit which has just been a nightmare. Please stay away from this agency!!!

Miss · 20 November 2024

Agent replied · 26 December 2024

Dear Miss RomeoThank you for leaving us your review and we are sorry that you have concerns with the service that you received. Removing a joint tenant from an Assured Shorthold Tenancy (AST) Agreement before expiry of the minimum tenancy term is not always a straightforward process. Both tenants need to agree to this change and the remaining tenant needs to be referenced in order to confirm to the landlord that they can afford the rent on their own without requiring a guarantor. Organising the return of the deposit can also have complications.Should you wish to discuss your comments in more detail, or if you require any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact our Customer Support department on 01702 540802 or at customer.support@arunestates.co.uk. Many thanksWards

A good experience

Thanks to all those at Wards who made our selling and buying a good experience. From start to finish they were courteous friendly and informative. Natalie started the ball rolling and Debbie kept the process moving. All working well as a team. We have used Wards in the past and would not hesitate in doing so again.

Unable to give no stars

Unable to give no stars? Yes they’ll sell your house but because you’ll have had enough of selling and them that you’ll give your house away just to make the experience stop! It starts by being assured what they’ll do for you and that they’ll be giving you the premium service that they are charging you for, you’ll also have to join via an extra charge that gets you preferential service from their solicitor which whilst at the moment is good it isn’t cheap as they make it seem in the glossy pamphlet! You won’t see or hear from that particular guy that has promised you this service and when you request a call and to update their very poor advert in Rightmove you’ll get one of their underlings who will fob you off with their arrogance! The final straw come when their “Progressor” who was labelled a “pit bull” when it comes to her determination will email you moaning about her workload and that basically she doesn’t currently care about your case until it gets to the very final hurdles (have to assume that but as we’re not there and unlikely to?). Subsequent emails have been ignored? So save your hard earned money and find another cheaper way to advertise on Rightmove because that’s all I feel I’ve paid for? Subsequent review to follow if they pull their socks up or we sack it all off??

Agent replied · 26 December 2024

Dear Simon Thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback and we are sorry that you have not been happy with the service that you have received so far. We would like to reassure you that, whilst we encourage our customers to consider instructing our recommended Conveyancers due to the service that they deliver in addition to our channels of communication with them which helps to aid the process, this does not result in any preferential treatment. Ultimately it is the customers decision to instruct the Conveyancer that they feel most comfortable with, we only make recommendations based on our experience and do so to try and ensure that our customers receive the best care during what can be a stressful process. Regular and effective communication is extremely important and we are sorry if any of your attempts at contact have gone unanswered. We always strive to provide our customers with the best service and take matters seriously if this is not achieved. Consequently, we would very much appreciate it if you would contact our Customer Support department on 01702 540802 or at customer.support@arunestates.co.uk so that we may discuss your comments further. Many thanks. Wards

I recently had the pleasure of dealing with Emma Penfold she is new to the company but you couldn’t tell, on one of my most stressful moves she calmed me down on the phone laughed and joked with me it felt like I was talking to a friend not a sales Progressor she went above and beyond to keep me informed and communicated up until exchange of my property. I’m so pleased she was there talking me through everything. Thank you so much

Rented flat Olympia Way from a great agent, but regrettable 2nd year with place kept immaculate and rent always paid in advance, Wards took over the rental. Encouraged owner to raise rent and gave us notice...never returned calls, emails replied late, left us with a dodgy washer/dryer for 6 months and boiler therefore a huge bill.....they refused to help and are basically a shower. Now moved to a much superior place through a great agency...would never rent from wards again. Many people had problems on Olympia Way with Wards. A shame they are letting their sales side down to such an extent!

H · 23 October 2024

Agent replied · 10 November 2024

Regular rent reviews are required to ensure that rent remains in line with market values therefore small increase was recommended when Wards took over management. We apologise for the delay to the boiler repair after the landlord’s contractor failed to attend and Wards sourced an alternative eco boiler specialist. A contractor was booked to fix the washing machine immediately however you cancelled the appointment because the machine was in good working order. If you would like to discuss this matter further, please contact Customer Support on 01702 540802 or email customer.support@arunestates.co.uk. Thank you Wards

Hello I would like to let you know what fantastic work Amanda has done to assist myself and others in our chain. Wards/Amanda was not our estate agent, however she went above and beyond to assist where she could. We were with Purple bricks. Amanda has provided meaningful and valuable updates throughout our sale and purchase. We got nothing from PB. Thank you for all your teams help. Regards Jade Symons

A BIG thank you.

I am in the process of buying a house in hythe and if it wasn’t for Maisie from wards this wouldn’t be happening. I’m a busy person and don’t get much time to look at properties so when Maisie kindly said she would show me around a property on her day off I was amazed and so thankful! This is something that sadly doesn’t seem to happen now days. She was very professional and gave me all the answers and advice I needed. I’m now in the process of buying the property in mention. So a big thank you to wards but most of all Maisie. Thanks again Neil Griggs

I bought a property recently and wanted to let it. I found in Abi and Hamid the perfect letting agent. Everything was communicated and explained promptly and in advance. I was kept up to date with all developments and at no point I was under the impression that I don’t know somethings as every time, everything was very well explained. Look forward to doing business with you again guys.
