Tom has recently done a valuation of my property. Tom has been very professional , courteous and arrived on time. I am very pleased with the service and would recommend Tom and Wards Estate agents to anyone who has a question regarding property matters.

Had a slight issue which was resolved swiftly by Kirsty Hunt. Customer Service has always been exceptional - across the team. However, special shout out to Kirsty for going above and beyond.

Kate has been really helpful with my buying a property so far, friendly, quick to respond to queries and flexible in getting me viewings (even when I asked at short notice!). Maria has also kept me up to date with the buying process and what is left to do. It's really helped de-stress the buying process for me as a first time buyer!

Stay safe. Kind regards Sam Dalton Senior Operations Director Wards Estate Agents

As a property investor, I've worked with many estate agents over the years, and I must say that Wards has truly exceeded my expectations. Lila played a crucial role in facilitating communication between me and the buyers, ensuring the process was smooth and efficient. Having dealt with less reliable agents in the local area, I have no hesitation in highly recommending Wards, especially for the outstanding service provided by Lila Chivers.

Pleasant experience

Ashley Taylor came to value our property recently and we wanted to acknowledge his professionalism and courteous manner. His in-depth knowledge of selling properties and the current market really helped us to understand the process. We are also extremely impressed by the marketing report and calculated costs of moving provided. Whilst we are still thinking long and hard about a move, we would recommend Wards to anyone thinking of buying or selling.

Kind, helpful and professional staff. Ashley and Maria were particularly supportive and were there very step of the way. The property was part of my late Mother’s estate and was therefore a difficult and emotional matter to cope with. Ashley was extremely sympathetic for which I am eternally grateful.

To the left is the Claim of Wards of Kent that they replaced carpets in an entire flat before we moved in(re-interpreting it again is a further garnishing of the lies). To the right is the email they sent to confirm they only replaced lounge and hallway carpets before we moved in. At the center is their supporting evidence that they are replacing the carpets in the entire flat "again" after we moved out. I wonder who has English as first language that cannot differentiate between "both bedrooms" and "the entire flat" Wards washed the carpet in both bedrooms before we moved in but lied they replaced it, we didn't recover from the smell that we thought was from the wetness of the wash, we complained, they evicted us, finally replaced the carpet and claimed in on us! Wards go over the moon to protect the interest of Landlords, I love real estate and I hope to be the landlord of several homes someday, it will be a great delight to work with Wards. Who wouldn't favour the Landlords that bring in the big bucks over tenants that bring in peanuts? Lol

We've just bought our house through Wards and we found Adam, Ashley and Tom to be really helpful and generous with their time and advice. Tom and Ashley were always incredibly friendly, professional and willing to help and I don't think we would've go things over the line if it wasn't for Adam's patience and diplomacy.

Fabulous service from Kirsty

Just had the pleasure of speaking to Kirsty Hunt at Wards. She was super friendly and personable on the phone and explained everything fully regarding some unallocated rental payments they’re returning to us. Great call and quick to follow it up with a friendly email too giving another overview so my wife is also aware. Great service Kirsty, thanks!

After the sale of the property l…

After the sale of the property l experienced a complete lack of communication and empathy from.the agent. Despite repeated attempts to get assistance. They failed to contact the seller after collecting their commission. Their handling of the situation was highly unprofessional showing no willingness to support or resolve outstanding issues. Overall the service provided was below expexmctation and l would not recommend their services to anyone looking for a a reliable and responsible agent.

Tom from the Canterbury branch of Wards went above and beyond to help us with the sale of my late father’s house. As executors my brother and I had little knowledge of how to proceed with putting the house on the market.Tom was helpful, knowledgeable and very professional. Tom made a stressful time more bearable for which we are really grateful.
